Why give anything up for a:
Pollievre should be done, but it is way to early for Rob Ford to give up his premier job so do wonder what they'll do. I think they ideally have a place holder till 2028ish when the pre election politics start again.
*Doug Ford. Rob Ford was his younger brother who was the mayor of Toronto, and who has since died.
I'm not convinced Doug would want the job, maybe in the future. Right now he's got a majority in Ontario and can do whatever he wants within provincial preview. He can, and I believe he will, cooperate with Carney and caucus to do what's best for Canada and Ontario in the face of Trump, because that will also be what's best for him, too. Fair's fair, he did a not-bad job during Covid and had a rare moment of cooperating with federal and municipal governments, and it truly made him look like good leader for a while. (He became his normal self after emergency measures were lifted and started blaming everyone else again.)
If he became federal leader now, he couldn't do anything but blow hot air for a while. It's a bigger stage, but lesser power, and it doesn't really do anything to benefit him. Doug is after dollars, but I think he does not like the maple maga and has no interest in dealing with them. Cut them out of the CPC base, they're not likely to win again anytime soon. Or he could just stay premier and have a lot of actual power.
The guy who is intentionally destroying our medical system and even during covid withheld millions and millions of public health funding did "a not-bad job during Covid" -- a not-bad job at WHAT?
Did you not see the part directly after that said he started blaming everyone else?
It is going to be a minority government so I think an election sooner is likely.
As a progressive voter I do wonder about how the NDP will handle this. I also imagine the Bloc don't want to dick around to much at the risk of what happened last time.
I really hope they get the libs to pass electoral reform before dicking around
Enough sacrifices were made for that man. It's time for him to go.
