Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

No governments are popular... let the rage flow ;)

Canadians angrier than ever at governments: latest Rage Index​


While the burgeoning sunshine and the Canucks’ run in the NHL post-season may have you smiling, there’s a chance not much else is.

According to the latest “Rage Index,” there are record levels of anger amongst Canadian adults.

The Toronto based polling company, Pollara Strategic Insights says its latest survey found people are most angry about the economy, and both the federal and provincial governments.

In B.C., Pollara says those surveyed are specifically angry at the David Eby-led NDP government.

It says the level of anger in the province has shot up by 16 per cent since January alone, which marks the first time in nearly two years of their recording that the majority of British Columbians have felt that way.

Pollara polled 1,507 Canadians online over four days between April 22 and 26 this year, and identified six major topics that fuel the fire of the country’s rage:
  • The federal government
  • Your provincial government
  • The Canadian economy
  • Your own personal financial situation
  • The types of changes happening in Canada
  • The latest stories in the news
B.C. is tied with Alberta at 58 per cent of its population estimated to be annoyed or angry about the six topics. B.C. is less angry than Ontario at 62 per cent, and the Atlantic provinces who reported 59 per cent.

According to Pollara, nationally, more than 60 per cent of Canadians surveyed are angry with the federal government.


 
I'm not indigenous, but I'm as Canadian as any indigenous person alive today.


I've also said all along the trudeau is not here to help Canadians, but to destroy the country and our way of life, for the globalist cause.
It is so nice to read a post that I thought could have been mine, but wasn't...

Someone else who see's what his goal has been from the start. I honestly don't know how anybody can see him as anything else at this point.
 
This may hurt Team Red a lot. CPC funded attack ads during the Stanley Cup finals.

Team Blue has not hesitated spending its contributions to good effect. Last year’s ad push for a kinder, gentler PP seems to have worked for now. It’ll be interesting to see the effects of this latest push.

He's likely shifted to a front runners campaign. The attacks have established him as the most preferred candidate, now they're having him show how he would act as the PM while the current PM disintegrates into incoherent attacks and cries of racism and abortion rights removal. The contrast come election time will be stark.

Barring any big bumps in the road, yup - especially with an electorate tired of same old, same old.

Remember the little boy who cried "WOLF"?
 
"Gen. Rick Hillier: Ideology masking as leadership killed the Canadian dream.

“This is not Canada,” is a phrase we hear far too often. It seems to come from every politician, from all levels. It’s exclaimed after every illegal demonstration, hate crime, blocked street, gang shooting, home invasion, car theft and emergency room horror story.
Those exclamations ring hollow as food bank lines stretch longer and as hopeless thousand-yard stares of good men and women grow more prevalent. While dreams of home ownership fade, shantytowns grow and our confidence in the future plummets. We hear the official inflation rate, but it bears little resemblance to our real-life experience. “This is not Canada” grates, harshly, especially when it comes from those who seem so out of touch with reality.
The Canadian dream, so wonderfully launched in 1867 with the partnership that was the Dominion of Canada, is dead. Killed by ideology masking as leadership. Slaughtered by economic suicide posing as climate control. Bled by crushing taxes wasted on scandalous and foolish endeavours. Crushed by debt that compromises long-term fiscal viability. Wounded by battles over responsible care for children. Frightened by our abandonment of some 300,000 Canadians, attacked not because they’re bombing Gaza, but because they’re Jews.
Coupled with increasing brain drain, capital flight and failing infrastructure, we face a harsh reality: the great experiment, a federation of like-minded peoples that was the Dominion of Canada, is failing.
Our responses are feeble. More regulations. More and higher taxes. Massive amounts of immigration, without a plan to integrate. Decrying American politics without acknowledging that our dirty politics are homegrown, with leaders dividing instead of uniting. Think of former governor general Julie Payette, who as head of state mocked religious Canadians by complaining that “we are still debating and still questioning whether life was a divine intervention or whether it was coming out of a natural process let alone, oh my goodness, a random process.”
Our leaders missed a truly inspirational opportunity during the COVID pandemic: to form a “war cabinet” to combat the enemy attacking our nation. Just as the United Kingdom’s Winston Churchill did in 1940, in the face of another brutal enemy, we could perhaps have risen above the fray of partisan politics in our darkest hour. We did not.
The cure for what ails us is simple to say, but difficult, perhaps impossible, to implement: leadership.
Real leaders have a vision for what we can be, a strategy to get there, a plan to execute the strategy and priorities to get things done daily. Those who wish to be political leaders should articulate what their leadership will mean and how it will function, including how they would hold the public service accountable for delivering priorities under the plan.
Equally crucial to a leader’s vision is the economy. In the federal domain, any strategy should consider how to unfetter and inspire a private sector that delivers transformational technology, investment opportunity, well-paid employees and hope for a better future. Underscoring all of this should be a rethink of how, and how much, we tax. Canadians are tired of “tax and spend” policies.
Canada should also have a plan to develop, rather than dismantle its energy sector. Climate change is real. The country must stop committing economic suicide as a solution, however.
Instead, leaders should work with Indigenous peoples to produce the cleanest, safest, most ethical LNG to power the world. Canadian LNG can replace coal for power generation throughout much of Asia and the rest of the world, reducing global carbon emissions by millions of tons while creating massive economic benefits for Canadians. Our contribution and leadership to combat climate change should be enormous, not ludicrous.
Last on this incomplete list is the empowering of personal ambition, initiative and ingenuity. De-regulate, remove red tape and stop being an obstacle. Our current housing crisis, our inability to dream of owning a home, can be traced in large part to the red tape and taxes with which we have handicapped both builders and buyers.
It all starts with responsible leadership. We have succeeded in tough times before. As Canada’s prime minister during the First World War, Sir Robert Borden led through a brutal conscription crisis. During the Second World War, then-prime minister Mackenzie King became a powerful influencer to two of the greatest leaders ever, Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, shaping the world to Canada’s advantage.
Strong prime minsters continued to strengthen the nation in the decades that followed: Lester B. Pearson in the ’60s, Brian Mulroney in the ’80s and ’90s and ruthless Jean Chretien in the ’90s into the early 2000s.
We need that leadership now. Enough of the gaslighting, evading, blaming and deluding. The mission is clear: make this our Canada.

Which makes me wonder when he's going to announce the launch of his political career...
 
This isn't helping, Team Red ....
Joly seems to have made a few comments.


Note she is limiting that to the caucus.

As good as he was in his job during his tenure, if he was willing to follow a political leader pretty much unquestioningly as a whipped member of any caucus, I suspect he'd have already run. I stand to be surprised, though ...

Provincially maybe.

I don’t think so, TBH. He’s got a good gig as a straight shooter for the most part whose legacy will be always focusing on, and publicly acknowledging the “the terrific work and dedication of these fine men and women serving their nation…”

Definitely being very careful (some would say mealy-mouthed) with words…so they aren’t ruling out denying any of the independent…

Or just relying on the narrow legalistic definition of treason, rather than the morally clear idea of an oath-breaker serving foreign interests.
