There’s other options too. Among them: a massive swing away from corporate smell along with popular pro-labor rhetoric and actions; electoral reform without stepping down; Jagmeet introducing electoral reform in the current parliament, Trudeau supporting it, etc.
a massive swing away from corporate smell along with popular pro-labor rhetoric and actions
Corporations - which are already pretty damned conservative - will back the CPC with ten times the money if this happens. It would be lovely, but would guarantee a Poilievre win.
electoral reform without stepping down
That will prevent the CPC (or anyone else) from securing a majority in the next election, but I don’t think it’ll win the election for him.
Jagmeet introducing electoral reform in the current parliament, Trudeau supporting it
Ah, now that’s interesting! I like this one quite a bit.
At the end of the day, I honestly don’t believe Trudeau can win another election under any reasonable circumstances. The best he can do is stack the deck in the party’s favour, and then step down.

I doubt it’ll work. There are significant limits to political spending. Corpos can’t fund political campaigns directly and there isn’t an easy or unlimited way to do it indirectly. It’s gotta go via individuals and the limits there are small. The cons will get more but I don’t think it’ll be dramatically more.

Yes.

In the current status quo probably true. Who knows what could happen with PP till the election. Perhaps something unreasonable would come out. 😅

I like 'em, but I’m not convinced.
