2026: Will It Be Good Or Bad For Pierre?

For once, I won't tell you what I expect will happen. Instead, I'll lay out a couple of political scenarios and let you call it.

Why hasn't the trickle of CPC floor crossers continued? Sure, it's the holidays, but the Liberals were building quite a head of steam with that. And then suddenly, poof, nothing. Does this mean that it's the end, or have the Liberals paused for strategic reasons? You be the judge.

What will happen at the leadership review? Will Pierre receive a strong endorsement, or will his number not live up to previous expectations? I'm going with 97%, given the delegate selection process, which likely produced very few fifth columnists. LOL. Most, if not almost all, will be enthusiastic for Pierre. What number are you expecting?

What can we expect come the month of February? Will we see more Liberal stunts, or will they be concentrating on seducing one more MP?

In any event, post the leadership review vote, Pierre will have to be at his best, strategically speaking, to outwit the Carney strategists. Are the Liberals still leaning toward a spring election, or will they wait for the opposition parties to try to oust them, probably in the fall?

Only God knows what politics has in store for Pierre this year. I note with interest that the last two polls have the Liberals leading by only two to three percentage points. That either indicates that their support is softening, or you could look at it from the point of view that we are no longer tied with them. Take your pick. I've got no idea what those numbers really mean. Stay tuned!
