Both deals will stand. Fellow Tories that I'm acquainted with know what we have to do and the leadership process is already underway. On a personal note, I expected to lose even if I hoped we could turn it around in the campaign. All the serious potential leadership contenders have said we need a more optimistic tone and less confrontational media style, and agree that policy fundamentals are fine.

Party has made clear that Mulcair can stay if he wants. There's a leadership review next spring, but he'd cruise.

He hasn't said anything yet. Everyone speaking on and off the record is saying he can stay and anyone who pushes will be "quite publicly slapped." Considering who lost, there aren't many surviving contenders. The precedent might be Howard Hampton, who got squashed by flash polarization in 1999 and 2003 but stayed as leader until 2009.

Finley running for interim. She should be the consensus choice. Clement's considering the permanent leadership and presumably she consulted with Nicholson, the only other plausible choice. Ideally convention held within a year so next fall we're back in business.

Excellent Hebert column on the referendum's 20th anniversary today. Highly recommend her and Lapierre's The Morning After.

Star revealed some senior portfolios: Goodale as DPM/House Leader, Brison at Finance, Dion at Environment, Freeland at Foreign Affairs or International Trade. Vaughan and Bennett won't make it.

More than that: he proposed eliminating capital gains taxes 4 years ago. But he'll follow the Grit pattern of other Blue finance ministers who served under Red PMs...

Robert Falcon-Ouelette won't be in it.

Goodale doesn't go back to Finance. Sean Casey gets Justice.

Will Trudeau loosen the PMO reins? Believe if seen.

No surprise that Trudeau shrunk from pink slips and running shoes, at least so far.
