    I think Freeland has a good head on her shoulders, and I hope she enters the race if only to hear her ideas, but Carney has the electoral advantage of having nothing to do with the Trudeau government.

      I don’t dislike her, but I don’t think she has any chance of forming a government or becoming the opposition.

        I think you’re probably correct - she’s got a lot of baggage simply by virtue of having served in the government.

        Nonetheless, I think it would be good for the party to have a serious leadership race with at least a couple of legitimate contenders.

          Party outsider with strong financial background, executive experience, and he’s going to be against two very unpopular party leaders.

          Yeah, I think he’s got a shot.

        Maybe, but he didn’t have anything to do with this carbon tax, and his Jon Stewart interview seemed to hint that he feels some changes might be in order there.
