zuglo9: I believe you're wrong. Harper's style was to pander to the base as well as target useful identity constituencies in order to cobble a majority. The base stuck with him while the identity-focused voters fled to the higher bidder for their affections, Trudeau's Libs. Now the Conservatives, sans Harper, appear to be tailoring their approach to appeal to a more mainstream Canadian audience, an audience Trudeau so detests that he denies its existence. So the Conservatives obviously learned something in 2015 while Trudeau thinks the identity game will keep him in power. If I were him I wouldn't count on it.
