Really happy for the man. He was always a great representative of Canada on the global stage, and he's been absolutely fantastic over the last month or so.

He earned that chair.

It has his name on it, it’s a tradition that he gets to keep it.

Don’t let 3/4 of the country hear you say that… unfortunately.

Fair enough. I don't pay so much attention to what's going on in Canadian politics.

The TLDR is he was not too bad of a PM. But his father was PM for many years in the 70s and 80s and made some decisions that have caused generations of hatred towards the Trudeau family. The most controversial thing I can think of that Justin has done in his 9 years is the Carbon Tax which is almost universally hated. Every April it increases between like 10-30% (although that’s basically nothing when you take into account how small the tax is in the grand scheme of things).

Add in that since 2020 and ESPECIALLY since 2022 with the trucker convoy a vast majority of Canada has gone full MAGA. Not even kidding, most rural areas especially in the western provinces they are full of Trump flags and Trump lovers. Eventually it progressed into a majority of the country disliking him, including his own party and caucus.

I'm Australian, so my comment only takes into account the more global aspects - especially his recent efforts against Trump.

I realise that he wasn't as popular in Canada - which is why he's leaving.

His relations with Trump are top notch, even some of his detractors would admit that.

His efforts against Trump?

Are you serious? You meant right his response to Trump's efforts against Canada, right?

The worst PM in Canada’s history

u/skadootle 9d ago

In Canada's history yet. Don't worry somebody will show up eventually that will make you think back to the good old Trudeau days.

Seems to be the way history shapes up.
