OTTAWA — On a podcast hosted by one of his own MPs, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he believes his detractors are reacting to polls not policy, that his biggest failure in office was electoral reform and that it bugs him that NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh didn’t call to end their deal.

Trudeau had a lengthy and candid interview with Nathaniel Erskine-Smith on the Toronto MP’s podcast Uncommons. Erskine-Smith has been hosting the podcast since 2020 and has had MPs from all parties as well as experts and past politicians as guests. Erskine-Smith has voted against his party in the past and said Trudeau did not have access to the questions in advance.
