Meanwhile, in 2021 the Liberals won 160 to the Conservatives 119.
I smell a Conservative win in the next election. Five terms is a lot to ask for one party and Trump won't be front and center. All those lefty voters who went for a centrist like Carney are inevitably going to get annoyed with him and the Conservative base is still strong. Ford just won reelection easily as premier of Ontario.

The federal Conservatives are in such a bind because if they moderate too much the conservative voters in the prairie provinces already demonstrated they will basically secede from the federal party.
Ironic, considering Mr Ford was simply acting in the traditional manner of Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leadership. The PC Party of Ontario has traditionally been of the "red Tory" manner. The question is will he face attempts to be ousted by his own intraprovince political enemies?

If PP had run on an anti-Trump platform the way Ford did in Ontario, he'd be prime minister.

Normally, the Liberals have the same problem. Under the right circumstances, the Conservatives could win even with dissatisfaction from the far right.
Yeah, Alberta's premier is very open to teasing secession even after getting checked by Ford.
The knives are already out for Ford.

I mean, Ford made this decision publicly before the election, I'm sure he was anticipating this kind of fallout.
That seems like the stupid approach. I'm sure the Liberals are happy about that.
He just won another Tory government in Ontario. Are they jealous his ability to defy gravity isn't rubbing off?

He did but the people simply didn't buy it.
Of course they didn't buy it. He had a reputation of being to the right of Stephen Harper.
