Never invade Russia in the winter. Never fight a land war in Asia. Never go for a third term as Prime Minister in Canada. It makes the electorate hate you. I don’t complain much about his policies, but Trudeau is screwing his own party over and now we might end up with the Trumpiest of Canadian politicians as PM.

    Agreed. Except this might be useful info for the LPC. If Trudeau’s trailing PP by 15 points, maybe it’s hard to ignore that a new figurehead is needed for them to be competitive in the election. With all the climate change denialism going on, it’d be so disheartening to elect PP 😔

      If the Liberals lose the next election, it won’t be because of Pierre, it’ll be despite Pierre. Like his idol Trump, Bitcoin Millhouse could shoot someone in the face on Sussex road and Conservatives would still vote for him. Liberal voters keep their party in check and will only vote when they do enough good things.

          Not sure I’d go that far, but I’d say Liberals supporters are less sheep-like than Conservative supporters, generally speaking of course.

            Funny, because I honestly see no difference, they just sheep on different things, same goes for avid NDP supporters.

              There are always sheep, regardless of views. My belief is that Conservatives have ‘better’ sheep because they rarely ever vote against their own party (even when damaging information comes to light) whereas LPC/NDP share a voter base and often cannibalize each others support.

      Wasn’t that long ago Chrystia Freeland was supposed to take over the party leadership from Trudeau.

      Too bad the old boys’ network behind the scenes decided that wasn’t good enough and kept JT at the helm … and now the Libs pay the price for their stupidity.
