Unable to make any headway in the polls against the Liberals, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole could use a little help from his friends Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford. It might be no coincidence that O'Toole is having difficulty in these provinces as Kenney and Ford slide in the polls. It's also possible that the attacks by Kenney, Ford and O'Toole on the federal government's vaccine procurement efforts will backfire when Canadians find themselves getting their second doses ahead of schedule later this summer. Any polling improvements for Ford and Kenney could start rubbing off on O'Toole. He can't blame Kenney or Ford for all of his troubles — but they aren't making things any easier for him.
