Whoever it is, a new Liberal leader will stop the bleeding. So will Trump returning to the White House (the Liberal election campaign will focus on comparing the CPC to MAGA). But I think the CPC still wind up with a majority.

I think someone like Carney will shore up things enough to hold opposition, but with an excellent campaign and a few PP stumbles a majority is in question.
Whoever takes over, there is a very thin path to success. As much as the Liberals will hate it, the leader will almost have to run an anti-Trudeau campaign as opposed to an anti-PP campaign. Hard to see that being easy for them without a total reset inspired by a loss.
