The way the entire Liberal party basically didn’t respond to the smear campaign against them
I interpreted that as partly “I’m not dignifying that with a response” and partly avoiding falling into a Gish gallop trap.

Clearly most of those weren’t “core supporters” and more “I don’t like the other guy”.
When offered a better option, they bailed rapidly.

Doug Ford putting up ads and showing up on US TV, explaining what we’re doing to them with our counter tariffs.
As long as he also says why we’re pissed off and reminds them that we didn’t start this fight.
Which he has been doing so far in the interviews I have seen.
