Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

When President Joe Biden exited the presidential race to make way for Vice President Kamala Harris this summer, he knew his decision would be closely watched around the world.

What he didn’t realize is that it would make “doing a Biden” the new political shorthand for an embattled national leader who sees the writing on the wall and steps aside for others within his party. Or the move’s ripple effects: setting an example for those within democracies closely tied to the United States to pressure their own leaders to step down.

Former foreign affairs minister Marc Garneau is criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his office, saying that he was “never sure” if something conveyed to the Prime Minister’s Office “ever got to the prime minister’s ears.”

In an interview on Rosemary Barton Live airing Sunday, he said he felt the PMO “acted as a bit of a filter,” and that certain ministers had closer access to Trudeau, like childhood friends.

“There are occasions when a minister wants to talk directly to the prime minister. And I never felt, despite the fact that he said his door was always open, that was really something that he invited,” he told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.

Justin Trudeau reached back into the Liberal bag of tricks on Saturday and warned that only he can protect access to abortion.

Not that there is any pressing move to change the legal status of abortion in Canada, but Trudeau has had some bad polling numbers of late, so he obviously wants to scare as many voters as possible.

It used to be said that patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel. In today’s Canada, where the sentiments of national aspiration rest uneasily upon the lips of a prime minister who thinks Canada’s just a post-national entity— not a real country — a new refuge has had to be found.

He finds it in accusing other Canadians of hate.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government survived a confidence vote this week with the help of the NDP and the Bloc Québécois — but the Liberals will be facing another one very soon.

The Conservatives have said repeatedly they want to bring down the government as soon as possible and have put forward another non-confidence motion already. It’s expected to go to a vote next week.

The Liberal Party of Canada can’t even raise a decent revolt against its wildly unpopular prime minister — another sign of drop-dead decay.

Polls show that the only way the Liberals can win another election, or even hope to be the official Opposition, is to get rid of Justin Trudeau.
