Erin O'toole ran as a red tory in 2017, then he marketed himself as a blue tory in 2020 to soak up all the 2nd ballot votes from Lewis/Sloan voters. It was always clear O'toole was an establishment crony. The media marketed this race as between Mackay and O'toole because the establishment controls both of them. Mackay was their 1st plan probably, O'toole was their backup plan. Voters foolishly threw O'toole some votes in hopes to stop Mackay. Either way the globalists got their controlled opposition guy in there anyways. O'toole will now continue to bring the CPC in line with the globalists' acceptable version of the overton window, thus purging anti-globalist politicians from the CPC. He's done his job, out goes Sloan, demotes Pierre, trashes Trump. He will then lead the CPC into a loss, probably another minority government for Trudeau, and thus O'toole is extended on as leader because 'he didn't have as much time as Scheer did to get recognized by the public' and 'hey he stopped a Trudeau majority'. Worst case scenario for the globalists is O'toole upsets Trudeau and becomes PM in a minority government and still pushes the elitist agenda albeit in a less in your face type of way that Trudeau did.
