Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

The Sikhs in Afghanistan were proud of their resilience. Adhering to a strict code of conduct and a distinct identity within the Sikh community, their role had historically been that of protectors of the Sikh faith and community in a country that didn’t always welcome them.

A 200,000-strong presence in Afghanistan in the 1980s, by August 2021, the last remaining 300 followers had reason to be fearful, with the Taliban rapidly regaining territory and only days away from claiming the capital, Kabul, where their only place of worship or gurdwara, remained. Yet they were reportedly refusing offers of asylum.

One thing that Canadians have learned over the course of the past nine years is that, in this government, there is no such thing as a lethal scandal. Ministers don’t resign in disgrace. Public displays of contrition are verboten. No accusation is ever so egregious as to demand an actual response; no charge so serious as to merit sombre reflection. Ministers will deflect, reject, maybe explain a little bit. But they never, ever concede.

Foreign skullduggery like Sajjan’s will eventually leave Whites with no choice but to vote as a bloc.

Canadian households are more indebted than they think. A new report from Quebec-based Desjardins’ shows households recently accumulated a world class amount of debt. In fact, households borrowed so much that they’re now the third most indebted across the world. Even more surprising is the fact this debt is mostly held by just a small share of households.

The reason Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is refusing to say whether he’ll meet with his own caucus of MPs to discuss Liberal political fortunes is that he doesn’t have anything new to say to them.

He’s repeatedly said, at least publicly, that he intends to lead the Liberals into the next election.

That means he’s preemptively rejected a change of leadership — his leadership — as a way for the Liberals to become more competitive with Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives.

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to say he means to stay on as Liberal leader after last week’s surprise Conservative win in the Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection, one Liberal MP is telling CBC News some caucus members are thinking about calling it quits if he stays.

The Liberal MP — who spoke to CBC News on the condition of anonymity in order to speak frankly about caucus dynamics — said a number of Liberal MPs are considering not running again if Trudeau remains leader.

The MP said some caucus colleagues believe Trudeau is too unpopular with Canadians and his continued leadership would result in a major loss for the party in the next federal election, expected in 2025.

OTTAWA – A majority of Canadians think Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will stay on to lead his party in the next election even as his approval ratings are still extremely low, a new poll suggests.

Questions about Trudeau’s future have swirled for more than a year as his Liberal party trails the Conservatives by a substantial margin. Those questions intensified in the last week after the Liberals lost a stronghold to the Conservatives in a byelection in Toronto on June 24.

… The poll suggests widespread dissatisfaction with Trudeau, with only one in four people surveyed approving of the job Trudeau is doing as prime minister, compared to nearly two in three who said they disapprove of his performance.

During last year’s Liberal National Convention, Justin Trudeau delivered the keynote speech. He was animated and worked the podium to dispel rumors that he was no longer up for the job. He stared into the camera and spoke directly to his political opponent Poilievre: “They either say investing in Canadians is a waste of money, or that our policies are too woke. Too woke, he said, Hey Pierre Poilievre, it’s time for you to wake up.”

The Trudeau Liberals have done some deep thinking about why they lost the Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection and have decided it was Leslie Church’s fault. Forget the fact that the Liberals have been trailing badly in the polls for the last year, forget that the prime minister is unpopular, let’s blame the local candidate.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s talking to Liberal MPs individually following the party’s recent by-election defeat, declining to commit to an in-person national caucus meeting.

Mr. Trudeau made the comments during a news conference in his Montreal riding of Papineau. It was his first news conference since last Monday’s Toronto-St. Paul’s by-election, which saw the Liberals lose the riding to the Conservatives for the first time in decades.

Newfoundland Liberal MP Ken McDonald says he thinks it would take “somewhat of a miracle” to turn the Liberals’ electoral fortunes around before the next federal election.

Speaking with CBC’s Power & Politics, McDonald said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau still enjoys a high amount of support within the Liberal caucus after the party’s surprising byelection loss in a Toronto-area riding.

“I think there’s a lot of caucus members who are nervous,” McDonald said. “Do I think a large number still stand with the prime minister? Yes I do.”
