Trudeau’s normalization of Scandal puts him fairly far down. He shouldn’t have survived SNC Lavilin.

In my opinion Trudeau’s only real success and it’s a significant one was vaccine procurement.
A couple I'd give Trudeau credit for: $10/day daycare (Still a work in progress), legalized marijuana, dental and pharma care (limited and mainly because of the NDP but still), child care benefit, Trump v1.0 and CUSMA

A couple that he gets credit for, and not in a good way: immigration and housing (although housing is certainly not him alone, this had been on a bad trajectory but he didn't do a lot to stop or fix it), broken promise on delivering electoral reform.

I'm also of the view that Carbon tax was a good policy (*ducks for cover*), but he kind of torpedoed that one towards the end.
