What would Christy Clark do about the remaining Trudeau Cult members in the Federal Liberal Party that don’t get turfed by the Canadian Electorate? How does she ditch them to try to drag that party back from the far left fringe of the spectrum?

Last time liberals got turfed they gave us Stephan Dionne and his dog Kyoto . Followed by Ignatieff. Trudeau brought the party back from third place to win . After two or three terms in the wilderness they will find someone acceptable to Canadians .
Yes, but currently the Federal Liberal Party is at least (if not more so) far left than the NDP. There are still Liberal voters, who would vote for a Liberal Party if it moved way closer to the political center of the spectrum…but it’s not.
At best, if Clark walked away from Ontario provincial politics, she would lead a party that ‘might’ (but probably not) become the official opposition at best. Odds are she wouldn’t beat Doug Ford provincially either, but would she be wise to stay in provincial politics for at least another four years to distance herself further from the current federal liberals (?), & then come along in let’s say 2029 to take a stab at federal politics?
(This way she could avoid the ‘stank’ of immediately following Trudeau in the same role, & let that chair “air out” for a term)
How would someone like Christy Clark (or someone else) bring the Liberal Party back towards the the general neighbourhood of the political center?
Clark is from BC.
Bonnie Crombie is the person you are thinking of. Also a reasonable choice but she has not yet fought 1 election vs Ford so is completely untested in anything but Mayoral politics.
My bad & thank you!! I did have those two crossed.
Would Quebec (not that their vote is entirely needed, but it helps considerably) accept a Liberal leader not from Quebec (or very very close to it)?
No person named "Bonnie" should be elected to any position above Chair of the Prom Committee.
By their own rules, the Liberals should be looking for someone outside Quebec or at least English.
My French is extremely limited, but considering how many female cabinet Ministers turdOWE has thrown under the bus, I am going with La bus.
Christie was reasonably right of center when she was BC Premier. When I first met her, back in the late 90's, and GOrd Campbell was running the BC Liberals, we had her pegged to replace Gordo when he retired. And she did well, even though she was stabbed in the back numerous times by Falcon and his gang. Most of them are old time federal liberals.
That will probably still be too expensive for the liberal party after the next election.
SOrt of. There are a lot of federal liberals in the BC Liberal party. Pretty much a big tent for fiscal conservatives and anyone not a raving socialist, They managed to destroy the party just before the last election. Christy's ex, whose last name I can't remember atm, was a federal liberal organizer.
Many of the old SoCreds were federal Liberals. I wasn't much involved with the SoCreds, so I never met her until after the BC Liberals got going. At that time, both liberals and conservatives were pretty much extinct in BC. SoCred was big tent center right before Vanderscam fuxkked it up. Noe we have a COnservative party that is part fiscal conservative and part wackaloons that want to play ball from behind the bleachers. ANd the wackaloons are playing on several different teams.
So, much as I dislike Eby and his rich socialist fiends, it is probably better all round that the conservatives are not governing until the aliens pick up their experiments.
