Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's aggressive policy towards India is being linked to his declining popularity rating and increasing dissatisfaction in the country. Trudeau is in the news ahead of next year's general elections. This is why he and his Labor Party are trying to woo the politically important Sikh community. Complaints are increasing in Canada regarding inflation, poor health services and increasing crime rates. According to an Ipsos survey, only 26% of people considered Trudeau the best candidate for prime minister, 19 percentage points less than Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. In such a situation, the survey has estimated that if elections are held today, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre can become the next Prime Minister of Canada.
If elections were held today, Canada's opposition leader and Conservative Party chief Pierre Poilievre is the most popular choice to lead the country. This has come to light not in one but in many surveys. This opinion poll, conducted exclusively for Global News Canada by market research and public opinion company Ipsos, has given Trudeau sleepless nights.
Trudeau's party suffered electoral setbacks one after another
This has come to light when Trudeau's party recently suffered two major electoral setbacks. Last month, the Liberal Party lost a seat considered safe in Montreal, while the same happened in Toronto three months ago. Earlier, Jagmeet Singh's New Democratic Party had withdrawn support to the Liberal government. Jagmeet Singh has been a supporter of Khalistan. Meanwhile, demands from within Trudeau's party for him to step down are also increasing. Many experts believe that the condition of the Liberal Party may also be like that of the Conservatives of Britain. Although Trudeau has twice passed no-confidence motions in Parliament, his position is considered weak. There are about 7.7 lakh Sikhs in Canada, the fourth largest ethnic group, and a portion of them support the demand for Khalistan.
Even Trudeau's resignation can't save Liberal Party: Survey
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's unpopularity is being considered a major obstacle to the future of his Liberal Party. The opposition Conservatives are consistently ahead of the Liberal Party in election surveys. Another survey found that even if Trudeau resigns as his party leader, there will be no significant improvement in the party's situation. According to the Abacus survey, 59% of people expressed a negative opinion of Trudeau, while only 33% had a positive opinion of him.
Additionally, an Angus Reid Institute survey revealed that dissatisfaction with the Liberal Party will persist even after Trudeau's resignation. According to the survey, if Trudeau resigns after the next election, it could further weaken the position of the Liberal Party. 21% believe Trudeau's resignation will take them away from the Liberal Party, while only 11% believe it will attract them to the party.
