He’s highly attuned to the threat to Canada’s sovereignty and I’m sure he did not want to leave at this terrible time for Canada. He at least got to leave on a high note defending Canada and it’s hard to believe Freeland blew up the govt just so she could earn a demotion to Transport Minister.

And before you downvote me for appearing to support Trudeau, I never voted for him and he never should have passed on implementing electoral reform.

I don’t support Trudeau but I keep asking why people hate him so much without getting any good answers.

Everything people blame him for is basically what you would get from an average leader of the liberal party.

I think some people just think he looks a little too non masculine while obviously being attractive, some people really hate that.

I’m disappointed he didnt do election reform, but neither would carney. Also, he legalized it so he did do something

As an outsider, Trudeau seemed pretty great. No Bernie or AOC, but still pretty great.

I don’t like him as a person.

But I set that aside, because his policies were the most human/humane behind the NDP - who just don’t have the experience or, honestly, the chance to run this country.

I’ve voted conservatives - in the 80’s even. But these guys ARE NOT CONSERVATIVES by anything other than name.

Trudeau did a great job!! Given the world circumstances, he did out-fucking-standing!

Credit where it’s due!

But he rubs me the wrong way.

See beyond him, and you’ll see “The Guy you WANT running things”.

If all you can see is the proportional rep ball that WAS dropped (a clear over-promise), then the problem isn’t/wasn’t him - It’s YOU.
