LPC leadership race - 2025

Blackadder has the definitive version of the rotten borough story.

I love the outright lies both sides tell. Talk about division - one side is no better than the other.

Both sides are cultish in their approaches.

His home town of Fort Smith might be up for grabs

It sounds like the current MP has a lot of ties and history in the local area compared to Carney just being born there. Makes sense to oust McLeod, and the Progressive Liberals likely won't object to this guy being replaced by a rich white banker.

I thought I heard he was not running again

I don't think the LPC handlers will allow that.



It sure didn't take LPC partisans to get their old arrogant swagger back again. That is what really pisses me off about these guys. They think that the LPC is Canada and all others do not have the right to have any say in the direction of the country.

If Carney wins the election I predict nothing will change in this country. No renewal of the Public Service, no real change in foreign and defence policy, a scattering of big project ideas that go into the perpetual study cesspool, and a continued control of government by a small cabal of UoT, McGill, and Harvard grads who are the great grand sons and daughters of Desmarais Group Executives!

But tell us how you really feel, Decks!

You're right. Looks like he said he wasn't running again back in July 2024. That works out well for him. Carney just has to talk about his roots, make some promises, and he's locked and loaded.

Fairly safe liberal seat as well.

I like boring competent managers a la Harper.

Carney would be that if not for his being another Butts/Telford/Chin meat puppet…

Rumour is that Marco Mendenccino is on deck to be his COS.

Ohh boy!

Took the words right out of my mouth!

A visible “so long and good luck” to the Telford crowd would probably be a help to Carney’s campaign.

Vocal about the misogyny and threats she faced during her time in government, she wants public safety officials to take these threats more seriously.

It's common courtesy. Something Canadians used to be well known for.
