I'm surprised by the backlash, this is Liberal's only chance. I know it's fun for the armchair political analysts to poke fun at the ones analyzing for money, but we can all see the same writing on the wall. Incumbents are fuckin losing, all around the world, to far-right challengers. The U.S. Democratic tried and utterly failed to change the optics on their party being responsible for corporations using a fucking pandemic as a smokescreen to tighten the clamps of late-stage capitalism with price hikes that will never come down. Liberal still has to find a way to sell change from the status quo if they want to stay in power, so they're taking a gamble. Maybe the issue really was that Biden dropped out too late, or maybe Americans really are dumber than Canadians. Either way, it was take this gamble of have a guaranteed loss. It'll be interesting to see who takes Trudeau's place, and whether they can sell themselves as enough of a difference in the ~8 months they'll have.
what labor? trudeau is the head of the liberal party
that's my bad, it's early and I got my centrist L parties mixed up.
