I think the concept of shadow governing and forcing the liberals to reject ideas would have been far better for Canada. The risk of the #### Trudeau campaign was that he resigned.

In fairness to the PC's, they decimated Trudeau's popularity and were headed to a landslide political win.
They were playing things well from a political victory standpoint.
It took the perfect combination of Trump doing the most insane things and Carney coming out of no where to bring us to today.
The PC's just don't have a plan B and never thought they'd need one.
