The Liberals have been absolutely AWFUL since Trudeau became their 
leader. Swapping him out for Carney or Freeland (or any of the other 
contenders) will change NOTHING for the better. But somehow, the 
leadership campaign for Trudeau's replacement, has brought the Liberals 
back into contention, or so say the polls. It will be beyond appalling 
if the Liberals somehow seduce the electorate into giving them another 
majority (or even another minority with the likes of the NDP enabling 
them).
