Justin Trudeau was not doomed by being a corona-monger and a tyrant. The vast majority of Canadians supported all the Covid measures he introduced. He was doomed by his terribly irresponsible fiscal policy. Canada printed 34% of new money in the period 2020 - 2023, which created the highest inflation since 1979. At that time, and this is actually very significant, his father was the prime minister.
Justin's father Pierre was a socialist who joined the Liberal Party only because he realized that his first party, the left-wing NDP, was too weak and that he would never come to power in it. He joined the Liberals and, thanks to his own charisma, completely reformed the party. He implemented some good reforms - made divorce easier, made women equal, legalized abortion, etc. - but he also imposed a very bad fiscal policy of excessive government spending, which caused inflation and a crisis that forced him to resign. But he soon returned to power. He is also known for the fact that during the Cold War, unlike other Western leaders, he cultivated good relations with the USSR, Cuba and China. He was the head of Canada for 15 years, which I think is a record.
Pierre Trudeau made the Liberal Party of Canada quite socialist. Justin picked up more or less the same policies and direction from his father.
Canadians don't forgive inflation and it cost him his job.
