But if Trudeau retires, won’t the CPC implode too? They don’t seem to stand for anything other than “Trudeau bad”.

Well not really, after 10-15 years of Libearls in Office the Conservatives will be back as we vote parties out, not in.

The Liberals have been in power 4.5 years, not the 10-15 you are suggesting.

Conservatives could implode but it depends if the federal liberals put a Wynne type leader after Trudeau who unlike Trudeau is not personally likeable and a monkey could defeat someone that.

The same might have been said of any number of places, until it changed.
Merkel was a paradigm shift in Germany.
The development of women at the the highest levels of politics is comparatively recent in most of the world.
Even when one finds isolated examples from earlier, Golda Meir in Israel, Indira Ghandi in India and Thatcher in the U.K. they were all surrounded by men in their own administrations.
Times are changing; as well they should be.
There are still only 4 developed countries of which I am aware that have gender-equal cabinets, Canada, Sweden, Spain, and France.
(there are 6 others world wide, including Columbia...)
Its worth saying that Christy Clark in BC won re-election as Premier, so Wynne for that matter.
Several other women have won high office without achieving re-election, its true; but its not like plenty of men didn't manage the same.
Canada will catch up sooner than later.

Conservative Party candidate hosts rally with over 50 people in Kelowna
Aug 12, 2020
Kelowna residents are not happy after a Conservative Party leadership candidate hosted a rally in Kelowna, where he appeared to forget about social distancing.
Derek Sloan, a Member of Parliament for Hastings-Lennox and Addington, was in Kelowna on Tuesday. He spoke to a group of well over 50 people, none of whom were wearing masks or standing six feet apart.
Sloan tweeted about the experiencing, thanking residents for their "outpouring of support."
Many were quick to judge Sloan, especially with Kelowna being a hot spot for COVID-19 at the moment. Within the Interior Health region, there has been 391 total cases of the virus, with 161 being linked to a Kelowna cluster that first appeared on June 26.
Sloan's tweet got 199 responses on Twitter, loads of which were negative.
"Came for free snacks, stayed for COVID," wrote one Twitter user.
"The Coronavirus thanks you for your campaign," wrote another.

He is trolling at this point. No way he is a candidate in the next election.

Or he goes off the deep end and pulls a Maxime Bernier type stunt.

By Canadian standards, Kamala Harris could run for the Conservatives: Don Pittis
Even Kamala Harris would be among the best Conservative leaders if she were to run for the Conservatives.

What a bullshit article. I'm tired of the trope of suggesting that American Democrats are conservative by Canadian standards. Joe Biden has spoken about how he supports a carbon tax in the past. Meanwhile, every leading candidate in the CPC leadership race wants to repeal our carbon tax.
