I'd add Senate reform, marijuana legalization, to this list. Plenty of things to criticize over nearly a decade of governing but the idea that Trudeau has no legacy items to point to is patently false.

Justin Trudeau’s legacy is a solid one.
Consequential but controversial. But a solid one.
— CPP bigger
— CCB ⬇️ child poverty
— TMX ✅ and LNG Canada supported
— One of best COVID responses in G7
— CUSMA
— Key investments in AI + ZEVs
And much of that will endure.

But fair to say that after (about) early ‘21, PMJT & LPC have been in a steady spiral downwards
One assumes that a change at the top ~24 months ago might’ve given the LPC a chance to reset to compete
His reluctance to let go & upcoming LPC electoral beat down is also his legacy
These were unforgivable.
