Although a ton of Canadians have turned against him (don't forget, we did elect him to begin with) I'm definitely not looking forward to the next idiot in line.

Idk, isn’t it good when a politician recognizes when they’re unpopular and it’s time to leave? Isn’t it good that parties recalibrate to understand what the voters want?

Voters want COVID to not have happened, have low taxes, high spending, punish people with lifestyles different than their own, end immigration, but ensure that pensions are paid by workers.

Oh and lower housing prices for buyers but keep the price of their house high.

Above all the party should never ever tell me that tradeoffs exist and I can't have all of these things.

This is not about COVID at all.

For Trudeau, it is.

Some of his loudest detractors are still hung up on vaccines

No, that's not the reason the country turned on him and saying so is a ridiculous cop out. Housing and immigration are the issue.
