It isn’t just Trudeau, the whole Liberal government is rotten
Voters are responding to how the country is governed, not just to the image of the prime minister
Following the Liberals’ embarrassing defeat in Toronto—St. Paul’s, Canadian politics has been consumed with a single question: should the party dump the wildly unpopular prime minister in favour of a leader who has a hope in a Winnipeg winter of holding onto government?
For Liberals and their supporters, who imagine the Conservatives are barbarians at the gates ready to smash civilization to pieces, it’s easy to see why that option could be alluring. Whatever the fortunes of the Liberal party generally, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is particularly reviled. So, it would seem some partisans believe, the public would snap out of its dalliances with Pierre Poilievre’s Tories and embrace a new leader if only it were presented with one.
Canadians, at least according to Liberals on social media, would suddenly come to realize that nationwide free contraception, which duplicates provincial plans and has only existed for eight seconds, is actually the glue holding this country together. They can’t believe voters are considering ending this sacred pillar of Canadian identity just to toss out an insufferable divorcee who doesn’t understand why no one likes him anymore.
