Sorry let me just bask in the abridged version of my deadly accurate prediction and the very astute responses.

For the disaster they’re making the Liberals out to be, the Conservative polling numbers are actually worse than you’d expect. With the right winds shifting around before the election, they could drop right back down.

Of course Trudeau is the biggest obstacle there, but it’s a big reason why Conservatives and their supporters are obsessed with calling an election rather than anything to do with resigning.

Saying stuff like the Liberals aren’t well funded, or that it’s “selfish” for the elected party to rule until the next election, or that the Bloc wants to be the official opposition, is absurd. Yes, I get all the conservative fantasies these moments of turmoil inspire, but these fantasies don’t mean anything. You have to understand how long a year is in politics and public sentiment.

The country will have a say in new leadership… at the election. Last time they elected the Liberals, who are the leaders now. They want a majority, a minority, or at least opposition against a Conservative minority. Right now, they’re looking at opposition against a Conservative majority. So, how do they achieve something more preferential? Their best path forward is booting Trudeau and shaking up the party with a new leader and shuffling the cabinet. Say someone like Carney, sure. What does that do? It guarantees nothing, but probably puts option three back on the table if not option two (would require a huge change, but possible).

What does the NDP get out of letting this play out? Well for them, like the Bloc, official opposition is off the table. So their choices are letting the government fall and giving up all influence for 4+ years, or propping up the government, continuing influence for a year, and hoping that continues beyond that.

I don't know what's more fun, watching the complete total collapse of the Liberal party before our eyes in a matter of hours as they backstab each other live for all of us to see with a rogue leader refusing to step down, or PepsiFree and the usual crew in complete mental meltdown mode and on full damage control in vain attempts to control the narrative.

The liberals are headed for a 1993 mulroney loss.

Trudeau is too much of a narcissist to step aside. He’s going down with the ship and taking the country with him. It’s not him. Everyone else is wrong.

Everybody clap.
