I have a feeling it will be Iggy or Rae, or maybe Justin Trudeau.
143 is small enough he can't poach enough MPs to put together a majority, but large enough that he could pull a Joe Clark. Similar to Bush's pronouncement in 2004 that he had a mandate, that he earned his political capital and that he intended to use it. Taking note of a mandate that doesn't really exist is a very dangerous thing.
