A very important thing to remember this election: The Conservatives had a 30-point lead and were set to gain over 200 seats in a sweeping majority victory and they blew it. They blew it and their leader lost his own seat. The fact we even have a Liberal minority at all is incredible.

So while the Conservative party still has a lot of seats, enough Canadians disliked PP and his campaign enough to erode a 30 point lead. PP says he is staying on as party leader but his party would be incredibly foolish to keep him. His campaign cost them a historical election victory and the dude can't even get elected in his own riding.

But what leader would do better for the party? PP had initially focused on being anti-Trudeau because his party's policies weren't going to win. Then, his party got fucked by being associated with Trump and PP tried to keep Trump out of the election.

PP got beat, but he played his political hand relatively well.

I'll do it. I'm a straight white married man. Business owner with a finance background. I'm also very left wing. I'm the perfect Manchurian candidate.
