I was already in favor of Trudeau stepping aside to let someone else run, but this has convinced me even more that this is the right direction for the Liberals. It would instantly invalidate the years worth of vitriol the conservatives have fomented towards Trudeau personally (see the "fuck Trudeau" merch) and send them scrambling to drum up the same amount of baseless hate towards whoever runs in his place. Personally, I think this is the best play the Liberals have, and a masterful way to make the Cons look like they have no platform other than outrage.
Strategically, I think the Liberals should be waiting until as close as possible to the election call. It stops the conservatives having time to pivot to a campaign strategy that isn't "Trudeau Bad"
I think doing it that way would depend on who becomes leader of the party after JT. If they pull someone who doesn't have a history within the party, then it nulls PP's ability to play his stupid game.
That is why I still think Mark Carney would be a great choice.
