Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau allegation of India's involvement in the killing of Khalistani Extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, seems to be losing his popularity among voters, according to a recent poll.
An Ipsos poll states that 40 per cent of Canadians want to see opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, a Conservative, as the Prime Minister. If elections are held today, the poll says, Poilievre's Conservatives will get 39 per cent of votes. Trudeau, who was elected in 2015 and leads the Liberal Party, will settle with 30 per cent of votes, Canada's Global News reported.
The Conservatives will form a majority government, dislodging the Trudeau-led Liberal minority dispensation if polls are held at this time, the poll says. Election in Canada is scheduled to be held in the fall of 2025.
In July, a separate survey found that Trudeau was the worst Prime Minister in over 50 years. Interestingly, his father, Pierre Trudeau, who served as the Prime Minister from 1968 to 1979 and from 1980 to 1984, was popular among Canadian voters, according to CTV News.
The latest polls surely come as a worrying sign for Trudeau, as he is accused of being soft and non-committal about acting against the Khalistani elements, often brushing it off as "freedom of expression."
Inspite of pressure, Trudeau continued to remain adamant, saying it was a "freedom of expression". It wasn't surprising that the day Trudeau met PM Modi, a so-called Khalistan referendum was held in Surrey, British Colombia.
Currently, the Liberals, headed by Trudeau, share power with the New Democratic Party (NDP) led by Indian-origin lawmaker Jagmeet Singh, who is known to be a Khalistani sympathiser. The NDP has agreed to support the government in confidence matters till the election is next held in fall 2025.
Will Trudeau loose the next elections because of his political agenda?
