Oh dear.
I can just about understand someone refusing a Covid vaccination, but 'protesting' to agitate others to not vaccinate is sedition.
Lock them up!

You would have thought, given the extent to which his dad was a massive wrong 'un, the electorate would have seen through him.
Oh well.
The Canadian electorate has always been odd. When I lived in Vancouver the province was run by 'Social Credit', a weird reactionary right wing rag bag of farmers, tee-totallers, evangelicals, property developers and grifters.
They were protesting because they were being told they couldn’t do their jobs without a vaccination. And then got their bank accounts seized as a result. Surely you arent defending that?

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.
You can't do politics without pissing some people off. It's about making hard decisions. Some get over it, others don't. Eventually the number of people you've pissed off and haven't forgiven you becomes enough to force you out.

Vive le football... LIBRE!
And Poilièvre is better?!?!? He'd be 10x worse. He's not a red Tory, he's a RWNJ. Any sane, social-democratically inclined citizen should vote for Singh if they don't want Trudeau any longer. Poilièvre is Trump/Johnson in wolf's clothing.
Wasn't it a case of the banks just freezing the accounts? Saying they seized them suggests they took the money. Also, wasn't it in response to the protestors shutting down/blocking roads etc
Yes so ultimately you are frozen out of your ability to pay for anything with your own money. That is serious 1984 territory.
Is it PotG?

Been hugely unpopular for a while now and my partner and her family and friends are relieved more than happy that he’s finally gone.

FIRST READING: How much Canada has declined in 10 years of Trudeau (and a few ways it hasn't)
It's not all his fault, but here are some of the more striking ways the country has changed compared to 2015

From here in England, he just seems like a sensible bloke.
What is it he's done that makes him unpopular? Are Canadians really looking south and thinking...... yup, that's what we need as well?

Doubled national debt in under 10 full years:
“According to a rolling “debt clock” maintained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, the federal debt on New Year’s Day stood at $1.2 trillion.
At the beginning of 2015, it stood at $612 billion. In pure dollar terms, that’s a doubling of the debt in just 10 years; the accumulated liabilities from 2015 to 2025 are about the same as the accumulated liabilities from 1867 to 2015.”
Failed to meaningfully lower carbon emissions, despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars on initiatives:
“In 2015, the average Canadian was responsible for 20.9 tonnes of greenhouse gases. As of the federal government’s most current figures from 2022, it’s now at 18.2. That’s a reduction, but it’s a reduction that’s basically in line with trends that were already underway. Over the 10 years of the Harper government, for instance, per-capita GHG emissions fell from 23.3 tonnes in 2006 to the 20.9 counted in 2015.”
Worth also noting that Trudeau has a record number of personal private chartered flights for a Canadian PM, and when questioned about what he personally does to help lower emissions failed to come up with an answer, before stating he buys “boxed water” instead of plastic water in his home.
Homicide rates are the highest since the 1990’s:
“In 2014, Canada recorded 516 homicides — the lowest murder rate since 1966. As of the 2023 figures just tallied by Statistics Canada, it’s now up to 778 per year — which is actually a reduction from the year before, when murder rates reached highs not seen since 1992.
There’s also been a huge rise in handgun crimes. In 2014, there were 14 handgun crimes for every 100,000 Canadians. By 2022, that was up to 19.3.”
Record high housing prices:
“In November of 2015 — the month that Trudeau was sworn in as prime minister — the Canadian Real Estate Association pegged Canada’s average sale price for a home at $456,186 (about $580,000 in 2025 dollars).
There was a brief period in 2022 where home prices surged to $868,400 — a near-doubling of the 2015 figures in dollar terms. But at the end of 2024, CREA calculated the average sale price as sitting at $694,411. When accounting for inflation, that’s a rise of about 20 per cent over the 2015 figures.”
In addition to this, fewer new homes have been built in the last ten years than in any other period in recorded Canadian history.
Overdose deaths have quadrupled following his law to decriminalise drugs:
“According to a paper by the Canadian Medical Association, an estimated 2,000 Canadians died of drug overdoses in 2015 — about five per day.
As of the most recent federal data, that’s now quadrupled to 21 per day. In just the first six months of 2024, 3,787 Canadians died from opioid poisoning. What’s more, this is all occurring despite a vast government infrastructure designed to reverse fatal overdoses.”
Those are just some of the “highlights” when discussing the domestic welfare of Canadians.
Otherwise on a personal level, he has lost the support of his party, with many of his MP’s and several cabinet resigning. He survived two votes of no confidence by the skin of his teeth. He has also made numerous diplomatic faux-pas, falling out with America (easily done) but also India and China.
The country is doing very poorly economically and his tentpole policies have universally failed.
