What Policy turned you off Trudeau?

I find your comments interesting in light of the fact that only 6 Prime Ministers in Canadian history have served a longer consecutive term than JT. Even some Prime Ministers who have served more years in office have done so non-consecutive occasions. It's like the electorate gets tired of the ruling party and wants a change, regardless of political philosophy.

It's about context and its place in time.
Harper served almost 10 years and helped Canada crawl out of a devastating recession. However, even that couldn't erase the impact it had on Canadians.

Trudeau was the perfect candidate that the Liberals offered. He had the name. He was young. And he resonated with young voters who had come of age by the time he was elected. Everyone was quick to forgive him for scandals as long as they saw a future with him as the leader.

Almost 10 years later, those same young voters are in their late 20's/early 30's and have realized they were sold a lie. Their pay goes to taxes that are squandered. Life is unaffordable. They've realized what printing money & government debt translates into. They're pissed.

It will take a decade to fix what the Liberals have done but change needs to start somewhere.

For me it was the SNC- Lavalin scandal. To me he showed he was just another Liberal Prime Minister of Quebec.

If SNC-Lavalin was based in Alberta does he treat them the same?

Nope , he and Gerald Butts would have absolutely destroyed an Alberta company convicted of an international bribery crime

What I will say is I knew Trudeau was in major trouble when Home Developers where starting losing money.

This was happening in 2022 and he never addressed it. He'd probably be in good standing if he did.

What does the Fed govt have to do with profitability of home developers? Home dev almost exclusively falls within municipal and provincial jurisdiction. Feds can only provide subsidies and financing and tax policy, like CMHC for example. The issue IMHO is the whole process of development which involves zoning, site plan, environmental, inspection, density etc etc, It all takes too long, and time is money.

you have no proof of that, just the usual AB chip on shoulder.

And yet there are still some who want more immigration.

Canada is under populated, to be a major nation we need at least another 30m people.
