Canada

Why do they want him to go? Because if they are unhappy with their daily situation, it's more likely that their Conservative provincial leaders are the ones making their lives miserable.

I want Trudeau gone.

Not EVER at the expense of letting Poilievre into power, though.

Is it just me or has Global News really taken a turn to the right in the last few years? Maybe not as bad as NatPost, but still I thought they used to be more neutral than they are now.

The liberals are toast at this point in 2025, even if they switch leaders ahead of it. Nothing they can do will make things more affordable for voters prior to that election, and that's going to be the number one reason people are voting.

Probably a better long-term Liberal electoral strategy is for Justin to lose, resign quickly, and get replaced for the 2029 election than to have a new leader come in prior to the 2025 election and lose, and then have that same person try for 2029.

Having a new leader for 3 years, and 4 years of people getting mad at the Conservatives for not actually improving things like they've been saying they can magically do is more likely to lead to a Liberal election success for that follow up election in 2029.

Just my nickel.

The cons have been campaigning against Trudeau directly since the "nice hair" commercials so many years ago.

We need this guy. He's perfectly mundane, seems to dodge tan-suit controversy like Muhammad Ali, and, most importantly, he's taught kids: nothing better prepares someone to handle elitist flacks like Bitcoin Milhouse than elementary school.

And he's the perfect filter for the NDP's feel-good plan of the moment -- a bidirectional filter. Mr Singh can propose something, WaterHole can resist and then dramatically give in, cons hate Justin, Orange hates Justin, Bleu always hates Justin, greens hate Justin; Canada hates Justin, and Justin doesn't care.

As a punching bag that holds the status quo in tough times against 4 flavours of snowflake? Chef's kiss perfectly suited.

The clock is ticking for Trudeau to turn things around.

If his government can implement sweeping reforms to housing, transportation, labour rights, healthcare and pharmacare (which sounds like it's coming next year), and actually take the many oligopolies to task (they haven't done well enough on groceries and telecom yet), Trudeau and the Liberals will get my vote. Otherwise I'm leaning NDP.

(All of it is a lot to ask for, but knocking at least one of the park to me will be a promising sign)

So instead of voting for a douche, people intend on voting for a turd sandwich. Great.

I'm not too knowledgeable of politics. As PM, is it actually Trudeau's decision whether he'll be the candidate next election and not a political equivalent of a Federal Liberal board of directors that's pretty independent of the PMO?

Show up and vote non-Poilievre, people. Please.

I implore you. Turnout is the lowest effort good thing you can do to help prevent a cycle of conservatism from wrecking the littlest good things there are to celebrate. It's too tragic to observe this with ABC-driven municipalities right now, having that on federal level too will be too much.
