Trudeau's readiness for the fight questioned.

As the Liberal Party of Canada holds its biennial convention, the question on everyone's mind is whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is ready for the fight against Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in the next election. While a new poll suggests a statistical tie between the two parties, negative trends below the surface indicate a likely Conservative win unless something changes. Despite accumulating his share of baggage, few Liberals are talking openly about ending the Trudeau era and starting fresh, as he remains a huge asset for the party. The convention offers future leadership aspirants a chance to expand their support base, while delegates will debate policy resolutions and strategize on pivoting a reactive policy agenda to a more proactive offer and an election platform.
