This week, Sen. Percy Downe went public with his views amid a downward trend in the polls, economic unease and rumour mills churning about potential Liberal leadership contenders readying to replace him.

In a radio interview on The Vassy Kapelos Show Thursday, Downe said he’s hearing from “many members of the caucus” who are concerned and consider the time between now and February as critical for the party to conduct some internal soul-searching about the best path forward.

“It’s quite widespread,” Downe said. When asked why no other Liberals have said publicly what he claims they’ve communicated privately, the senator said they can’t for a range of reasons, including the fact that the party leader signs their nomination forms.

    Trudeau got very cocky… Like PCs did in Alberts when they’ve got their asses handed to them in 2015. Doesn’y change the fact that there’s no single politician fit for the post. He’s just the best of the worst and I bet he knows it. Electoral system should have been fixed as he promissed, that’s when we could’ve had a chance now - forcet it.
