      It's only a by election but it looks like the alt-righty People's Party got 11.5% of the vote -- more than half as much as the Conservative Party got (21.6. If this keeps up, there could be an earthquake in Canadian politics.https://twitter.com/cbcnewsbc/status/1100244157027610624 …

      I get the feeling the PPC is going to be a mini-Reform in terms of rallying US-style libertarians but little else. Will probably end up with decent support in the prairies and BC but not be a factor east of Ontario

      @MaximeBernier has way more charisma than @AndrewScheer

      I think you overestimate how much conservatives want a charismatic leader. Harper was in power for ages precisely because he was unremarkable and boring. Maybe no one got super excited for him but at the same time no one got turned off by him and he converted that to wins

      Bernier is a divisive figure because he actually stands for an ideology. At the end of the day that's going to be a cap on his support Sheer is a hollow spineless void that voters can project whatever beliefs they want onto. The more vague he remains the better he'll do

      This is a game of margins. The question is not whether Bernier can win but whether he can shave off enough from CPC to make a difference.

          Obviously Trudeau benefits the most in the short term, but I'm having a tough time trying to figure out what he wants to do in this election. What do you think his long-term strategy is? Reform 2.0 where he slowly builds momentum and eclipses the CPC?
