Yeah, they'll probably just parachute him into an Alberta riding. We're not rid of him yet.

I'm not sure that I can remember that being done for any leader at the federal level in the past 50 years or so. We'll have to wait and see.

Even if that's how it goes, I think his days are numbered. There's 100% a couple of rivals in dark rooms right now, calling around trying to get the numbers to oust him as leader. Whether they'll be successful, I don't know, but this is such a dramatic snatch of defeat from the jaws of victory. It's only been a couple of months since the Conservatives were 30 points up. That can't all be blamed on Poilievre, but there will be those within the party who will. Party unity will be shot.

Houston is channelling an old switchboard operator today. I'd put money on it.
