He spent the whole time running away from every policy his party has had over the last 10 years and fearmongering about the Americans. NOTHING about the everyday cost of living, crime or immigration, just a whole lot of "elbows up" nonsense. 30 minutes of acting like the 51st state thing is a clear and present danger. He painted his plagiarised policies as "pragmatism" and said Pierre wanted to "divide and be conuered." Also, he said he wants Canada to be an "energy superpower" but he won't repeal C-69 or lift emission caps. All of this is, of course, absurd and absurdly dishonest, but it works. It's good politics right now, and some folks are falling for it, hook, line, and sinker. The elbows-up, "Orange menace wants to invade us" stuff works on boomers and low-information voters, and that's all you need to win.
