At an event in Toronto, Chrystia Freeland, the MP for University–Rosedale, Ont., and former deputy prime minister and finance minister, launches her bid for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. Following the event, she responds to questions from reporters.
While I think she’s a strong candidate, I don’t think she stands a hope in hell of defeating PP in 2025. She’s “too close to Trudeau” and a woman, in a time when right wing voters and misogyny seem to be on the rise
They need to be thinking and planning for 2029. She might be able to pull it off then, I’d the liberals don’t get totally smashed in 2025, she’s a smart leader of the official opposition and she has a good PR team behind her.
I’d be curious if any of them actually believe they can turn the dissatisfaction around now that Trudeau is gone and win the next election. I’d love it if they or the NDP can, but I really wonder if even they think they can in 2025.

The NDP need a new leader too. Singh has the charisma of week old fish.
