Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

This feels more like an Urban / Rural divide rather than East / West

Which is likely far more real than the East/West divide. I imagine a logger from central BC and a logger from northern Quebec, once they got over the language barrier, would quickly find common cause against Vancouver and Montreal.
 
You know what... when you frame it that way, it does look like PP was a very effective leader of the CPC. He did an effective job of highlighting the weaknesses of both Trudeau specifically and of the Trudeau LPC in general. I mean, Trudeau/the LPC were doing it to themselves, but PP acted as a force multiplier. The end result is Trudeau is gone, and Carney is in power and if the pundits are to be believed, Carney has brought in a lot of programs/initiatives that a CPC government would have brought in as well. So, other than not getting to be PM, (and not getting to quash the "assault weapon" OICs), PP effectively "did his job".

I don't know if he was an effective leader of the CPC. I don't think history will look kindly on his hubris and unwillingness to read the room and know when its time to leave. I do think he was effective in that he forced out probably the worst PM in Canadian history. So in reality he was good for Canada. Canada would be much worse off right now if PMJT had stayed in. But for the CPC he will probably be remembered as a force detractor, IMHO.

I think he sees himself something akin to a Mariano Rivera, someone who can come in shut down the opposition and get the win. In reality he was at best a Jeff Nelson or Mike Stanton set up man who was left in the game to long and got blown out in the 9th.
