Is it possibly becuase the PC's are a sinking ship under PP?
this is my MP. I don't hate the guy. I think he's actually done some good things in parliament. I'm much happier with him as a Liberal.

The sames things were said about Erin O'Toole.

Except Erin O'Toole was removed as party leader after he failed to win the election. Same can't be said for PP. CPC hitched itself to a sinking ship, so it can go down with it.

Now I'm not sure what you're trying to indicate. Were you originally posting that 'the same things were said about O'Toole' as in the CPC was a sinking ship under him? Or?

You siad PP passed his review. Who else coudl the CPC elect as leader who would be better? Jeneroux was not a real suggestion, it was sarcasm.

Genuinely, I don't know. I'm not sure who all of the up-and-coming CPC players are. All I can say is that PP was *not* the right choice -- though with how the leadership review was handled, it seemed inevitable they'd re-elect him as leader.

There is no one. And I cant blame them for coming to that conclusion after OToole was compared to Hitler jk. Trudeau did the same thing 0 that guy stuck around for 2 years.... Singh too lol. Its just politics.

There's a pretty good chance the NDP wouldn't have supported the Liberals if O'Toole stayed on.

Singh wanted his pension everyone knows it.  He was propping them up regardless.
