So basically everything CDN and the Cons claim is an outright lie.
Shocking.
Justin Trudeau rates highly on economy and approval
As the economy becomes an even more important issue for Canadians, Justin Trudeau remains the federal leader voters trust most to deal with it — as well as the leader with the most glittering approval ratings, according to the latest polls.
An important part of that support base comes from across the political aisle.
A new survey from the Angus Reid Institute (ARI) published Tuesday showed that 47 per cent of Canadians named the economy as one of their top two most important issues facing Canada today. Another 22 per cent chose jobs and unemployment.
This is a big spike from when the ARI last gauged Canadians' mood at the end of November. The economy jumped as an issue by 10 percentage points since then (rising to 59 per cent in Alberta, where the energy industry has taken a downturn), while concern about jobs and unemployment was up four points.
The issue that dropped by the wayside was terrorism and security, which fell to nine per cent from 21 per cent in less than three months.
The previous survey was conducted in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris. The latest numbers were collected in the midst of the Liberals announcing their change of course for the mission against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
The poll found that 32 per cent of Canadians felt that Trudeau was best suited to deal with the economy.
Trudeau's numbers have been holding relatively steady since his party's electoral victory in October. But his numbers have also been holding steady among Canadians who didn't vote for his party then or would not today.
Among New Democrats, both ARI and Forum found his approval rating to be between 69 and 70 per cent, with just 20 to 24 per cent of NDP voters disapproving of the Liberal leader. This is a new phenomenon that has taken hold since the election, as at the tail end of the campaign Trudeau's approval rating among NDP supporters was just 43 per cent.
