Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Daylight savings time will make Justin Trudeau’s last day as Liberal party leader an hour shorter; his desired tenure has been abbreviated by much more than that. Once upon a time it was sunny ways. A delayed sunset is a fitting end for a prime minister who lingered in the spotlight too long.

Susan Delacourt: The handover will take a few days, but Justin Trudeau’s time as prime minister will essentially wrap up this weekend. I know we both have thoughts on his legacy, Matt, and I suspect we may disagree on some points. Let’s start with the big question: how will you remember his nearly decade in power?

Matt Gurney: It’ll be tough to keep it all straight. Trudeau should get a mix of praise and blame for things he actively had control over. He’ll have wins and losses when historians do the final tally. But, overall, I think what I’ll remember most is that the prime minister missed the boat on big, threatening global changes. I think that may be what defines him. Wrong man for a new era that arrived on his watch.

‘Amped up over Trump:’ U.S. President top issue to influence federal election vote, survey says

A new Nanos Research survey released Sunday says U.S. President Donald Trump – and how to deal with him – is the top issue influencing how Canadians are voting in the next federal election.

The survey – done exclusively for CTV News – surveyed more than 1,000 Canadians, finding that 36 per cent of respondents said Trump is the most important issue to influence their vote. The economy followed closely in second, at 29 per cent.

“This speaks to a situation where Canadians are amped up over Trump and his threats to the Canadian economy,” Nanos Research Founder Nik Nanos said in a panel on CTV Question Period airing Sunday.

Remember – The same people who call us racist white privileged settlers occupying Turtle Island and spent the last 10 years denigrating Canada and Canadians have suddenly donned a Pre-Fab Patriotism, with the goal of retaining power for their Globalist pals.

Mark Carney will be selected as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada on Sunday.

Oh, I know, there are three other candidates in the race, including former Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. But Carney should win resoundingly.

OTTAWA — As Canada bids farewell to one of its most polarizing prime ministers in a generation, the past decade will undoubtedly be defined by Justin Trudeau’s many scandals and missteps.

Mark Carney, heir to the Canadian throne, such as it is, is indeed wrestling with a difficult problem in his 2021 book Value(s)  — or even a difficult set of problems. The title indicates as much (or, more accurately, the presumptuous subtitle): “Building a Better World for All.” We should first note in evaluating the quality of Carney’s thought (as we should, given his desire and likely opportunity to lead our fair land), that this is a very difficult set of nuts to crack: “building,” “better,” and “for all,” and that success in such a venture is tantamount to the actions of a veritable world redeemer or saviour. The question that then arises should then clearly be “is Mr. Carney up to such a task?” Our initial position with regard to that question should be one of extreme doubt and skepticism, given that very few, if any, have ever demonstrated such truly awe-inspiring ability.

The Prime Minister didn’t create the acrimony that divided the Canadian population, but he did exploit it for cynical political gain

Two different Justin Trudeaus stood outside Rideau Cottage nearly five years apart, each version of the Prime Minister delivering an address that, together, defined the arc of his time in leadership.

The first Trudeau stood alone, but he had the support of his caucus, and his country, behind him. He had a beard and a slight wave to his hair. He was still married; he told Canadians that his wife, Sophie, had just been diagnosed with COVID-19.

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prepares to leave office, the best way to assess his political legacy is to judge the expectations he set for himself when he won his first election in 2015.

By that standard, he has clearly failed to deliver what he promised.

Justin Trudeau spent the last days of his time as prime minister with his political life flashing before his eyes.

All the big, disruptive events of Trudeau’s nearly decade in power have been churning around him. Donald Trump’s existential threats were chief among them, but there were shades of other crises, too — the resumption of weekly meetings with the premiers, as was normal during the pandemic, and discussions over whether Canada needed to kick in with a COVID-type response to Trump’s tariffs.
