The Conservatives have a 16-point lead. Three-quarters of the country think it’s time for a change. But Justin Trudeau is vowing to fight Pierre Poilievre in the next election.
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.
But have you considered carbon tax, fuck Trudeau, immigration, woke agenda? These are the issues that matter to Canadians, apparently.
All this overtime from a lack of sensible labor laws leaves me perpetually short on sleep. Fuck the woke agenda, I want a nap.
Sorry, the best we can do is ostracize trans kids. The second half of your split shift starts in 35 minutes - don’t be late!
People are always unhappy with their daily situation. They’ve now figured out that Trudeau can’t magically fix everything that’s wrong with Canada. Of course, Poilievre not only can’t fix it but will make it worse, but there are a large number of people who are too dumb to figure that out until their noses have been rubbed in it for a while.
The housing situation goes back decades and was the responsibility of Liberal and Conservative governments at the federal and provincial levels. Municipalities also deserve a fair share of the blame.
I’d love to pin this on one bogeyman, but politicians of all stripes benefitted from housing austerity. As did a lot of homeowners and voters.
Good grief. Everyone talks like Trudeau is lacking, and he might be, but has anyone considered that it’s a MINORITY government right now. You can’t just “ram shit through”, you have to work with others and play nice.
I fucking LOVE this situation right now.
A. It’s not the right-wing wackos in charge - don’t get me started. B. Trudeau has resources and experienced support, old favours, blah blah C. But Trudeau is held in check by, mostly, by the NDP(who I view as the political ’conscience’ of Canada). D. NDP are the real kingmakers - anything doesn’t pass muster? Nope! E. This forces EVERYONE to play and work together.
Isn’t that what this country is about?
Or is it about, “MY turn to drive!”? There’s no absolute power, right now and that’s a good thing.
Who gives a shit if a turd is, technically, “in charge”? The bus is driving like it’s supposed to.
Did he steal a cookie? They ALL do!
Just to provide a counterpoint here.
I’m left leaning on most issues, and I don’t think the current parliamentary composition is a good thing at all. The Liberals have a comfortable minority, and have an explicit agreement with the NDP that props them up. This means the Liberals simply do what they were going to do anyway, and the NDP rattles their sabres about cost of living and pharmacare and dental care, to no real effect. Liberals are not effectively kept in check, and real progressive policy issues that could materially benefit Canadians aren’t being put forward.
I don’t like it, and I don’t think it serves the plurality of Canadian citizen views - we’re in a bad place and I don’t see how anyone who isn’t already a Liberal voter could love it.
I want Trudeau gone.
Not EVER at the expense of letting Poilievre into power, though.
Literally this. It’s fucking stupid that Trudeau is willing to risk his party’s chances because he’s too full of himself to step down. That kind of selfish stupidity is how you destroy the country you say you care about.
I don’t mind Trudeau. A significant chunk of the electorate has grown sick of him, though. He needs to step back, or else we’ll end up like Ontario with Wynne. She didn’t bow out and look at who got in.
Yeah I don’t mind him either, but that’s the thing, I don’t particularly like him and never have. He’s just another stooge in a suit serving corporate interests.
Liberals and Conservatives are both serve their corporate masters, but the liberals do it with a rainbow paint job and I prefer that paint job to the conservative’s selfish dickheadery.
Once again: thank you Quebec and the Bloc Québécois for fucking up the seat count enough to prevent us from becoming a two party system.
He’s just another stooge in a suit serving corporate interests.
Tell us you don’t understand the cons vs the libs…
Why has nothing been done about housing on a federal level? He pretends to care, but he doesn’t.
I’m no Fuck Trudeau sticker bearer, but the more you make me think about it the less I like him. :p
No, that’s clearly on the old dancing 6flags guy.

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.
