Word coming down in Ottawa that Trudeau has agreed to resign as leader prior to July 1

[Sundancefisher]

The plan right now is for the Liberal party to announce Trudeau is leaving as leader.

The party has little money to fund a leadership contest and an election so they are going to elect a new leader by a cabinet vote.

Not going to be Freeland. Too much baggage. Some names are being kicked around and some back room politicking is ramping up.

Going to be interesting to see who they pick from the current cabinet roster. Back benchers are not being considered.

So much for liberal transparency and freedom. Members will be told who will lead them lol.

I've thought for over a year now, and Pierre called it 2 weeks ago, Mark Carney will be taking the helm.

Trudeau needs to stay till the election.
The idiots that have grown to dislike him will forget that all his MP's supported that moron, and will fall back on love with the party.

Can’t be Carney. Must be from the cabinet. Otherwise it will be seen as undemocratic.

Maybe they can’t even select a leader who hasn’t been elected yet. An interim leader is temporary until a convention but they can lead an election. A scape goat to blame most likely.

You would have to be crazy to lead a sinking ship of a waterfall right now.

So did your inside sources change their mind on it being a cabinet member?

I think it’s going to be LeBlanc.

He’s in the running for sure but Liberals like to float names to insider liberal friendly reporters and then the Liberals scan the data and response to see who will be most favourable for the election.

They do a lot of polling and confidential focus groups.

Party knows Trudeau is poison for the next election and want to put a new face in primarily as a scape goat for a perceived big election loss and at the same time hoping for a miracle.

They will also need to see if they put a sacrifice on the pedestal or put someone who would run again.

A whipping would make any interim leader a one and done guy.

One needs to start watching for these stories. The Liberal spin doctors don’t allow posting of a story that suggests Trudeau thinks of quitting.

It’s a set up. Put the question out there but he’s too strong a man to quit. Too much to do. Needs to defend democracy… but it’s hard and he’s made sacrifices and still has more to do.

Then will come stories on what he’s done. How much he’s accomplished and how he’s setting up Canada for the better.

Then comes a story that he has done so much and hit his main hurdles and maybe others turn to carry the ball so he can settle down and enjoy the $180 MM he made while in office.

Then comes his epiphany that he has done more than enough and his legacy will live on through the interim leader.

At the same time a few stories about the odd cabinet minister as to their leadership qualities will hit liberal friendly reporters.

Liberal insiders will watch for critical negative news about each one.

Then when their are ready to pull the trigger on an interim leader, Trudeau will announce he wants to move onto new challenges and help Canadians from another role…

Then his new plush patronage job will be granted by the interim leader…

Then next stop Election City.

Canada's Trudeau says he often mulls quitting his 'crazy job,' but will stay on

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau takes part in a climate change conference in Ottawa
OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose Liberals are trailing badly in the polls, on Friday said he thought about quitting his "crazy job" every day but insisted he would stay in office until the next election.

That vote must be held by October 2025 and recent surveys of public opinion show the Liberals would be crushed by the right-of-center Conservatives. Pollsters say voters are tiring of Trudeau, who first took office in November 2015.

"I could not be the man I am and abandon the fight at this point," he told French-language broadcaster Radio-Canada in a lengthy interview.

Asked whether he thought about quitting, he laughed and replied: "I think about quitting every day. It's a crazy job I'm doing, making the personal sacrifices.

Trudeau continued: "Of course, it's super tough, it's super not great at times. But my God, the path we're on is so precarious, democracies are under such attack around the world."

The Conservatives say they will ax a carbon tax introduced by the Liberals, address the government's budget deficit, tackle a housing crisis and crack down on crime.

The carbon tax is due to go up again on April 1 and Trudeau reiterated the government would not heed calls from some provincial premiers to freeze the increase.

"I entered politics not to be popular, not for personal reasons, (but) because I want to serve and I know I have something to offer," he said.

Last year, Trudeau and his wife Sophie announced they were separating after 18 years of marriage.

They will try anything to get a vote.

[Sundancefisher]

Carney is getting air time as a potential successor to Justin.

https://nationalpost.com/news/conser...0board%20chair.

Polling will be critical.

If the liberal polling shows a candidate has a chance to win then they will get the nod as interim.

If no one is seen as capable of righting the Trudeau Train Wreck… then a sacrificial candidate will come in and the party will start planning a re-shining of the liberal brand. The most ethical guy in the liberal party is Anthony Housefather. I’d worry if he got in. The rest are sheep or crooks or invisible.

That story was out before you started this thread

Yup... All that will happen is they appoint some shinny new turd and give all the people someone new to believe in and buy there terrible ideas of solving all the problems..

Turdeua getting replaced is the worst thing that can happen..

We will have another liberal federal government.

I think that is why PP keeps poking at him, keep him motivated to stay on.

[jungleboy]

I hope not. The longer he stays the better the chance for complete destruction of the Liberals in the next election.

The only problem is how much damage can he do between now and then. We will be lucky if we can own Daisy Red Ryders by then.

[bagwan]

He's the best they have!! Keep telling him that.

As much as I’d love to believe this is true, I have to ask…where are you getting this information from? I’ve scoured a few news sites and can’t find any word of it. This would be really big news, yet there’s no mention anywhere.

Exactly! It seems strange that there is no sign of this on any media. I personally hope that it isn't true, I want Trudeau to remain leader, and lose huge in the next election.

[barsik]

I think justinian the corrupt lying bass turd still has a few more bills to sink Kanada deeper in debt and/or impose more authoritarian measures before he leaves office. I vote him as the greatest thieving, corrupt, lying, authoritarian prime minister this country has ever had. he was groomed for the office, his previous education and career as a drama teacher was solid gold to enable him to appeal to those who judge by emotion alone...because none of his speeches or bills had any logic or financial acumen. having said that, he was just the messenger, he never made any decisions of his own, everything was scripted for him. all he had to do was sell it.

[AI 6.5]

I call BS on that. I’ll believe it when I see it. I will gladly eat crow but that moron is too power hungry, arrogant, self serving, narcissistic etc etc.

I agree with you. I don't see anywhere this is being said by legitimate sources. Sounds like guessing to me. May happen, but I'm from Missouri ..... show me or I don't believe it.

He must be a Liberal party insider or he’s chatting with Rosemary Barton.

X2, sounds too good to be true, willful misinformation ?

[dmcbride]

The only thing I have read or watched, can’t remember where, is that if the liberals don’t get a bump in the polls from the budget by June the party will have to decide if a new leader is needed.

Can’t say but it’s the plan in action now for the Liberals.

Watch the spin coming shortly to a TV set near you I’m sure.

[huntinstuff]

When he's hanging by his ankles in front of Parliament, I'll believe it.....maybe

[2 Tollers]

Jagmeet all the way --- he holds the cards on calling an election so he barters himself in as the new leader of coalition of the weasels as he is the remaining weasel.

Can you imagine the leverage the NDP would use on the new person to not force a quick election. Perfect storm for the dippers Trudeau stepping down and a new person having to deal with the coalition agreement.

[Sundancefisher]

More of these “self-reflection” interviews are coming.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/what...tion-1.6864922

All part of making a face saving case that he is leaving… not because he has become the most hated politician in Canada of all time because of his own parties American style divisive politics… but for some other contrived reason.

Most won’t care what he says so long as he goes.

This article is interesting as he blames his family troubles because of his job and not himself.

But when it's time to lay down arms, he told Freakonomics Radio, he plans to return to his roots.
"I'd still be a teacher," he said. "I will look to teach again in one way, shape or form."

One thing that has always been very clear to Trudeau is that whatever goes wrong is not his fault.
