Weed Law Top Trudeau Legacy: POLL
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not getting much wind down time before he ends his term leading the country.

This is a poll from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute.

Facing daily challenges from the Trump administration, Trudeau has been front and centre while his party selects a new leader. With his time as leader running out, Canadians are divided over the legacy he’ll leave behind, but united on many of the core issues upon which he will be judged.
New data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds Canadians most likely to view marijuana legalization, COVID-19 response, and expansion of the social safety net through the Canada child benefit, dental care, and other programs, as the biggest accomplishments of Trudeau’s time in the nation’s top job. On the other end of the spectrum, they view immigration policy, handling of the inflation/cost of living crisis, and the federal carbon tax, as the biggest failures.
Overall, a majority (63%) of Canadians believe Trudeau tried to tackle the country’s biggest problems during his time in the prime minister’s office. But that majority is split as to whether he made progress on those issues (30%) or failed at ultimately addressing them (33%). One-in-five (22%) believe he actively worsened the issues the country is facing.
Amid this, one-quarter (26%) say they anticipate Trudeau being remembered as an above average prime minister, while the same number say he’ll be viewed as average. Others say he’ll be remembered worse, as below average (15%) or poor. These views are comparable to how Stephen Harper was looked upon as he left the post in 2015, with Canadian slightly more positive (+4) and negative (+4) about Trudeau than the former CPC leader.
Asked to describe what they’ll remember most about the near-decade that Trudeau led the country, the most common responses mention either the pandemic response or scandals like the SNC-Lavalin and WE Charity affairs.

From what I understand from the stoners in my life it isn’t very good anyway, they are still buying from dealers whose products are stronger.
My sense of PM Trudeau’s greatest accomplishment was his making men comfortable about not having to match their socks to their slacks.
All things taken into account I never thought Justin Trudeau was a very good Prime Minister. Economic issues are always difficult deal with because there are so many moving pieces and it’s impossible to control all the factors, so it’s hard to blame him for all our current economic problems. However, his immigration policies were dismal because his timeframe was too hurried. On the other hand, he has lately proven that, moving forward, there is a potential role for him to play as a diplomat. Canada continues to be viewed favourably on the world stage and his is a face familiar to the rest of this troubled world. And, by the way, the role of Jagmeet Singh in Canada’s dental care program should not be forgotten.
Mr. Benn,
You are a funny man, classic comment.
I’m one of those guys, don’t have a single socks left in my wardrobe.
Kosmo, did you check the dryer for your missing socks?
