It is O'Toole's fault if he can't make an argument for him.
Also the CPC deserves to be challenged from the right, because as we see the overton window of Canadian politics is only shifting to the left side of the spectrum. And it's shifting faster and faster, because we have 4 left leaning or leftist federal parties. A party to the right of the CPC would force the CPC not to abandon their base while chasing LPC voters.
This chasing is why Harper allowed the CAF to march in pride parades for the first time (something you find absolutely disturbing). Do you think O'Toole will fix all these CAF twitter accounts waving the trans pride flag? He himself tweeted about trans pride and how wonderful it is and that they have his support. And it's not only about social issues. Look at his plan to balance the budget, which is that he will balance the budget in 10 years. Do you really think that the CPC will still form the government in 10 years? No, because by then we will have another Liberal government. Balancing the budget in 10 years means never balancing the budget.
This is the problem with the CPC. They can rely that their base will always vote them, because there is no conservative alternative. So they adopt more and more Liberal policies to get LPC voters on their side. Let this go on for another 20 years and Trudeau himself will look like a Conservative.
What you're actually implying here is "If O'Toole can't win over the antivaxxers, QAnon crazies and white nationalists then he deserves to lose".
No, this is what you're implying. Just because there are anti-vaxxers, QAnon retards and white nationalists voting for the PPC, doesn't mean that all that vote for the PPC are such. You sound exactly like Democrats in the US when they talk about Trump voters.
