Not a Canadian - I keep seeing people ridiculing the Conservative party here on Lemmy, but I saw on wikipedia that they are currently leading the polls?

Trudeau is not popular as well, if I'm not mistaken. I know an older Canadian who hates Trudeau with passion and praises Poilievre...

Is this similar to Trump's populism strat? What is it that the conservatives are promising to be that popular?

Edit: thanks all for the explanation, I wish the best for you guys

Part of it is the pendulum of Canadian politics. The Liberals have been in power for a long time and many people in the "great Canadian middle" have swung over to the Conservative side. That makes the prospects of another Liberal government forming in the next election slim.

But also, yes, there are some people who hate Trudeau on principle. My holidays this year were exhausting.

Yes, me too. I get it from both my side and my wife's side of the family and it's absolutely exhausting. I'm feeling like an outcast these days. It's especially upsetting because my family USED to be more liberal in general. I have no idea what changed, but now Trudeau is evil as far as they're concerned.
