I mean the odds of winning or even frankly a respectable result in 2025 seem low but letting someone else fall on the sword and hoping to swoop in is also difficult.

Running in 2029 after PP has been in power for four years (dealing with the mess created by Trudeau) seems like a lot better odds than trying to run on Trudeau’s record in 2025. As I said last week, the window for a switcheroo was last year.
