The Spin
While Poilievre may be enjoying current success by repeating a Trump-like message in Canada, there's plenty of time for these fortunes to change before Canada's next federal election. With the right spending more time complaining than presenting substantial policy, don't be surprised if voters do not buy the Conservative Party's superficial hype.
Many Canadians are rightfully holding Trudeau personally responsible for the rising inflation and high cost of living. His popularity has been declining for years, with most believing Poilievre has the best plan when it comes to crucial issues like housing, health care, and the economy. It's time for Trudeau to do what's best for the country — step down.
