I don’t think she could win the leadership, her riding and or the general election. It’s too bad because she is what that party needs to rebuild.

Unlike others in the political space, though, smart enough to jump in clearly with a correction.
While many of the commentariat seem intrigued with Clark, a number also say we don't know if her French is good enough to make a national go of it yet. She's apparently taking lessons, but we'll see.
This keeps up, the party's going to be like the Marie Celeste.

Thats a shame. I think she would have done well for the LPC, as she demonstrated more statesmanship and political aptitude than any of the potential replacements.
Then again, she was cooked by design when she was shuffled off to Treasury from Defence.

Age. This is his only shot. And he will be PM if not for a short time assuming he wins the nod from the party.

PM for a few weeks…
Right. And think of the information he’ll have access to and the things he’ll be briefed on. For someone in his position that’s invaluable.
I already ticked the “puke in mouth” box this week, so simmer down, you.

You know that and I know that. But is the Tory brain trust able to shift gears? I don’t know.

Sure. Me as a joke candidate promising five years of inaction, obfuscation and petty name calling like "nananana boo boo".

Tin Foil Hat on:
No one seems to want to take on the LPC leadership, except one fairly new immigrant MP who had an argument with another Liberal Indo MP (shades of politics in India)
Clark may be a unfortunate loss to the leadership run as a result of her shidt happens moment.
Carney, the CPC fav may or may not run. He would have to disclose all his assets, businesses, etc. Does he want to do that? As noted above, even being the PM for a very short time, look at the info he gets. Then gets richer. Note: he holds three passports incl Cdn. MP's should be forced to only have Cdn passports while in office.
Freeland, popular with Liberal MP's, no one else.
Thus, no ideal candidate for the LPC.
Trudeau, there is nobody in the world as great as me, thus I withdraw my resignation.
The LPC ceases to exist after the election.

So, Anita Anand has stated that not only is she not running for the leadership of the Liberal Party, but will not be seeking re-election when ever that happens. And it appears that Melanie Joly will not run for the top spot either,.

Sifting through the immediate post-Freeland space, I see I missed some of my Sun Tzu “know thine enemy” insight.
This from Gerry Butts, shortly after Team Trudeau-Freeland melted down. I’ll only obliquely muse about the irony and richness of Gerry’s perspective…

Mark Carney is the Team Trudeau candidate. His campaign is being run by Butts, Telford, et al. - the ones who had to resign due to scandal, or who have been implicated in multiple scandals. The ones who reduced the Liberal Party to 16 per cent.
Carney = Trudeau.

A wonderfully terrifying summary of the disastrous Trudeau legacy...
Kevin O’Leary doesn’t mince words in his latest interview: “Trudeau’s legacy will be that of the idiot king... wiping out 41% of Canadians’ net worth through their currency.” O’Leary blames Trudeau’s leadership—and his advisor Gerald Butts—for what he calls “financial malfeasance,” citing Canada’s collapse across every economic metric, from GDP growth to foreign investment. Looking ahead, O’Leary warns the next leader faces “Dante’s Hell” in rebuilding Canada. Hear his take on Trudeau, Canada’s future, and his fight to stop “more of the same.”
