Delorey: Could Danielle Smith’s Victory Be Trudeau’s Gain?
There’s a Shakespearean plot twist here: Notley’s win, paradoxically, could have been Trudeau’s fall. Enter Pierre Poilievre, the relentless conservative champion, who, with a Notley win, would have found a new political punching bag. Trudeau would have been invariably entangled in the Notley-Poilievre duel, with every mistake of Notley’s striking him as a ricochet.
It’s not all cloudy skies for Poilievre, though. Amidst the predominantly conservative provincial administration, he finds few kindred spirits save Smith, and possibly Scott Moe. While the majority of conservative premiers veer towards a moderate progressiveness, Poilievre and Smith are outliers, aligning with a far-right populism that spurns moderate governance.
This is the nature of politics — it's an endlessly rotating kaleidoscope, a chess match played across the vast expanses of provinces, a spectacle in which even the best-laid plans can unravel. But in this game, Trudeau seems to have a keen eye for potential traps and the agility to sidestep pitfalls, all while setting his own for the opposing side.In the grand tapestry of this nation, Trudeau’s tactical acumen is a significant thread.
In essence, the stakes are higher than ever, and all eyes will be on Poilievre and Smith. Will they falter under pressure, or will they take a page out of Trudeau's book and turn potential weaknesses into strengths?
