Iโd take Singh in a heartbeat over the other two.
But we need a Kamala up here too.
Even if the Liberals somehow manage to find a credible, electable leader that doesn't end up being a Michael Ignatieff 2.0, I see no reason to trust that they won't deliver more of the same bullshit.
When it comes to leadership in American politics, it's said that democrats fall in love, and republicans fall in line.
I don't want to fall in love. The past decade of Canadian politics has been a parade of 'charisma' and it hasn't gotten us anywhere. I want a sincere and straightforward leader, who won't get embroiled in scandals, has a strong stance on foreign policy, a plan for foreign interference, the housing & affordability crisis, and an ability to deal with issues in a straightforward and policy-focused way. I guess what I'm trying to say is I want a prime minister with a short skirt and a long jacket.
Well the obvious choice would be Chrystia Freeland. But would you consider her to be a bullshit choice?
As I understand it, because she is the Deputy PM, she wouldn't be allowed to replace Trudeau unless she lost her position first, which would basically mean the Liberals would have to lose government this next election. Only afterwards could she possibly run for party leader afterwards.
