The opinion of most voters is how leaders are perceived. I am not sure I buy this writers assessment of the parties efforts. We have a very optimistic leader but he seems short on results. His refugee program is so loose and unstructured. It seems easy to qualify for and they can go anywhere as if they had full Canadian rights?  He also has no fiscal plan as anyone can spend money but where is the restraint? In all these heading the fine details have been ignored instead of an intelligent implementation. Overall he has been doing rather poorly.
