"Skippy" is the leader of the opposing party that wants to be elected as PM. It makes total sense to go after the other party and go on the offensive. This should not be a revelation to anyone remotely aware of politics.
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.

Yeah, I will concede that I shouldn’t have called him Skippy. I also don’t like it when people do that and try to have a conversation, so that’s on me.
As far as the Liberals and whether they should continue defending a policy that everyone hates, it’s amusing. I understand that the entire CPC campaign was “axe the tax” and “we hate Trudeau”, so with both of those things gone there isn’t much to campaign on. But that’s politics.
