Or resurrect Ralph Klein, I'm sure most of his skin hasn't decayed completely yet.

If the liberals stay in power i'd say about 10 years, if the conservatives get into power probably like 15.

Yes, because there is no Canadian left.

Scheer stepping down and making way for a competent leader probably hurts the chances of any real left in Canada, as the liberals will just be reinforced as the "left option" against whatever "right option" comes out of this. If Scheer stayed on and dragged the CPC to utter irrelevancy, the liberals wouldn't have anyone notable right of themselves to positions themselves as "the left option", and a true left option could arise to challenge them. But this is hell world so it will be Trudeau vs Harper as we circle further down the drain.

I didn't think anyone thought Scheer was going to be sticking around anyways? The dude is a joke candidate who got put in charge by accident, the Conservatives are actual monsters but they're not stupid enough to think that they should keep him on as leader.

trudeau's election team, assuming some of them are still the same people from the OLP, are really good at pulling out elections although you have to wonder about their record given who they're up against most the time.

Yeah people need to remember that the majority of reporting on politics comes from people who worked in politics or will work in politics, and the discussions of how "campaigns matter" are not necessarily all that different than how every major newspaper always has people from the real estate industry writing columns on how home prices will only ever increase and its a great time to buy in. Reporters have an incentive to encourage people to think that campaigns are highly consequential and that good campaigns will best bad campaigns and that political outcomes are largely due to the strategic decisions of the winner or, at least, the mistakes of the loser. Plenty of empirical research suggests that political contests are often random (except in cases where they are extremely lopsided and predetermined) and stuff like "was it raining on election day" or "how was the economy doing in the last few months immediately before the election" often seem to matter far more than anything that happens during a campaign. Yet the focus remains on campaigning because that justifies the amount of money that is spent on communications and consultants, and also because that justifies the excessive focus on horse race journalism in the media. With the OLP you can of course argue that they made some smart decisions that helped them win hard elections, but on the other hand when you really look at what was happening in Ontario you could just as easily invent a story where the OLP's success was mostly by default. The really significant change was actually within the Progressive Conservatives: when they adopted their one-person-one-vote system for choosing leaders in the 1980s it opened the door for a much more right-wing leader to take over and push out the Bill Davis era Red Tory moderates. That is how Mike Harris got into power - he was the candidate of the Conservative grassroots. Then, because all the polls put Harris in third place during the lead up to the 1995 election a lot of Conservative party veterans resigned and Harris had free reign to remake the party and its candidates in his image. He created a hard-right party which managed to win two elections before turning the entire province against it. They also roused a bunch of unions into becoming massively involved in spending money on anti-Conservative advertising campaigns. This wasn't something that anyone forced them to do - they didn't have to eliminate card check or go out of their way to antagonize teacher unions - but they did it anyway and paid the price for decades afterward. The Liberals, meanwhile, just happened to be in the right place to inherit the support of the big public sector and construction unions. They also had become well positioned to absorb the centrist voters who traditionally might have supported a centrist Tory government but who were turned off by the hard right policies of Harris (or the poorly thought out decision of John Tory in 2007 to advocate expanding support for faith based schooling). Perhaps their skillful campaigning - as well as numerous mistakes by the Conservatives - played a role in those elections. After all, the Conservatives did repeatedly start with large leads and then proceed to lose. From another perspective, though, you could really argue that the success of the liberals up until recently was mostly just the structural byproduct of the Progressive Conservative party getting pulled to the right and thus evacuating the centre ground. Most of the explanations for why that happened are probably demographic or come from large scale decade to decade changes in political subjectivity rather than being attributable to anything too context specific.

I’m so loving depressed these days I find myself thinking about suicide and it scares the hell out of me. Not thinking about doing it, not really, but I’m scared that if I don’t get better I might think about it more seriously. II’m angry and depressed and anxious. You ever read Matt Taibi’s The Divide? There’s an entire chapter about the stupidity and horror of nickel-and-diming people on benefits for peanuts while the rich keep getting away with millions.

I definitely think there's a strong lizard brain influence on happiness via fairness. Like the experiment where two monkeys were fine getting paid in cucumber slices to do some menial job but when one started getting paid in grape slices for the same thing, the other monkey lost its mind. Or a CEO getting a big bonus being mad someone else who didn't work as hard is getting the same bonus. Or people living in Toronto where they see rich people and have much more stuff are more depressed than equally poor people in nepalese villages or Saguenay, Qc.
