FULL COMMENT PODCAST: Lilley and Kinsella on Trudeau’s possible successors
The pickings are worse than slim, but there may be one or two who can offer the Liberals a new ruler with some real royal jelly

Chrystia Freeland talks like a patronizing schoolmarm. Mark Carney comes off like a visiting aristocrat. Yet the federal Liberals will face a reckoning sooner or later, and they’ll eventually need someone to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Having turned his party into a suppressive cult of personality, however, Trudeau has thwarted the rise of any real heirs or heiresses apparent. This week, Brian Lilley and former Liberal strategist Warren Kinsella feverishly scour our list of rumoured contenders for a would-be leader to rebuild from the wreckage when Trudeau’s reckoning finally comes. The pickings are worse than slim, but there may be one or two with just enough brains, charm and non-radioactivity to offer the Liberals a new ruler with some real royal jelly. (Recorded July 30, 2024.)
