It’s going to be interesting to see where the Liberals go after Trudeau, but I really hope they don’t just pick another centrist who plays it safe. Freeland has been a key part of Trudeau’s team, so I’m not sure she represents much of a change, and Carney’s background in banking makes me skeptical. Canada needs real action on affordability, wealth inequality, and climate change—whoever takes over has to actually deliver, not just talk a good game. The NDP has been pushing for stronger social programs, and if the Liberals want to keep progressive voters, they’ll need to step up. Hopefully, this leadership race sparks some real debate about the future of the country instead of just more of the same.
