When the winds of politics blow populist, establishment figures like Carney get swept aside. It will be too easy to paint him as an architect of the system that brought on the housing crisis. Carney would do better to keep his powder dry, win a safe seat, and build up his support in the Liberal party. He doesn’t want to Ignatieff this thing.
I don’t think the path is that easy for Pollievre. I suspect the polls aren’t this way because they love PP, it’s because they hate JT. If someone comes in and replaces JT the vulnerability that PP has about his right flank could get exposed and the tide turns quickly.
