You hit the nail on the head again……. In defence of the CPC’s I would like to say that the conservatives did a great job of being the loyal opposition. They got rid of Justin, they aced the tax, they brought down the government, forced an election and made the governing Liberal party listen up look at itself and change. All for the good of Canada…Good job….. NOW, if the situation was reversed the Conservatives would not have listened and changed for spite and more so if PP had been in charge, SO … the best for all of Canada is to keep the CPC party in eternal opposition until they at least get rid of ‘the boy’ and get a man.
There will be no change in this old version of the Conservative Party (reform party and whatever all it was they did), looking for a few years of stability and sanity in the next years of my life. Thank you Mark Carney. I know you can get the job done🇨🇦✅👍
Agreed! To your point, I am very careful to not make predictions about the next election in the days or weeks following the most recent election - a temptation that so many columnists and journalists in media cannot resist. These often hyper-confident and wide-ranging predictions never hold up. They just never pan out. 4 years, or even just 2 years, down the road the situation is always very different, due to a mix of both domestic and international factors - and nearly impossible to predict. Who knows how Carney will do, or how PP will do, or what the next NDP Leader will do, or what influence foreign political factors (Trump, Vance, Rubio, Putin, or otherwise) will hold, or if certain cohorts that voted CPC or LPC or left the NDP will stay put. Just because some cohorts voted for, or left, a party this time, doesn't mean the same will happen next time.
I have a hard time seeing any change on the horizon for the CPC while Poilievre is the leader of the party. He could not or would not pivot when the election question changed. Why would he pivot now, especially once he has been installed in the safest riding possible for the CPC. He is not going to change the approach, as the abrasive approach is what defines him as a politician.
Poilievre and team are going to try again the exact same approach, and they will hope that this time around the NDP voters will come home to NDP. They only need a few vote splits to get the majority that they crave. The most influential factor for CPC electoral success will be the new leader of the federal NDP. The rest does not matter that much.
I think you're overlooking the Carney factor. If he even moderately succeeds in his ambitious plans for this country, some less ideological CPC voters may well go Liberal. And, in order to become relevant again, the NDP needs much more than a change of leader -- it needs a total overhaul. The party has been top-down for far too long, a big reason it has been bleeding support for years.

I like to call the Conservative Party of the last few decades The ReformaConAlliance.
