The Conservatives have a 16-point lead. Three-quarters of the country think it's time for a change. But Justin Trudeau is vowing to fight Pierre Poilievre in the next election.

Yeah that's the problem ... I don't think the Liberals will do anything against wealth or corporations because they're all invested in each other.

And all that needs to happen two months before the election is a huge conservative party marketing campaign 'Fuck Trudeau' bumper stickers and the country will usher in a conservative government with open arms.

Then everyone will spend five to ten years belly aching about it all and switch back to liberal again.

I'm an NDP supporter, always was and always will be, but unfortunately the country is way too short sighted and ignorant to ever want to change between red or blue which at this point in history much like the Americans, are two parties that are different only in name and colour.

You're absolutely right, it doesn't take a fortune teller to see it.

The best I can realistically expect is Trudeau will swing and miss on big changes next year like Ontario's former Premier Wynne, that Canadians will at least be able to look fondly on after the next conservative government entirely removes the programs or weakens them heavily.

It's more likely that we'll stick to the status quo and the Liberal party will scurry off into irrelevance for 4-10 years.
