I was never the biggest fan; a good friend of mine worked with him as a teacher and wasn't especially impressed which was the first I knew of him. As he became more prominent, I appreciated his demeanor at times, but he also came across as a little too performative for my tastes. But the Liberal party lines up most closely with my own values, so that's where I most often park my vote. We also had a Liberal MLA who I could support. As time has gone on, I've become more tired of Trudeau, and the Liberals have had a number of missteps, so I'll definitely be looking another direction. Sadly, this happens just as the Conservatives have elected pretty much the most unappealing leader they could have IMO, so I'll likely be taking a look at our local NDP & Green candidates next election. We've recently moved to an even more Conservative riding, so my vote is unlikely to matter anyway.

No, once again it's nothing like Trump and the GOP - you've got a really strange need to bring Trumpian politics into this thread at times when it really doesn't fit. Like in every country, of course there is a % of voters that are diehard right or left who aren't inclined to change their vote, but we're nowhere near as entrenched and divided as the US is. Also, we have multiple strong parties, so it's easier for us to move our vote.

Oh. So it's not like Trump and the GOP, and people will not continue to vote for him?
