I don't think there's a good choice here but I think a majority is a necessity considering the turbulence we'll be facing in the next few years as Trump treats us like a real estate opportunity so my order is:
1. Lib Majority
2. Cons Majority
3. Lib Minority
I don't include a Cons minority as I don't think they'd be able to form a gov't - their policies are so far away from the Libs or Bloc that I'd expect the gov't to fall quickly.
I think the Liberals are a mess with a lot of debris that accumulates when parties are in power for a long time - Carney's going to have a big job finding capable new MPs and advisors but he should have a lot of pull to do that but it will take time. A minority gov't compromises him too much.
The Cons are just not a credible party - too much of their base are Trump supporters and they will not be able to defend us from Trump's attack. We're seeing that already - PP doesn't know what to say or do because he's trying to stay onboard with the Trump train but can't also defend Canada.
