This week, Sen. Percy Downe went public with his views amid a downward trend in the polls, economic unease and rumour mills churning about potential Liberal leadership contenders readying to replace him.

In a radio interview on The Vassy Kapelos Show Thursday, Downe said he's hearing from "many members of the caucus" who are concerned and consider the time between now and February as critical for the party to conduct some internal soul-searching about the best path forward.

"It's quite widespread," Downe said. When asked why no other Liberals have said publicly what he claims they've communicated privately, the senator said they can't for a range of reasons, including the fact that the party leader signs their nomination forms.

Savage comment but a good one. Reminds of his father who famously said "watch me" when asked about deploying the War Measures Act.

Trudeau has done a great job as PM.

Bitcoin Millhouse will be a weak version of Harper and he'll continue the Conservative tradition of hurting Canadians at the benefit of his supporters.

Have we already forgotten all the scandals from the Harper Government?? There's a reason we gave Trudeau a majority after Harper.

I'm good with another minority government with Liberals at the helm since NDP are pretty stagnant as well. Pierre Poilievre is garbage and hopefully another Conservative loss would force that party to split back up.
