It’s great that Pierre lost and he probably lost to someone better, but were there better candidates for the common people on the ballot? How are liberals as a whole for Canada? Would another party have been better - greens for example?
I’ve seen a community about better vote counting system, so it seems Canada is still a first past the post country?
I agree with the other two commenters. Also in my opinion, Trudeau had some good policy but terrible PR around it. The “carbon tax” should never had been called a tax from the beginning…most people got more money back, but everyone thought they were paying the tax. And Trudeau grew up in politics on the public stage. He took advantage of his privelige at times and wasn’t always careful with the optics of his actions. Too many opportunities for his opposition to criticize him and turn public favour against him.
It wasn’t officially called a carbon tax. The people who called it that were the ones attacking it (pretty much exclusively the Conservatives)
