My immediate reaction is that he should resign as leader once they have a succession plan figured out, but given the polling in the last month or so they should have already been considering this. Yet I have zero clue who is supposed to take the reins next. So I guess it isn't totally crazy to have PP keep the seat warm. He just can't be leader for another election cycle.

As far as I am concerned, they should go with an interim leader for the next year or so, some moderate within the party. No sense rushing into a leadership convention right now.
I agree, hard no to Leslyn Lewis as well.
I have heard some mention Ben Mulroney in the news...hard no to him as well. I have heard him a few times on the radio and he has a big mouth, always interrupting his guests as well...sounds too much like PP to me. Also, he has no political experience.
On the other hand, I think his sister, Caroline Mulroney, would fit the bill. She has been an Ontario MLA since about 2018 and has held several portfolios.
I think Canadians would also support Doug Ford. Contrary to the mess of a Premier that we have in AB, he supports Canada when push comes to shove.
