For all the talk about people “suddenly” backing Carney as he moves the Liberal party right, what’s ignored is how many of the same people were backing O’Toole before he started pandering to the far right (and nodding along to his message to the party on the way out).
It’s surprising to me that conservatives still struggle to understand after all these years what Canadians despise or, at best, manage to just barely tolerate about what the CPC has become.
Easy to convince yourself centrist, pragmatic policies are suddenly popular because a Liberal is standing behind them. Unfortunately there’s failure to learn the lesson at hand if you actually believe that, which is what is going to keep the CPC and their supporters as losers.
Eventually, someone within that party and those supporting it need to wake up.
