Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre thinks it would be “not fair” for the Liberals to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now, as in his view they are “morally obligated” to keep him.
Poilievre’s comments come ahead of another potentially significant Liberal caucus meeting Wednesday, during which members are expected to continue discussions around the party’s leadership and the next election.
“I think the Liberals are morally obligated to keep Justin Trudeau,” Poilievre told 580 CFRA’s The Morning Rush host Bill Carroll in a radio interview on Tuesday.
Strategically, I think the Liberals should be waiting until as close as possible to the election call. It stops the conservatives having time to pivot to a campaign strategy that isn’t “Trudeau Bad”
I think doing it that way would depend on who becomes leader of the party after JT. If they pull someone who doesn’t have a history within the party, then it nulls PP’s ability to play his stupid game.
That is why I still think Mark Carney would be a great choice.
Definitely waiting until after the US election to see who would be the best replacement.
But pullling the rug out from the cons right before the election would be awesome to see them flail around uselessly like the republicans are.
