Had to be done. Losing party unity like that, with the Bernier schism, after Harper spent so many years putting it together was a catastrophe. And doing so poorly in suburban Ontario after Doug Ford's huge win a year or so ago was unforgiveable, even moreso when a majority of the provinces have conservative premiers in office right now. Scheer was no where near as bad as a Kim Campbell or Joe Clark in terms of getting his ass kicked but there was no way they could win with him. Even if he really isn't weak the perception that he was is cemented in, and when that happens it's impossible to overcome that image. Onwards, upwards.
I rarely take issue with your posts, Thanos as we appear to be on the same page on most issues. However, I do take issue with your comments about Kim Campbell. IMHO, she never had a chance and was thrown into the fray once it was more than apparent that Mulroney was so hated he would never win another election. Unfortunately, it was Kim who reaped the whirl wind of that hate. Just saying.
