Any sign of Trudeau-mania went MIA during Monday's federal by-elections in Victoria, Calgary Centre and Durham.
For months we've the heard the media and pollsters tell us that Justin Trudeau's leadership bid was sweeping the nation. One poll even suggested that a Trudeau-led Liberal party could form a strong-minority government after the next general election.
But, as right leaning politicos are appropriately reporting today, hopes for a Trudeau boost turned into an epic bust on Monday.
Here is a Facebook post by Tory MP Dean Del Mastro:
"Lost in the press coverage of last nights by-elections was the 4th place finish by the Liberal party in average vote support, 2% behind the Green party. Given that Justin Trudeau personally visited and campaigned in all three ridings, one has to wonder what the press circus has been all about over the recent months. The Liberal party average support last night was 19.9%."
