Maybe Gregory Gurvera will run again on an Ottawexit and to build the Ottowall. He also has no chance of winning, but I’m sure his plan to print money and give everyone a "government job" which for somehow he thinks are easy and cushy will work great for the Ottawa Economy.
Jokes aside, I’m not Canadian, and the Canadian talking heads my friends recommend all seem to talk about America way more than Canada, which makes me not trust them much at all, so not only am I low information, I’m going to be hypocritical and give my take despite not being Canadian, albeit someone with weak ties to Canadians via distant family and some travels a while ago (Both of which by no means gives me much qualification, but perhaps is worth more than being completely ignorant.).
Canada could use a unifying leader like Wilfrid Laurier or Lester Pearson, but I don’t see a person of their caliber at an international media level. If there isn’t a leader that is actually that good, and it doesn’t sound like there is, the best thing to do may actually be to find the one who’s most like to win, and care (At least for their own self interest) what their constituents think and act upon it. If there was enough grassroots support, it may motivate them to act as they should, though the cynic in me says it wouldn’t work either due to a lack of public pressure or for any number of other reasons. Ultimately it comes down to the Canadian people to hold their government accountable, which is easier said than done: They’ve certainly done a better job at it then the countries where I have resided, if that’s any consolation.
