There are people more informed than me to answer this, but here’s my opinion.
Trudeau has been a lame but fairly middle of the road leader. Not actively destructive, but far from the progressive power house he sold himself as. His government has mostly been on auto pilot while the country has quickly deteriorated and cost of living has soared under his watch. The only positive programs that have been passed have been because of our 3rd biggest official party, the NDP, basically forcing their hand since the Liberals are a minority government.
Trudeau definitely sucks and the main reason people want him to step down is because the Liberals need an actual leader if they stand any chance of beating the Conservatives in the upcoming federal election. The current Conservative leader has basically been riding an anti-woke outrage train who claims to have all the answers while cozying up to big business and appealing to far right culture war ideologies.
There’s also a very American style Trudeau hate movement in the past few years complete with FUCK TRUDEAU merchandise seen on heads, trucks, and houses. It’s pretty cringe.
I appreciate the insight, thanks. Seems like a fair assessment and hearkens to frustrations with Biden who, while better than the opposition, is watered-down to the legitimate progressive economic populism that is needed to thwart rising fascist populism we’re seeing everywhere.
This is exactly it. He’s not outright evil or destructive in the way that the Conservatives are, but he’s too firmly in the “Capitalism is the answer” camp to be able to offer meaningful solutions to our out of control cost of living crisis. As a result people keep getting poorer, and they turn to ideologues to fix their problems.
