Earskins best move is to stay a MP and support the LPC.

He and the current PM are not chummy..... at all.

Nate already ready qualifies for an MP pension (at age 65), he's only 41; I don't know how long he wants to stick out being a back bencher.

As expected, Nate is formally challenging the result.

For context, he claimed that 34 more votes than attendees were cast. He also claims that Amazon orders were used as proof of ID for voting purposes.

Not saying that any of this is true but with all the hooplah surrounding the Liberal Nomination in SSW I would not be surprised. There was a significant push to prevent him from being the candidate in the riding.

If the allgeations are proven true, it will only bolster his campaign and sour the OLP in the eyes of the public.
 
I'm not very familiar with NES. Can someone give me a quick explanation of why there are so many ruffled feathers around this guy? He has friction with the federal leadership, OLP is seemingly going out of their way to shut him down as well. Why?

Martin Regg Cohn in the Star has also written a couple of anti Nate articles.

I really like him as my MP: he is thoughtful, and accessible.

However, I suspect that he comes across as not a team player; he very much seems to believe in holding to one's own conviction (e.g. he was critical of aspects of the recent Federal budget)

That's something that can be fixed. Support the PM's mission. Don't be a dick.

Carney is twenty years older than Nate, and likely won't be PM into the mid 2030s. Back benchers, especially those from the governing party can do good work for their constituents. OTOH, there is no benefit or glamor in becoming the leader of the OLP, which will continue to flounder into the next provincial election.

If I was Nate I would concede, remain a MP, dedicate yourself to the PM's mission and watch while the next OLP leader gets absolutely smoked in the next ON election. And then, consider running for OLP leader to replace that loser.
