Conservatives want Trudeau to step down because they're scared

The percentage of Canadians who are satisfied with the Trudeau government is still higher than the percentage of Canadians who think Pierre Poilievre is the best choice for prime minister. The election is still 14 months away, and calls for Justin Trudeau to step down have come largely from Conservatives because they’re scared. They know that Pierre Poilievre rubs too many people the wrong way, he’s likely peaked too early, his empty catchphrases can only resonate for so long and there’s still over a year for his lack of actual ideas and embarrassing past statements to be exposed.

Conservatives love to talk about how it’s unfair to compare their party to Donald Trump, even though a majority of Conservatives would vote for Trump if they could. Conservative politicians prey on the uneducated and those who lack critical thinking skills.

Remember, these are the same people who have no clue how to defend themselves when people call them “weird.” Because deep down, they know that their anti-science narrative, reliance on disinformation and lack of empathy is “weird.”

Has the Trudeau government been perfect? Of course not. But this government has implemented affordable childcare, begun reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, improved Canada’s reputation internationally, implemented gun control legislation and strong climate action, not to mention successfully managing a pandemic.

Our country is projected to have the fastest growing economy in the G7 in 2025. Canada is not the broken country the Conservatives need you to think it is.

“Just 26% of Canadians think Pierre Poilievre is the best choice for prime minister, proving that this guy is nowhere near as popular as his supporters think he is. It appears that rage-farming has its limits in Canada.”

Smile. Blame Trudeau. Repeat. https://t.co/6PLUYwzJKP
