    To my knowledge there have been people here on Lemmy stating that it would be best if he stepped down. Oh gentle Canadian neighbors:

      Shits kinda on fire and it’s probably like 50% the USs fault.

      But we kind of tend to start getting pissy with our pms after about 10 years,

      Trudeau is poison to the Liberal brand. In Canada we don’t vote parties in, we vote parties (and leaders) out. Trudeau has been PM for just over 9 years, the 7th longest serving PM.

      What will happen is we’ll vote the Cons in, they’ll make hilariously huge mistakes like they always do, get 1-2 terms, then get voted out in favour of another Liberal government. If you go back throughout our history we have almost exactly 2-1 Lib - Con governments by time in office.

      Poilievre is an anti-abortion career politician who is going to try to ape what Trump did, only every time he speaks he loses votes. He has a whiny voice and is widely referred to as ‘Milhouse’ because, well, he looks like Milhouse. He’s not a strong-man and his public speaking is embarrassing. He’ll brown nose Trump as much as he can and absolutely eat it when Trumps policies fuck our economy.

        This doesn’t sound terrible?

        In Australia, it feels like the inverse. We generally have conservative governments until they do something particularly abhorrent and lose government for a term.

        We’re presently enjoying our once-in-a-decade progressive government term and sadly I feel they have squandered their term. They seem determined to ignore the core responsibility of making life better for everyone and instead waste political capital on fanciful notions like banning sheep exports and frivolous changes to the constitution.
