The Spin
Right narrative
When some two dozen members of Trudeau's own government call for his resignation, it shows the country is tired of his leadership. Not only has he doubled both housing costs and the national debt, but he's done so while hiding behind a wall of corruption. Even liberal journalists are reporting that Liberal parliamentarians have to secretly message them out of fear of retribution. Trudeau's tyranny has destroyed Canada, and he must go.
Left narrative
The Liberal Party is not a monolith, and the fact that it contains differences of opinion is what makes it great. While the Conservatives seek to use this as a tool to grab power, Trudeau remains focused on protecting the social services that Canadians need, and opposition leader Poilievre wants to take away. Trudeau has been leading the fight for social programs for years and will continue to do so as the next election approaches.
