OTTAWA—The Liberal Party of Canada is in trouble. I am not burying them, as that would be foolish and fly in the face of history. They have historically been Canada’s perpetual Stanley Cup winner, but even great organizations need to shake it up from time to time to stay competitive. Right now, according to our most recent Abacus poll, the Liberals sit 20 points behind the Conservatives in the overall national standings.

Perhaps there is some magical spell that will take hold of Canadians following this week’s budget that will transform Liberal fortunes and put them back on track. Failing that, they are getting to a place where both the party and its leader—for the good of the organization—need to decide if they are going to stumble into an election walloping, or do something about it. Trudeau has done a lot of good for the Liberal Party and has earned the opportunity to write his own ticket.
