I am curious what they are going to do for a leader. Are they going to double down on the right-wing populist bullishit, or are they going to find someone reasonable.
Also, poor PP is going to have to find himself a real job now.
It is unfortunate the former reform part of the CPC is unlikely to let it happen, but a “Progressive Conservative” leader like Peter Mackay or Tim Houston could be very popular in the current political climate
Just like the Dems in the US are infected with a captured opposition faction who run the DNC at its roots, the Canadian Cons are infected with WildRose/Reform which are just labels for Koch funded MAGA.
The Cons had their civil war, and the PCs of old lost. I think, despite this election being a rejection of that bullshit, the Cons will double down and double down again because its not grass roots based. It and Western Seperatism is just Koch funded propaganda because Koch is the guy who makes the money on the price differential between WTI and WCS. They will do anything to maintain the billions in free money they get. They fund MAGA the same way.
🔮 I forsee at least an attempt at social media influencer. He loves trolling and attention. He already has a platform. He has been double cancelled which is a giant boost. (And unlike many claims to have been canceled, this one is true, at least in one domain.)
If he can read the currents and catch a good wave on some right wingnut conspiracy theories he could have a lucrative career, at least for a little while.
If they want to keep him, someone who won a safe, rural western riding will suddenly step down, forcing a by-election. That’s the usual path back into parliament that we’ve seen in past elections. If that doesn’t happen immediately, it will be telling for his leadership prospects.
They will replace him. He failed badly and no one thinks he can lead anyone but liberals to victory. ;)

Normally I would hope they go back to their socially centrist but financially conservative stance, but I think Carney occupies that space very well.
Bernier and Pollievre I think show the MAGA approach is cooked here, people want substance and policy.

He can always fall back on his paper route career.
He’s got a full pension plus is a landlord. His only loss is the grift and
bribeslobbying he’ll be unable to get.🔮 I forsee at least an attempt at social media influencer. He loves trolling and attention. He already has a platform. He has been double cancelled which is a giant boost. (And unlike many claims to have been canceled, this one is true, at least in one domain.)
