I think a big part is the Internet is bigger so you can bypass a lot of media guard rails. I think Justin doesn't want to step down because it's the only consistent thing he has right now, no matter how badly he's ruined the party's brand.

He doesn’t care he does not have to be PM he is rich and will get a generous MP pension and Former PM stipend when he turns 55. He is sticking around because he hates Poilievre and wants to debate him on tv not scripted quips in Question Period and on Social Media.

Foster a culture like the UK? Lol Conservatives are in power in the UK and their current PM Conservative Rishi Sunak was never elected by the people and is less popular than Trudeau is in Canada.😂😂

Canada has had 23 Prime Ministers and Justin Trudeau is the 23rd. This dude Tristan Hopper was not prepared for this interview. Any Student who completed Grade 10 history recently in Ontario knows this.😂😂
