There's a difference between doing stupid things, and being stupid. Even the smartest voters can be fooled...yes, even 3 times.
I've always thought that the main reason for sticking with Trudeau, in spite of his failings, were:
- Weak opposition
- Various political games played by the Liberals
- Many voters lulled into a state of apathy i.e. no real pressing need to change. Times were too good for many voters in the most populated parts of Canada. Things like the wealth effect from real estate, low interest rates, low inflation, easy borrowing, low food and energy costs, government handouts, etc.
I think the real consequences of the Trudeau years are just beginning, and will become more clear and obvious with time.
just my opinion
