The problem for the Liberals is that people have simply stopped listening and made a decision that Trudeau has to go.

Based maybe round the Liberals track record on scandals, and that they aren't seen as an honest government, and the lying is systemic.

The last month has been a series of hammer blows, the interference report, reports on poverty and food bank usage, new scandals around the Green Fund, and the "Other Randy", and MP's coming out not only the boohoo cry some more from one Liberal MP followed by another MP on the last day of parliament holding up a coffee cup with that logo on it. Trudeau spinning up a $220,000 10 day in flight catering menu.

Politics is all about perception, the Liberals haven't helped themselves, and to add on they just simply look like they're either lying about, or running from everything.

Honestly and to steal from Jim Cornette, I'm just a small town bird lawyer but, even Jagmeet Singh has hurt himself and his party by sticking with their support agreement with the Liberals, with a hand on 10 and 2 position of determination to ride it to the end. When you look like your supporting a corrupt, and dishonest party, you become a corrupt and dishonest party, that's the label you're hit with and it opens up logic lines like Jagmeet is just in it for the pension.

The Liberal PMO office under Katie Telford and when Butts was there, used to be brilliant, they were on top of their comms, they had a good strategy of getting things away from key issues and into wedge issues, and the Conservatives would take the bait everytime. Now when you follow the Liberal Comms, it just seems tired, and out of touch, and for some reason, it feels like the way they communicate just sets up home run slams by angry Canadians.

I'm not saying that PP is a good choice for the PM's change

(In fact I have the cynical belief that nothing on the tax front is going to change if he does win, because it feels like the books are in terrible shape).

But he hasn't risen to the bait, he hasn't given the Liberals a lot of oxygen, but he's shifted the narrative from platform, to straight out "These people are incompetent and corrupt and its time for a change."

I at this point, don't even think that the Liberals changing leaders is going to make a sharp change, the obvious replacements like Freeland, Anaud, Oregan(sp?) and others, have too much Trudeau and corrupt Liberal stink on them. they might as well get Mark Gerrettsen into the leaders role and take the pummelling and rebuild the party.
