A new poll shows that if an election were
held tomorrow,

Justin Trudeau would lose.

We could very well go from having a ken doll
for Prime Minister,

to having a Cabbage Patch doll for Prime Minister.

Only nine percent of Canadians gave the last
federal budget two thumbs up, with 69% giving it

one finger.

So if Canadian's don't want Justin Trudeau,
who do they want?

They can't want Jagmeet Singh,
they already have an NDP Prime Minister...

Justin has been so worried about Jagmeet,
that he stole the NDP's national pharma-care

plan in the budget.

Justin Trudeau is Taylor Swift -

his budget
is 'Look What You Made Me Do';

and Jagmeet Singh is the guy who sang 'I'm Too Sexy';

It's a total rip!

It's not just the budget that's hurting the
PM;

40% of Canadians believe that the Prime Minister's
recent trip had a negative effect on Canada-India

relations.

Here's the first thing that Andrew Scheer
said in question period after the budget dropped:

There is nothing partisan about this,
it was the Prime Minister's trip that turned

into a disaster.

It was the Prime Minster's office that mishandled
the invitation that went out to a convicted,

attempted-murderer.

- You know you stepped in it when you announce
a five-year multi-billion dollar deficient,

and the leader of the Conservatives doesn't
even mention spending.

But why talk about the budget when you have
a picture like this:

That's Jaspal Atwal, a man convicted for the
attempted murder of an Indian Cabinet Minister.

A man,
invited by the Liberals to a reception in India.

Now this isn't really Justin's fault.

Look -
When your goal is to take a picture with literally

every living person: some of them are gonna
be attempted murderers.

That's just math!

The political photo op gone wrong has a long,
proud history.

For years,
people in positions of power have taken pics

that are awkward,
controversial,

or just plain sexy.

They've even coined a term for it:
Selfie Diplomacy.

Unfortunately,
during his trip to India;

Justin's selfie diplomacy turned into a full-blown
self-fiasco.

Canadians when less photo ops and more talk!

To be fair,
Justin recently took time to explain how he

plans to fight Donald Trump's steel tariffs.

Import more steel,
than the Americans, ex-uh,

import-*ahem* sorry-
we have a significant trade surplu-

Uh, the Americans have a significant trade
surplus with us, on steel...

- On second thought a selfie is fine, Justin!

If an election were held today, Justin Trudeau
would lose.

To win,
he doesn't have to beat Andrew Scheer or Jagmeet

Singh,
he just has to stop acting as his own official

opposition.

The only person that can defeat the Prime
Minster,

is Justin Trudeau.
