Here’s Ben Woodfinden, who had a senior role in the extraordinarily successful Conservative campaign. Wait a minute — successful? Sure, depending on how you count it.

They won their largest share of the popular vote since Brian Mulroney’s 1988 Progressive Conservatives, the largest vote share since the founding of the current, post-2003 Conservative Party of Canada, and a larger popular-vote share than Stephen Harper or Justin Trudeau ever won in three election victories each, including their majority governments.
