Nope.

Trudeau is primarily in his own authority. It's unlikely the Liberals will win the next election with him at the helm, regardless of the electoral system we have.

His time is basically done, and he knows it. Reform wouldn't extend his leadership or power by any significant amount, so he doesn't fucking care.

I was hoping that his ego would lead him to introduce real reform so he would go down in history with Tommy Douglas and others as an architect of the nation, but it feels like the party won't give him that much rope.

If he does, he'll almost certainly introduce AV which is little more than a variant of FPTP, and won't help us much at all.
