Oh man...She's too tied to Justin. She'd have to throw him completely under the bus to have a chance. Remember when they asked Kamala if she would do anything different than Biden and she said she couldn't think of anything. Imagine whats going to happen when they ask Freeland that same question. What's she going to say? Carney can't go in on her because he'll look sexist. Just read that he is the godparent to one of her kids.
It's going to be very interesting to watch them. Freeland has baggage but was polling at 28% if she was the candidate. That is enough to save the party to the 40 seat range and set up for later. She also already threw Trudeau under the bus with the resignation and the letter. She will happily vilify him.

I had initially thought that the majors would stay out. But the argument that getting in when they are down and building them back up is a better road to the PM is a viable argument.

There is also the possibility that a deal was cut between the two to run out the rest of the candidates with a high price. Then let the votes fall as the may. Loser gets the Deputy/Finance ministry in the future. And they run a unity campaign, hoping to either squeak it out or set up for the next one.

Just $50,000 more than the Conservatives. What's your point, as they have a much tighter timeline and need to streamline the candidates!!
Why not have a more open primary?

Of course, unless you think it's best only rich people should be able to run?

Except that there is no Trump to compete against in this election!!
Canadians will be tuned out of the Rightie Spectrum when Tariffs are imposed against Canada and there is a tit for tat retaliation, causing as Dougie Boy stated that around half a million jobs lost, and inflation will once again be a Global Threat!!
Sure there is!

It'll be Carney vs little trump

No, I would have favoured Melanie Joly. As she is not running, definitely Mark Carney is the next best choice for me!!
Chrystia Freeland is not the best communicator, although she is a real tough negotiator that put Trump in his place at the last NAFTA negotiations!!
Agreed, Joly was my first choice as well. I'm sure her announcing she wasn't running was based on some inside moves.
Carney will be good.

Ohhhhh. I see. You'll interact on one thread but not another. Makes sense. If you're a liberal. 🤣 I guess you didn't like my liberal approach of ignoring your question and answering one you didn't ask. If it's good enough for Justin it's good enough for me.🤷‍♂️🤣

How the fuck do you 'inherit' the position of Prime Minister. Didn't they just try that south of the border? How did that work out 100 million dollars later?
So none of the American public was interested in her being president? Got it. And I think they did too because guess what? Donnie boy won. Again!
Stay on topic. You claimed that somebody inherited or tried to inherit. Biden's presidency. That never happened. Who do you think tried to inherit it.

Now you're talking about an election. Is that the same as inheriting something?

If the Primary was months in the making, then a totally different story!!
But why don't you pose the same question to all the parties rather than just those on the "Left"?

It's the party 's fault it can't get It's leadership together. The Canadian public has no obligation to wait for them.

It does show that at this point they can't be trusted. Some time out after a trip to the back of the wood shed will do them good.

That's for just admitting I'm right. Even you see they cleared the field with the entrance fee.
Well the Conservatives did the same, and never saw you criticize them for doing so!!
Realistically it is just between these two candidates. Others knew from the get go and decided to drop out.
There are still half a dozen candidates that have thrown their hats in the ring. Having too many nominees means that there is less air time during the debates!!

It's not the party's fault. Trudeau should have resigned earlier, but made a mistake in the manner in which he handled the Finance Position and intended cabinet reshuffle!!.
Part of that fault also lies at Freeland's feet for the manner in which she resigned!!
The Party have done the right thing since, and really needs a new Leader to close that gap on Pee Pee!!
Too big a mandate for Pee Pee will lead to a disaster by undoing several accomplishments by axing the Childcare, Dental and Pharmacare programs!!

Who else do you think would be running that would have won?

Yet you keep coming back to reply to my posts hoping that I entertain a conversation with you despite the fact you stated you were done replying to me. Yep, you have a man crush on me. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 🌈 🤣🤣🤣
