Tons of time for PPs dumbassery to come around and bite his balls. But, I still think the will to change is too much for Trudeau to overcome. Also, he has totally sucked as a Prime Minister and is deserving to fall on his face.

If he had bowed out after his divorce, he could have saved a ton of face IMO. He could have painted this story about how he needed time to focus on his life/family, that he will always love Canada but that it wasn't right for him to continue now. Everyone would have had to sympathetically bought into it, and the liberals could have cleanly washed in a new leader and likely ride that to a win. Trudeau could have gone on to be the elder statesman of the party and maybe even had a 2nd political life in the next decade if he chose.

But with him holding the reigns and the party getting slogged down he'll get buried with it. Baffling and selfish political move but I suppose we shouldn't expect less. He seems like a real narcissist.
Yeah, it's bizarre. I think everyone across the spectrum in Canada thinks he should resign.

I'm not familiar with the LPC's constitution. Do they have the ability to call for a leadership review?
