Never invade Russia in the winter. Never fight a land war in Asia. Never go for a third term as Prime Minister in Canada. It makes the electorate hate you. I don’t complain much about his policies, but Trudeau is screwing his own party over and now we might end up with the Trumpiest of Canadian politicians as PM.

    Or…polls reflect the current state of voter opinion and this should serve as a useful warning to Trudeau and the Liberal Party that they should choose a new leader before the next election. No need to go full conspiracy.

      It only reflects opinions from “people who responded to our poll” which is not a demographic representative of voters.

        Sure, and there is a reasonable discussion to be had about how pollsters compose panels and use statistical techniques to try, with varying degrees of success, to make those panels more representative of the population. However, simply dismissing all polls as “voter manipulation” is unreasonable.

      Choosing a new leader would be suicide for the liberals
