Is Trudeau Still Going?

I'm torn. Like Warren said, all the signs are there, so the head logically expects Trudeau to go, eventually. But the gut still has its doubts. Instead of growing weaker, as in Kinsella's case, my feeling is growing stronger with each passing day that he plans to stick around. Sure, they're telegraphing a future run for all to see by LeBlanc, but will Dominic really rock the boat or push for a departure date? I don't think so. Wonder what his other best friend thinks. You know, Butts. (Mulcair also thinks Trudeau is leaving.)

To my surprise, the PM is up on the Palestinian file. He's engaged and well briefed, something we don't often see from him. He's committed to policy and defending this government. Again, does this still sound like a guy planning on leaving? And then there's the Poilièvre thing: does Trudeau still believe that he can take Pierre in an election campaign? If he does, why would he leave?

Mind you, Warren is a true politico and has all the interesting government and party contacts. Moi, not at all. But hey, don't strictly rule it in that it's an absolute cinch that Trudeau is going. Stranger things have already happened in politics.
