17. Parliament is pro-rogued into March, which means no non-confidences until then, hence no election call until then

When Parliament meets in March, expect the non-confidence vote then unless the Liberals call the election the day before or something. The optics are not a problem, but you are right in that the Liberals will be scrambling to choose a leader and then campaigning.

Liberals have just enough time for leadership race and then the election call will probably be on the longer side of such things (say seven weeks instead of four) so that the new Liberal leader has time to get better known by the electorate.

Pierre Axe the Tax Poilievre was hoping for an election now against Trudeau. His sloganeering and hiding of his anti-climate agenda has been focused for the last couple of years all on personalizing attacks against Trudeau. He will now have to come up with real policy while there is no personal target in front of him and then begin again vilifying a new target.
