While Trudeau has had his run as Prime Minister and should be replaced as the leader of the Liberals for good reason, and the liberals need to wake the fuck up. These chuckle fucks in the media are driving people to Bitcoin Milhouse as if that stain on his parent's mattress actually would do good things for the country instead of dragging us backwards like his voting history tells us he WILL.
Edit: seems like everyone is just glossing over the fact that there are pictures of him in black face. That shit wasn't cool.
What exactly has Trudeau done wrong? I keep seeing comments like this but I can't recall anything.
Beyond his backtracking on election reform when early results indicated it'd be a long, tough battle to actually change and re-educate people?
He ran on transparency, and while he has been faaaar more transparent than Harper, thats a low bar, and I expect better.
Hes had his share of scandals, which isn't good (SNC, ArriveCan, off the top of my head)
He supported the transpacific pipeline, which I personally am against.
The Liberal party drastically increased immigration rates beyond what the systems to help get them started (think transferring education credits, language barriers, community programs, etc) could handle. The current housing crisis is at least in part due to that.
All in all, not a terrible PM by my judge, but I tend to lean further left than him, so it's not like I'd vote for PP no matter what Trudeau did.
Ahhh shit yeah election reform. That remains my biggest gripe with him actually. Good point bringing up the pipeline, I get why it was needed but it still stings. Immigration, while I agree is being executed poorly, is unfortunately needed for a stagnant nation like ours. I think I agree that he's not terrible but not great. However, his ineptitude gets blown away out of proportion by the cons and I feel like lefties are afraid to voice their support.
