It's 1.1% less than the conservatives. Not 3%.It's less than the last election's disparity, at any rate.
Either way, it's interesting to see 4 Alberta districts not blue.

No way, a scandal basically means he's elevated to a senior position in cabinet in the Trudeau government. It's like the minimum requirements to even get into this governments' cabinet

Well, doesn't look like Chahal made the cut for cabinet. I wonder how much the scandal impacted this:

It 1000% stopped him from being in cabinet.

No talk on Trudeau stepping down? About time in my opinion, curious who will replace him.
Maybe we make this thread a federal politics catch-all?

Past due, now we get to see if people's turn to PP was an anyone but Trudeau or if they're actually done with the Liberals. Too early to even capture that in polling.
I doubt PP is at risk of losing his lead but the chances are not zero. The opportunity the Liberals now have is that the leadership candidates can practice their election campaign before actually having an election campaign, they'll also be able to grab a lot headlines and drown out PP. Can they take advantage of the opportunity?
We're kind of off on an island here in Alberta as we're going blue no matter what, but if you can turn Quebec away from the Bloc and Ontario away from the Conservatives then you can start to see a path. Ontario is especially interesting since Doug Ford likely wants to have a provincial election before the federal election.

I think if it's Chrystia Freeland, people will still go PP, I feel like she is quite similar to JT. If it's someone like Mark Carney, the people worried about the economy may be happy with the Liberals again.

Some candidates will want to play the long game and not put their hand up for this round, they'll think their time will be better after a general election loss. It is no guarantee who ever wins the leadership doesn't stick around for another election.

My guess is the conservatives win a minority whenever the election happens (early summer most likely), so the Liberals may have a revolving door of leaders for the next while.

I think we'll be at the polls in April. With Parliament returning March 24, the throne speech will be voted non-confidence and we'll be off to an election.

There are some timing issues of course. May is likely.
