In light of this and the past 8-ish years, what do you think PM Trudeau's chances of getting re-elected are? Conservatives failed to defeat Trudeau in 2015, 2019 and 2021 so do you think the next election will be different? Why so?
We'll see I think they're will be alot of malaise in the electorate. The liberals will retain support in and around Toronto, but will lose it in other places
but why will this be the case in 2025 when it wasn't the case in 2019 and 2021? republicans thought that the bad economy would be enough to convince american voters to support them instead of biden+democrats but it didn't. what if the economy gets better for the next 2-ish years? or what if canadians care more about other issues? I'm pretty anti-trudeau myself but I want to hear a case for why JT will lose the next election that is grounded in more than just a desire to see him gone
It’s almost as if countries are simply re-assessing their own levels of appeasement and tolerance of an increasingly assertive government in China as opposed to the development of a much proclaimed “US led ‘Cold War 2.0’”
I find these issues really interesting in Canada. From an outside perspective Canada-China relations seem to have worsened considerably during Trudeau's premiership. Compare this to the UK where Conservative government has stayed comparatively pro-China in recent years, particularly compared with Canada and the United States and even some EU members. In fact during the 2010-2015 coalition government the Lib Dems actively tried to prevent closer China relations on human rights grounds, against the will of the Conservatives, with government becoming more pro-China post 2015 with only the Conservatives. I find the difference to be curious.
I also find the controversy around Bill C-11 fascinating. In the UK the government is trying to force through its Online Safety Bill which has the support of the Labour Party as well. This particular bill is more far-reaching than Bill C-11 as it covers almost any sort of website or other online services and seeks to regulate and even ban all manner of things and even imprison software developers who don't comply. In the UK there is little discussion, nevermind controversy about this though, which saddens me. I'd be interested if you have any thoughts about how this compares to Bill C-11.

But idk, I guess it’s the boogeyman you know…?
