Most Canadians who plan on voting for the Liberal party are more motivated to stop the Conservatives from winning the election rather than endorsing the party's vision and leader, according to a new poll released on Monday.

This is also why the one thing Trudeau could do to make me respect him would be say, "I'm stepping down as leader. My last act as PM is to roll out legitimate proportional representation."

The Liberals are probably not going to win the next election no matter what; but legitimate reform would mean an end to autocratic majorities.

He'd face a full caucus revolt if he tried. I'd expect the Liberals would prefer to lose a vote of confidence than implement PR.

Honestly, I think they'd also rather lose than implement anything remotely economically progressive.
