That was after Justin’s father Pierre resigned. History is repeating. The LPC lost badly under Turner in the next election - Cross your fingers.
minus-squareThepotholeman@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·3 days agoThe polls have clearly shown that Carney as the perceived front runner is crushing the conservatives lead
minus-square60d@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·4 days agoI don’t know if they’ll force a general election right away, but it would be wise for Carney to seek a mandate.
minus-squareCircaV@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 days agoHe doesn’t have a seat so I think an election will be called asap so he can get a seat.
minus-squareJerkface (any/all)@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoAny Senate appointments available right now? PM can rule from Senate.
minus-squareCircaV@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoI think all senate appointments are full. My guess is there will be an election called March 10.
minus-squareCircaV@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 days agoNo not a requirement, he can be PM without a seat - but it’s very unusual. There will be a general election called soon. He’ll get a seat.
