With Trudeau's Liberals in trouble, is Mark Carney the answer? (www.ctvnews.ca)

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals remain deeply unpopular, currently trailing Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives by as many as 17 points in the polls, after more than a year of lagging behind.

If an election was held today, the Conservatives would likely trounce the Liberals and cruise to a majority government, with polling aggregator 338Canada projecting the Conservatives would win 212 seats, based on the current polling data. The Liberals would win just 74 seats.

A recent poll by Nanos Research, commissioned by CTV News, found only nine per cent of Canadians say Trudeau is the most politically appealing option for party leadership.

Those abysmal numbers, coupled with the stunning decision last weekend by U.S. President Joe Biden to end his re-election bid amid mounting concerns about his own viability as a candidate, have the Ottawa bubble abuzz with speculation: Is a major cabinet shuffle on the horizon? Could Trudeau walk away? If he does, who replaces him?

This isn't news. It might be an idea that CTV ownership would like to broadcast in the public space.

The Liberals have been handed a highly relevant and relatable example of how to comeback from being down big in an election from south of the border - I'm speaking of Kamala Harris, of course.

No one with half a brain would think that Canadians unimpressed with Trudeau would support Mark Carney and vote Liberal if he's on the ticket lol. But, see my first paragraph for why print this schlock in the first place
