Standing by the docks in downtown Nanaimo, B.C., on Monday morning, Liberal MP Alexandre Mendes told Radio-Canada she came to this week’s Liberal caucus retreat with a message from her constituents: “dozens and dozens” of them were “adamant” the Liberal Party needed a new leader.
Speaking later to CBC’s Power & Politics, Mendes said it was hard to pinpoint a specific reason or issue to explain her constituents’ feelings for the prime minister.
“It’s a very generalized … ‘we’re tired of his face’ kind of thing,” she explained.
Trudeau underestimates how many people will vote against their own best interests because of a grudge.
And when their social services are cut, and they’re made homeless, or sick / dead / disabled because they couldn’t get the healthcare they needed, they’ll still find a way to blame anyone other than the people responsible for extending their misery.
