Liberal race sucked into Donald Trump’s ‘gravitational field,’ strategists say

Liberal leadership hopefuls are pivoting and responding to the attention-consuming existential threats to Canadian trade posed by U.S. President Donald Trump – a preview of what the next federal election is going to look like, according to Liberal strategists.

“There’s nothing usual about this race,” said Greg MacEachern of KAN Strategies.

From the very short timeline to the wild trade drama and the various characters involved, party leadership contests don’t normally play out like this one.

People will not forget or forgive the Liberal record under Trudeau. At best the Liberals may cannibalize NDP and green votes.
