Carney under pressure as Liberal leadership candidates prepare for French debate

We don't elect the PM

I don’t disagree, but as soon as parliament resumes we’re getting an election.

The only way that doesn’t happen is if the NDP look at their polling numbers and decide to hold off for a new leader, which they should have done a month ago like the Liberals did.

Honestly though proroguing is probably the best thing that could have happened. If they hadn’t done so we’d have majority PM Pollievre, the death of the Liberal party, and would be stuck with Singh for the foreseeable future.

Now we’re getting an actual competitive liberal party and a real election, with real hope for Canada in the future.

Pollievre has always been a protest vote candidate and the drop in their numbers shows Canadians have little faith in him. He’s one of the least popular leaders in Canadian history. All hat and no cattle.

I'm annoyed as well, but the opposition has made clear that they will take the government down and force an election if they are permitted. And they will do that once the Liberals have their new leader and end proroguing. (Prorogation?)

Do you think it serves the people to not know who the liberal leader will be, or to not hold a proper election for that leader, so we can rush to an election early?

I think people who think that's a good idea probably have goals that skew more towards "anything to give MY team the upper hand!" than "I would like the population to be informed and given the best from the choices available from each party."

In a perfect world, the opposition would also feel this way and government wouldn't have to be shut down while the liberals have their race.
