An additional possible factor is that the progressives in their quest to make things better, have made the mistake of alienating people, making them defensive, shaming, finger pointing etc. the very things that have moved some toward Poilievre . Rather than demanding changed street names and smashing statues, they should have spent more energy on demanding of their politicians that they adopt William White's thinking.
