I say it myself personally, all politicians are pigs and all pigs have the same noses. They all lie, cheat and BS without a doubt. Comparing Trudeau to other Canadian PM's we have had things are different with him. He get's openly mocked from people from the left now for things like Blackface, playing the feminist card while railroading women and abusing them. His handling of a lot of important files has left a lot of people beyond frustrated and desperate.

American and European's who look at Canada fondly are all asking why is there such vitriol towards him? Why is he beyond hated by a lot of people who actually voted for him. I believe it was a CBC interview with him where they asked why this is so personal? People can't comprehend the reaction.

He has brought out a reaction in people where they despise him. I don't agree with it at all but look at Trump and Musk. These are people who have far more important things to worry about in their lives but are taking pleasure in openly mocking him. No other Canadian PM would ever garner this level of harassment and attention from people in positions like Trump or Musk. I will repeat I do not agree with it but it's only happening to Trudeau because it's him.

Trump, who is beyond hated to a degree that isn't healthy for a lot of people, call it 50% of America, has 50% of America with support. Trudeau doesn't even have his own people and party.
Trump and Musk (is he an elected official now?) are wealthy and powerful internet edgelords who have expressed disdain for many more people than just Trudeau. There's no guarantees they won't start taking pot shots at Pollievre if he actually needs to stand up to them. There's a lot of reasons not to like Trudeau but these guys dunking on him is not evidence of anything other than their own lack of maturity or tact. Let's not act like the incoming US administration is normal.
