If you think that's crap, take a serious look at last falls election results. The turd practically shot himself in the head ( lav scam, Jody Wilson, little paper sorta juice box thingys and so many more ). While he did loose some seats in qeeeebec, pretty much all the east coast voted for him, still got support from qeeeebec and Ontario and it was all over at the Ontario/Manitoba border. Check out election results from the Globe and Mail. Scroll down to the map, zoom in and you can see the riding by riding results. It really is sad if not downright scary!

You can care about Western Canadian issues while caring about the overall country's issues. I didn't mean to say that it would be a positive to solely care about a particular region, rather, that having a vision that includes the country in its entirety would be a positive.
I would say that a lot of Trudeau's win came from running against a weak opponent, not dissimilar to Trump vs Hillary down south. I don't think Trump wins that election (or this coming election) against a strong, well-liked candidate.
