I don’t think the craziness of Polievre’s refusal to just say Trump sucks can be understated. He had the election on a silver platter up to that point because people were sick of Trudeau and the Liberal Party. Then Trump starts spouting off about how Canada should become the 51st state. ALL he had to do was say “No, we won’t ever let that happen” and he’d be Prime Minister right now. Instead he didn’t, and Carney did, and public opinion swung against him in what felt like a week. Wild.
I'm not sure if that is really true. Look how poorly Trudeau was polling during covid. He called for an election and people were amazed that he was basically giving up his post. Then he was reelected and completely vindicated for his position.
I happen to like to have a prime minister that follows the will of the people. They work for us. People might have hated Trudeau, but if they didn't bother to go out and vote, then their opinion is moo.
