He is staying till a new leader is picking, but he can't stay 2 years as a lame duck. Should resign and name an interim.

Earl: Sure, not my party. Tongue Ashton's all but declared already. Cullen will probably run, maybe Angus. Boulerice stays as QC lieutenant.

Megan Leslie not running, unsurprisingly.

Logistics, money, needing a break. Money could be complicated if Federal Court rules certain MPs have to pay out of pocket for that expense issue.

So if that holds: Ashton, Julian, maybe Angus or Boulerice.

KOK: Didn't say he'd win.

Dewar doesn't sound interested.


Jen Gerson thinks there are decent odds of an ANDP UDI, though that would be messy legally and involves serious money.

No.

Notley says she'll remain associated with the federal party.

Caron not ruling out a run. Also, executive won't hold their first leadership meeting till May.

A lot in this CP story. Davies thinks Mulcair should leave sooner rather than later, Boulerice thinks he should stay as long as necessary. Dusseault undecided. Julian hasn't thought about a bid, Boulerice needs time to talk about it with family and colleagues. Party insiders suggest the race won't last longer than 18 months.

Mulcair thought he had strong support before the vote. Boulerice said he sensed erosion in recent weeks, but the numbers were still surprising.

I kind of wish Mulcair would run. We haven't had that kind of leadership convention in a long time and I think it would be entertaining.

Pulling a Dief would be quite psychodramatic, admittedly. Tongue

Because John Diefenbaker tried that 50 years ago, and you had the pathetic spectacle of an incumbent leader and former PM being in 5th on the first ballot. More recently, Preston Manning and Stockwell Day got crushed when they ran to succeed themselves.

Mulcair confirmed caucus supports him as lame-duck leader in a post-caucus scrum ATM.

Mulcair just said on Power Play that the race will be about a year, give or take a couple of months.

No. Pearson, Diefenbaker, King were all unilingual, and the situation regarding bilingualism was completely different. Liberals had Quebec lieutenants (or as deputy PM in Lapointe's case) to run Quebec issues for them.

OLA was a symptom, not the cause, as Adam pointed out. The linguistic onus shifted from Francophones to Anglophones. As for the topic at hand, REB running for leader is silly for reasons DL mentioned. Boulerice will likely be our province's candidate.

Dewar says he's not considering a bid. Dippers, any idea when the party executive will meet?

Crap fundraising creating pressure for an early convention. Executive convenes on the 15th.
