This is pretty much it for me. It is less about choosing a vision for Ontario and more about choosing who will do the least damage.
Had the PCs run a centrist campaign with a relatively bland candidate (Christine Elliot, anyone?) they would have inherited Ontario.
I'm not sure if the leadership doesn't get it, or maybe the hard right wing of the party hijacks the nomination and we get these candidates who sabotage themselves by going too extreme (Tim Hudak, anyone?) or that look to be a disaster already (see: Doug Ford party nomination controversy).
Ontarians are centre to centre-left. The path to victory for the PC party lies in the huge gap in the middle of the spectrum.
