      Is it? Ever since 2011 Trudeau has woven himself so deep into the Liberal party that they might as well be the same thing. Any competent minister who could replace him has been phased out, dissent punished, and the entire party apparatus has been built around Trudeau’s brand. I’m not saying he is Trump at all, but the GOP is in a very similar situation as to just how tightly integrated the two are.

      And to really drive it home, the party got snatched from the jaws of irrelevancy precisely due to Trudeau redefining it and making it in his image. Chrétien managed to win in 93 as a technocrat, but it seems the world has moved beyond 90s all is fine neoliberalism. It will likely take a very long time for the Liberals to actually recover from this, and the longer he stays the more and more difficult it will become.

      And it will likely have to come from someone we haven’t heard of yet, or at least someone who isn’t in his caucus today.

      This list of former Liberal PMs remind me that up until Stephane Dion, every single Liberal leader has become PM. But 2 out of the last 3 Liberal leaders didn’t end up as PM, one even lost his own seat. 
      Yes Liberal led majority of time of Canada, but Canada in 21st century is not Canada in 19th and 20th century, and it’s very entitled sense to say that Liberal Party is guaranteed to be part of the new Canada.  

      The same article could have been written about PC party in 1993, and look where they are now.  

      Yes a form of Liberal party may still exist or even back in power, but it may be in very different form from Liberal of old, like how Trudeau changed the Chretien-Martin era of Liberal Party.

      It’s ironic that we’ve adopted an almost presidential or celebrity style of leadership when our Westminster system of government significantly limits the executive powers of the leader. Hopefully we’ve learned the downside of this cobranding that many other companies have learned in their celebrity associations over the years.
