The reported 14-point Conservative lead means nothing to Trudeau’s grip on the party.
No one is going to push him.
He’s all the party has.
He goes, and the party could be looking at sub-20 polling numbers.
Singh, well that’s a different story.
Behind closed doors, is the NDP caucus still gung-ho on the guy?
Now would be a good time to replace him.
Brian Masse, Rachel Blaney and Alexandre Boulerice, all strong MPs to replace him.
If Singh goes, I bet NDP polling numbers would surpass the Liberals.
100% dead wrong. If Justin announces his resignation they’d be tied with the Conservatives the week after and possibly even a Liberal lead. They still have a very good brand but the Leader is pulling the ship down.
Ronald, my test is whether or not he is an offensive condescending lecturing woke type with no real world experience. And he passes that test easily. Does anyone else? At least he wouldn’t trigger me every time he opens his mouth. Sure, it’s a low bar to get over but there is that.

No, I don’t think voters will embrace either of those two. What I’m getting at is resigning now will release the pressure. There won’t be a new leader for a while and I suspect the poll numbers will return to about 35-30 shortly after the contest starts.
My top choices would be McKenna or Champagne. Another interesting option might be Nate Erskine Smith but he is tied up in the Ontario Leadership at the moment.
McKenna? Really? I thought he never got back from taking that Martian political strategy spaceship. Sort of like Manley and the rest of the old timers. Of course, Rae’s likely still keen
LOL.

for RO’D below… Catherine, not Frank. Yes some people are mad at her, but I think it’s mostly just political people / natural conservatives who are mad at her. I think Liberals and middle of the road / Joe and Jane front porch types would be fine with her.

Thanks for showing me I’m ancient. Interesting choice. She has put some distance between herself and Mr. Wonderful and his team and she’s spoken out on policy. Yup, her candidacy might go somewhere among Liberals.

I would go with JWR but most Trudeau suckups and apologists consider her a traitor, which is a mistake. She’s a real leader and not just in the making.

Agreed. You’re on target. The NDP would do well to ditch Singh pronto but you see they’re insane: rather than becoming the alternative to a CPC government, those bozos prefer to keep propping HimselfTM up in power just to keep the CPC out of office. Sheer insanity but this IS the NDP we’re talking about, after all…
Colour me dark skeptical. I don’t know about Abacus but doesn’t Angus Reid tend to over-represent CPC numbers in certain polling cycles? So, that in and of itself is a reason to show pause.

Martin,
Come on. Plot this guy’s cabinet trajectory: a lot more left to right and right to left than from down to up and still up again.

Martin,
We’re not really at 40% but we’re a lot higher than I thought yesterday.
