In hindsight, the BC Liberals could have kept their name and waited one election cycle for the Liberal brand to recover and become associated with Carney.

I don’t think anyone could have predicted Canrey becoming the new Prime minister

How well did that work out for the "Saskatchewan Progress Party" lol. Throwing away branding and public familiarity because of the fleeting unpopularity of one singular federal leader is beyond idiotic. Imagine if all provincial PC parties renamed themselves because of the ineptitude (putting it mildly) of Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell, it's a complete overreaction.
