Odds are stacked against the governing Liberals, making some MPs “nervous” and “uneasy” about the next election, but caucus members are vowing to go all-in against the federal Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre.
“We’ve got a year to turn it around. [It] means that the campaign is going to matter,” said four-term Liberal MP Sean Casey (Charlottetown, P.E.I.) in an interview with The Hill Times. “It means that people are completely disengaged. It means that we’re long in the tooth, and the political pendulum is swinging against us. … We can’t give up, and I owe it to the people I represent, we owe it to Canadians to keep plugging, to keep a positive message, and to keep working. I mean, I don’t know what the hell else you can do.”
