Trudeau gazes upon a wasteland of Liberal leadership
Description
Chrystia Freeland talks like a patronizing schoolmarm. Mark Carney comes off like a visiting aristocrat. Yet, the federal Liberals face a reckoning sooner or later, and they’ll eventually need someone to replace Justin Trudeau. Having turned his party into a suppressive cult of personality, however, Trudeau has thwarted the rise of any real heirs or heiresses apparent. This week, Brian and former Liberal strategist Warren Kinsella feverishly scour our list of rumoured contenders for a would-be leader to rebuild from the wreckage when Trudeau’s reckoning finally comes. The pickings are worse than slim, but there may be one of two with just enough brains, charm and non-radioactivity to offer the Liberals a new ruler with some real royal jelly.
