When he talks policies he tanks because people realize he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

I don't think it's even that. Policies his base would support are noxious to everyone else. Having no substance is the main path to power that sidesteps that, and then he can just do what he wants until next election.

That's the modern Conservative Party of Canada. There's a fundamental split you get to see played out every time a new leader is elected. I'm reminded of the vote for the ban on conversion therapy (the Conservatives were the only party that was divided), O'Toole's attempt to address climate change in the CPC policy convention, and of course Joe Clark's admonitions back at the merger of the PCs and the Reform Party.
