The polls continue to worsen for Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party. Recent numbers and projections from Abacus Data indicate that their last electoral stronghold in Quebec may be beginning to weaken, which could turn what is already looking like a very challenging electoral environment for the prime minister into a disaster.
The Liberals have faced such routs before. In 1930, 1958, 1984 and 2011 the Liberal party was on the receiving end of an electoral shellacking the likes of which political parties don’t always survive. Remarkably, the Grits returned to power with aplomb in each circumstance.
