Canada has no term limit. Leaders stay on until they have lost the support of their party.

Often that happens after a devastating election loss.

In this case it is happening because of his extreme unpopularity before the election and his parties hope of improving their election prospects under a different leader

Have they ever thought of implementing a term limit? I’m confused why they think that is not necessary.

Elections have a deadline after which a new election can be called, but there's no number of terms served that then stops a re-elected leader from taking office if they win another election. It's not the case that people can just stay in office without holding elections forever.

Does this type of role have a term limit anywhere? e.g. US house speaker doesn't have a term limit.
