He’s not that bad of a leader but all the polling is showing that if he’s the LPC’s leadership pick we will have a deeply conservative government.
We could have done a lot worse than Trudeau but we also could have done a lot better - his government has generally been one of cautious inaction while the world has been going bonkers.
Boy if that doesn’t succinctly capture the tepid response to domestic and global turmoil.
Though it’s kind of understandable. The disconnect between noble (enough) leaders trying to make a difference against immovable obstacles (big money, fascists, oligarchs, etc.) and their gullible poorly educated citizenry versus the snake-oil fox seeking to guard the Hen house by doling out empty promises would be amusing if the consequences weren’t so dire.
Most laypeople who know no better will take empty promises and hollow truths over tough love and hard truths. Makes me think of the WV coal miners and Trump promising them clean coal while Hillary told them the unfortunate reality.
I think whoever the Libs do pick is going to be in an even worse position. At least Trudeau could score some points dealing with Trump.
If they wanted to do some good, they’d either disband completely, or merge into the NDP so the left/centre vote doesn’t get split. They have no problem crying “Anything But Conservative” when they’re the Anything, but I doubt they’ll have the grace to do it when it’s not to their benefit.
Ngl I’d give up my firstborn to have him instead of trump

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
