Canada: Erin O'Toole's economic populist/working class strategy

[RogueBeaver]

Besides what KaiserDave said, this has been tried before: Henri Bourassa's nationalists were basically a caucus within a caucus before WWI, that unholy alliance imploded and Borden would've been a 1-termer without WWI. Duplessis thought about a grouping of anti-conscription Grits and indie nationalists like Maxime Raymond and Arthur Cardin in 1944, after they nearly cost him a second term provincially and Cardin became terminally ill in early 1945 that door shut. In the late 90s Harper and Flanagan proposed federal conservatives spawn 3 sister parties under a new electoral system. Then there's the fact that neither CAQ nor CPC wants anything like that... Legault has said several times he and his ministers will not endorse any federal party.
