Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was ranked Canada’s worst leader since the 1960s in a new study.
An investigation conducted by Research Co. and released September 4 shows that 38 percent of Canadians overall said they disliked Trudeau the most compared with a list of other prime ministers.
A distant second as the most disliked was Stephen Harper, who was the former head of the Conservative Party, at 14 percent. Trudeau’s dad, Pierre, came in third at 7 percent.
Trudeau has been prime minister since 2015.
In western Canada, dislike for Trudeau was the strongest, with 55 percent of Albertans and 52 percent each in Saskatchewan and Manitoba saying they are not fond of him.
Research Co. has been tracking the popularity of current and former prime ministers for the past five years. Trudeau’s unpopularity has risen dramatically since 2022, nearly doubling since that year.
The poll was taken from feedback of 1,002 Canadians from August 19 to 21.
When it comes to who Canadians think was the best prime minister historically, Trudeau’s dad was listed as the most popular at 18 percent, followed by Harper at 16 percent.
Dislike for Trudeau and his Liberal government’s continued push of a pro-abortion and LGBT-charged agenda can also be reflected in recent polls regarding who Canadians would vote for in the next federal election.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is on track to win the next federal election in a landslide. Indeed, recent polls show that the Conservatives under Poilievre would win a majority government in a landslide were an election held today. Jagmeet Singh’s National Democratic Party (NDP) and Trudeau’s Liberals would lose a massive number of seats.
Also, the likelihood of a federal election happening before next year just increased. On Wednesday, Singh announced he was pulling his official support for Trudeau’s Liberals, meaning there is now a possibility a fall election could be held should a non-confidence vote pass in the House of Commons.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, the Liberals were hoping to delay the 2025 federal election by a few days in what many see as a stunt to secure pensions for MPs who are projected to lose their seats. Approximately 80 MPs would qualify for pensions should they sit as MPs until at least October 27, 2025, which is the newly proposed election date. The election date as it stands now is set for October 20, 2025.
