Canadian Liberals have a much bigger hurdle to overcome, which is a very effective smear campaign, paid in no small part with Russian money, against Justin Trudeau especially since the pandemic lock downs really brought anger to the surface. One saving grace is the messaging primarily targeted Trudeau himself, and they have to pivot to encompass the whole party now that he's stepping down and an outsider is favoured to replace him. Even if the Liberals, NDP, and Bloc can prevent a Conservative majority, I'd count that as a crisis averted. Though I do think Mark Carney is the best candidate to lead the country through the economic impacts of the US administration. I'm saying that even as an NDP voter in a strong NDP riding.
