LPC leadership race - 2025

[Good2Golf]

Oh, in that sense, yeah. But a budget is still largely projections, so my point stands. They need to go back to the drawing board on the budget methinks.

I don’t think back to the drawing board is necessary, but there should be an incremental contingency in the budget. That’s the responsible way to plan for something that is conditions based, not a done deal yet. If the Governors due to feel significant trade war pain, including several from the swing states that gave 47 his win, provide some behind the doors ‘get stuffed’ feedback, things might actually unfold notable differently than the way many are worst-case predicting. If the budget is hard-wired for full-on trade war vice a conditions-based incrementally phased budget, it will be a real job for Departments to adjust to the fiscal on the bus, off the bus budgeting.

Separately: Joly is going to endorse Carney for LPC leader, and by default, PM.

No surprise there. Trudeau (and Desmarais family) wants the ‘outside’ old white guy as PM, and all the JT faithfuls (fundraisers and loyals) are falling in line…

If I were a Liberal Party member that just put me in the dark horse camp. Carney and Freeland are far to close to JT.

Carney....small hands, smells like cabbage....Sorry I can't resist. Circus folk....

Jamie Sarkonak: It doesn't matter to Mark Carney if Canada survives

As a member of the global elite, he will always be free from the consequences of his political actions

Wooops. I forgot about "Jamie Battiste", who the heck is this guy? Is he a serious contender? Or is he canon fodder in this race?

Someone like Aryar trying to mark a bigger name for themselves to secure their seat in the next election. I doubt they can raise the 350k required let alone spend anything to win. NPCs.

Yeah….$350K buy in. It’s as though the competition is being filtered somehow. lol

Honestly needed to avoid the chaff. The CPC run wasn’t as high but high enough.

 

[Jarnhamar]

I'm curious about that.

Do people like Gould and Arya actually think they have a chance at winning or is this a legal way to pass the LPC $350K checks for whatever reason?

Gould will fundraise. Arya won’t make it.

It’s just a way to fundraise but also to show you actually have the support to make a run.

 

[The Bread Guy]

Yeah….$350K buy in. It’s as though the competition is being filtered somehow. lol

By comparison, Team Blue set the table stakes at $300,000 in 2022 (with $100K of that "a refundable compliance deposit") for a 70+ day run up between "out with the old" and the deadline to announce candidacy.

Heard him say he wants to be first FN PM of Canada. I don't track FN things like I used to but this doesn't strike me as a national-scale name, so maybe he's trying to up his regional profile, too?

 

[ArmyRick]

Arya won’t make it.

Narendra Modi can't spare $350K for his guy in Canada?

Here is a new ad on Mark Carney

Not how it works. PP is already the leader of his party though but I’m sure the money flows there in other ways.

This pisses me off.

These hecklers f#ckin with Chrystia Freeland's campaign launch pisses me off. I don't want to see ANY interference with LPC leadership campaign.

Grrrrrr

I like Gould's boldness.

"Canadian's dont trust the Liberal Party"

"I promise not to go ahead with the carbon tax hikes I voted for a whole bunch of times before."

You had me in the first half, there.

I want this leadership race to be exactly what the Liberals want. I really don't want anyone fucking with it. When the heavyweight championship comes up later this year, I want two undisputed fighters getting into the octagon. In other words, I want the LPC to be absolutely sure they pick the candidate they want.
