Cannot be said enough. Trump and Ford are obviously and flagrantly unsuited for democratic leadership. This is independent of any particular person or group’s policy preferences. Honest Conservatives should be saying things like “We need to get rid of Ford and return to Conservative principles”. I don’t think Scheer is in the same “flagrantly unsuited” category, but I have the impression that he has done little to counteract extremism, which if true makes him not a good choice.
By contrast, the worst that can reasonably be said of Trudeau is that he is incompetent and clueless. I’m not necessarily saying that, although the current scandal makes me wonder.
