As questions loom over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership, a new Nanos Research poll commissioned for CTV News says a quarter of Canadians say none of the potential Liberal leadership candidates appeal to them.

The survey offered people a selection of potential candidates to lead the party, including the current leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and a range of cabinet ministers and other high-profile Canadians. Of those polled, most selected “none of the above.”

The poll also found that among those surveyed, former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney is the most appealing leadership candidate with 18 per cent support, followed by Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland who are tied at 11 per cent.

Carney is currently serving as the Liberal party’s economic advisor and has said he plans to enter elected politics but won’t say when or what job he wants.

And a new direction. An unapologetically pro-worker direction.

The NDP are really what I think most people want right now, many just don’t know them well enough to realize it. However, some will vote Conservative to keep the Liberals from gaining control, and others will vote Liberal to keep Conservatives from gaining control, and the NDP will continue to be a “third party”.

At first I read your comment as “An unapologetically pro-wrestler direction.” And it sounded awesome

A factory worker would probably make better wrestler than an exec, so you might not be too far off. 😂
