As questions loom over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership, a new Nanos Research poll commissioned for CTV News says a quarter of Canadians say none of the potential Liberal leadership candidates appeal to them.
The survey offered people a selection of potential candidates to lead the party, including the current leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and a range of cabinet ministers and other high-profile Canadians. Of those polled, most selected “none of the above.”
The poll also found that among those surveyed, former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney is the most appealing leadership candidate with 18 per cent support, followed by Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland who are tied at 11 per cent.
Carney is currently serving as the Liberal party’s economic advisor and has said he plans to enter elected politics but won’t say when or what job he wants.
Part of this is our polticians don’t make enough effort to make their names known. It would be nice if they reached out more with what they want to propose and what they’ve been doing for Canadians.
I suspect the reason behind that is they are only allowed to speak publically when the party’s old boys’ network gives them permission. And that drives me f’ing bonkers.

Yeah it’s like they have no individual identity outside of their party
A real problem.
