Trudeau was initially elected on the promise of electoral reform. Campaign from the left, govern from the right is the Liberal MO. Their promises are meaningless marketing.
They promised to end poverty for those with disabilities with Bill C-22. They switched out the actually disabled MP as head of the ministry with some suit and this new benefit isn't even a fifth of what's needed and reaches only half of those who need it. They say it's just the foundations to build on, but they'll be handing the reigns of this benefit to the conservatives soon enough who are certainly not going to improve it (despite unanimously voting for it).
Most promises from all politicians are meaningless marketing, calling just one group out on this is disingenuous at best
The electoral reform lie was especially heinous. It's not your average political lie, it was THE central pillar of his campaign. It had massive support from liberals and progressives and was why they swept up so handily that election. Comparing that to silly small campaign promises is disingenuous.
