Adam Pankratz: Jagmeet Singh can’t see past his Maserati parking spot

Someone give this guy his pension already so we can all head to the polls

The shallowest man in Canada had quite the day on Monday when Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland launched her volley of Molotov cocktails on the way out the door. Years of hypocrisy, pandering, and spinelessness laid bare for all the world to see as now former minister Freeland apparently decided she had had quite enough of bilking Canadians and subjecting them to ludicrous policies for the sole purpose of political expediency. What will this poor man do now? I refer, of course, to Jagmeet Singh.

Freeland departs, after a heroic effort to hold the deficit to $62-billion

In fairness to the Prime Minister, who knew that if you spent three months undermining your own Finance Minister, refusing to express confidence in her while your underlings trash-talked her to the press, then told her over a Zoom call that you were about to move her out of her plum job into another with no staff or power or responsibilities but, by the way, would she please stay on long enough to deliver a mini-budget with a $62-billion deficit in it so you could make it look like that was why you were firing her and then give her job to Mark Carney, she would take it the wrong way? Women, eh?

Abacus Data Poll: Post-Freeland resignation, Trudeau’s net favourability drops to -43

If an election were held today, 45% of committed voters would vote Conservative, while 20% would vote Liberal, and 18% for the NDP. The BQ has 39% of the vote in Quebec. All of the movement from the last survey is within the margin of error but this represents the largest Conservative lead in our tracking history and the lowest Liberal vote share since 2015.

What are Justin Trudeau’s options in wake of Chrystia Freeland’s resignation?

Chrystia Freeland’s resignation from cabinet on Monday has encouraged some Liberal MPs to double down on their efforts to push Prime Minister Justin Trudeau out of the top job.

Trudeau faced frustrated MPs at a hastily arranged caucus meeting on Monday night. One MP who was in the room told CBC News that most of the 15 MPs who spoke at the meeting said Trudeau has to step down after mismanaging his once-crucial relationship with Freeland,

A number of other MPs have now publicly called on the prime minister to step aside and let someone else lead the Liberals into the next election.

I have no idea what that pissant will do.

Foreign reports on Trudeau’s fall from grace

Worthwhile Canadian Resignation

It may be that Chrystia Freeland could have resigned even more dramatically from Justin Trudeau’s government in Canada, though it would have taken something akin to kneeing him in public. But after the humiliation the prime minister visited on one of his most loyal and talented Cabinet ministers, he should have seen it coming.

The rise and fall of Justin Trudeau as Canadian prime minister is on the brink

Once the poster-boy for liberal politics, his popularity has waned and his approval rating has dipped below 30 per cent several times this year.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has been thrown into fresh disarray with the abrupt departure of his finance minister, Chrystia Freeland.

Canada: Trudeau’s Stumbling Government Appears on Verge of Collapse

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been fending off no-confidence votes and calls for his resignation for months, found his position increasingly perilous on Monday following the resignation of his deputy prime minister and minister of finance, Chrystia Freeland.

Justin Trudeau Nears the End in Canada

Canada’s press is reporting that Justin Trudeau may resign as Prime Minister, and why keep the country in pain any longer? The Liberal government has been on political life support for some time, and our neighbors to the north deserve a new election.

Trudeau’s own party turn on him to resign

Justin Trudeau is under mounting pressure – including from his own MPs – to step down as Canada’s prime minister before the end of the year.

Liberals slot nearly $600M for gun confiscation in new spending

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in Monday’s Fall Economic Statement indicated plans to spend $597.9 Million over three years to confiscate Canadians’ firearms.

So far Ottawa has blown through roughly $100 million already in attempts to collect government-licensed firearms — without collecting a single gun.

Joe Oliver: We’re witnessing the implosion of the Trudeau Liberals in real time

Last Friday, the prime minister fired his finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, who shocked the country by resigning from cabinet on Monday, hours before the fall economic statement (FES) was set to be tabled. Yet obvious tension between the two made the resignation less surprising, especially since the FES abandoned any lingering pretense of fiscal prudence, along with Freeland’s primary fiscal guardrail — a cap on the 2023-24 deficit at $40.1 billion.

What A Little Bitch! Trudeau told Freeland that Carney would replace her as finance minister over Zoom

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Chrystia Freeland in a Zoom call on Friday that she was going to be replaced as finance minister by former central banker Mark Carney, three Liberal sources say.

The sources say Mr. Trudeau was direct in the call, telling her that by Tuesday morning she would no longer be finance minister and that the job would be handed to Mr. Carney, former governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England. The Prime Minister still expected her to deliver the economic and fiscal update on Monday that showed she would miss the government’s promised $40.1-billion deficit target by more than $20-billion.

Freeland latest woman to exit cabinet, as others question Trudeau’s feminist credentials

Chrystia Freeland is just the latest high-profile woman to leave the federal cabinet after a clash with Justin Trudeau, prompting some critics to question the Liberal Prime Minister’s self-professed feminism.

Long before Ms. Freeland’s resignation as finance minister on Monday, other prominent female ministers have stepped aside after battles with Mr. Trudeau that boiled over into public view.

With Chrystia Freeland gone, an arrogant Justin Trudeau stands alone, devoid of credibility

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had every opportunity to craft a dignified end to his near-decade leading Canada. He could have listened to the clear message from Canadians that they’d enough of him. He could have seen that nothing the Liberals tried reversed their long slide in popularity. He could have chosen his moment.

Now, the moment has been chosen for him. It is now. Chrystia Freeland has put a noose around his neck and pulled the trap. The finance minister’s resignation, and the way she did it, effectively ends the Trudeau government.

Freeland finally says what Trudeau needs to hear as she exits cabinet

It took Chrystia Freeland’s exit letter for the former federal finance minister to say what business leaders, and a vast chunk of the population, have long wanted to hear her tell Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

It’s time to get serious, said Ms. Freeland as she quit the federal cabinet on Monday, after Mr. Trudeau told her on Friday he planned to move her out of the Finance Department. Time to “recognize the gravity of the moment” by partnering with premiers to face the existential threat posed by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s planned tariffs. Time to deal with persistent productivity problems.

Our failed immigration policy has hit food banks hard

Foreign students are a big part of food banks’ new users. Ottawa needs to make sure people coming here to study bring enough money for food

The Daily Bread and North York Harvest food banks recently released their annual Who’s Hungry report. It’s based on a central database used by food banks across Toronto, along with nearly 1400 survey responses collected at 67 sites across the GTA. The data show that in the past year Toronto’s food banks received a record-breaking 3.49 million client-visits this year, nearly a million more than last year.

Star Lickspittle suggests Freeland should have been be more Eva Braun & less Karla Homolka

Chrystia Freeland lost confidence in Justin Trudeau — and she showed it in the most damaging way possible

It wasn’t Chrystia Freeland’s announcement Monday that she was quitting as finance minister that marked the third and final act of Justin Trudeau’s government.

It was how she quit. How she tried to define what siding with the prime minister says about Liberals — MPs and cabinet ministers alike — and in doing so paved the way for deeper internal divisions and the impending showdown waiting in the wings.

Trudeau and Freeland did this …

This is Justin Trudeau’s worst day as prime minister — and it’s unlikely he’ll recover

Justin Trudeau has had many bad days as prime minister. But Monday, Dec. 16, 2024 will likely come to be seen as his worst. Recovery, to be blunt, seems impossible.

It is not only the surprise resignation of his deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, but the blazing way in which she departed, with a damning letter and a not-so-veiled warning that Trudeau’s time is running out. “Inevitably, our time in government will come to an end,” Freeland wrote.
