A bit of political drama north of the border.
As you may of heard, Donald Trump would like to see Wayne Gretzky, the world renowned hockey player, run for Prime Minister of Canada.
“I said, ‘Wayne, why don’t you run for prime minister of Canada, soon to be known as the governor of Canada — you would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.’"
He might be right. Gretzky, an NHL hall-of-famer-turned-entrepreneur and author, is a supporter of the Conservatives, and approval of the liberals under Trudeau is less than peachy:
To boot, Canadians generally don't approve of their party leaders, meaning Gretzky could have a fair shot at getting the nomination, provided a Pollievre resignation.
In the bargain, polling shows a pretty dismal outlook for the Liberals this time around.
"The CPC (43%) are currently doubling the Liberals (21%) and NDP (20%) in vote intention, as they have for most of 2024."
But could Conservatives win the two-thirds-majority needed to control the house under their beloved hockey all-star? Perhaps the more pertinent question is, could the fed-up-canucks 'draft Gretzky' into office?
His wife, Janet Gretzky, seems to think so.
What do you think, Stackers?
Can this be memed into existence? Would it be good for Bitcoin?
I think it could! Gretzky is a household name, a businessperson, and has been named Companion of the Order of Canada, the second-highest order for merit in Canada's system of imperial orders declarations and medals.
