Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

The prime minister is facing political pressure after financial minister resigns publicly.

Typically, it’s a good idea to avoid reporting on rumors, particularly the internet kind. Want to know why Brett Cooper left the Daily Wire? It’s probably not a good idea to go digging through comments on X hating on the company and claiming to have insider information spilled by angry employees claiming to be “loyal” to Cooper.

Rumors, more often than not, tend to be wishful thinking on the part of naysayers.

So, while I think the naysayers of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are right, I hesitate to comment on the rumor that the PM is considering a resignation. Fortunately, I don’t have to. Instead, I can comment on the numerous and growing number of Canadian politicians and institutions who have called on the PM to resign within the last several days.

New Brunswick MP Wayne Long, who isn’t running again and was the first sitting Liberal to call for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign back in June after the party’s disastrous by-election loss in Toronto-St. Paul’s, put it best about this week’s gong show in Ottawa.

There are a lot of things wrong with Canada but one of them isn’t its constitution. At least, I like the way in which their governments can be turfed out when they’re past their stale date. In the doddering final days of the Biden administration, that’s something we could use here.

Justin Trudeau has tasked his childhood babysitter with implementing sweeping security measures along Canada’s border with the US.

The Canadian prime minister, who is struggling against poor approval ratings and facing calls to resign, named his trusted foot soldier and close confidante Dominic LeBlanc as finance minister after the unexpected resignation of Chrystia Freeland.

OTTAWA — Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney isn’t joining the federal Liberals, says new Trudeau government Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc.

The New Brunswick MP and Trudeau confidant says he’s been given assurances from the prime minister that he will remain the country’s finance minister.

“Carney is not an option,” LeBlanc said in an interview with Brunswick News.

This says Carney decided against the Shitshow Carnival.

Federal polling projects a historical drop in support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, with one model suggesting the party could plummet to a mere 10 seats.

Polling Canada data puts Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives at 45% of the vote, the Liberals at 20%, Jagmeet Singh’s NDP at 18%, Yves-François Blanchet’s Bloc Québécois at 8% and Elizabeth May’s Green party and Maxime Bernier’s PPC each at 4%.

That’s 10 too many.

He. Is. Not. Going. Anywhere!

Are you surprised? He’s not even talking to you. You — the public, the people, the voters, the men and women who thought that democracy entitled them to demand of their leader an accountability. He’s laughing at you.

Suck it up, the worst is yet to come.

The problem with criticizing Justin Trudeau is not where to begin but where to end. Trudeau’s proclivity for gaffes and vulgarity was established long before he became prime minister. And this fluffy, insubstantial side even seemed like it might have an upside as he formed a government: as long as Trudeau focused on annoying stunts and virtue-signaling, he would have little time for screwing up the country. Sadly, however, his government’s long procession of scandals and missteps has proven that theory wrong.

In a potentially unprecedented move, a Canadian police labour organization has called for the resignation of a sitting prime minister.

“Our members have lost faith in Justin Trudeau’s government to do the right thing for the right reasons,” tweeted the Toronto Police Association (TPA) on Tuesday.

The polls tell us the top political issues in Canada are jobs and inflation. But the burning issue for many Canadians is Justin Trudeau.

After Monday’s political bombshell, the new Finance Minister and still Public Safety Minister, Dominic LeBlanc, gamely soldiered on Tuesday by announcing a border-security plan with cabinet colleagues.

But just about everyone around them in Ottawa was thinking about Mr. Trudeau. Will he resign? Will his own party force him out? Will he hang on?

I bet he will, he is just too vain, too small and mean of character to resign.

For once, Chrystia Freeland did the right thing. She had been told by her boss Friday that she would be taken out to a foreign-affairs-related pasture after releasing one last fall economic statement. On Monday, she quit before the press lockup could even begin, making public her concerns about the government while sending the government scrambling for a plan B.

The day he took office for his “sunny” first term, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared in front of Ottawa’s Rideau Hall to present the first gender-balanced cabinet in Canadian history. He gave his succinct “because it’s 2015” explanation — a remark that became integral to his then-favourable political brand.

Standing in the front row, just behind his right shoulder, was freshly minted Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland.
