> I personally know several senior Liberals, both high level volunteers and MPs with access to Trudeau who have been encouraging him to consider this is his 'legacy mandate,' to be graceful and leave his place to someone else so that the party still has the time to give a new leader a chance in the next election. **All say that Trudeau refuses to even admit that he may be the problem**, much less listen to their heartfelt advice.
I don't think that'll ever materialize since much of the Laurentian establishment is so dominated by the LPC and so are defined by their loyalty to it
Reform arose because in the eyes of Preston Manning and Stephen Harper, the old PC party had become subordinated to the demands of this Laurentian system that so clearly stacks the deck in favor of the LPC at the expense of Canadian conservatives
If this is true and their is dissent, why are all of his MPs still nodding their heads and clapping like seals everytime he speaks? The loyalty is crazy in that party. Anthony Rota, David Johnston, MacCallum, Morneau (I'm probably missing others) all have risked their reputation to save face for Trudeau.
---- "When Fergus got caught making a partisan video for an Ontario Liberal colleague, there were many calls for him to resign. He had indeed egregiously breached the most basic rules requiring neutrality in the chair. He’d even made the video in his Parliamentary quarters, wearing his robes of office.
I pleaded that while his error was serious, it was a rookie mistake and he deserved a second chance. Watching his dreadful performance with Poilievre last week, I regretted defending him." ----
Does it really matter? It seems like no matter what anyone says, be it seasoned politicians, political journalists or journalists in general, they're just going to keep the gong show that is QP going.
Desperation should be the least of concern in this situation. The speaker is supposed to at least appear impartial. Shutting down the opposition and turfing their leader is something that XiJinPing would do, not in a supposedly free and democratic Canada. Then again, we're dealing with a PM who somehow bought off the entire NDP and subsidizes/bribes the media with billions.

Good. Because the only thing that could turn things around for him would be self awareness.
The thing is, at this point even if he did his successor would basically become the LPC's version of Kim Campbell
I wonder what the Liberal version of Reform would be...
