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.
