I believe your very much in the minority on this line of thinking. I am willing to bet the vast majority of Canadians want an election yesterday. If not, then today will suffice.

I would have been fine with an election in the fall. I'd be fine with the GoC falling in Feb for a May election. I'm not okay with having no government during the Trump transition because of how it impacts decision making.

Doesn't need to be Trudeau at the helm, just need to be someone, because otherwise the decision making gets paralyzed.

The PM has been openly courting Carney. When you're at a dance and your date starts eyeing up the competition, at some point you need to retain a shred of dignity (even if you are a politician).

If the PM is lucky enough to con Carney into sitting in the tent, I wonder if it would be as an unelected Cabinet member of he'll try and convince somebody to cough up their safe seat. I doubt Freeland would.

It’s like the reality show franchise Traitors, where one of the traitors (Liberal cabal) is banished by the faithfuls (morals?), and the traitors have to recruit, to keep their numbers up…

Except the wild card. This is a very unstable minority Liberal government. Its the political wild west these days in Ottawa. It may not be the NDP, but I wouldn't discount the Liberals themselves from forcing an election to get Trudeau out.

Hate to break it to you. This parliament will not move forward. There are three questions of privilege lined up. They take precedent. Trudeau is not bowing to the first one. ALL THREE opposition parties will not bow on the first one. We have no functioning government right now.

So what if we are in an election cycle when Trump takes power? Its not going to make a difference.

Rip the band-aid now - Gov't needs to fall now and a new Government election as soon as possible.

A large reason why there are incoming tariffs is the Trudeau government. If there were an election right now, that may pause the next US administration a bit. Trudeau staying another second won't help Canada, only harm.

Former cabinet minister Randy Boissonnault tells committee: 'I am not Indigenous'​

Edmonton MP resigned from cabinet last month​


Randy Boissonnault, whose shifting claims to Indigenous identity cost him his job as employment minister, told a House of Commons committee today that he is not Indigenous.

Boissonnault was called to testify at the Indigenous and northern affairs committee after a series of media reports, led by the National Post, raised doubts about his past claims related to his heritage.

The Edmonton MP has been described as Indigenous multiple times in communications from the Liberal Party, has referred to himself as "non-status adopted Cree" and has said his great-grandmother was a "full-blooded Cree woman."

On this day in 1944 the Germans launched the Ardennes Offensive, which culminated on 25 January 1945.

So I guess the writ drops on 25 January 2025, to maintain the historical parallel.

The offensive culminated shortly after Christmas. The rest was cleanup.

A lot of these are Cabinet level issue where you need a minister, not Parliament. A lot of high level decisions freeze solid during elections, but with the Cabinet gong show that needs sorted regardless.

I really don't think who the PM is will make a big difference, Trump will bully whoever is in charge because he's an idiot and a narcissist.

That doesn’t make the least bit of sense. Why would they trigger an election while facing the worst likely prospect of reelection? They need Trudeau to step aside in a way that gives them time to benefit from some leveling off.
