Enough sacrifices were made for that man. It's time for him to go.

Why give anything up for a:
- Incompetent(his supposed big claim was the super majority that he turned into a Liberal Minority, really have nothing else to show for 20years in politics)
- Cunt(any video interaction with him)
- That really doesn't seem to have any political future.
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.

It is going to be a minority government so I think an election sooner is likely.

I don't see the government falling in less than a year. Maybe after 2, but probably longer unless something dramatic happens.
- The NDP can't afford to fight an election any time soon, they need a new leader and they need to re-energize their supporters.
- The Bloc has a common cause with the federal government until the Trump threat is neutralized (and they're even more angry about their sovereignty being actively threatened than most Canadians). And the housing program that Carney speaks about would benefit all provinces, including Quebec.
- The Conservatives need to turf PP and replace him, which he will fight against. That's going to take some time, and if Carney is doing a good job while they're busy with that, it'll be even harder for their new leader to credibly justify bringing down the government..
- And finally, the public has no appetite for going back into an election unless Carney screws up badly. And any competent political strategist from any party should be able to recognize that.
