Kim Campbell 2.0?

 

[Rifleman62]

I believe Mulcair has got this nailed. At the end he speaks about the power of the OMO, and Trudeau's ineptitude with powerful women. That may be the case, but I believe it is more the case of COS Katie Telford can't stand other powerful women and gets rid of them.

Kim Campbell 2.0?

Too smart to take the reins right now... though if she did, she would out-perform Campbell.

Would that be enough to save the furniture for Team Red, barring anything huge between now and any election?

I'm only saying N>2

 

[ArmyRick]

Why would that happen? Telford has absolutely nothing without Trudeau in power. She’s inextricably tied to him. He in turn is extremely dependent on her to help him keep a grip on the reins. There’s no advantage to be gained for either of them by fracturing.

Let me paint a scenario. And with Trudeau, anything is possible. Trudeau in a few weeks or a month or two, has another leadership crisis. He has no one else to blame. So he grabs petite Katie Telford by her hair and heaves her under the bus (Trudeau is a gold belted champion at tossing others, especially women under political buses), along the way she grabs hold of him and drags him further down (ohh, I am sure she has a secret or fifty about Trudeau kept well hidden for rainy days).

2 months ago, I never thought Trudeau would kick Freeland to the curb, but he tried and she bit him hard on her way under the bus.

Damn @brihard , you Ottawa cops must be real busy with all the dead bodies being run over by buses.

Trudeau isn’t authorized to throw Telford under the bus.

Typical Jagmeet Singh: sys he's finally going to do the right thing, when all other avenues have been exhausted.

Let's see what happens in 2025 then...

Can't use "green" electrical buses. Or do they work sometimes?

Parliament sits January 27 or so. Even if an election is called that day, it would be at least 30 days or so? And then his pension is earned. I believe sitting MPs are still paid while campaigning?

Election campaigns are a minimum of 36 days.

How convenient for him that when Parliament resumes, an election would be just long enough to qualify for his pension.

It’s fine to ‘paint a scenario’, but it doesn’t have an air of reality about it. Telford is a functionary and enabler; she‘s neither competition nor an obstacle to him. I just don’t see this happening.

Damn @brihard , you Ottawa cops must be real busy with all the dead bodies being run over by buses.

You would think, but the transit service sucks so much they end up just lying in the street for a while and the bus doesn’t actually show up, so they get up and go back to caucus.

Finally. Lets see if it happens. Unless Peter Julian and Charlie Angus have political knives at his back?

Hopefully he actually does, but I’ll believe it when I see it. This may be his last effort to force Trudeau to step down and hand off. It still remains in the NDP’s interest to prop the government up while they have the leverage, but to me this signals “we cannot and will not work with Trudeau anymore”.

If Trudeau were to announce that he’s stepping down as leader, I wouldn’t bet against NDP working with a successor until October. But we’ll see.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his caucus "will vote to bring this government down," sometime in 2025.

Like, October 2025 perhaps?

I don't know if I'd be as optimistic as your opening line, in the short term anyway, but good catch.

I would love to see Poilievre take a collaborative approach by examining and trying to implement the most helpful platforms from the Liberals and NDP.

Singh is a huge opportunist. He could work with the CPC TODAY to tackle some of his parties biggest asks instead of virtue signaling it a few weeks or months away from a fall election.

Maybe, he’s the only leader with less credibility than JT.

I suspect that when an election actually occurs the NDP may end up with a net gain in seats and may form the official opposition. Which will probably mean bugger-all since the CPC will likely have a substantial majority of seats in Parliament.
