Public Opinion and Trudeau's Political Capital
One of the main challenges Justin Trudeau faces is the dwindling political capital he has, which hampers his ability to drive public opinion. Instead of shaping public opinion, he is often being driven by it. This lack of political capital is evident in negative views towards him, with many perceiving him as lacking vision, passion, and authenticity. As a result, there are growing calls for him to step down as Prime Minister. The Liberal Party members are concerned about the potential for a Conservative leader like Pierre Poilievre, who they believe could lead the country in a more conservative direction. There is a need for decisive action, either through a clear direction from Trudeau or by opening up the leadership to avoid a potential Polyev government.
