Now that Trudeau's out, who'll replace him?
01/09/25 • 56 min
This week on The Numbers, we discuss the impact of Justin Trudeau’s resignation as prime minister and Liberal leader, as well as the early moves in the contest to replace him. What do the polls say about the chances his successor will have against Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives?
And who will that successor be? We hold an auction to choose our picks for the most likely winners of the Liberal leadership race.

Predicting politics in 2025
It’s that time of year again!
Time for us to match wits as we try to predict the political year to come. How many seats will the Conservatives win in the next federal election? Will the Liberals’ vote share be above or below the historic low set in 2011? How many leaders will resign on election night?
And who made the best predictions for 2024?
In addition to taking out the crystal ball for the federal campaign, we also make some guesses about what to expect in provincial elections in Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador and in politics across the country!
