    He had his time and he did delivered some good things, but it’s defintely time for new ideas and more charismatic leaders. He was the most unpopular leader in this election cycle.

      Jagmeet was plenty charismatic; and earnest, too. But while I worried about his focus, really he bounced off a glass ceiling; and then found slagging an ally in campaign ads was detrimental to both. (and let’s talk about how uncharacteristic THAT was)

      But he presented well as someone with decent motivations, and his causes were generally on the side of regular Canadians, as you’d expect from the oranges. He had his best party and just misstepped while puppet-mastering Justin.

        100% glass ceiling. He gained quite a bit of popularity in 2021 because of how charismatic he is. I think a lot of people aren’t willing to admit it, but Canada just isn’t ready for a PM that looks like him (or rather, that doesn’t look like previous PMs).

      I agree generally agree with you but charisma is so subjective. A lot of people think that trump is charismatic but to me he isn’t t all. Many think Carney is not charismatic but he is to me.

        trump had branding before he became president, so that pretty much helped him.
