I will note that, in addition to the failings of the opposition campaigns (and NDP in particular), the PC policies are significantly more centrist than before, reducing the maneuvering room for the Liberals and NDP. This is not the Mike Harris government, to be sure -- nor is it the Trump-lite that many of us feared after Ford was first elected.
I do agree with this...although centrist policies right now are extremely harmful, there are multiple crises going on, and he doesn't really have a plan to fix any of them, other than just ignoring them.
But also, we're going to have to see what he does. He has proposed a ton of spending and no way to pay for it...
