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-up7·9 hours agoThe polls have clearly shown that Carney as the perceived front runner is crushing the conservatives lead
minus-square60d@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·19 hours 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-up3·18 hours agoHe doesn’t have a seat so I think an election will be called asap so he can get a seat.
minus-squareCircaV@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·47 minutes 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.

minus-squareCircaV@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 hours agoI think all senate appointments are full. My guess is there will be an election called March 10.
