Was just about to post the same thing.


CBC talking about a very unhappy Liberal caucus with as many as 30-40 MP's asking for Trudeau to step down. Even the Liberal talking head on the panel doesn't deny there are serious problems. We're at a very interesting decision point for the NDP and Bloc, mainly the NDP.


If the reporting is true I can imagine two scenarios.

Scenario #1: Take down the Liberals asap while Trudeau is still the leader and campaign against him in late November.

Scenario #2: Don't do anything. Trudeau steps down and prorogues Parliament to allow for a leadership race. The government returns in the spring with a new leader, introduces a budget and calls an election shortly after.

Regardless of which scenario the parties aren't going to have much more money so that really isn't a factor. Also, there won't be anything done in the house so it's not like they can extract any more concessions.

I can't imagine the Bloc waiting, they aren't getting their pension bill passed and will probably gain seats in an election.

I've said it before but if the NDP ever hope to leapfrog the Liberals they need to get more aggressive. If they allow the Liberals to reset they are unlikely to make any gains in the next election, they might even lose seats.
