There's no way they'll elect Freeland. Even if she's had a falling out with Trudeau, she's still going to be considered part of the Trudeau camp.

I will bet you anything they're going to do what they did 22 years ago with Paul Martin -- ie, elect a Tory-friendly fiscal conservative -- and this time around it's Mark Carney.

Yup he is the new paul martin. That said he seems more media savvy then Martin and has better handlers. Paul Martin was a pretty good PM, its a shame people don't accept leaders that won't lie to their faces.

I believe Chretien-Martin had the best financial record of any government, at least in recent memory.

My vote goes to Mark Carney. Freeland is hated.
Mark Carney is just a way for Liberals to say "I hate Liberals" but not feel shame, embarrassment or hypocritical when they vote Liberal again.

Yes Carney was hand picked and will probably win leadership, but he has never campaigned before and Jon Stewart isn't going to be standing beside him 24/7.

Fun times ahead.

Get your popcorn ready.

All the candidates are a joke.
Won't matter who wins. Canadians want a change and it isn't for another lying liberal.
Funny how they all promoted and supported the carbon tax and now say they will get rid of it. When they actually won't get rid of it but just rename it or hide it under another tax.

The fact is that Freeland stood up to Trump during the NAFTA negotiations. Pee Pee was moaning and groaning for her to accept a bad deal, that Trump favoured. But Freeland would have none of it and then got the best present deal that pissed off Trump. That is why he hates her. Having said that, my first choice would still be Mark Carney, though Karina Gould would now be also a contender. She is very articulate and unlike Carney is also fluent in French. Having said that, Pee Pee fears Carney more than Freeland and Gould, as Carney could get the more moderate voters back to supporting the Liberals!!

Where do you get this bullshit from? She didn't do shit but spend our money and freeze our bank accounts.

What crap are you coming up with? The only bank accounts that were frozen were those of the FreeDumb Convoy. Not OUR BANK ACCOUNTS!!

You are living in denial if you think that she did not improve the deal for Canada, that pissed off Trump:


No wonder that Trump wants to renegotiate it when it expires. He insists that it was a bad deal. So suck up to it!

the liberal party needs to take a step back towards the center after the failed loonie left experiment
Mark Carney.?? Nope, he has been advising the moron during the meltdown
and he completely supported that evil and extremely unpopular carbon tax

Why he entered now is a bewilderment
Who wants to be the captain of the SS Titanic after it hit the iceberg ?
Politicians generally only get one kick at the can , fail and you are done
I cant see him playing the role of the leader of an opposition party
