I have a bad feeling about next week. 2 high profile mass shootings in the USA. Trudeau saying yesterday that further gun control measures to be announced shortly, today's suspect with a rifle shot in proxomity to Toronto schools..

This is going to get messy.

Our laws just aren't working, there's still mass shootings in another country! Quick, make more laws here to stop crime in other countries!

The day that JT is voted out is going to be a national day of celebration.

Is he going to get voted out though? Genuine question, because despite the stupid expensive cost of living (along side these equally stupid gun laws) people are still cheering him on. Not to mention the smear campaign on PP or anything centre right.

More likely he is ousted from within before the general election.

He is a walking PR nightmare.

More likely he is ousted

or he'll quit as he's becoming a liability and he doesn't like criticism. Doesn't matter one bit, though. Freeland will carry on the LPC manifesto of ridding Canada of all private ownership of guns.

Bröther I'm reaching for any and all whitepills that I can.

How else is he a PR nightmare? I see everyone from people in BC to Ontario heckling his appearances at talks and rallies, yet he has a coalition until 2025. It's doom and gloom

Oh yeah Im aware. But he also managed to survive that because of legacy media and majority of his voter base not giving a shit
