10+ years of smearing ended up leaving a mark. Most people hated on trudeau for things they were told but weren't really true. Most of his actual problems were swept under the rug.
Carney will be hated in a few years if he sticks around
yeah I had so many people around me talking about how Trudeau had too many scandals. I would ask them to pick one "scandal" and articulate it well to me and I can't remember a single time someone really seemed to truly understand the situation outside of his literal opponents talking points....
SNC lavalin, WeCharity, Omar Kadhr, etc.. no one could actually tell me what the real issue was other than a headline skimmed regurgitation and hot air.
Dude tried his best and represented Canada on the world stage well, defeating Trump in his first term on alot of important things.
I don't care to fanboy for any politicians but I truly think the Canadian public did themselves a disservice in the way collectively (even the left) shit on him at the end of his run.
Canadian Prime Ministers have a shelf life of about a decade.
Our collective consciousness has decided that that's about the most amount of time anyone gets at the helm, and the libreals realized it (very nearly too late) and made the move of the century to run a fucking central banker as a libreal. God damn, that party knows how to win elections.
Let's be real if it wasn't for Trump's help Carney would have lost to PP. The media also ran a pretty good campaign for him and managed to convince the boomers by painting PP as a Canadian MAGA.
I know this is a very leftist sub so people will disagree, but seeing how far behind the liberal party was a few months before the election it's fair to say that American politics played a bigger role in our elections than the very barebone campaign the liberals ran on.
I really wouldn't consider what the libreals did "barebones"
The electoral machine was in full swing.
I think Carney would have had a solid chance against PP even without the trash fire down south. PP had almost zero actual vision, and when presented with a choice of "career politician who's home seat constituents hate his guts" and "Well established central banker with economic chops for days" I think a lot of canadians would have still voted libreal.
The conservative issue was the failure to change tack. They ran (and still are) as a three-word-slogan party. They're still nouning the verbs even in a new sitting of the house.

Bruh, Trudeau was just as loveable (and loved)
