This all but confirms he's running for the leadership. He did well, although this was very much a softball interview. I still don't think any Liberal leader will be able to manage better than a slim Conservative minority, though.
Oh I think they pretty easily can. The Conservatives have a long record of shooting themselves in the foot, and they've put all their hatred into a cult of personality, and now that personality is gone. The Fuck Trudeau and pretty boy mantras are going to ring pretty hollow against Carney.
Plus, PP is one of the weakest and most snivelling career politicians this country has ever seen, and people recognize that. The left vote in this country is still relatively strong, it just takes swinging a couple Conservative, Bloc, and NDP projected seats to remain in power.

He's a career attack dog. But when people are angry at the sitting government, all a ln opposite leader has to do is reflect that anger to get votes and he does that.
I agree that in principle he he can be defeated, but at this point it's a steep uphill battle and doing so would constitute a major political upset.

If Carney becomes leader, I expect they'll pivot to WEF/Illuminati nonsense.
Whether that will work is another matter entirely.
Never forget:
If the Fed Libs want my vote back, they'll have to make good on their promise of electoral reform with the help of the NDP or Bloc before a confidence vote.
That would be nice, but quite frankly, for my vote, they just have to be more competent seeming than Pierre or Singh.
At the end of the day, on election day, you don't get to choose the policies that people are running on, you just get to choose who you want most to lead of the available options (unless you decide to run for office, then you get to choose what policies you want to run on and see if people agree).
The Liberals will never, ever do it. It would be probably impossible to do before October, and frankly, unhinged to try to get it done before then, even if only from a logistical standpoint.
The fact that JT spent a decade not doing it, is forever a black mark on the Liberal party, imo. And in choosing to not do it, in effect, the Liberals salted the earth on the topic of electoral reform. Anyone who promises it now is going to get laughed out of the room.
Electoral reform is a symbol of the Liberal carrot and stick politics of the past decade.
It's an uphill battle with all the media consolidation, but the support from Musk, and MAGA-annex has a chance to backfire on the Conservatives and Mr. 'Pension at 31 for me, 70 for everyone else'.
We have to push hard highlighting the fact that Musk/Trump are trying to take over Canadian Democracy through "economic force", and that the Conservative leadership are welcoming this with open arms, such as Smith's visit to Mar-a-Lago.
