Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

[Remius]

Perhaps. If the party means his ministers and back benches then I'd agree.

If the party means the Laurentien Elite Cadre, he won't have a choice.

And that is the part I wonder about. Why haven't they tanked him yet?

Simple. He has ignored them from day one. They likely don’t have the sway over him that some think. He’s molded the party in his name and image and replaced that group with others that support his vision of where the LPC is going. That’s also why they are where they are in all likelihood.
