Yep, except when was the last time the prime minister of Canada wasn't the party leader of the party invited to form a government after a federal election? Saying that Pierre Poilievre isn't the CPC front runner when polling indicates that the LPC is down in the polls, and we have an as yet undeclared election coming up is disingenuous. No, Canadians don't elect the Prime Minister, and yes it is most likely that one of Trudeau or Poilievre will form a government after the next election, unless Trudeau steps down before or during the campaign starts.

> Saying that Pierre Poilievre isn't the CPC front runner Poilievre îs already the leader of the CPC. It would be quite odd to call him the front runner there when there is currently no race being run. And there is never a race for the Prime Minister's position. If that was what "front runner" was in reference to, that would be nonsensical. The only race Poilievre is likely to run any time soon, at least within the context of political races, is for the MP's position in the Carleton riding. I expect he really is bound to be the front runner there, but unless you live in said riding, he is of no relevance.
