Freeland just 2 months ago was vehemently defending the economy calling it a vibecession, as finance minister of the party she is now trying to lead and claim the policies failed. She got fired and she decided to quit instead very publicly. Had that not occurred, Trudeau would likely still be holding on and Freeland and co (including Carney who was set to be handed a cabinet position) would all be toeing the party line right now (with parliament likely still prorogued).
And again, Trudeau is still in power of Freeland's party and leading the country right now for at least the next 2 months. Telling the world he is awful while Liberals are still in charge of policies under him, is not helping anyone and most certainly not the Liberal party. Canadians are supposed to suddenly forget everything that has been occurring as soon as a new leader is picked?
Surely you aren't here trying to compare both as similar situations in staunch defense of the Liberals here. You do need a break.
I'm all for this iteration of the Liberals continuing to implode on themselves. I didn't say it's inappropriate, I said it's a debacle.

For one, taking issue with the name “Skippy” is stupid. It’s his nickname, not one given out of disrespect from critics, but one he’s had for 20+ years given to him by fellow members of his own party.
Two, you seem to understand how elections work but act dumbstruck that leadership elections work the same way. The candidates are very obviously going to separate themselves from the current leadership, even if that means being critical of it, and should not be, as you put it, a revelation to anyone remotely aware of politics.
While I’m enjoying that you’ve gone mask-off and are no longer hiding your militant partisanship, Slava is a pretty reasonable, middle of the road guy (total NIMBY, but otherwise cool). If you’re reacting this way to his comments, do you think maybe you’re the one who needs the break? Especially as every second post of yours seems to be an extreme overreaction.
Just an idea. You don’t seem well this week.
