“The prime minister has said he's going to be leading the party in the next election,” he added. “I'm very excited about that.”

LeBlanc — who serves as the minister of public safety, democratic institutions, and intergovernmental affairs — told CTV’s Questions Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday that Trudeau should “absolutely” remain as Liberal leader in the next election.

Well that’s it . Trudeau will step aside for the good of the party but remain available to act as saviour in a couple of years .

Numbers in Ontario swung back. But I can already see the playbook. 1.5 years of trying to make PP seem like he's a complete right wing wackadoodle and just like Trump. They no doubt feel this will scare the soft Liberal voters who voted for them last time back to their side. From what I have seen so far is that PP seems to do a better job of deflecting the insinuations than his predecessors (the ones after Harper). Let's see if he can keep it up.

After this weeks accusations & malarkey in the House of Commons, it didn’t seem to help Trudeau or harm Poilievre.

Poilivere gives Quebec an alternative they can support opposed to an Andrew Scheer they could not. It will be enough.

Liberal support will come from trade unions and public sector employees which is more than 30% and likely a higher voter participation number

NDP are becoming an ethnic based party with the most people of all to support them if they can just get them into the country.

Western Canada will hope for better but no one truly has their back.

So…by law at the latest it can’t be any later than Oct 20th 2025…except the Liberals (with NDP backing…surprise-surprise) extending that to Oct 27th 2025 ‘cuz open obvious publicly flaunted graft…’cuz left…
1715743626888.jpegSo when can we expect a federal election? In theory at any time in a minority government situation except…that’s not what we have. Not by a long shot.
1715743997192.jpeg
What’re the odds the NDP wouldn’t support the Liberals in pushing the maximum length between federal elections from Oct 20th to the 27th 2025…& in turn remove the guarantee of a pension if the election was actually on the 20th for fully half of NDP MP’s….hmmmm….
1715744475176.jpeg
Asked about low poll numbers, Trudeau attacks Alberta's oil and gas sector, ‘cuz…
…’cuz trying to split the vote rich/poor or older/younger with their last budget didn’t work…
….so maybe the tried and true divisive split east/west might work again?

No matter how decisive the Conservative mandate in the next election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau quietly retains the unique power to severely obstruct the Tory agenda for years to come.

In fact, Trudeau may have already set in motion a scenario that could plunge Canada into an unending series of constitutional crises at the first sign of a new Tory government attempting to reverse the carbon tax, bail reform, the Online Streaming Act or any of the other signature Liberal policies of the last nine years.

And it’s all thanks to the Senate.

By the anticipated date of the 2025 federal election, only 10 to 15 members of the 105-seat Senate will be either Conservative or Conservative appointees. The rest will be Liberal appointees. As of this writing, 70 senators have been personally appointed by Trudeau, and he’ll likely have the opportunity to appoint another 12 before his term ends.
What this means is that no matter how strong the mandate of any future Conservative government, the Tory caucus will face a Liberal supermajority in the Senate with the power to gut or block any legislation sent their way.
1715825450107.jpegConstitutional scholars Howard Anglin and Ray Pennings envisioned a potential nightmare scenario in which the Senate casts themselves as “resisting” a Conservative government. Given that senators are all permanently appointed until their mandatory retirement at age 75, it would take at least 10 years until a Conservative government could rack up enough Senate appointments to overcome the Liberal-appointed majority.

Somehow, this just isn’t surprising. Democracy…Smarocracy.

1715924128374.jpeg…& if that doesn’t work… try the old “Trump” method and throw as much shit at the wall as you can just to see what will stick?:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assailed New Brunswick's premier and other conservative leaders on Thursday, calling out the provincial government's position on abortion, LGBTQ youth and climate change. (He missed gun control, but tomorrow is another day)
It just reeks of desperation. During a news conference in Caraquet, N.B., Trudeau delivered his attack in response to a question about whether he would be campaigning with the New Brunswick Liberals ahead of the upcoming provincial election, which has to be held by October.

Did he answer the question he was asked? Did he even come close? Was the answer even in the same ZIP Code as the question? Does it matter to Justin Trudeau? Despite his desire to "work with any government" in Canada, the prime minister said, "I do have issues with the current government of New Brunswick." Etc…

"I will continue to call out the government of New Brunswick and any conservative leader who continues to go after women's rights." Try’n the old ‘boy/girl divisive tactic’ but he didn’t go as far as saying, one or the other had cooties, but again tomorrow is another day…
1715924176503.jpeg
Trudeau brought up the 2022 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion in that country, saying Canada could suffer similar restrictions if conservatives are in power…because…? If you can’t campaign successfully in Canada about Canada, then campaign on US issues in Canada and maybe that divisiveness might work???

Finally, Trudeau lashed out at Higgs's calls for the removal of the federal carbon price, saying the premier wanted to "scrap" Canada's fight against climate change…like the majority of Canadians in Canada…but Trudeau knows best.

In February, shortly before the carbon price went into effect in New Brunswick, Higgs said, "the federal carbon tax has and will continue to result in higher prices on everything." Oh well…

By every demographic currently, the Liberal & NDP parties are tanking to the conservatives on gender, Ages, incomes, and religions…with the sole (or would that be soul?) exception of religions, where the one demographic being Muslim voters is mostly behind the NDP party (a little over 40%)…& that’s it.

The one place where the Federal Liberals might be successful…is if they switched to a provincial party in Quebec & campaign against the Bloc…then maybe?

Maybe they could beat the conservatives at something somewhere. Yes, it’s a long ways away from the election, and anything can happen at any time, etc…
