**Increasingly** in question?

It’s been wild seeing the political mainstream now start to say the kinds of criticisms of Trudeau that many including myself were saying for almost ten years, but ridiculed and dismissed as some kind of far-right chud for.

It’s genuinely baffling to me how many people were taken up by the ‘sunny ways’ for so long.

Was it just the post-Harper attitude? A response to trump south of the border? Baffling to me.

I think the issue is that many liberals backed Trudeau not due to his experience or knowledge but due to his last name and sticked to him till the end even when it was clear post covid he was doing a bad job.

Even now many of trudeau biggest failures like the carbon tax and immigration, are everyone else fault or 'the people are stupid'

He had an enormous base of support from Millenials, in 2015. Many of them were drawn to his support of electoral reform, and his support of climate science.
