    I’m not so sure about the “jaws of Victory” bit. I think that Canadians were just fed up with Trudeau, couldn’t bring themselves to vote NDP and ended up polling Conservative. So it wasn’t really support for PP, but unsupport for Trudeau.

    Take Trudeau out of the equation and the Liberals came flooding back to the party.

      I think so too. I think they just wanted a more traditional centrist candidate than Trudeau. Not that he’s anywhere near as left as he’s painted to be.
