I cannot say the same about Pierre. Trudeau has largely done his damage.

I don't disagree about PP being a bad choice for PM as I've said previously, but I don't understand your comment about Trudeau. Why can he not do more damage? I would think he would be at his most dangerous, if you consider his political ideology damaging, when he knows he's not long for his role and has no significant need to win things anymore.
It seems to me that there's plenty of damage left to do and a track record to suggest he's perfectly capable of doing it.

Yeah, no. The proof is in his nutty, far right leaning bull**** words that come straight from his own mouth.

That entire speech was the usual CPC new leader "please, Canada, don't take anything I've said over the past few months as anything other than an attempt to win this nomination" speech, with a little "oh, and anything I've done as an MP was really just to get headlines" mixed in. I'm not sure how this works for anyone.
I said I'd give Freeland a chance if she took over the LPC, though, so I guess I'll give PP the same treatment the next 2+ years in terms of what he says and does. Can't vote until 2025 anyway... But I seriously doubt he'll do anything in that time but further establish how ill-suited he is for the PM role. I had to laugh at whoever it was above saying he's "not playing the left right game" - he
embodies that game, every bit as much as JT does.
