We have a deal... for another year. As to anything else, especially tariffs, we cannot deal until SCOTUS rules on their legality. Any deal made before then would be a waste of time.

You oversimplify. And his invitation to the Heritage Foundation President is an example- pretty much uninstall outrage. And yes he is better than Pierre Poilievre... and most of the Conservative Cabinet. Pretty slim pickings these days when it comes to politicians that seem competent.

Yeah, no. Lots of people want a more left-leaning leader... especially those that lent votes from the NDP. Too many are unhappy that he is more centrist than usual Liberal leaders. A Conservative that is slightly more centrist and more policy-driven (rather than drivel-driven) will siphon support
