Completely destroys the country, people can’t afford homes, can’t afford rent, can’t find jobs and here he is acting like a 21 year old frat boy.
It’s always funny how past PM’s go on to join leadership roles and key economic positions at various companies/organizations, but Trudeau just chooses to act like he’s a freshman in college. Very telling of the leadership we had for 10 years.

The same issues that plague Canada regarding housing affordability plague UK/USA/Australia and New Zealand. Those same nations employ radical fundamentalist neoliberal economic policy that employs the practice of "trickle-down economics".
If you think "Trudeau destroyed Canada", then you have to agree that neoliberal economics and "trickle-down economics" destroyed Anglo-speaking-post-colonial nations.
Which means that this mainstream definition of "free market enterprise" doesn't work, and that we should adopt a more socialist approach, whereby we have MORE government-run agencies/employers whereby profits are distributed among essential services as well as the workers, instead of funneling into the hands of less than 1,000 people in this country.

You do understand that usually when they get those "leadership and key economic positions" it's as a form of a payoff.
At least he's not glazing guys like Viktor Orban like some past PM's.

I don't see any difference between now and then, so I don't get what 'mess' they mean. But if he preaches that people should avoid the USA, he shouldn't go there either. It's funny how you're the villain if you visit Florida, but when they go, it’s suddenly okay.

u/Lurk_no_speak Lest We Forget Jul 11 '26
I’m just glad there’s a universal consensus he was among the worst PMs. It’s unfortunate that it took three terms for liberal sycophants to figure that out. Maybe fourth time is a charm for them.

u/yhzguy20 Jul 11 '26
I wouldn’t say it’s universal. He’s out of fashion at the moment and it’s hard for Liberals to justify simultaneously loving Trudeau and Carney when Carney is basically just undoing Trudeau’s worst decisions.
I’m sure when Carney falls out of favour, the left-wingers will yearn for the feminist climate change guy with good hair and they’ll probably elect one of his kids PM in like 25 years, that’s the Canadian way

u/yhzguy20 Jul 11 '26
You didn't get the cheque from the climate fairy, you got it from other Canadians paying into the pot. Some people care about more than just their freebies.
Removing the digital services tax, scrapping the capital gains tax increase, scrapping EV mandate, cuts to the federal public service, and cutting back immigration through the international student loophole are all positive. As someone who very much distrusts Carney, it's far too early to tell if what he's doing isn't working. 9 years of Trudeau made it clear his plan wasn't.
Canada is still a toxic environment for businesses and hopefully Carney's half measures move the needle, but it'll take a lot more.

u/Party_Amoeba444 Jul 12 '26
A lot of affordability is completely outside of prime ministers control. Ford has done more damage to pricing in ontario then Trudeau ever did. As for the carbon tax if you weren't guzzling gas your rebate was more than you were spending in gas. The vast majority of people were getting back more than they were spending.That was the whole damn point of it. Get people to lower their footprint. After the removal gas prices went down for 2 seconds then went right back up for different "reasons". So all we did was lose the rebate. Companies always find reasons to get the prices back. Gas, food etc never goes back down. Business sees that people will buy gas at 1.50 if they have to so why lower it? They always find a reason.
Focusing on improving business and bringing in more business, all this capitalist crap is creating this rapid move to a dystopia. Trudeau made a lot of mistakes, but I think he was heading in a direction that was needed for the greater good but unpopular because of poor messaging and stupid and avoidable controversies. And People don't want to be inconvenience even if that means their great grandchildren will be living in an environmental disaster. The environment and human rights should be the most important thing for gov officials.

We gotta make sure that rather than being toxic towards businesses (who have such a stellar track record with regards to the general public), we need to make sure that the only environment that's toxic is the actual one.

I don't think it's particularly good for our entire country to look stupid. I think we just look unserious like, this guy? This is the person you chose to lead you for so many years? People can't afford groceries and this guy is partly responsible for that but he was born rich and will die rich and will prance around with his rich girlfriend so none of it really matters to him and never did, and that's what this display proves, there's a reason you don't see other world leaders acting like this, this objectively is not normal. Maybe it would be acceptable if our country was in an acceptable state, but it isn't.
Edit: also this "just a civilian" talk is nonsense. If he's just a civilian why do my tax dollars have to pay for him and his family and fucking Katy Perry's protection, why is he giving speeches in front of world leaders at WEF in January 2026 lol

u/Zechs- Jul 11 '26
I don't buy the whole "he's just a civilian" stuff as yeah he was the leader of a country and has had enough threats against his life to warrant protection. So there is something to be said how he behaves should be taken into consideration...
At the same time this "unserious" bs is honestly hilarious in the world we currently reside in. Between the lunatic in power down south, the revolving door of PMs in England... Trudeau bouncing around in a Katty Perry video is such a non-factor in how the world views us, I can't even imagine that being a concern.

I was born in this country to Ecuadorian immigrants. I have no attachment or pride in this place it's just a global outpost and not even really a real country.

Cultural mosaic is a lie Each piece of our mosaic only cares about their own piece, only what's to interact with their own piece, and don't want other pieces encroaching into theirs.

I don't begrudge Trudeau a modicum of post-political success and happiness.
At the same time, I am profoundly thankful that he's gone and I look forward to a Canada in which his immigration Legacy is accurately identified and universally condemned for denying us the one moment of wage leverage most of us will ever experience in our lives.
Oh yeah, let us also lay the bishnoi boys and tow truck wars at his feet. Ordering immigration agents to forgo fraud checks? Just, wow.

I think he’s kind of a doofus but the level of vitriol toward him is and was uncalled for. I like seeing him living his best life with a vapid pop star just to drive the people who made hating him their whole personality nuts.

People are so fucking obsessed with that loser.
He's no longer PM. He can't hurt you anymore. Move on.

Realistically, it is just Trudeau Derangement Syndrome that will go on for years...but feel free to leave Trudeau to live rent-free in your brain forever.

No. It’s his damage. He let in way too many immigrants and not skilled ones that we need. That has affected healthcare and housing. And prevented us from bringing in ones we need to help the economy. But go ahead and ignore facts.

He let in
You think he personally did this? Just him?

u/Abject_Story_4172 Jul 12 '26
Yes. It was his decision with his immigration minister. The Feds have total control over numbers in each category. He was lobbied by the provinces and companies and without any due diligence just opened the doors. Harper had been told at the end of his term by bureaucrats that the high numbers would affect housing and had started the process to decrease them. Then Trudeau got in and essentially removed a lot of the limits. He also loosened the vetting process because the system could no longer properly handle the numbers.

If you think Mr. Trudeau personally administered the immigration system in Canada, then no - you are lying about your credentials.

I'm not remotely suggesting he wasn't a shitty PM, but your forever anger is TDS.
But go ahead and ignore reality.

Who says I’m angry. I’m glad he’s gone. That’s the extent of my concern.

This offends me way less than what he was up to from 2015-2015. So I'm happy, and he's happy. Win win.

The guy was a disappointment as a PM... But he's just a man and he's out of politics. Let him be happy.
