The federal Conservative leader is saying that Canada needs change. The Ontario premier is saying that Poilievre needs to change his campaign team. It is a remarkable feature in an already remarkable Canadian election campaign, this public airing of differences between Poilievre and Ford.

One of the more searing images of the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign came during the debate when Donald Trump kept lurking behind Hillary Clinton on stage. Clinton, who lost that election, would recall later in her book that she found it “incredibly uncomfortable,” and considered telling Trump: “Back up, you creep.”This week, Trump gets a chance to reprise that appearance — metaphorically — when he will be a lurking presence during the two big leaders’ debates in the Canadian election.
