Intermission question for the Canadians...
Trudeau resigning is 'fairly' normal for your political process? It's **nothing** like Nixon resigning, right?
Fairly. Doesn’t happen often. No Nixon involved.
Usually happens when a Prime Minister looks at the polls and realizes he (or she) is going to lose.
And why not just wait until that point? Minimize lame duck period/not belabor the issue?
edit: The point of actually getting voted out that is.

Merci, for the crash course in 1.03% of the Canadian political process.

Depends if they give us all big, noisy trucks and bouncy castles.

Is what I’ve been saying. and He’s going to try it too. Some people here think we only need to hold out 2 years until the midterms. I suppress the urge to hit them upside the head.

Lol.
Was just like the Biden thing, but without the dementia. His party wanted him out.
And he steps down before getting voted out in the hopes his party can salvage some public favor?
