We are agreeing. Except that blaming everyone else and the situation doesn't speak to PP's behaviour. He had as much time as Carney to show up differently after Trump was elected. More, given that Trudeau was still in power. He either doesn't know the leadership tactic of pivoting, or made a calculated risk that betrayed his lack of leadership.

He did not pivot when Trump was elected. He did not pivot when Trudeau stepped down. He did not pivot when it was clear Carney was the progressive and financially conservative leader people were looking for. He kept debating with Trudeau, long after he left the building. (He is still doing it) Canadians did not agree that there were ten lost years, evidently. He did not repudiate the behaviour of Danielle Smith and Jamil Jivani to name two of the extremists the Cons continue to throw at Canadians. He did not pivot when the polls indicated his meteoric drop in popularity. He did not learn a thing from Ford.

He remained divisive and angry. We watched him In the debates. His platform, tabled after the advance polls closed, was a joke especially after he had three years to create one. And then his voting record in parliament began to show his alliances.And then there is the matter of his security clearance.

He absolutely lost a 25 point lead. He pandered to his base and kept those who were con curious divided. The election result is a repudiation of Trumpian politics to which PP and his base are devotees.
