A lot of is anti-Trudeau sentiment. Trudeau has been power a long time and people are getting sick of him. Trudeau has preached about helping people however has shown at times, they only care about their rich friends.
However there is a lot of push from right wing disinformation groups (sex ed is bad, LGBT are bad, immigrants are bad, etc).
There has been a cost of living crisis/housing crisis which allows bad faith actors to push the narrative that it's specific out groups are to blame instead of government policy of allowing the rich to loot the country.
And even then, most other developed countries are having similar issues in the years post-covid (and the disruptions that accompanied it).
And don't forget him breaking one of his biggest election promises of electoral reform, which has not helped him among left-leaning voters.
So much this! After Harper I was hopeful about doing something about this mess before it got worse. Then nothing. I think a bill was presented at one point? Maybe? โขsighโข
