The only upside that I can see is that Canadians will have a year to see what a trump style government can do to a country… Also a trump style government is the same as a poilievre government.

While the party make-up and views were pretty similar, Harper ruled the party with a pretty firm hand. Even though many of the religious-right wanted socially conservative policies, he generally didn’t let them question things like abortion. I’m not sure Poilievre has the same control over the party.
Considering he’s in power purely as a result of catering to the whackjob right that thought O’Toole was too sane, I would not put faith in his ability to keep the whackjobs under control.
It’s the old “What’s the problem with riding a tiger? You can’t get off without getting eaten.” problem that comes from courting populism.
It’s a good question. He was quick to seize power from O’Toole after the Ottawa occupation, which kinda makes me think he’d be quick to discipline anyone who goes off message, but it’s a different scenario.
