Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is fighting once again for his political life. Behind closed doors.

At an emergency meeting Monday evening — called after Chrystia Freeland, Trudeau’s now former top deputy and one-time “minister of everything” quit as finance minister — the prime minister came to face to face with Freeland along with an angry and bewildered caucus before he planned to go explain the crisis to the Liberal party’s top donors.

This will make you vomit.

If you squint and use a little imagination, you can see the pile of brains sitting outside the cabinet room on Parliament Hill. That pile has been sitting there for nearly a decade, heavy with the organs of the men and women who hold some of the most powerful positions in Canada’s government. These ministers have been expected to remove them from their skulls before they enter the room, so that the vacant space in their heads can be filled with nonsense directly from the Prime Minister’s Office.

A loyal asshole is still an asshole.

Chrystia Freeland, the deputy prime minister who led Canada’s response to the first Trump administration, resigned abruptly on Monday from the cabinet in a stinging rebuke to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, marking the first open dissent from any cabinet member and raising questions about his hold on power.

The revelation, in a letter of resignation, came hours before Ms. Freeland, who had been the finance minister, was scheduled to outline the government’s commitments to improve border security with the United States as part of an interim budget.

A STUDY of millions of citizens shows that covid vaccination ‘significantly increased’ the risks for depression, anxiety, various stress disorders and sleep problems. The same study showed the vaccinations ‘significantly decreased’ the risk for developing bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

In a speech to a feminist political charity in Ottawa Tuesday night, Justin Trudeau lamented the election of Donald Trump as a setback for women’s progress.

“I want you to know that I am, and always will be, a proud feminist,” he said. “You will always have an ally in me and in my government.”

On Friday, the proud feminist had a meeting with Canada’s first female finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, and told her that he intended to replace her, presumably with Mark Carney, on Tuesday.

Not to put too fine a point on it, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh evidently has more confidence in Justin Trudeau than Trudeau’s own finance minister has.

After all, Singh hasn’t quit, has he?

Instead, it’s Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland who resigned today rather than deliver a fall economic update that is rumoured to report a $62 billion deficit.

Strong, principled women have always been a problem for our feminist prime minister, but the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland should finally put a stake through the heart of this government, which has been on life-support for months.

How best to now describe Justin Trudeau: the zombie prime minister? The Walking Dead prime minister? If he steps down — and he should — then he’ll join the ghosts of prime ministers past.

Canada’s governing Liberal party will learn just how unpopular it is – or if a unprecedented political turnaround is possible – as voters near Vancouver head to the polls in a byelection rife with plot twists and backstabbing.

The electoral district of Cloverdale–Langley City in British Columbia is up for grabs on Monday after Liberal John Aldag resigned earlier this year for an unsuccessful run in provincial politics.

Among those contesting the seat is former MP Tamara Jansen, who held it from 2019 until 2021. Jansen is hoping to capitalize on fatigue with the Liberals and a significant shift towards the Tories. The Liberals have already lost two political strongholds this year.

OTTAWA — Liberal House leader Karina Gould has tabled the government’s fall economic statement in the House of Commons.

… The document shows a much larger deficit than expected for the fiscal year that ended last March because of billions of dollars the government expects to pay for Indigenous legal claims and pandemic-related benefits and loans it doesn’t expect to recover.

The deficit for 2023-24 came in at $61.9 billion, almost $22 billion more than forecast when the government delivered its budget last spring.

It sucks, everyone knew it would.

The sudden resignation of Justin Trudeau’s finance minister threw his leadership into doubt and his minority government into chaos Monday after Chrystia Freeland quit just hours before she was set to deliver a key fiscal update in the House of Commons.

Instead, Freeland’s stunning resignation, her revelations that Trudeau wanted to yank her from the finance portfolio, that she and Trudeau had argued for weeks over “political gimmicks” in the fall economic update, and clashed over how best to ready Canada for the Trump administration’s threatened tariff war set the stage for a day of intense political drama on Parliament Hill.

Justin believes he is the Chosen One. He won’t do the right thing.

Who saw Chrystia Freeland pulling a gun, after Justin Trudeau unsheathed a knife?

The finance minister is an unlikely champion of the Chicago Way, but she has just pulled off a coup that may end up toppling this government.

Just hours before she was due to give her fall economic statement, she quit.

A leadership bid? She may be popular among Liberals but she is nearly as despised as Justin by TROC.

OTTAWA — It was a beautiful evening in Old Montreal. The sun wasn’t quite setting and the temperature was a perfect 25 degrees Celsius.

But that was outside the swanky Place d’Armes Hotel. Inside, the atmosphere was chillier.

If all your partners complained about the same aspect of your behaviour again and again, you might start to reflect on the fact that you are the common denominator. At some point it may occur to you that you, not they, are the source of the problem.

Despite serious friction about the soundness of his policy decisions with two consecutive finance ministers, which culminated in Chrystia Freeland’s resignation on Monday, it does not seem that this possibility has occurred to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

It’s fun to watch them eat their own but why no regime ending internal revolt? Too many lickspittles.
