Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was back at work Friday but said nothing about his political future as MPs met behind closed doors to hash out what kind of pressure they could exert to force him to declare whether he’ll stay or go.

His caucus is frustrated by the silence. Regional caucus chairs met late in the day, and three MPs said that a national caucus meeting is scheduled for next Wednesday, where they want Mr. Trudeau to reveal his decision. The Globe and Mail is not naming the MPs because they were not publicly authorized to disclose internal caucus discussions.

When it comes to political messaging, one rule is paramount: adapt or fade into irrelevance.

This week, we witnessed a striking contrast between Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre’s media strategies, offering a masterclass in what to do – and what not to do – when it come to engaging with modern audiences.

Let’s start with Trudeau.

On Dec. 30, I got word that Mark Carney, a fellow who had occupied an uncertain role in momentous events for the past few weeks, had published a year-end op-ed over in the inferior national newspaper. I started hearing about Carney’s piece right away from wiseacre friends, ones who probably don’t realize how any writer shudders a little at such catcalling. (“What are they saying about me out of earshot?”) One of them called it a “perfect, featureless cube of unmeaning,” and another compared it to an “odourless, impenetrable vapour cloud.” I actually ended up setting aside Carney’s op-ed, saving it for a couple of days as a little treat.

One thing has become clearer over this holiday season. Canada’s current political crisis presents a disturbing parallel to the erosion of democratic norms, typically associated with authoritarian regimes. As Chrystia Freeland’s resignation letter pointedly noted, “a Minister must speak on behalf of the Prime Minister and with his full confidence.”

Yet the stark reality is that neither she nor an increasing number of Liberal MPs believe this government maintains the moral authority to govern.

To read the multitude of articles written by big-shot Liberals, fans of Justin, former fans of Justin, enemies of Poilievre, and a whole bunch of others who are just beginning to read the room, all that needs to be done is replace Trudeau with a new Liberal Party leader and the world will be A-OK once again.

A sleeper election issue is our sinking dollar, which fell this past year by nine per cent against the U.S. dollar, reaching its lowest level since April 2003. It now takes $1.44 in Canadian dollars to buy one U.S. dollar. Flipping it over, $1 Canadian dollar costs just 69.4 U.S. cents.

Enough of the parlour games, enough trying to figure out how the Liberals can win back voter support.

It’s over for the Liberals, their time is up, and Justin Trudeau needs to call an election, take his shellacking and let his party begin rebuilding without him.

The chorus of Liberals demanding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation has swollen to the point that it’s now fair to ask just who the prime minister thinks he’s still leading.

Days after the Ontario caucus — the country’s biggest by far, with 75 members — concluded it was time for Trudeau to step aside, Atlantic Liberals sent a letter to the prime minister indicating that “time is of the essence, and our caucus is of the view that it is not tenable for you to remain as leader.”

OTTAWA — Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney is seriously thinking about running for the Liberal leadership if Justin Trudeau resigns, a source close to him says, as the government grapples with uncertainty over the prime minister’s future in the face of the threat of American tariffs and a snap federal election.

A source with direct knowledge of Carney’s thinking told the Star on Friday that the former central banker in Canada and the United Kingdom has been taking and placing calls with dozens of Liberals MPs and political organizers in the days since Chrystia Freeland’s shock resignation as finance minister rocked the Liberal government and preceded the greatest wave of calls so far for Trudeau to leave.

Well, well, the ‘Trudeau must resign’ momentum continues to build. Most notably from the pack that ran with him for nine years while this ideological, commie-loving nitwit ravenously gnawed at Canada’s strengths, rights and freedoms, prosperity, and national security.

But beware of the beta wolves, his good lieutenants, who are now menacingly circling the dancing Swiftie alpha leader. These wolves merely rented sheep’s clothing. They worry about one thing and it’s not you. It’s their own survival.

Winnipeg South Centre MP Ben Carr is calling for a change of leadership in the federal Liberal party, becoming the first Manitoba Liberal member of Parliament to call for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down.

“I do not arrive at this decision easily, nor do I make it happily,” Carr said in a letter to his constituents on Friday afternoon.

“I felt somehow as though I would be betraying my party,” he said. “As time has passed, however, and the further I reflected on the conversations I have had with those I represent, I concluded that it is in fact the opposite.”
