Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Most of the attention on last month’s fall economic statement centred on the bombshell resignation of then-finance minister Chrystia Freeland but—as the political turmoil sparked by her departure continues to unravel—serious questions remain about how and why the government missed its deficit target, adding to a pattern of the Liberals failing to maintain fiscal anchors since coming to power in 2015.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Liberal Party of Canada was near death when Justin Trudeau took over as leader. He leaves it near death again. The years between have been a roller-coaster ride, much like his father’s time in office, from the giddy, even nauseating public and media enthusiasm of the early months to the quite unreasoning hatred his name now evokes in certain quarters.

It isn’t as if we did not know what we were getting into. More than most prime ministers, Justin (as he was often called, and is to this day) was a known quantity by the time he took office, having grown up in the public eye – twice, in fact. There was his natural childhood, much of it spent in the prime ministerial residence at 24 Sussex Drive. And there was his political childhood, as it were, between entering politics in 2008 and becoming prime minister in 2015.

Coyne can’t decide whether to sh&t or get off the pot at least Kay was able to admit he fell for Trudeau’s lies.

They were just scopin the Babes man!

Perhaps Justin might want some wellness tips?

Eleanor Roosevelt said that the role of the First Lady was not a job but rather a circumstance. For Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, it is even more oblique. She is neither the former First Lady – since Canada does not endow the prime ministerial spouse with ‘première dame’ status – nor is she wife to Justin Trudeau, since their separation in 2023. In the wake of his resignation this week, she inhabits a curious predicament.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was forced to announce he was stepping down because Liberal MPs believed a different leader might prevent electoral annihilation. They were probably wrong.

The Liberals’ narcissistic internal squabbles have left Canada without a fully functioning federal government in a time of crisis.

While they argue over how Mr. Trudeau should be replaced and who should replace him, president-elect Donald Trump gets ready to impose punishing tariffs on Canadian exports, even as he vows to force Canada to accept annexation by the United States.

OTTAWA—Foreign affairs Minister Mélanie Joly has announced she will not be a candidate in the coming Liberal leadership race.

Joly, a long rumoured potential successor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, said she can’t step away from her responsibilities as foreign minister.

I must dedicate every minute of my time and all my energy to defending the interests of Canadians. Which is exactly what I am doing and will continue to do. pic.twitter.com/NSGeA3OqVs

Now that’s funny.

This time last year, when I was doing final edits on my book about Justin Trudeau, I asked my editors at Simon & Schuster if they thought that any passages in the book stuck out as unfair. After two years of researching and writing about Trudeau, I had started to find myself becoming irritated by him, and I was afraid that had crept into the text.

The wise and talented Rosemary Shipton, who has edited many books, replied by drawing my attention to one sentence “where you verge on being a touch unkind.” I had written that perhaps Trudeau “sees politics largely as an opportunity for people to appreciate his princely magnificence.”

OTTAWA — Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc may be officially out of the running in the Liberal leadership race, but some less well-known politicians are already filling the void.

Ottawa Liberal MP Chandra Arya is the latest contender to throw his hat in the ring — much to the surprise of many Liberals. He made the announcement in a video on X, Thursday morning, making him the second unofficial contender seeking to lead the party.

You know those videos you see on social media. Where someone gets out of their car but forgets to put it in park?

As they walk away the car starts to roll, slowly. Eventually they notice and turn around. Sometimes they try to get back in. Often, they race in front and lean against the bonnet. The car keeps rolling. And no matter what they do, they can’t stop it.

For the Past two years, Justin Trudeau has been the guy trying to stop the car. Eventually, the momentum of unpopularity and the rising cost of living became too much. He couldn’t stop the car. Or save his job.

It’s difficult to recall, watching a defeated man finally yield to his fate outside Rideau Cottage this week, just how fervently Canadians fell for Justin Trudeau more than a decade ago. It was like Trudeaumania redux: he’d get stopped for selfies on the street, make headline news for appearing shirtless in public, and would absolutely electrify crowds of thousands of fawning students. Indeed, first-time voters turned out in record numbers to help deliver the Trudeau Liberals their first and only majority, which the eventual Prime Minister celebrated the day after the election with selfies with supporters in the Montreal Metro.

Can class, economic status or educational divide be the reason some of us knew Trudeau was a fraud from the get go while many of our “betters” fell hook line and sinker for the Little Prince’s BS?

Yet another country decides it is done with the woke globalist agenda and “Bidened” their prime minister — Justin Trudeau.

You probably already know that the guy in the middle is Justin Trudeau. You likely already know the guy on the right is Fidel Castro. The guy on the left? That’s Pierre Trudeau, who is supposed to be Justin’s dad.

The rumor that goes way back is that the elder Trudeau, then a rising Canadian political star (he ultimately became prime minister), and his, er, liberated wife took a trip to Havana to pay homage to Cuba’s communist dictator, and, well, one thing led to another.

Slightly less than a decade ago, Canada’s newly elected, youthful prime minister seemed the conscious opposite of his soon-to-be counterpart on the rise in the United States. Justin Trudeau embraced refugees, celebrated multiculturalism, advocated climate action and styled himself a feminist. Donald Trump, meanwhile, bulldozed his way through the 2016 Republican presidential primary while stoking anti-immigrant furor, demonizing Muslims and mocking women. Trudeau, WorldView noted in early 2016, was “the anti-Trump” — a branding that many in the center-left leader’s inner circle seemed to welcome.

No matter who Canada’s next prime minister is, it’s time to lay down a marker: The party with Canada’s finances is over.

Canadians have had it with the Trudeau government’s irresponsible spending. One of the reasons Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s popularity has taken a nosedive is because Canadians are sick and tired of his government’s debt and deficits.
