Exit Trudeau Stage Left

On Jan. 6, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that he was stepping down as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. This is a big step that for some time has been greatly longed for by the vast majority of Canadians who can no longer tolerate him. But the significance of this move can only be understood in the details.

Trudeau was facing a no-confidence vote brought by the Conservatives and slated for Jan. 27 when parliament was scheduled to go back into session. But before making his announcement, Trudeau asked Governor General Mary Simon to prorogue parliament for 11 weeks until March 24 so the no-confidence vote could no longer happen. This is the longest that parliament has ever been prorogued in Canadian history. Parliament must meet by the end of March because the government will run out of money without a new budget by then.

All budget votes are technically no-confidence votes but one held at the end of March may still pass because Jagmeet Singh, leader of the socialist New Democratic Party may yet find another excuse to prop up the Liberal government even though he has recently tried to distance himself from Trudeau and the Liberals. (Note: the NDP is presently impecunious and cannot afford to go into a general election.)

Meanwhile, the Liberal Party will hold a leadership race to determine who will replace Trudeau. Theoretically, anyone could throw his or her hat in the ring but more likely it will be someone with name recognition who will try to boost the party’s standing in the polls, which is now down to about a 28 percent approval rating. The Liberal caucus is now in open revolt but it must be remembered that most Liberal members of Parliament are go-along-to-get-along drones and the revolt is mainly due to the fact that they want to distance themselves from Trudeau in the hope of saving their own seats.

It must also be remembered that all of the potential contenders with any chance of winning the leadership race are Trudeau acolytes. That is to say that they are World Economic Forum globalists, you know the folks who are famous for saying such inspiring things as: “We are the Future”; “You will own nothing and be happy”; “You will eat bugs”; “We will be able to read your thoughts and memories”; and “We will blot out the sun with clouds of balloons to stop global warming.” Those folks.

In 2017, at a gathering at Harvard University, Klaus Schwab, then head of the World Economic Forum, singled out Trudeau as his pet disciple and stated that fully half of Trudeau’s cabinet was on board with the World Economic Forum agenda.

One possible contender for the Liberal leadership is Chrystia Freeland who was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance until she recently had a public falling out with Trudeau over the projected deficit. She is obviously trying to distance herself from him in the hope of becoming Party leader and eventually Prime Minister. This won’t be easy to accomplish because, for almost a decade, she has been at his side every step of the way in his systematic destruction of Canada.

Indeed, she is arguably the foremost chief architect of that destruction. Who can forget the smirk on her face when she announced that she was “de-banking” the peaceful protesters of the Truckers Freedom Convoy as well as their supporters?

Another prominent contender often mentioned is Mark Carney, a former governor of the Bank of Canada, followed by a stint as governor of the Bank of England. A couple of months ago, he was engaged as an economic adviser to the Liberal Party, perhaps to bring him back into the limelight, but not because the party was considering a change of course. He too is a staunch globalist and is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Foundation Board of Directors.

Carney’s public advice for economic recovery is “de-carbonization” which he claims to be really competitive. As witnessed by what has been happening to the German economy, this is the exact opposite of the truth. Germany has for decades been at the forefront of de-carbonization to fight the boogeyman of climate change. It has decommissioned coal and nuclear power generation like crazy, opting instead for unreliable solar and wind generation, and, consequently, its energy costs have wildly soared leading to the steady deindustrialization of the Ruhr and the recent shrinking of the German economy.

Unlike Trudeau, Carney does not sound like a fool when he opens his mouth. He would never say something like, “The budget will balance itself.” But aside from outward appearances and his vaunted success as a central banker, he is still a climate change alarmist (possibly due to the influence of his wife, Diana, who is known for her social justice and environmental activism).

So don’t count on an election in Canada right away. It may not take place until late spring or possibly not even until October 25 which is the legal hard deadline to call it. Meanwhile, expect a lot of Liberal Party image management from now until then in the hope of regaining the confidence of Canadian voters. The Liberals are desperate. If they cannot increase their poll numbers, they may not even be able to attain the status of the official opposition in the next election. It is even possible that they will be assigned to oblivion.

Meanwhile, Canadians are hurting for reasons similar to those that Americans have been hurting under the Biden administration. These antics by the Trudeau Liberals to cling to power may backfire and hurt them even more — just as appears to have happened to the Democrats in the run-up to the November election. It is said that people get the leaders that they deserve and there is some truth to that, but with modern methods of manipulating popular opinion, it’s much easier than it used to be to fool the people.

Canadians are said to be nice, and they really are nice, but unfortunately too nice for their own good. Trudeau’s appeal has always been to the emotions of Canadians and not their reason. Canadians are now finally ready for the commonsense “revolution” of the Conservative Party of Canada. It looks like lessons have finally been learned — the hard way.
