They are going to try the old Biden Harris switcheroo...

It's practically a Canadian tradition to swap out an unpopular party leader as either a sacrifice or a rebrand.

Weirdly enough, Biden.

Ugh, no.

The problem is that the LPC has little or no bench strength. Freeland was probably the best option and she's been Hillary'ed by the CPC and the right-wing media over the last four years. After her, the bench is very thin: O'Reagan's similarly tained, Carney is a corporate tool, Leblanc isn't far behind. It gets pretty thin after that. I think they're looking at another Dion/Ignatieff-style wasteland as they try to figure out how to find a leader who's cool and popular without worrying about them doing anything.

The NDP has it worse. They really should have kept Mulcair or selected Angus. They'd be in a much better place now, if they had, though even then the media would just try hard not to cover them, like they're doing with Stiles in Ontario, who is very good but doesn't get any airplay.

Bachrach has been doing some good things, like taking VIA home for Christmas to point out that passenger rail should have priority. He doesn't have the experience that Cullen did, but he's promising.
