IQALUIT, Nunavut – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be in Nunavut today to participate in a signing ceremony about transferring responsibilities for public lands and resources to the territory...
Nobody should be a fan of any politician. They are servants after all. But to say that he is universally disliked is more indicative of your own little bubble than it is of reality.
I don’t think the comment you’re replying to is particularly off-base. Coming from a centre-left perspective, this government has been essentially inactive on so many issues that are negatively impacting Canadians, whether it be housing (pre-emptive frig off to the inevitable comments parroting the "provincial responsibility pablum), grocery prices, etc. I don’t know anyone who thinks this term has been a success, and at this point even a substantial chunk of the Liberal caucus is concerned about going into the election with Trudeau at the helm.
For what it is worth - I didn’t downvote that comment. I just find it funny when someone says something like ‘universally disliked’ and felt inclined to remind other readers that ‘universally’ is not as universal as @rab may think.
I don’t live in Ontario but I do go there for donairs every few weeks. ;)
I have lived in Quebec for the last two years. But I spent 20 years raising a family in AB and went to college in SK before moving there. My last non-quebec address was in Vernon BC. Every one of those places had supporters, nose-holding “the other ones are worse” voters, and haters, of all three major parties.
I’m not trying to say that everyone I know is in love with the guy. That would be weird and uncomfortable. But I disagree that he is universally disliked.
A lot of isolationists in AB/SK and to an extent BC want you to believe that. But having lived in almost every province, a few states, and three euro countries… I can safely say that most of the world is just trying to get by without hurting each other. You are just as likely to get help boosting your car in Gatineau as you would in Calgary or Kelowna. We are all just people. Drawing lines in the sand is a game for politicians, the media, and the rich. Don’t fall for it.

Yes. Of course.
You can find supporters for any politician. I mean… Someone keeps sending Pierre money. There is no end to political dumbfuckery.

I know quite a few people in BC who are in the stage of “anyone but Poilievre”, so they are technically still supporting Trudeau.

Lol at “universally disliked” and “Eastern Canada will vote for him” I mean it’s only 63% of the population, practically zero people.
Yes I know that not everyone in Eastern Canada will vote for him I’m just saying that you should be more consistent.
Even if only %34 percent of Eastern Canada voted for him that’s still over %20 of the country.

It really isn’t.
