What I meant. Your word is better
Question is, who replaces him.
I have a few on my list that would be good choices in my mind.
James Moore, Rona Ambrose. But I suspect the grassroots of the CPC wont be mature enough to let those two lead.

Just pointing out that gratuitous labels like Comrade etc do nothing to further the discussion.

The problem is it really seems the right flank of the party has control. More centrist PCs have very little sway in the party atm and those are the only tories that can get elected in Canada.

If you think the grassroots are not ‘mature’ enough to let those individuals lead then there is little to no hope for someone as competent as Micheal Chong.
I don’t. Just musing.
Not my goal. Just the conservatives have viable choices. Choices they likely won’t make unfortunately…

I'm hoping that both PPCLI Guy and https://army.ca/forums/members/halifax-tar.6179/ have this out of your systems and the topic can carry on.
Thank you,

Rona is quite busy in post political life, look it up, lots going on. And she has never indicated any interest in coming back.
It wouldn't matter who was in charge of the CPC, the CBC and MSM along with the hard left, will exercise any and all efforts of character assassination on the CPC leader.

Equally, I cant think of anyone who could run for the LPC that I would be happy either.

Cutting a new ROW through two national parks simply for tourism would be quite the engineering, financial and environmental feat.
If they follow the Parkway, they could slow down so passengers could get a distant glimpse of where a glacier used to be.
From Google the tracks are still there or at least a distinguishable roadbed right through to Banff and again from Banff to Lake Louise so that shouldn't really cost a lot unless they try and get fancy with the train sets. You could put a couple of steam locos on the run and cash in on the nostalgia customers as well. And with burning all that coal (or oil) we should be able to witness Guilbeault's head explode for further entertainment

The ROW is there to Banff and Lake Louise ((townsite) - that's the CPKC mainline. I assume the proposal plans to utilize or widen CPKC property. If the Rocky Mountaineer is any indication, it will come at a price; Class 1 railways covet the use of their own property closely and will secure future flexibility.
There has never been rail directly between there and Jasper (i.e. Icefields Parkway/Hwy 93) that I am aware of.
I am guessing that it is the CN mainline through Jasper. Be better to run two trains than try to link those 3 centres.

Like much of leadership politics nowadays, leaders have developed a cult of personality so I think he’s safe.
Obama, Layton, Trudeau, Trump and Poilievre all managed to have personality cults develop around them. Some of them may even have had a hand in creating them.
I even see some blue-haired “elbows up” crowd going on about the month-level 5D chess that Carney is playing to really kill the oil industry and something, something become the dominant world superpower.

Same issues facing the Americans - low herd sizes and rising costs.
Beef prices are soaring. Here’s why America is facing record-low cattle numbers
- The latest available CPI data shows the beef and veal category is up 14.7% while overall food is up 3.1%.
- The start of 2025 saw the lowest cattle numbers in the U.S. since 1951.
- Severe drought over the past few years has discouraged cattle being retained for breeding.
- Tariffs and cattle disease have further exacerbated consumer price increases, though imports are mainly affect the ground beef supply.
“It’s hard as a beef producer to necessarily say that beef prices are too high. I mean, if people are paying $6 for a latte at Starbucks, but then they’re paying $6 for a pound of beef, they’re able to feed a family for a family of three with that pound of beef,” said Taylon Lienemann, co-owner of Linetics Ranch in Princeton, Nebraksa.
The start of 2025 saw the smallest national herd since 1951. The cattle cycle is the natural expansion and contraction of the U.S. cattle herd — which is tied to supply and demand. It typically occurs every eight to 12 years.
“What we’re experiencing now is a sort of a mashup of drought, high demand and low heifer retention, sort of making up this herd size problem that we have today in America,” said Omaha Steaks CEO Nate Rempe. “We have got to build the herd, period.”
