The problem facing the Conservatives is as obvious as it is intractable — unless real change is made. The form of neoconservativism ushered in by Stephen Harper has morphed into angry authoritarianism under Pierre Poilievre. It will not sell in Canada and the electoral record proves it.

Honestly, I think they could run literally anybody and they'll eventually win government. Canadians will only allow the Liberals to win so many times before deciding it's someone else's turn.

They need to do better than PP.
Both Harper and Mulroney are Bronze Adonisis by comparison.

Careful though, Stephen Harper is tied up in a bunch of global white supremacy R&D

But he plays keys in rock-ish ensembles - he almost looks chill!
Not Carney finger-signing chill, though.

Were Andrew Sheer or Erin O'Toole any better? I haven't seen anyone I'd be comfortable being prime minister from the Conservatives for a long time.

No, they weren't.
Which is the big issue. As the GP alluded, Canadians get 'tired' of the same old Liberal gov't in an 8-10 year span, and plug our noses and vote whatever iteration of 'Tory' is most tolerable: fiscal responsibility (supposedly) and all that. But then they defund rehab and social programs, and throw weed smokers in jail....
I voted for Clark way back bc he platformed tax relief/credit on home mortgage interest! Sadly, his gov't spun out in mere months.

tmi, I digress....
