7. Agreed. Dropping electoral reform so quickly was a mistake

Many people voted for him on that basis. It's obvious that revamping the electoral system would likely cut into the Liberals' number of seats so Trudeau just jettisoned the idea.

He could have overcame that, I think, but the SNC Lavalin scandal, the way he treated the Indigenous protester at the fundraising dinner, the recent changes to immigration policy and the pending trial of Admiral Mark Norman are going to spell BIG trouble for our soon to be former Prime Minister.
