How so? He was a Liberal MP.Another casualty of Poilievres leadership.
Liberal MP Shaun Chen stepping down amid health issues, source says
With several byelections already pending, Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to call another after Liberal MP Shaun Chen announces his resignation, according to a Liberal source.www.ctvnews.ca
and give the press 3 years to tear apart another pc leader. Better to wait another 2 years and let them expend their bile where it can't hurt.The fact that we agree makes me feel so gross.
With the exception of O'Toole, it has been well deserved. The Party keeps choosing unelectable ass-clowns as leader. I fervently want the CPC to do well....once they get serious about their leadership - on that day, they likely get my vote.
That's the joke
Because Carney doesn't have to wait 3yrs. He could wait to Oct of 2027 IF CUSMA is resigned and the economy is doing well, as an example. A number of seats could become vacant and he drops below a majority by 2-3 seats and he rolls the dice.
Ignoring personalities, giving a leader two election cycles is a reasonable ask; there's a learning curve. Constant leadership churn makes strategic direction difficult. Scheer and O'Toole both being one and done suggests that the CPC learned nothing from the LPC implosions and churn that helped keep Harper as PM.
Hurry up and pick a new leader and give the LPC up to 3 years time worth of distraction and character assassination against the off chance the LPC calls an election sooner? I would think Canadians wouldn't appreciate Carney playing election games - that same gamble didn't work out for Trudeau's dirtbag covid election attempt.
And Doug Ford’s mid-term majority refresh to a full-term mandate was a different political space (greater electoral homogeneity within Ontario than all across Canada).
However on the flip side, lets say we get another federal election and Pierre loses again. Do you keep him on still or toss him? Internally he seems to be doing well but if they decided to keeo him after another election loss. I dont know if the party could recover
Or with Harper during this time period. But it did work out for Ford. That's why I said 'roll the dice' because its a gamble.
Based on my model (
) he'd have had his second chance, so it would be time to go looking for another.
I think he's lose a lot of the current votes he had if he decided to make himself look like her - maybe get his teeth rearranged (I'm sure someone would be willing to punch him in the mouth a few times) but gender reassignment surgery would definitely upset the (alleged) Christian right wing and anti-LGBTQ2i folks that are taking over things...
i mean the numbers keep getting lower and lower, polls are now putting the CPC in less than 60 seats. There is a common theme in all the different polls. The CPC is getting wiped out in the Urban centers, even in the west. This suggests the CPC is out of touch with urban voters and actively losing them hand over fist.
Why would anyone cast a vote for a party afraid to fight?
On the other hand, a party could select a lightweight with no chance of success (who's even mocked by John Oliver)
Even I think this map is disgusting.
