In the end their adamant push for Trudeau to step down is probably what cost the Conservatives this election.
The part that's always surprising to me is how these things get a foot hold in certain parts of the population. Like I get older people that probably have that view, and even certain trades or people that work in oil and gas.
But I see a lot of well educated people that are under 40 in my timeline sharing that view today (a couple lawyers and nurses) and wondering how they could ever think that separating would actually be a good idea.

If Jean Charest had won the conservative leadership I think he'd be Prime Minister today even with Carney running. PP is really unlikeable.
