This was the Conservatives’ ‘biggest strategic error,’ according to a leading campaign manager

“The biggest strategic error that the Conservatives had going into this election was pounding Justin Trudeau and the Liberals with tens of millions of dollars of advertising,” Teneycke told CTV News during Monday’s election coverage.
Years of attacks had Trudeau polling below 20 per cent by the time he resigned in January, leaving Poilievre without a favoured political punching bag, said Teneycke, who led Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives to three straight majority governments as Premier Doug Ford’s campaign manager.
“If Pierre Poilievre was fighting against Justin Trudeau – you keep everything else the same – we’d be having a Conservative majority tonight,” he added. “We went too hard in the lead-up to the campaign and we got rid of the guy who was going to deliver a victory for us.”
Political observers have also pointed to Poilievre’s initial reluctance to speak out against Trump, early in the U.S. president’s emerging trade war, as a factor in the Conservatives’ poor fortunes.
Teneycke, who
made headlines earlier this month accusing Poilievre’s team of “campaign malpractice,” agreed that was a strategic mistake, but said there were other errors along the way that might haunt the party for years to come.
“I think there’s a question as to whether or not the type of campaign the Conservatives ran was so frightening to NDP voters that they gave up their decades-long voting preference to vote Liberal for a Bay Street banker,” he said.
There was anger and disbelief among many Conservative supporters on election night, as Mark Carney’s Liberals pulled off a historic come-from-behind victory. Here's what went wrong, according to a top strategist.
