I’ve seen enough politics over the years to know when something’s being planned behind the scenes. When a certain cabinet minister stepped down recently, it didn’t look like a resignation to me—it looked like a setup for something bigger. Sure enough, now they’re stepping into the race to lead the Liberals.

In my opinion, this isn’t the fresh start they’re trying to sell. This candidate was part of Trudeau’s team for years, and I don’t see how they’ll be much different. It feels like we’re getting the same ideas with a new face, and I don’t believe it’ll fix the issues we’re facing as a country.

They might be smart about timing and strategy, but leadership is about more than playing politics. From where I stand, this isn’t the change Canadians need. Just my two cents, but I think we’re looking at more of the same.
