Broadly electable does mean something. Who cares if more Westerners hate JT so much and juices the parties popular vote.
Harper was able to win in Quebec and Ontario. Scheer and O'Toole were not.
You’re definition of “winning Quebec” is rather odd.
The Cons (Harper) won 5 seats in Quebec when they last got a majority government.
You should take more of a dive into the numbers…. I love numbers…. They don’t lie. My takeaway is that the NDP did so well that they siphoned away Liberal seats allowing the Cons (Harper) to win a majority of seats due to the vote splitting.
I don’t think you can look at that election and come away with the conclusion that it was because Harper was “broadly electable”.
