Do you think he’s the person (& his recycled team of Liberals) to lead Canada politically through this next several years, or do you think he would get eaten alive, & in turn Canada also in the political arena?
Liberals bring out the Knives

Sounds to me like Carney is Trump's second choice after Gretzky turned him down.
Or anointed, then declare a state of emergency over Trump tariffs or the threat there of, keep Parliament prorogued, and be the unelected PM of Canada until October-ish of 2026 without oversight.
Ain't gonna happen. Doing any of that means guaranteed unemployment 8 months from now.
Well…good question. There seems to be two sets of rules. Depends which set of rules somebody is falling.
Are you sure about that? Based on the Liberals rising numbers in the polls sounds like there's plenty of morons out there who would have no problem having their rights suspended just to "get back at Trump".
Do you think this is more than a blip on the statistical graph, due in part to:
1) Trudeau, sort of resigning, but not really, announcing his intention to resign eventually after a series of liberal events happen?
2) Just the potential for somebody different to run the liberal party… who, as of yet hasn’t had to face any type of real criticism or questions, or answerability outside of scripted scenarios?
3) Trudeau Proroguing parliament and removing the opposition for all intents and purposes from being able to question the government’s actions publicly?
4) The liberals have had their last couple months in the spotlight with everybody else federally in Canada muzzled, & they’ve done their dog and pony show leading up to their “debates” for their own ‘Liberal Leadership’ coronation?
5) Trudeau still out in the spotlight throwing around tax dollars and flying around like he still something beyond a “Lame Duck” as a surrogate showing that the liberals are doing something…while the opposition can do nothing do the prorogation?
Add these above factors together, & it equals a temporary uptick in polling numbers for the Libs…but how long do you think it’s gonna last?
I believe this will last until the current crop of liberals have to actually face the public (not just the liberal public insiders) and answer real questions (not just the softballs leading up to their “leadership” goat rodeo).
If a single month of Parliament sitting was allowed to happen, the liberals would nosedive. If Carney (directly or through his MP’s) had to actually answer questions from the opposition, or even a slightly unbiassed media, the liberals would nosedive.
The weekly Canada338 Federal Aggregate (a mix of all the polling companies to get an average & try to remove bias from a single company) numbers usually come out about midday each Sunday. I’m curious to see what they’re gonna look like.

Until those numbers come out tomorrow, midday, here’s kind of an interesting yet blurry graph. It factors out most of Canada, including Quebec….& just leaves in the traditional liberal strongholds of BC, ON, & the maritime provinces lumped together.
Does this match the media hype? This is removing AB, SK, MB, & the Territory’s from the equation. Does it look like a guarantee for the Libs (?) or the media running with the recent uptick for them?
Yes, there has been an untick in polling numbers for the Libs for the reasons (in my opinion) listed above in post#593, & those are all temporary situations engineered by Trudeau/Telford that’ll work simultaneously once…until Carney has to interact without a script with media, parliament, etc…& present an actual platform without vagaries, etc…

Even looking at the bottom graph, you know what that tells me? There's a scary number of idiots in this country willing to forgo their rights because of tariffs.
You know what it also tells me? Only in the prairie provinces do the Conservatives have higher numbers than the LibDips combined.
While the Conservatives are still likely to score a majority govt, if it's not a supermajority then we could see another LibDip coalition, obstructing the Conservatives in the House and blocking bills this time.
Ya know, assuming Carney will allow an election.
Don't worry. There will be six to eight weeks of reminders oozing out of every retard and sane media orifice starting anytime now.
And if Western Canada had any regional representation in the form of an independent party the majority would be less yet. There are easily 50 seats in the west that would vote for that.
Carney will be the guy to delay the election until those members in need qualify for the pension.
