I think this government will be remembered as having massively lost the communication war in all fronts.
Carbon tax is objectively a great policy, but has been smeared. Electoral reform would gave been a disaster with no two parties agreeing (I want electoral reform, but one party unilaterally doing so would in effect doom our democracy, and every single interest group in the country wanted him to open the constitution to enshrine their cause as a right).
On housing and the economy I’m not impressed, but he got us through renegotiating NAFTA and a slew of other treaties during Trumos first term that frankly none of the other parties could have done.
Same with the pandemic, my wife and I watched and listened to his regular updates, Canada got safe and effective vaccines, and we evidenced economic collapse and a recession. But you never hear about the good from that period, it’s all scandal and “freedom” from the press.
Post Covid they’ve really floundered and we’ve seen all of our media shift further right, institutions like The Glove and Mail is all opinion and Toronto Star got purchase and taken private, firing their editors who refused to follow suit.
In a way Trudeau was always doomed, but even then he has both over played his hand while not taking enough action.
I’ll remember this party with mixed feelings, I push to not forget the good, but I can’t deny at this stage they’re failing.
Ah yes, the “Everything he did was great but everyone is too stupid to see it argument” half assed pseudo intellectuals like to trot out.
An entire generation that will never vote Liberal again. Just imagine being 18 ten years ago, and look at this mess now.
Dude I don’t know how you came to that idea, but you really seem to be disconnected from reality
go talk to a 28 year old thatll never own a house.
Housing is a Provincial and Municipal responsibility - Trudeau offered Doug Ford 6 billion dollars to build houses and Doug turned him down.
Imagine being 28 and not knowing basic civics, truely embarrassing.
Imagine thinking pointing that out is clever, given which branch of government is both in charge of the currency and drowning the country in immigrants.
No responsibility for the government in charge of housing who actively turned down resources to build that housing?
Your opinion is worth as much as your iq score: 0
Yep, everything happens in a vacuum, cause and effect don’t exist. You are ever so smart.
I talk to them every day. You’re still way out to lunch.
Also, are you not aware of the election cycle here in Canada? You seem to ignore a lot of variables of our society and put in your half baked and ill informed ideas as gospel.
You aren’t the erudite philosopher you have led yourself to believe you are.
I don’t think you even know what erudite means.
Lol, this coming from you doesn’t mean anything.
Go get a dose of reality.
I did, that’s why I’m like this. You need to travel.
I have travelled. But I didn’t become a bitter person.
