    The new PM will call an election before giving any party the chance to vote them down.

      I don’t see what they would gain by doing that. The slim chance of staying in government until the fall is super valuable to the Liberals, giving the ability to get the new leader’s name out there and to prove that they can handle Trump.

      Edit: Yesterday the NDP said that they’re no longer committing to bring down the government so I feel like the Liberals have more of a reason not to drop the writ. That being said, Carney said he’d be willing to call an election once he’s sworn in. So we’ll see

        Cause if they don’t the rhetoric from the CPC will be unending. My guess is an election will be called in the next week before March 24. Plus Carney needs a seat in parliament.

        The Liberal’s odds RIGHT NOW (h/t John Goblikon) are better than they have been in years. There’s no guarantee they will get better still in six months, they could easily tank again.
