First, Scheer did not run against Trudeau in the last election Stephan Harper did.
Second, the PPC is a right wing party, much more right wing than the PC's, the Liberals are left-wing (arguably centerist in today's society) with the NDP being further left.
Like this:
NDP-Liberal-PC-PPC
Very rarely do voters jump more than 1 step away from where they traditionally vote, most Liberal voters are going to vote PC if they vote more conservative as it is one jump away, PPC is 2 jumps away. PPC will only take votes away from the PC's.
Third, I'm not sure what strong message everyone thinks the PC's need to present? Balance the budget, stop spending money on useless stuff, stop trying to ram useless gun laws down our throats, allow pipelines to be built in a reasonable timeline, stop introducing taxes on the working class?
I get that you like the PPC, and they have some good ideas in their platform. The fact is they will never form government in this election, so I along with many others on this forum will choose to use our votes for a better purpose, voting PC in a hope to get rid of Trudeau.

Fuk off dick... lol just kidding.
Serious though, I get why people are apprehensive even though they like what the PPC have to say. Playing the safe card is rarely a bad choice. Then again I could ask the question of what’s safer... voting for someone that will get the Libs out and tweak everything back the way conservatives do, or vote for someone that will get the Libs out and completely reform our country into more prosperity then we have... potentially ever have had?
Also I wouldn’t call the PPC “conservative” or “right”. They don’t preach a way of life. They let individuals be who they want to be. All they care about is balancing the budget, creating financial opportunities for everyone, freeing Canada from unreasonable laws(whether self inflicted or global pressure) and making sure Canada remains Canada. Not Islam or Rome or the US.
A big problem with right and left politics is usually imposing their way of life on millions of INDIVIDUALS. The PPC are not endorsing any religion. They are not cutting useful social programs like conservatives usually do(meanwhile still perpetuating corpo welfare). They are not increasing and implementing taxes like lefts do(only to pocket it or give it away to people that DON’T need it). They are as close to what a realistic government should be. At the end of that day the People’s Party of Canada is for the people. No country is prosperous long term if the people aren’t successful.
i'm likely wrong, but i wonder if the Atlantic vote will set the tone for the election? Atlantic provinces are generally liberal minded.
The 2 most recent elections in the Maritimes (NB & PEI) went PC. They could be having a change if tides also.
was that provincial?
