I hear that there was some dude named John A. Macdonald that had some scandals too but ended up with 6 majority governments. The original apple and the original Canadian political sin, if you will.
Trudeau Sr. tanked his party so bad that they were out of power for 9 years (which is less than the 13 years they were in power shortly after with Chretien/Martin and roughly the same time as the current PM who bears the same name and some DNA).
