Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

So, Anita Anand has stated that not only is she not running for the leadership of the Liberal Party, but will not be seeking re-election when ever that happens. And it appears that Melanie Joly will not run for the top spot either,.

Anand is intelligent. Which explains why she will sit out this election.

If PP panders to the SOCONs in a way that eats at my legacy-PC/Blue Grit genes, I would look forward to seeing Anand run in the future to pull the LPC back over the NDP towards a closer to center position.

I wonder how many of these resignations have to do with the looming CPC victory and the possibility of Poilievre peeling back the layers of that Liberal slush fund and 180+ ethic violations that the Liberals are trying so hard to hide.

Former PM Chretien says Liberal party must move back to 'radical centre'

As the Liberal party searches for a new leader, former prime minister Jean Chretien says it's time for the party to move back to the "radical centre" to help its electoral fortunes.

I think Jean Chrétien would agree with you on that.

Anita Anand - according to 338 Canada, Oakville, either East or West, she had zero chance of winning her ridding.

Mark Carney is the Team Trudeau candidate. His campaign is being run by Butts, Telford, et al. - the ones who had to resign due to scandal, or who have been implicated in multiple scandals. The ones who reduced the Liberal Party to 16 per cent.
Carney = Trudeau.

LILLEY: Trudeau's team goes all in on Carney while Clark implodes

In the leadership race to replace him, Justin Trudeau is all but laying his hands upon Mark Carney.

Former top advisor Gerald Butts is part of Carney’s campaign team while others close to Trudeau, including Trudeau’s chief of staff Katie Telford, are making calls on Carney’s behalf.

Carney = more of the same…elected front man run by the unelected back room team. #TeamRedStatusQuo

Oh, what a surprise...

Ahead of Trump presidency, U.S. banks abandon Mark Carney climate initiative​

Canadian banks non-committal on remaining​

Though none of the departing banks offered a reason for leaving, climate finance experts pointed to the elephant in the room.

"All the U.S. banks are running scared of Trump 2.0," says Paddy McCully, a California-based environmentalist and senior analyst at the French non-profit Reclaim Finance. "Their fear over being attacked by Trump is much greater than their climate commitment, so they all ditched the NZBA."

Recent years have seen a backlash against ESG investing — which follows environmental, social and governance principles — with U.S president-elect Donald Trump actively campaigning against it.

There has also been a lawsuit and probes led by Republican lawmakers against giant investment firms like BlackRock. They allege these climate initiatives are anti-competitive, by pressuring the coal companies in the firms' portfolios to reduce their output in order to meet climate goals. That legal action was enough for BlackRock to announce its departure from another GFANZ offshoot, the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative.

Butts & Telford batting for you? The political kiss of death right there (one hopes)!

Enough so, that Catney’s team is denying B&T’s “help”…

Three independent Liberal sources tell the Sun that Telford has been seeking support for Carney with key supporters and that much of the PMO staff is behind Carney as well. That’s something the Carney campaign is disputing.

“Neither the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff nor other officials of the Office of the Prime Minister are involved with Mark’s team,” a source at Carney’s campaign said.

Anita Anand will not run for leadership of the LPC, and will not run for reelection. She’s going to return to academia.

A bit disappointed on this one. I had some respect for this one, not enough to get me to vote Liberal, but enough to tip my hat with some respect.

Tin Foil Hat on:

No one seems to want to take on the LPC leadership, except one fairly new immigrant MP who had an argument with another Liberal Indo MP (shades of politics in India)

Clark may be a unfortunate loss to the leadership run as a result of her shidt happens moment.

Carney, the CPC fav may or may not run. He would have to disclose all his assets, businesses, etc. Does he want to do that? As noted above, even being the PM for a very short time, look at the info he gets. Then gets richer. Note: he holds three passports incl Cdn. MP's should be forced to only have Cdn passports while in office.

Freeland, popular with Liberal MP's, no one else.

Thus, no ideal candidate for the LPC.

Trudeau, there is nobody in the world as great as me, thus I withdraw my resignation.

The LPC ceases to exist after the election.

What if Carney and Freeland both don’t run?

doesn’t look like they won’t
