As much as I'd like to see a Liberals minority as our next gov, I also think that for the longer term health of Canada, a slim Conservative minority gov would actually be better, with the requirement that the Cons does something repulsive enough some time during its term to really piss off Canadians. And then the opposition parties vote down the gov in a non-confidence vote, and we head for an early election again.
The problem is -- if the Cons doesn't get a win right now, PeePee is still going to stick around as the Cons leader for at least the next round of election, if not longer. With Trump as POTUS in the next 4 years, the times are going to be difficult not matter who becomes our PM, and Canadian voters will very likely put at least some of that blame towards the next PM, regardless of whether it is justified or not. If PeePee loses the next next election, then there is a pretty good chance he would have to resign as the party leader. If the Libs can somehow manage to form a minority gov, PeePee is just gonna stick around and become even more emboldened to make another run for the Prime Ministership.
