What Erin O’Toole and the federal Conservatives need is a platform like Mike Harris’ 1995 Common Sense Revolution in Ontario. Solid, sensible, small-c conservative policies presented in a way that is clear to voters.
What they don’t need is O’Toole pandering to elite consensus on issues such as climate change, then trying to force his party to go along because the CBC and Toronto Star say that’s the path to victory.
But that’s exactly the path they’ve chosen.
