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.

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....
