Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

I don't believe giving the LPC that kind of majority will be good for Canada, but I'm also battered and bruised from the last decade so my bias is admitted.

He should have stepped down a year ago. I simply cannot comprehend the level of hubris one needs to hang on, now. He has to see he is the problem.

While it would be tough to blame Carney for calling one given current polling, so far we’ve yet to see signals than an election is in the cards.the calling of the three byelections reinforces that.

I imagine all of the purely political types in his orbit are having aneurysms trying to convince him to do it.

To give him credit, I think he is a doer in a world of announcers. And I think he thinks he can negotiate with anyone and elections are distractions.

Hes probably good leader, he just picked a shity party to run for, IMHO.

why try and eat the whole cake when one slice is enough? if they just gotta win the by elections to get a majority, thats easier to focus resources then a national campaign.

A zero to one seat margin isnMt a great position… A buffer of ten or twelve seats would probably feel better to him. But- as @Halifax Tar says, and I agree, I think he’s more focused on getting things done.

That said I wouldn’t rule one out in the summer/fall timeframe, pre-budget.

IMHO the American mid terms may play heavier. He needs Trump to be a boogey man.

Unless the dems get full control of both chambers Trump is here to stay, he may be the boogieman, but Carney isnt playing that card, he seems more focused on results, and I think he wants results he could campaign on if he were to call an election.

MOUs dont win elections, getting people high paying jobs, and making their lives better does

Is the highlighted part happening yet ?

Do we have comparably popular podcasts to JRE ?

Just to go back to this, he was recently on Paul Wells’ podcast on Substack. Of course it won’t show up on Apple’s rankings, and I haven’t looked up his rankings on Substack lately, but he has posted impressive numbers in the past.

Agreed. The only reason I think he has to go early to to replace the Trudeau re-treads in caucus for fresh meat. But based on recent actions, he looks like he’s focused on other things other than running an election anytime soon.

If the PCs still existed, he would be a decent Red Tory. I’ll take him as a Blue Grit for the time being. I do, however, look forward to the flotsam and jetsam of Team Sunny Ways being walked off the plank…
