Not a huge Trudeau fan, but I’d vote for him over SkiPPy every day of the week.
JT’s main failings IMHO is that despite all the good he did (national pharmacare, dental care, and 10$ a day child care) did not get any media attention, and provinces run by conservative premiers tried to suppress the programs as much as possible.
He passed the buck on housing for too long, letting Conservative provinces stoke the flames and blame him - and nobody seems to realize housing and healthcare are largely provincial matters. There was plenty he could have done to expose this, or remedy how federal housing funding is allocated.
He let our grocery monopoly dictate price with no consequences for Greed based inflation.
Completely sold out workers with a “flood the streets” immigration policy. These new people receive significantly more government assistance than “real Canadians” which rightly pissed everyone off. - FWIW, the Conservatives will absolutely bring even more in, but Fuck Trudeau amirite
Homelessness is at all time highs and so is shelter costs, meaning eating in a shelter you rent/own basically makes you the 1% even though you can’t afford anything.
He completely lied about election reform, one of the main mandates he had when originally elected.
The core of his failing is spending tons of money, but very little of it going to the people who need it while everyone became poorer due to inflation. He wasn’t nearly as “left wing” where it counted as he thinks, and we basically got Neoliberalism with a rainbow flag on top.
(totally support LGBTQ, but not wanting to do gay/trans harm while actively selling out Canada to corporate interests isn’t “left” at all.)
Instead, we’re going to vote in SkiPPy, who is a capitalist laptog - to save us from crushing capitalism. Because as a nation we have strong voter apathy and no civic comprehension.
The people who show up probably hate him so he wussed out
Shame, would have been the perfect day for another attempt
