I think that a lot of it is lies and manipulation. Doug Ford in Ontario ran a campaign to paint Kathleen Wynne as corrupt and wasteful. The ignorami become convinced that it's true and vote Conservative. Then Doug Ford's own auditor publishes a report that says that while Wynne did increase provincial government spending the vast majority of that spending was on programs that benefited the people of Ontario. Then, Doug Ford cuts programs and gives money to a lacrosse club and horse racing tracks.

Jason Kenney ran a ghost candidate to split the vote so that he could win the leadership campaign in Alberta. Conservatives the world over understand that they are in the last days of their power. The world has moved beyond their ignorant and backward ideas and the only way that they can hold on top power is to lie and cheat. In the US we see the death throws of the Republican party where they only way they can stay in power over the next few years is to throw out the US Constitution and establish a christofascist autocracy.
