Canadians have had it with the elites

It appears a lot has changed in a year. Some notable changes in Canadian sentiment in the last year:
“Canada finds itself among countries who distrust their institutions,” Edelman said.
Key findings of the survey include:
- Trust in government — Down 10 points. 63% of people blame government for our problems. 66% hold them responsible to fix it.
- Trust in Media — Down 10 points. 60% said they are more likely to believe a search engine compared to 40% trusting a human editor. More than half said they trust their own research and assessment of issues.
- Trust in Business — Down 6 points. 53% of Canadians agree that the pace of change in business is too fast, 48% are worried globalization is taking us in the wrong direction, and trust in CEOs is at an all-time low, dropping 12 points to 25%.
I thought Trudeau was going to do it different and earn the trust of Canadians. Guess there's more to earning trust than just lobbing out fluffy platitudes and expecting people will buy into it. Even with his fingers crossed behind his back, it still doesn't work.
When government takes more and more total control of every aspect of people's lives, the responsibility for everything to function properly shifts onto them, they also take on and own the burden of making sure problems are fixed. The shift toward totalitarianism comes with increased responsibilities. A recognizable name, nice hair and a smile aren't enough.
And Rob Ford.
Both were elites, and voters regretted it both times.
Elites aren't the problem, it's simply poor governance.
So are you saying the populist voters that chose Trudeau to lead Canada are stupid . Thanks Mentalfloss you have just stated what many on these forums have thought all along .
I think you can include yourself with those people .
Both good initiatives that put Ontario and the country ahead but neither are populist measures, sorry.
Trudeau isn't a populist and people didn't vote for him because of populism.
Nope.
US is already in shambles and he is failing on all of his promises.
They're the (unannounced) programs of a populist party

Blow it out your porthole....
Yup lies about marijuana , electoral reform , pension and on and on . But we all remember PM P.M .Trump and Trudeau both got elected because:
Don't tell me what's in the red book I wrote the damn thing .
Or PM Cretian abolishing the GST , how did that work out ?
And those people are almost as stupid as the idiots who claim that wind power saved Ontario.
rob ford an elite?

no, your pals un truedoh!, hitlary, and obomba, and soros the jew burner are elites
The Teachers Unions are the Elites...they call the political shots in Ontario. Just saw the elementary teachers got a 4% pay hike.
All Summer off...2 weeks at Christmas...March break...all of the statutory holidays...all of the PD days...then their sick leave...
They really did win the lottery. I get the fish eye from the Brass if I'm 5 minutes late for work in bad weather.
