Whatever the technical terms are here for the trouble, it sounds like Trudeau is in enough trouble that the Conservatives take an edge on popularity now and I think their elections are this year.

So, a lot of detail that we may not really care to research.
I heard one Canadian say this matter is too serious, that Trudeau does not rebound from this. I know nothing about this myself. Just passing on info.
