I could get behind Mike if he keeps certain faction under lock and key within the party.

Id vote CPC again with him at the helm
If they brought a serious and mature policy platform with him or someone like him as leader, I would very seriously consider doing so as well. Had they done so under the former PM it would have been an absolute no brainer.

I’d need him to come out and say that he’s not going to change or alter the sub purchase from what it’s current direction is, same with the River class, 15 of them going forward. 100% commitment in the NATO 5% policy, expansion of the CAF numbers and capabilities m, etc etc.

Interesting words from the Governor of the Bank of Canada on the budget.
Canada’s top banker says he’s hopeful the new Liberal budget will encourage business investment and stimulate the economy.
“I think there is a significant change in this budget,” Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem told senators on the Senate Committee on Banking, Commerce and the Economy on Thursday. “The government is very clearly reducing their operating expenditures, putting more of their spending towards investment, and that’s both public investment and efforts to catalyze private investment.”

The sooner they marginalize the influence of the socons, the better. Its been a disaster for the party allowing them to be kingmakers. Harper was smart enough to crush their shit and to govern as a centrist/right-of-centre government. American style social conservatism goes over about as well as a rabies shot to most Canadians.

He should have been done when he lost his riding and the election.
I am hoping he can now see that he needs to step aside for the greater good.
I would love to see Tim Houston take the reigns. I will admit my bias towards him though.

Less typing than “those people.”

That was the dream. With a Carney led LPC minority there was a real opportunity to work with him and influence policy. It would seem that some CPC MP's are not happy with the decision to reject that opportunity in order to dive right back into pure adversarial opposition.

A bit of good news.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the .6% lowering of youth unemployment for October is directly related to the massive cut backs in September to the number of foreign students being allowed to enter Canada. This drastic (much needed, with still even more needed) drop in foreign students gave an opportunity for the youth of Canada to be able to get access to more job openings from Canadian firms.
The Employment rate went up, which is much much needed. It needs to be back over 62.1-62.6%
Unemployment rate: 6.9 per cent (7.1)
Employment rate: 60.8 per cent (60.6)
Participation rate: 65.3 per cent (65.2)
Number unemployed: 1,557,300 (1,606,500)
Number working: 21,081,900 (21,015,300)
Youth (15-24 years) unemployment rate: 14.1 per cent (14.7)
Men (25 plus) unemployment rate: 5.9 per cent (6.1)
Women (25 plus) unemployment rate: 5.5 per cent (5.6)

Economy also added 67,000 jobs, beating economist expectations
The youth unemployment rate, meanwhile, fell for the first time since February as young people aged 15 to 24 gained jobs, Statistics Canada said. That rate has been on an upward trend for the better part of the last two and a half yearsUnemployment rate: 6.9 per cent (7.1)

Looks we're trending in the right direction after the initial shock of the American trade madness. Cautiously optimistic but we'll have to wait and see until the New Year though to get a good picture of what is actually going on.
