MODERATORS
Trudeau is poison to the Liberal brand. In Canada we don't vote parties in, we vote parties (and leaders) out. Trudeau has been PM for just over 9 years, the 7th longest serving PM.
What will happen is we'll vote the Cons in, they'll make hilariously huge mistakes like they always do, get 1-2 terms, then get voted out in favour of another Liberal government. If you go back throughout our history we have almost exactly 2-1 Lib - Con governments by time in office.
Poilievre is an anti-abortion career politician who is going to try to ape what Trump did, only every time he speaks he loses votes. He has a whiny voice and is widely referred to as 'Milhouse' because, well, he looks like Milhouse. He's not a strong-man and his public speaking is embarrassing. He'll brown nose Trump as much as he can and absolutely eat it when Trumps policies fuck our economy.
