Responding to this and Westopher's sentiments on the same group of people simultaneously wanting to get rid of Trudeau while citing the election was a waste of $600M+, I personally don't see anything wrong with it. Both points are entirely valid, and both points can coexist in the same person / group without conflicts.
I, for one, would very much liked to have seen Trudeau get voted out. I think he is incompetent in far too many ways, and he has overstayed his welcome in the PM office. At the same time, despite his incompetence, he hasn't committed any crimes that requires the immediate removal of him from office -- it isn't like he pulled a Nixon-Watergate on us yet. So because we are only 23 months into Trudeau's second term, I'd say a much better time to get rid of him is something further down the line, preferably some time after the 36th month of his second term, if not closer to the 48th month time frame.
Whenever we cast our ballots in a federal election, we know going in that in theory and for better or for worse, we are committing to a government of (up to) 4 years. Anything shorter than that is a bit wasteful. Only going through less than 1/2 his term and calling for a new election on his own -- instead of having his parliament voted down by a vote of no confidence from the opposition parties -- shows the PM and the governing party doesn't care for being wasteful of our tax dollars.
Also, note that regardless of who won the election, it was still wasteful for Trudeau to call an election this early in his 2nd term. The fact that Parliament largely stayed the same after the election is only adding more insult to injury. It is not because Parliament mostly stayed the same that this election was wasteful.
