Well, no. You created the idea of the comment being 'only the CPC are political opportunists' in your head because somebody pointed out how Poilievre got himself into the corner he is in, and then got upset and went straight for the Whataboutism regarding the Liberals. They didn't mention the Liberals because it wasn't really relevant. The Liberals didn't paint themselves into a corner where they struggle to separate themselves from MAGA.
Opportunism often comes down to luck. Had Trudeau waited to resign until after the ####storm, he might have interpreted this shift in support as a reason to stick around. The Liberals are lucky he announced his intention to resign when he did. The Conservatives can't say much, because they wanted him to resign. It was basically their idea. That's bad luck. So much in politics is about timing.
