I really thought Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would be preparing to step aside by now. Between plummeting poll numbers, challenges with policy implementation, and family pressures, it looked as if this fall would be a good time to take the figurative walk in the snow and move on from the leadership. It would allow a year for a leadership race and a year for a new leader to prepare to face the electorate.
