Well the obvious choice would be Chrystia Freeland. But would you consider her to be a bullshit choice?

What I mean to say is not that the LPC's choice for leader would be bullshit, but that, whatever their choice is, it's hard to imagine how they would be able to credibly separate themselves from what has made the LPC so unpopular.

So for that reason, I'm not sure why Freeland would be the obvious choice. If the Liberals want to win a federal election, I think she'd be a poor choice for party leader. Any barbs that could be directed at Trudeau could be easily directed at Freeland. From an optics standpoint, I don't think it's possible to differentiate Freeland from Trudeau, and the Liberal party of the past decade. That's a problem that I think would override who she is or her credentials, at least in the public eye.

Freeland is incredibly capable - but can be tied, hand in glove, with everything Trudeau. Actually, the current joke is that Trudeau doesn't even do any work as PM, he just gives it to Freeland.

PP is going 'young, hip' - maybe they could use Fraser as the next PM candidate.

Such a laughable turn. I think it's a marker that literally anybody could be in his shoes, doing and saying anything at all, and they'd be polling well.

Yep. Liberals are zugzwanged.
