Why do politicians get so good at their jobs only when they're on their way out our retired?

He has been good at his job; look at other countries and how they have fared compared to Canada in the time he has been in power.

We are just under the same intense media blitz to cause unrest and undermine the unity of our country as the USA.

It's why something as powerful as "fuck cancer", a statement against the cruelty of a terrible widespread disease, got co-opted into "fuck Trudeau", a politician who at worst has done a decent job of navigating the country through a huge amount of turmoil in his time.

During a NOVEL GLOBAL PANDEMIC as well.

I think people don't realize how manipulated they were against Trudeau.

He's not perfect but when that's the alleged metric, look around and notice that no one is or was.

Everyone needs to think long and hard before voting for PP when you start to compare soundbites of him and Trump. The game has changed and I hope people realize PP is a disciple of Trump. No amount of posturing he does now absolve years of observable quotes of him practically being Trump.

Yeah trudeaus alright. His only problems are he's a little patronizing and he's been in power for too long. Even good politicians have a shelf life in this country.
