New polling data shows that Canadians rank cannabis legalization as Justin Trudeau’s top accomplishment in his nearly ten years in office.

Yeah idk legal weed was great and monumental but the CCB, $10/day childcare, Dental care, pharmacare, first home savings account, the environmental reforms and carbon pricing (while MASSIVLY misunderstood) were very big achievements. Like...fucking bonkers big. He propelled us back into the 21 century along with Europe and every other developed nation.

Sure there were fuck ups and slip ups. But literally no politician is. His achievements so greatly overshadow those slip ups, and that's not even getting into his handling of the pandemic and maintaining order. Literally had one of the best recoveries of any of the first world countries post COVID while also effectively vaccinating our population and supporting individuals during job loses. All while the provinces did fuck all.

Again, legal weed is like... Fucking awesome, but these major achievements of his will go down in Canadian history as the moment when we as a nation grew up and turned the page to dominate the 21st century.
