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.

The Greens are also full of crazy people, and very inconsistent from member to member. Greens run the gamut of “We need to stop climate change while also helping the poor”, to “Vaccines are evil, you need to sun your yoni instead, and 9/11 was an inside job that also never happened”.

Even if they can stop having negative headlines, they would need a constant platform and candidate vetting process to get my vote again.
