    My guess is that the Liberals will rise a little more in the polls once Carney is selected as leader, and he’ll use that moment to call an election. If he waits too long he risks PP potentially making a comeback.

      An election is coming soon either way, once Parliament resumes there’ll be a vote of no confidence. The NDP committed to it and it’s suicide not to follow through.

      I think the cpc is probably holding off on attack ads until after the leader is selected, I expect the libs to start losing momentum once that starts, but hopefully it’s still enough to cross into winning territory. I really hope Carney doesn’t have any skeletons (or shoe polish) in his closet.

        I’m already seeing anti-Carney ads from the conservatives.

        Predictably, they’re labelling him Trump-style with a childish nickname “carbon tax Carney”…

          they put their heads together and came up with “he’s just like Justin” lol.

          it’s amazing they still have the support they do
