There's a non-zero chance the CPC splits too. There's major infighting, with even Jason Kenney somehow being the voice of reason versus the MAGA wing of the party. https://xcancel.com/jkenney/status/1918107158035451945

Ford goes national, party factions hard, reverse Reform Party lol, reconciles under Ford, Canada gets its Trump years, not months, after the US swings right as is tradition.

Sigh. I hate this. We are so fucked and climate and H5N1 aren’t on fucking pause.

reconciles under Ford

Ford is one of the personae most non grata among the Maple MAGA crowd, so that's (thankfully) a hard no. A more likely scenario I think is a split back into Reform and PC, with PCs peeling off a lot of Bloc support in QC as well as CPC support in ON and Atlantic and becoming viable that way.

Why don’t they like him? He seems repugnant enough to me that he should be a shoe in for MAGA types.

He isn't socially conservative, and he gets along well with Liberals (Chrystia Freeland is a close friend, for example)

That’s kinda how Trump was too though.

That's a very good point. Would Dougie go far-right if it suits him? Maybe.
