I wouldn't count those chickens just yet. The situation feels very reminiscent of what happened when Trudeau's father stood down in 1984 with the party floundering in the polls.

Then again, I'm fairly certain that Ronald Reagan never threatened to annex Canada, so that might make all the difference this time.
