You are kind of right. But as we have seen, Canada has become very polarized and Poilievre is capitalizing on the anger many Canadians have against Trudeau. Poilievre is a repeat of the Reform party. I always said extreme of anything is no good, neither is far-left good and neither is far-right. But currently and this is my own opinion, Poilievre has many faults but the alternative (Trudeau) is madness. Trudeau is the biggest disaster in Canadian history, the way I see it anyone else would be an improvement over Trudeau, even a far-right nut like Poilievre. And I do not think majority of voters will be scared off because Trudeau has one ethics violations after another plus taxes that keep going up. The only province I never see will vote for the Conservatives is Quebec. The rest will including Ontario.I never liked Trudeau. But I also do not like the Conservative alternative: like Trudeau, Poilievre never had a real job. He is just as arrogant as Trudeau and is a demagogue appealing to the right-wing nutbars whom I certainly do not want to see in charge. Trudeau has done his time, but Poilievre is the worst leader the Conservatives could have picked for themselves: he risks scaring off the majority of voters. I could have seen myself voting for the Conservatives, given a less polarizing leader. Yes to freedom of enterprise, reducing taxes and controlling spending. No to right-wing neo-fascist Christian Right nuttery. The Cons are depriving me of a political option and I hate them for it. I guess it’s what Canada is good at: copying bad American ideas…
