On October 19th 2015, Justin Trudeau won the 42nd Canadian Federal Election by a landslide over Stephen Harper of the Conservatives and Thomas Mulcair of the NDP. It was a Trudeau majority, which was expected. This was 4 years ago though, now Justin Trudeau is facing some problems and it looks like Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is right behind him with NDP leader Jagmeet Singh in a distant third. Trudeau’s term in office has been okay I would say. I have liked his stance on the enviornment, but there is a lot of things that I would consider disappointing. The first thing that might be considered disappointing is that Justin Trudeau went on a trip to an island in the Bahamas with his family which cost 215,000 dollars. This was all paid by taxpayer money. Another thing is that Trudeau like the opioid crisis get way out of control. Finally, Trudeau was not able to get the trans-mountain pipeline working on time and so far construction hasn’t even started. Although there have been good steps with the environment and giving Immigrants a good chance with the recent U.S government the national debt of the country has gone way up and Forgetting to mention Alberta on Canada day. Sometimes, in my opinion he treats immigrants better than his citizens. I think that Justin Trudeau must prove himself loyal to Canada if he wants to win this upcoming election, and he must focus on looking like a stronger leader than Scheer and Singh. It is sometimes the image that people look for. This is coming at a time of crisis for Trudeau since there have been scandals upcoming and popularity for him has been declining. Still I don’t see any of these 3 candidates being a great Prime Minister. They must prove themselves to me and the whole country over the next 7 months. This election is proving to be a lot closer than the last and it will stay close. This time, Trudeau’s second time charm may not be enough to beet Scheer.
