Justin Trudeau has become politically toxic

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has become so toxic in Canada that provincial leaders and hopeful leaders alike are tying their opponents to him.

The BC Conservatives became the latest to do so, as they try to win over undecided BC voters with the provincial election just four weeks away.

“Gang violence soars under Eby-Trudeau alliance,” their latest ad reads. 

Although Premier David Eby isn’t a Liberal, the BC NDP and federal Liberals have aligned on enough policies—such as drug decriminalization—that linking them makes sense, especially with Justin Trudeau’s growing unpopularity. According to a July public-opinion poll by Mainstreet Research, 60% of Canadians want Trudeau to step down as Prime Minister.

The BC Conservatives aren’t the only party to tie their provincial opponent to the federal leader. In Ontario, Conservative Premier Doug Ford has also run attack ads on the Ontario Liberal leader, Bonnie Crombie, saying she’s friends with Trudeau, showing a video of them merely sitting together. 

Distancing from Trudeau

Crombie has tried to distance herself from Trudeau, saying the federal party doesn’t represent her provincial party before branding herself as “more of a centrist”.

Even Newfoundland’s Liberal Premier, Andrew Furey, has openly come out against Trudeau, doing so in March when Canadians began rallying against Trudeau over the carbon tax hike.

Since then, BC’s NDP Premier Eby has also tried to distance himself from Trudeau after the catastrophic fallout of the drug decriminalization campaign that the two worked on together. And just last week, Eby did a shocking U-turn on the carbon tax, which the Trudeau Liberals require, saying he longer supports it. Eby’s flip flop came after demonising the BC Conservative leader Rustad, who has said all along that he’s against the levy.

Even the mainstream media, Justin’s go-to source for misinformation and PR defence, is asking the question of when he’ll resign, with the Toronto Star printing headlines like “Justin Trudeau’s political career is over. He can walk away with dignity now or stick around to get creamed by a man he loathes”.

Justin Trudeau’s days as Prime Minister appear to be numbered, and until then, NDP, Liberal, and Conservative politicians will likely continue to leverage his unpopularity to their advantage.
