Liberal support is a shadow of what it was nine years ago. Why? In brief: Incumbency, inflation, immigration and identity
Just shy of nine years ago, Justin Trudeau led his Liberals to a majority government with 39.5 per cent of the popular vote. Today, depending on which poll you prefer, the Liberals have lost a shade less than half of that support. Where did it go, and why?
Liberal support began leaking during Mr. Trudeau’s first four-year term. The result of the ensuing election was a minority Liberal government. Since the last election, in 2021, which produced another minority, the Liberals have tried many tricks in the political book and unveiled a range of policies designed to meet social needs, as the party sees them, and to tickle the electorate’s fancy. Politically speaking, nothing has worked. The party has at most one year left before the next election to avoid a crushing defeat. Recently, the Liberals lost by-elections in seats they had long held in Toronto and Montreal, a harbinger of electoral disaster.
Long read but worth it. Trudeau’s immigration scam is a plot to destroy Canada, no one cane deny that.
