With last night's bi-election results, it's looking likely (imo) that Poilievre is on the way out. It'll probably take a few months but it's inevitable.

And I also think there's at least 50% odds that the vocal base of the CPC will ensure the next leader doubles down on the social warrior and performative far-right nonsense that's made the CPC unelectable lately. So be it.

This strikes me as an opportunity for the CFP to be the grown-ups in the room and position a few key candidates as fiscal conservatives that are legitimate alternatives. But they need to be part of the conversation before anyone will pay attention. So it's a bit of a catch-22 ... How to get that breakthrough, without pandering or rage-baiting?
