It would have been easy though with Erin O'Toole since he saw the writing on the wall and realised that the Conservatives needed to shift more to the centre. Much of the party wasn't ready for that though and thus after his loss he was replaced with Poilievre who was appealing to the more far right portion of the party.

tbf, the last like 10 years the conservative playbook has been "every time you stub your toe its Trudeau's fault" and O'Toole would only be able to do so much to limit that.

I do agree O'Toole would probably have kept it laid back enough that he'd probably be able to at least steer the party back onto something after Trudeau stepped down.
