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.

The cons have been campaigning against Trudeau directly since the "nice hair" commercials so many years ago.

We need this guy. He's perfectly mundane, seems to dodge tan-suit controversy like Muhammad Ali, and, most importantly, he's taught kids: nothing better prepares someone to handle elitist flacks like Bitcoin Milhouse than elementary school.

And he's the perfect filter for the NDP's feel-good plan of the moment -- a bidirectional filter. Mr Singh can propose something, WaterHole can resist and then dramatically give in, cons hate Justin, Orange hates Justin, Bleu always hates Justin, greens hate Justin; Canada hates Justin, and Justin doesn't care.

As a punching bag that holds the status quo in tough times against 4 flavours of snowflake? Chef's kiss perfectly suited.

Conservatories: "He's just not ready"

Also conservatives: our current runner and the one previous are both the same age (or younger) than the guy who we said wasn't ready.

Conservative voters: Blue good!
