It's kind of tired, I distinctly remember when I was younger that people talked about discussing things with their local representative, etc. I don't know if they're just less accessible nowadays or if people are just lazy and it's easier to sit back and say "Fuck 'insert figurehead here'"

The only people who vote for Trudeau are the ones in his constituency. Everyone else elected someone they can and should access if they care sooooo much. Also, if people knew much about how their government operates (I'm sure everyone says they do, but very few actually do) the PM is just the mouthpiece and final sign-off on some things here and there. Everything is delegated and, if they're a good manager, they're operating and actioning things on advice from their ministers who supposedly did a lot of due diligence.
