Not sure what this means. Anyway, I can see a lot of people voting for Andrew Scheer. And a lot that are fed up with Trudeau.

Trudeau will never be popular with the far right. We get that. Trudeau will never be popular with the far left. We get that.
The trick is to do things that improve the lives of people in the middle.
I fully understand that the right has bought into the false narrative that taxes are bad, lower taxes are better, blah, blah, trickle down supply side economics, blah, blah. Well it doesn't work. Neither does the NDP "tax the heck out of everybody and we'll look after you [after we take our NDP corruption cut, of course}.
Somewhere in the middle is correct and optimum balance. The best way to achieve that is that each should contribute to the country in accordance with their ability to so.
Constantly acting out as Shylock is demeaning to the far right.
Constantly pretending that there is a bottomless pit of other people's money to squander demeans the far left.
Doesn't mean that JT and crew have it right, but at least they seem to be trying.

The middle path - everything in moderation, and everything in its time and order.

The NDP said they'd at least TRY to balance the books, while the Liberals have absolutely no intention of doing so. So it appears to me that it's the Libs who think there's a "bottomless pit of other people's money to squander".

Although sometimes it can be beneficial to borrow money to invest in our economy, constantly running on borrowed funds is going to eventually come back to haunt us.
When the Libs were elected they promised to run small deficits for a few years to build some much needed infrastructure and give our economy a boost.
Since then those "small" deficits have become much larger, with no end in sight, and the promised infrastructure is virtually non existent. In addition to which, the economic stimulus the deficits were said to provide is no longer necessary, as the economy is currently firing on all cylinders (due to improved world wide economic conditions).
Deficits can provide much needed stimulus when the economy is in the doldrums, but a Government that still runs deficits when the economy is doing well, is a Government that is fiscally irresponsible.
