Anyone? You act like there's no simple answer to your stupid statement. Trudeau is going to leave Canada with zero seats if he runs again. A Toilet Bowl Mop as leader will win more seats than Justin Trudeau.
Suggestions?

Hearing so much “Trudeau needs to step down”…sure…replaced by whom?

I know lots of “Trudeau out” liberal friends, but they don’t want PP or Singh, so help a brutha out here…who can ensure the northern turnip doesn’t get the keys?

I wrote a column when Trump won urging Trudeau to stop performing progressivism. It used to work. It not longer works. Seems like he can’t stop.

To survive Donald Trump, Canada must do these four things. Justin Trudeau is going to hate them all
I would prefer to carry on living in a country with a small military, one that cuts emissions and welcomes refugees, but that is not the world we are living

Heavy vehicles = more pollution

Heavier vehicles, including EVs (which have very heavy batteries), wear down tires faster and generate more microplastics.

Industry experts say manufacturers should be targeted with weight-based taxes to encourage lighter vehicle designs.
