      The polls are pretty consistent on Canadian election: we're looking at basically a reprise of 2019, with Liberals doing a little worse and NDP doing a little better. A wash.https://twitter.com/CanadianPolling/status/1438330963231117317 …

      My question is what the Liberals do with Trudeau after the election. He rolled the dice and came up short. Will they move on to another leader?

          Probably no. Hard to dethrone royalty. But if yes it's Chrystia Freeland or Mark Carney. Actually not a bad bench for a semi-centrist neoliberal party.

          I highly doubt Freeland has enough electability to win as party leader. As for Carney, I've been calling him Ignatieff 2.0 for a while, but as the Liberal Party organizers don't exactly consult with me for my opinions I guess they'll just have to learn the hard way - as always.

          Only if they thought dropping Trudeau would help them do better in the following election, and I doubt they'll be thinking that.

          They'd need to have enough humility to realize that his sunny ways have just been eclipsed. Which means that no, it won't happen. Instead they'll just blame the NDP for this election happening, even though Singh was taking to the newspapers to tell them not to hold one.

          Freeland has showed herself as the traditional liberal successor. Also she’s competent; and as such the early Twitter mistake seemed forced by the PMO.

          I think the original scenario was Trudeau wins a majority then passes it on to Freedland. Didn’t work out that way. I get the feeling that if he got a majority in 2019 and covid hadn’t happened, he’d be gone by now of his own accord. He’s tired of it all, but he’s a good soldier.

          LOL uh, no. Even if he outright lost to a CPC majority he'd be at risk of staying on. The 'golden child' perspective of Trudeau is still quite strong in the LPC.

          If they aren't they should be. The dull normal choices from the Trinity College/Corner Office wing of the party are Carney, Freeland and (reprising John Turner) Morneau. There being no other wing that's, uh, it.
