I don't know which of their (CPC) main campaign planks remain. I think that the Liberals have eaten their lunch on virtually every file, and if you go back to December 1, 2024, I'm not sure if anyone could've seen this coming.

Liberals today are pretty much CPC lite. They really have no resemblance to the party that was handing out GST holiday breaks on Dec 2024 and laughing at Canadians fortunes calling it a vibe-session.
Poilievre couldn't pivot when he needed to, and couldn't read the room that priorities changes significantly. Liberals pivoted and have taken over the radical centrist position in spades stealing Poilievre's thunder and without the social conservative stink. That's the CPC's loss. Maybe they should have thought of that before spending time on sites like justlikejustin.ca?
Reality though is that some within the Liberal camp are extremely upset with the pipeline deal (seemingly Trudeau loyalists and environmentalists). Carney has certainly shifted the party's fortunes for the better in his pragmatism but will his party revolt? There are a number of ideologists still within the party.

Also of note, Jenni Byrne is now out, but she should have never been in.

Replaced by...Danielle Smith and Blaine Higgs's campaign manager? Good grief.
