There's a massive disconnect with voters, who believe the Federal government is ruining their lives when it's the premier who impacts their daily lives.

This is why the "fuck Trudeau" crowd is viewed as a bunch of idiots. They acknowledge a problem, but blame the wrong person. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

They also tend to blame high taxes for literally everything wrong in the world.

My brother in law, driving around in his completly blacked out SUV with the Fuck Trudeau sticker on the back is like this. Meanwhile, he is about to head into his annual unemployment period (that CPC tried to cut off last time), enjoying legal weed (CPC voted against), paying $10 a day for daycare, collecting the childcare benefit monthly, collecting the carbon rebate , had his income taxes cut, had his industry kept afloat by pandemic spending, I could go on all day.

But he is convinced by memes and shit he hears from the other guys on his smoke break that Trudeau's carbon tax is the reason he and wife, both of whom do seasonal, unskilled labour jobs, can't afford a 4 bedroom house rental.

Well that, and good old fashioned rural racism. Apparently, before Indian people started working at the Tim's they never got a coffee order wrong. You know, the good old days where young white fast food workers were world fucking famous for flawless service.

Like dude, please, tell me more about how hard done by the Liberals you are as you drag on your 76th cigarette of the day and slip words in over your 4th Coors light.

Can't wait for all the insufferable glee I'll be faced with from him if Pierre is made PM. Wonder how he'll manage to blame Trudeau when the daycare funding dries up and the seasonal EI cuts come back.
