Not burning quickly enough:
The Liberal Party last night lost a byelection Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called “an important moment” for Canada. Montréalers voted Bloc Québécois in a once-safe Liberal seat: “I can’t wait for the conversations we’re having in LaSalle-Émard-Verdun.”
One might even think that there is a pattern.

Results came in exceptionally slowly due to a record-long ballot, which is a repeat of a protest stunt by the same voting-reform group that kept the counting in Toronto—St. Paul’s byelection in June going into the early hours of the morning.
The voter turnout was about 40 per cent.
Attribute this to voters who know that elections are not a matter of choosing the best statesmen but ending up with the least obnoxious nag in the stable. If nothing, this by-election and the one in Manitoba served as a repudiation of Justin and his arrogance, even if the result was ensconcing a country-separating candidate in the place of a Liberal.

This:
Would-be-candidates in the riding,had already done the work of knocking on doors and signing up new members, only to find they wouldn’t be given a chance to run. Reportedly, they were “shocked” by Trudeau’s undemocratic move of bypassing the nomination process. They shouldn’t have been. This is a man who has turned the government of Canada, not just the Liberal party, into a vehicle for his own ego, tossing allies overboard whenever it suits him.
This cannot be emphasised enough.
No one voted for Justin. He was installed.
Justin has been groomed to be a mincing autocrat who has never heard the word no.
He will take this loss personally but he will never - as real leaders would do - consider that he is the problem and resign.
If he will not go down in flames, he will form a coalition.
The good of the country never entered into anything.
