Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Justin Trudeau’s reputation is in tatters. You don’t have to take that only from me. David Coletto, CEO of Abacus polling, and the Toronto Star’s pollster, is a credible and non-partisan player in Canadian politics. Just now, Colette reports that the Conservatives have more support, 44 per cent, than the coalition of the Liberals at 23 per cent and Jagmeet Singh’s NDP 17 at per cent, combined, and the polls are not likely to change with Trudeau as leader.

Tradition demands that a newly-elected Speaker of the House of Commons is “dragged” unwillingly to the chair because it is such a thankless position.

In olden days, the Speaker would have to communicate the wishes of the British House of Commons to kings and queens who if they didn’t like what they heard still had the power to have heads chopped off.

The tools of the Speaker, therefore, are tact and diplomacy. And when they fail, more tact and more diplomacy.

After more than a decade of jurisdictional squabbling, political grandstanding, activist obstructionism, legal wrangling and bureaucratic delays, the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion gained final approval earlier this week and began shipping oil on Wednesday.

In days like these, it is useful to remember that there have always been days like these.

Question period may have needed a “viewer discretion advised” warning on Tuesday, when Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre was ejected from the House of Commons and his caucus followed him out of the door.

But anyone who talks about “a new low” in parliamentary behaviour has forgotten their history.

OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s latest budget was aimed at making Canadians feel better about their future, but it appears to have made them feel worse about his government, a new poll suggests.

The latest Abacus Data survey sought to gauge whether and how the Liberals’ latest budget landed with Canadians at a time when the governing party is trailing badly in the polls — which the survey found is still the case.

As the chatter about the need for Justin Trudeau to retire (for the sake of the country) rises to heights heretofore unknown in any political debate in history, many Canadians question why either the Liberal MPs, or the Liberal Party itself, cannot do something.

Primarily, it must be acknowledged that it is far better to be in power, with all its perks, than in opposition, so why call an election before you absolutely have to?

The man who once called a cabinet minister a “piece of sh**” is leading a parade of outrage that someone called him and his policies “wacko.”

Justin Trudeau’s Liberals lost no time in fundraising off Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre being ejected from the House of Commons over Tuesday’s events.
