Despite plunging polling numbers, some Liberal MPs put on a brave face

The Liberals’ national popularity numbers under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are tanking, but still some MPs are putting on a brave face, saying they may be down but not out, and will bounce back stronger in the coming months.

“Oh, we’ve been in the tough situations for a while now, and we’re doing what we need to do,” said three-term Liberal MP Darrell Samson (Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook, N.S.) in an interview with The Hill Times. “We’re going to surprise many people. You remember, 2015, nobody had us [winning and forming government]. They never thought I was going to win, and I was against [long time NDP MP] Peter Stoffer, of course. And things can change. We’re going to turn this around soon. Stay tuned.”
