Ford just won a stonking majority in Canada’s most populous province by being a conservative populist - but a conservative populist of a very different stripe from Poilievre. He’s shown you can win elections as a conservative in Canada without embracing the MAGA-style politics of conspiracy, hyper-partisanship, and hatred.
It’s not clear to me how much of this is down to Poilievre’s personal politics, and how much is because the CPC has been captured at the grass roots by loons in a way the Ontario provincial Conservatives have not.
