It said Canadians in big cities are dealing with rising violent crime, but Trudeau's made it easier for criminals to get away with their behaviour. .Canada Proud said the Canadian government has been telling people they've never had it so good while insulting those who reject their policies. It added it has “reneged on their duty to good governance and instead have chosen to divide Canadians against each other for their own short-term political gain.”.The advocacy group went on to say Trudeau does not appear interested in being prime minister anymore. Instead of answering questions posed to him by Canadians and MPs, it said he “simply reads off scripted answers which often don’t even have anything to do with the question posed.”.“Enough is enough,” it said. .“We cannot sit by and watch our country degenerate as our prime minister capitulates his own duties.”.Half of Canadians said they think there should be a federal election in 2023, despite one not being mandated until 2025, according to a December Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of Global News. .READ MORE: Poll finds half of Canadians want federal election in 2023.The poll said two-thirds of Canadians aged 18-34 want a federal election.
