    The likely scenario is that, immediately upon Parliament resuming next month, the Liberals will immediately lose a confidence vote, triggering a snap election. The opposition parties have all stated that they will initiate a confidence vote at the earliest opportunity.

    In the unlikely event that doesn’t happen, I imagine JT would remain on as PM until the mandatory election this fall. Were he to step down, he would probably appoint a sitting MP as interim PM.

    As a fun(?) aside, Canada has had two PMs who served while members of the (unelected) Senate, and MacKenzie King and John Turner both briefly governed without a ministerial seat.

      There is a lot of “likely scenarios”, “probably”, and “imagination” required for me to accept your point of view when I asked for a source on when the next election is.

      Please don’t waste anymore of my time with conjecture.

      It is strange to support an argument that something won’t happen by demonstrating how it has already happened.

        Okay then, the next election will happen when the next election is called.

        Let me know if I used any words that are too big for you.

          Just say “I don’t know” when you don’t instead of pretending like I am the problem not understanding the very basic English you are using to communicate.

          I know it is hard for a Liberal considering the center right starting point but at least make an attempt to be better than Conservatives when you fail to support your argument.
