He lost a winnable election and even lost his own riding but important people including the culprit himself think he should remain as leader?

“A Financial Times analysis of more than 350,000 posts on X related to the election, gathered since the snap poll was announced in March, revealed a network of co-ordinated accounts pushing content to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish his counterpart, the Liberal’s Mark Carney.”

Certain partisans have been citing Canada's performance on per capita GDP as evidence of a supposed 'lost decade' and economic mismanagement. In @irpp.org's Policy Options, I deconstruct this arbitrary and misleading statistic, in two parts. #cdnecon #cdnpoli. /2

Federal Conservatives have formed three majority (and three minority) governments in the last 63 years. The Liberals had seven majority and six minority govts. Federally we’re Red for better or worse

The problem isn’t Trudeau; it’s that prime ministers have too much power
