If they replaced him as leader they would have sailed to a win. He attached himself to Trump style politics and it finished him off.
It's a bit alarming to see more Canadian Cons didn't reject him however, but after 3 liberal terms it gets harder and harder.
Beyond just a little alarming. Over 40% of the population basically said "We don't want Canada to survive the next four years" with their vote.
Everyone was in disbelief when people voted for Trump the first time. Then the second time. And look at what's happened there. A total collapse of their country.
Ironically, PP is the man of "no confidence" when it came to Trudeau. Yet, PP lost a 30%+ lead. Talk about no confidence! They should be kicking him out.
This is frustrating to hear, because I know this type of thinking can affect voting.
The reality is, if anyone is suffering during their day-to-day life, they need to squarely blame their Provincial and Municipal governments.
We keep voting for conservatives who impact our daily lives, but blame the federal government. Education is key to inform future voters of how each level of government affects them.
You can seize the means of Production and lose society to those who own the means of Reproduction (of society): communication. Media, culture, education, history, and Law are just as fundamental to society as ownership, and as a shaper of motives, has more inertia, therefore momentum.
American oligarchs have a long lever into Canada through ownership and influence of our media, both legacy and online. We are going backwards without fixing that.
Don't forget the Canadian oligarchs that are doing "god's work" in Canada as well. Most of the private Canadian news outlets are owned by these billionaires that actively squeeze out every cent from their own base while convincing them that it's for their benefit with unabashedly one-sided reporting.
It really reminds me that all the stuff I say that what the US reminds me of 1930s Germany or Italy actually applies to Canada as well to a frighten degree.
