The only upside that I can see is that Canadians will have a year to see what a trump style government can do to a country… Also a trump style government is the same as a poilievre government.

    I hope the Liberals and NDP learn from Trump’s surprisingly good results. Populism is really big right now and any party not embracing that as a means of staying relevant will not stand a chance of forming a government imo. (See the carbon rebate debacle, for example. I don’t like this, but it’s how I see things in the era of most people getting their news on billionaire-run social media platforms). Unfortunately, I do not foresee Trudeau stepping aside or acting with any ‘shape up or ship out’ pressure to adapt

      Singh passed a leadership review just last year with pretty substantial margins. I don’t see any changes happening unless the liberals do first, in which case the NDP will just be playing follow the leader.
