Prime Minister Mark Carney has baffled Conservatives. This can be seen in the party’s failure to update a strategy that was targeted towards Justin Trudeau’s obnoxiously progressive tenure in office. Whether they like it or not, Carney is not Trudeau. All this approach has accomplished has been to permit the current prime minister to remain high in the polls by simply being a different person than Trudeau, who had become so broadly unpopular that anyone displaying a modicum of competence would have succeeded with voters.

The bigger risk for Conservatives is to fall for the argument that Carney represents a larger departure from his predecessor than he actually does. He certainly talks like a moderate, but that doesn’t make him one. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn’t exist, and the greatest trick Mark Carney ever pulled was convincing Canadians that he’s right-wing.
