      Honestly it can’t be soon enough. Hopefully he will announce a winter, latest spring election too so we can put the gong show behind us.

      I think as time goes on JT will largely be forgotten (Outside of the COVID response). I do not think his 9+ years as PM will really be remembered and I think that may be a positive for him.

      Honestly, the caucus kind of wasted a few months by not making the call earlier. It was extremely obvious this wasn’t a messaging issue in late 2023…

      I think Freeland basically forced this with her resignation and more people asking Trudeau to step down. But, they should have done this after the LaSalle by-election results.

      No joke him resigning might save a few liberal seats obviously the tories are destined for a comfortable majority but doing better then iggy might be in the cards for the lpc.

      So take your bets: is this a “Trudeau is actually for real expected to resign” or “top Liberals really *really* want him to resign” kind of thing?

      This will give the Liberals a chance to save some furniture. What looked to be a total wipeout for the Liberals in the next election could become a somewhat respectable showing.

      Thank god finally. I’m not a totally online brain worm anti JT poster but homie should have made plans to resign in 2022 and made way in 2023. After the 2021 election that saw basically the exact same result as the election before that and once again losing the popular vote he should have taking his electoral Ws and put to rest another run.

      Be in Carney, LeBlanc , who ever (atm wish for Nate Smith but unlikely to happen) I don’t care as long as they can fight like Chrétien on the stage but deliver like Pearson in power.

      You know that feeling of relief you get after you pass a Kidney Stone? It’s going to be something like that on Weds for a lot of people.

      JT burned so many bridges and when his main ally packed up and left, he finally realized he’s been on an island for a while. Impressive that he left his party with no time to retool themselves before an election. Dragging your party down with your dying political career is quite the move.

      I don’t understand how a leadership contest would “require” prorogation. The Liberals would want it, sure, so they’re not risking having it overlap with an election period, but that’s a partisan problem not a parliamentary one.

      They absolutely can have a leadership race while parliament is in session – and I think it’s a pipe dream that the GG would assent to a multi-month prorogation in the current parliamentary climate.

    11. Mediocre_Device308 on

      I’ll be shocked if whoever takes the reigns for the next election is anyone other then a sacrificial lamb.

      Carney, Freeland, any other “heavyweight” would be smart to sit this one out and take over post election.

    12. Anti-MoralePolice on

      Genuine question. I see a lot of posts about Carney replacing Trudeau but Carney is unelected? How is this possible? Or even the talk about him becoming the finance minister, how can someone unelected simply be appointed to such a high level government position?

    13. IvantheGreat66 on

      Ah. So when the only way to host an LPC contest that doesn’t go into the election is prorogation or coronation, when his most diehard fanatics long dug themselves into thinking people that want him to go are diabolical demons, *when his party is third place nationally and in seat count*, he finally gives up (assuming these rumors are true).

      I say this’ll likely change nothing-at best, maybe the LPC will get a Campbell esque boost and plunge down back down again. Maybe it’ll stop a complete bottoming out, but they’ll likely still lose party status, and honestly, likely still finish in the high to mid single digits nationally (especially since his fans won’t back them, at least to some extent).

      As an American, go NDP/BQ.

      Good call. Trudeau was good for Canada and hope in ten years we can look positively on his legacy. Carney will maintain more red seats but wont stop a conservative majority. Hopefully he sticks as opposition leader after the election and gets to battle Polievre in 2029 when Trudeau fatigue is not a factor.

    15. Feedmepi314 on

      It’s crazy what it required to get him to quit and I’m not even sure that I would call this a more dignified exit than losing an election to Poilievre

      I think beating Poilievre was a huge motivator for him and it ended up turning so badly his own caucus felt the need to pressure him to resign before he even got there

      Regardless on how you feel about his tenure though, nobody can call this man a quitter

    16. NorthNorthSalt on

      This honestly felt very telegraphed and inevitable, which is probably the only reason why MPs weren’t in open revolt after Freeland’s resignation. They, Trudeau, and everyone else knew what was coming next, so they gave him the grace to make that announcement at his own time frame and save some face.

      This entire period in Canadian politics honestly reminds me of the last weekend before Biden announced he was stepping down. At that point everyone on the capitol and media knew that it had become inevitable, so they stepped back the pressure campaign for a bit and give Biden some space to have a dignified exist

      Could this make 2025 the year of four Prime Ministers: Trudeau, the interim PM, the next Liberal leader, Poilievre?

    18. thendisnigh111349 on

      I’d strongly prefer if they simply acclaimed a new PM rather than make the country wait through a leadership election. Now is not the time for that. They had more than long enough to do it last year before Trump got elected and threatened an economy-ruining tariff war. They need to decide amongst the caucus who’s going to be the fall guy and then call the election shortly after. That is the smartest thing for them to do strategically as well.
