Trudeau’s decline

Re: Trudeau Falls To New Low In Poll, John Ivison, July 23. With limited experience, it was only a matter of time before the traction gained from his father’s name, would be undermined by his making serious gaffes, causing Canadians to take a careful look at Justin Trudeau’s ability to run Canada. He has also taken the Liberals further left than any of his predecessors, raising questions within his party.

Initially, Trudeau was greatly assisted by an adoring media, who saw him having the best chance of defeating Stephen Harper. With NDP Leader Tom Mulcair’s rise in the polls, he is now the media darling, while they have abandoned Trudeau.
