Someone will eventually succeed Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader. Here’s what Canadians told a pollster about some of the potential contenders
OTTAWA — Of a slate of potential Liberal leadership contenders largely unknown to the public, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is the most prominent in a hypothetical race with no obvious front-runner, a new poll suggests.
The recent survey by Abacus Data asked 1,500 respondents about their impressions of seven “possible Liberal leadership candidates” to one day succeed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The respondents were asked who they would prefer to see replace Trudeau as Liberal leader if he announced he was not going to run again.
