    I think Freeland has a good head on her shoulders, and I hope she enters the race if only to hear her ideas, but Carney has the electoral advantage of having nothing to do with the Trudeau government.

      I don’t dislike her, but I don’t think she has any chance of forming a government or becoming the opposition.

        I think you’re probably correct - she’s got a lot of baggage simply by virtue of having served in the government.

        Nonetheless, I think it would be good for the party to have a serious leadership race with at least a couple of legitimate contenders.

        Maybe, but he didn’t have anything to do with this carbon tax, and his Jon Stewart interview seemed to hint that he feels some changes might be in order there.
