Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

[Good2Golf]

I doubt he steps down before septembre. But I agree that he likely needs to go if the LPC wants any chance of not being seriously wiped out.

Cue convenient “spend more time with my kids, after I’ve helped see this great, diverse, prosperous country of ours through such challenging times!”

Have a look at the comments here. Seriously. Are you actually going to try and divert our attention or distract us? In case you can't tell, its a freaking political lynch mob across this nation looking to end Trudeau's political career

What? How am I trying to diver your attention or distract you? See my next post.

Why would you assume people don’t know what a post-national state is?

Most people have a pretty decent idea, it’s not overly complex…even Wikipedia has a decent definition.

Postnationalism or non-nationalism[1] is the process or trend by which nation states and national identities lose their importance relative to cross-nation and self-organized or supranational and global entities as well as local entities.

I would assume that because if someone really understood what "post-nationalism" was then you wouldn't be having a conniption about the idea (as Fishbone is).

Trudeau isn't "trying" to make Canada the world's first "post-national state"; in his opinion, Canada is already a post-national state. And in a lot of way, Canada has always been post-national state.

 

[RangerRay]

The problem with Trudeau and his cult is that they believe they are on the side of light and anyone who disagrees is being fooled by the side of darkness. When one believes that, then one believes rules don’t apply to them in their fight against darkness.

The Tories would do well to recognize this in themselves as well.

is he arrogant enough to walk over to his neighbour's house and telling her it is over instead of bowing out?

 

[RangerRay]

I think Trudeau believes that he is the only one who can defeat PP, despite what the polls say. He is an excellent campaigner, so maybe he’s right?

I also don’t think there is anyone in the wings who can take over the LPC and win, or wants to even try at this point.

That he is. And the campaign has already started.

As Trudeau shows no signs of stepping down, each day he remains the leader shortens the time available to pick a successor and groom them to win before the next fixed election date. There's 20 months left.

 

[PuckChaser]

There's less than 2 weeks left. NDP is pulling out of supply and confidence agreement 1 March of there's no pharmacare bill. They surely sense the blood in the water and a proper disconnect from the Liberals could give them official opposition status in the election.

That’s why September is pretty much the point of no return. If he hasn’t stepped down by then, then he is all in.

Possibly but I doubt it. Official opposition against a majority government is worse than being third party holding a minority by the nuts. Singh will say that they have come to an agreement in principle but will absolutely hold them to account if they don’t follow through blah blah. It will be theatre so Singh can save face and we’ll likely end up with a bad pharmacare plan.

But who knows. We could have a spring election.

 

[RangerRay]

More likely, Singh will find some reason to keep the agreement alive. For someone supposedly with leverage, he’s very weak at using it.

If he does end the agreement, I’m sure he’ll keep the government afloat on a case-by-case basis. I can’t see him finally having enough of the Liberals to pull the plug on them. Only if they start polling ahead of the Liberals, but that would require the NDP to stop fear mongering over the Tories and attack the Liberals. But I don’t see that happening. That would require the NDP to be politically competent.

 

[PuckChaser]

That is a likely COA because Singh is a weak leader and has hitched a ride on Trudeaus success. They have an opportunity to pivot away from the downtown far-left progressives and get back to their blue collar socialism which has provided a serious challenge to traditional Tory and Liberal governments. If he doesn't abandon ship soon, PP is going to steal all those private sector union (PS unions are ideologically lost forever) votes by appearing to stick up for their wages, jobs and economic prospects.

Hopefully a huge, public donnybrook will break out between the two of them.

Trudeau (checks watch) seems to be due another blazing scandal of some kind and, if nothing else, it would be fun to watch.

unless his caucus gangs up on him, which is possible if they see their personal chance of re-election going down the toilet

 

[Rifleman62]

I don't know if the Trudeau Liberals are a Cult (a relatively small group of people having beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister) or a Gang (an organized group of criminals). Probably the worst combination of both.

"Cult" is reserved for "MAGA".

Anybody who supports the Trudeau brand of liberals at this point is either A. Making money from his policies and decisions or B. Locked into a cult of personality

You'd be talking about 'women' then


The March 16 Angus Reid Institute numbers show quite clearly that men favour Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, while women favour Trudeau. Among voters aged 35 to 54, a blowout 47 per cent of the men preferred Poilievre (against 28 per cent for Trudeau). While among women, those numbers flipped to 39 for Trudeau and 27 for Poilievre.

If only men voted, the next election would be a Tory landslide. If only women, Trudeau might get another term
