But you elected him anyway.

A new poll finds that more Canadians distrust their government than trust it for the first time in 17 years, following a series of ethics scandals surrounding liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The poll, part of a global survey known as the Edelman Trust Barometer, also found a profound distrust of the nation’s major institutions and elites, with nearly three in four Canadians responding that they trust leaked information more than they would trust information deliberately published by a corporation or institution.
The Edelman poll finds that 43 percent of Canadians trust their government, with 57 percent saying they do not trust it. 80 percent of Canadians said they felt “the elites who run our institutions are out of touch with regular people.” To compare, in the United States, a nation often more distrustful than Canada of its elected officials, 52 percent said they trusted the government. This is up from 44 percent under President Barack Obama in 2015.
This is the first time in 17 years, since the tenure of Liberal Party Prime Minister Jean Chretien, that the poll found a plurality of Canadians distrusted their government. Even among those who expressed a general trust in government, Canadians appeared largely unconvinced of the quality of their current leadership. 61 percent of those surveyed answered positively to the statement “I do not have confidence that our current leaders will be able to successfully address our country’s challenges.”

Trudeau was elected for ONE reason only - he is the son of the most famous Prime Minister in Canadian history, and his mother was an internationally known party girl. If his name wasn’t Trudeau, there is no way in hell he would have been elected.
I still have no idea what made his dad so popular to just hand the PM to his son.
Sure he didn’t mess around when it came to Quebec terrorists and he was very key in stopping the separatist referendum, but that was him, not Justine.
His dad was a communist.
The world elites wanted another communist, so they used name recognition to get it. Trudeau is also a moslem.
Has this guy even been in a year? Canada is in trouble.....pray for them as you pray for us.
“His dad was a communist.”
I suspect his dad was a communist South of the border and not North of it,
He clearly is given over to that same evil spirit that Obama was a tool for,
The leftist youth of Canada came out en masse for Trudeau. I think the fact that they’ve become VERY quiet on social media about their one-time Communist darling is very telling.
The youth of Canada is delusional. My niece voted for him because “she could relate to him because he does yoga.”
That was the end of that conversation.
Trudeau promised proportional representation in the parliament after the next election.
He broke the promise.
Trudeau promised not to build oil pipelines.
He approved some in Canada and is now in with Trump on building Keystone XL.
He broke that promise.
Jane Fonda was in Canada speaking at some Greenpeace event last month and said “we shouldn’t be fooled by good looking liberals no matter how well spoken they are....”

I read on Facebook some comments about Trudeau: “I wish we could have him here instead of that imposter Trump”....delusional people are everywhere.
Sadly, that’s the litmus test for most millenials. “OH, he does X? I do X too! I MUST vote for him!”
