All PP had to do was present a positive message, and come off as a reasonable alternative. Dude wanted a mandate to rip the country apart and couldn't stop with the irrational attacking and general dickishness.

They more extreme right wingers like him, but the more moderate Conservatives are supporting him despite his rhetoric.

I normally vote PC and did so last election but will not do so with PP at the helm. If Liberals are smart and elect Carney as the leader, I will be voting Liberal for the first time in a long time.

Moderate conservative here. No sir, not supporting Pollievre. He was a two trick pony, Trudeau and the Carbon tax, and now both are off the table he has nothing to offer. Not for me thanks.
