Most Canadians who plan on voting for the Liberal party are more motivated to stop the Conservatives from winning the election rather than endorsing the party’s vision and leader, according to a new poll released on Monday.

I’m not Canadian so this is a genuine question, what has Truduae done to earn such resentment?
He’s been PM during times of hardship. That’s pretty much it. That and Conservatives parroting for the last 5 years that every single thing wrong in this country is directly and individually Trudeau’s fault.
Most things blamed on Trudeau are either international events affecting every country, or stuff that’s actually under the jurisdiction of the (mostly Conservative) provincial governments or municipalities.
He has done some things that are actually worth resenting, but most Canadians criticising Trudeau don’t give a fuck about blackface or corruption scandals, they just want to whine about carbon tax and minorities.
He has played to selling out canada to corporate interests at every turn and then uses the facade of ‘pushing for equality’ to shut down any critical discussions in public venues.
Then he shuts down, at the behest of Mr. Buffet, every trucker or rail worker dispute by forcing them back to work and labeling them as ‘right wing extremists’ for the audacity of asking for time off, reasonable pay, and enough workers to insure safe travels (especially in the rail industry).
Additionally, the liberal government has taken to shutting down bank accounts of people that they accuse, whether with evidence or not, of ‘conspiring’ against them. We have an entire set of people that used to be mid to mid high class that have lost access to their homes and bank accounts because they opted to support a rail worker protest or a trucker protest that the media had labeled ‘extremist’. (Canadian news media is obligated to report the version of events supplied to them by the government or be censured and permanently shut down, this was a good thing in the era of the Iraq war as we were able to know about the lack of WMD’s literally years before the US was fully informed, but it is a sword with which the LPC has been stabbing at public criticism and discussion of their continual failures, abuses of power and illegal land sales as well as the use of the RCMP and former US special forces as ‘special enforcers’ for oil interests)
Instead of allowing any discussion on the matter of their abuse of power and complete lack of oversight of both personal (bribes) and government (missing money) funds, we are assaulted with continual ‘us vs them’ narratives to split the populace.
Trudeau is Trump light, but objectively more racist.
If you want a TL;DR video about Canada’s government issues (with sources)

To be clear, there has been back to work legislation for railroad workers for decades, in 2022 it was not used. As far as I’m aware it was last used against Canada Post. Though it has been used by the provincial conservative parties quite a few times.
The convoy was not a trucker dispute. After it was over there were tons of trucks left. How many grassroots truckers can afford a month off work and to leave their vehicles? A lot of the trucks were rented or taken without permission from employers. The convoy was denounced by all the trucker and teamster organizations.
They had a mandate to remove the entire government from power and make themselves the government, months after a federal election.
Anyone whose accounts were frozen were literally funding crimes. There was a whole year long investigation, no wrongdoing was found on this. It wasn’t “I don’t like these guys”, the convoy was run by fucking terrorists.
Citation needed. I’ve never heard anything about this, so if it’s true please provide evidence.
lol, you sound like a Qanon conspiracist. And it’s Poilièvre who is a Trump light. Come on.
I’ll never vote far right like conservatives, and will not vote PLC if Trudeau is here. I’ll not vote for leftists like NDP too.
Sorry, you saw the literal sources I provided to the wall street warlords that trudeau is selling canada to and your response is “it’s pierres fault”/“you’re a conspiracy theorist”?
Do you have a reading comprehension problem or did you just opt to not click through a single source before you made your comment?
Pierre wasn’t even a name on the CPC ticket during the wetsueten attacks by the RCMP and last I checked it was trudeau’s choice to do black face all 5 times and to dress as a nazi all 3 times he did it.
If you don’t want to vote then don’t vote, but you definitely don’t reserve the right to call anyone a conspiracy theorist when you can’t even be bothered to look at the information provided to you by a wide variety of journalists, first nations and wall street firms that directly corroborate what I’ve said.
Not only did the video linked have an easy run down with video footage of the wetsueten attacks and various deleterious impacts of the oil industry, it included all sources in the description specifically to combat sleazy arguments like the one you’re presenting.

I don’t denied Trudeau is bad and will not vote for him, but I’ll not vote for CPC for sure, they are worst.
You supported truckers in Ottawa?
You lost your credibility when you wrote “Trudeau is Trump light, but objectively more racist.”
He has (depending on your POV) been involved in a lot of scandals or been hit by a lot of smear campaigns. To name a few (and in the interest of fairness the good faith counter argument I have heard):
That’s what Trudeau has done scandal wise, in my experience this is what more conservative folks dislike about him. In my personal opinion there is nothing particularly out of the ordinary here and as someone whose wife is desi I can say the brown community largely seems to not care much about the brownface or Indian political scandals., but of course I only have that one community to look at.
He has some pretty controversial policies as well:
In addition there’s also plenty of verifiably fake news and right wing craziness. Stuff like he’s a pedo who got fired from teaching or anything to do with the anti-covid protests.
I tried to make this fair, but obviously personal bias is unavoidable. I’m an ABC (anything but Conservative) voter who aligns most closely with the green party, probably much more pro-trudeau than most internet takes though. I’ve voted for LPC 3 times and will probably vote green in the next one.
My personal opinion is that while he is slow he is slowly sending things in the right direction so long as the NDP remain a minority. I think most of the negativity comes form the fact he’s been in power a long time and that the world has on the whole gotten worse. I hope he wins the next election because realistically the only other choice is a right wing populist. I don’t think it is possible for him to step down and keep the party in power, I somewhat suspect that the LPC is resigned to losing the next election and using that as a way to change out Trudeau.
