March 7, 2025 — As Justin Trudeau’s time as Prime Minister comes to a close, Pollara asked Canadians what they feel the best and worst things are that he did as Prime Minster.
Marijuana legalization tops the list of the best things he did, but it also shows up on the list of negatives. Other positives include dental care, childcare, and Trudeau’s COVID response. Meanwhile, the negatives that stick are increased immigration rates and a weaker economy – more so than scandals and controversies
