You do know that he hasn't actually "resigned" right? He'll officially resign after the Liberal Party has it's leadership convention. So he's still PM until who knows when which isn't good at all. What damage can he bring because he doesn't usually go through parliament & since it's not sitting, what will he come up with to screw us even more???
And he's out

Whether someone supports Justin or hates his guts, he at least finally got Marijuana legalised..... Too bad it happened AFTER I fk'n left the country and moved to Australia, where they are still stuck in the Prohibition days with weed. What a kick in the ass.
Probably the only good thing I can think of that he did.
Probably the only good thing I can think of that he did.
It’s weird with its positives & negatives. Didn’t just legalize weed, but did a large weird intrusive expansion of…what law enforcement can do regarding impaired driving, etc…
For example, if my girlfriend is at the pub, & I stop and pick her up after work on my way home…& I don’t even have a drink until I’m at home…up to two hours later the police can show up at my door & test me for inebriation, because my vehicle was at a bar (or pub, or liquor store) & I was driving it.
So if I drive her home, fire up the BBQ, have 2 or 3 drinks inside of that next two hours, at home, I can potentially be breathalyzed & lose my drivers licence, at home.
And they use your laving the bar or liquor store they can pull you over for no apparent reason . I have been stopped four times since summer and forced to blow for simply going through the cold wine and beer . Blew zero each time . The sad thing on three out of those four times the cop was pissed that I was sober.
Well that's goofy. Here in Australia they have drug tests and the old breath tests. They got what they call "Booze Buses" that are like giant camper vans parked on the side of the road and test you for everything.
I remember back when I was in NS, they had those seatbelt checks and if you appeared to be under the influence they had the right to test you under suspicion..... Here, it's not about the seatbelts. If you turn the corner and hit one of these stops, they're testing every single driver for everything under the sun, whether you show signs of drugs/alcohol or not.
Since 2011, I haven't been checked, not that they'd find anything, but my wife who doesn't drink or anything else, gets stopped and checked all the damn time.
It was cancelled women who cancelled 'feminist' Trudeau

In the end, it was women who helped end Justin Trudeau's run as a “feminist” prime minister.
In the end, it was a British Columbia mom at a ski resort who gave Prime Minister Justin Trudeau the boot that sent him flying over the political cliff that should end his grip on power.
“Please get the f— out of B.C,” said “farm mom” Emily Duggan on Dec. 27 at the Red Mountain Resort in Rossland, B.C.
Little did she know it would who her who would boot him out of leading Canada, as well.
“We won,” said the long-time critic of the prime minister on issues, ranging from gender studies in schools to vaccine mandates.
Her push on the ski hill — assuming Trudeau does leave office when the Liberals select a new leader — will be marked in the history books.
The irony is a self-declared feminist prime minister ended up being taken down by his battles with women.
In the end, while Trudeau may have fired Jody Wilson-Raybould, Chrystia Freeland, Julie Payette and Tamara Lich, the collective bruising he took from those episodes led to his demise.
“He’s not a feminist,” declared Tamara Lich, a leader of the pandemic Freedon Convoy protest in 2022. “He’s a chauvinist.”
Needless to say, when she watched Monday as Trudeau announced his intention to step down, Lich reflected on just how much damage this man has done to her and the country.
“I don’t wish anybody ill will,” she said. “However, you have to take the wins where you can get them. I have to take today to enjoy the moment.”
She hasn’t had many wins or days of enjoyment since being arrested in 2022. In fact, she has been waiting a long time for a win.
Still before the courts on mischief charges three years after the Freedom Convoy, she still faces 10 years in prison if convicted when her verdict is rendered on March 12.
“It’s still hanging over me,” she said. “Today was a step in the right direction, but hopefully myself and my co-accused, Chris Barber, have our fair day of justice, as well.”
A victim of the Trudeau government’s decision to unnecessarily impose the Emergencies Act, the Metis grandmother has already served 49 days in jail.
While there were no prosecutions resulting from Trudeau’s many scandals, for Lich, the biggest issues for her were the suspension of civil liberties, the forced vaccine mandates and the impact of the skyrocketing cost of living on working people.
“I had to bite my tongue watching the television where he said about working for the middle class when he destroyed the middle class.”
Even though she was jailed, and the other women were pushed aside, in the end, Canadians saw through this man and decided enough was enough.
Over the years, I have written many columns about Trudeau’s problems with women, including former First-Nations justice minister Wilson-Raybould, her supporter, former health minister Jane Philpott, and the throwing under the bus of former Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes.
There was also his poor treatment of a B.C. Liberal candidate, Karen Wang, who was lambasted for telling her voting base she was of Chinese heritage; former governor-general Payette, who was piled on for trying to get her millennial staff to work harder; and reporter Rose Knight, who was told by Trudeau that she had experienced her interaction with him differently.
While it was Freeland’s departure from cabinet which set this latest free fall of Trudeau’s leadership in action, the “farm” mother of two daughters over the Christmas holidays at a ski resort in British Columbia — who told Trudeau to “you suck” — set a tone he was never able to recover from.
Duggan told The Toronto Sun Monday that she felt instant elation upon hearing Trudeau’s retirement announcement on the radio while taking her child to school.
“I cheered out loud,” said Duggan. “My daughter said ‘What mom?’ I replied, ‘We did it. We outlasted him.’”
Other women he tangled with had their last-laugh moments on X, too.
“The PM did not sound like he wanted to go and was sadly not too gracious, but he is going,” posted Wilson-Raybould.
Philpott took the high road, tweeting: “It’s an emotional day. Anyone who served Canada as head of government deserves thanks and respect.”
While Trudeau is the guy who scolded Americans for twice failing to vote a woman into the Oval Office in favour of Donald Trump, in the end it was women who helped end his own run as a “feminist” prime minister.

WARMINGTON: It was cancelled women who cancelled 'feminist' Trudeau
In the end, it was women who helped end Justin Trudeau's run as a “feminist” prime minister.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, two Canadian citizens, David Joseph MacKinnon and Aris Lavranos, argued that Trudeau’s decision Monday to request the governor general prorogue Parliament until March 24 was made solely “in service of the interests of the LPC (Liberal Party of Canada).”
Funded by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), MacKinnon and Lavranos’s lawsuit is asking a Federal Court judge to strike Trudeau’s decision to request prorogation, and instead declare that Parliament has not been prorogued.
It’s the first of potentially many legal challenges to emerge against Trudeau’s successful request for prorogation, as reported by National Post last week. The Government of Canada has not yet filed a reply.
The unprecedented lawsuit faces a high legal bar, but if successful it could annul the prorogation, thus reconvening Parliament as early as Jan. 27 and forcing the Liberals to face a confidence vote earlier than expected (and possibly amid a Liberal leadership race).
Monday, Trudeau justified his request for prorogation — which coincides with the Liberal Party launching a leadership race to designate Trudeau’s replacement — due to the fact that Parliament needed a “reset” due to a “total lack of productivity” after months of procedural paralysis…due to…? Due to the Liberals refusing to handover unredacted documents to a parliamentary committee even after the speaker of the house is ordered them to do so.
In the application for judicial review, MacKinnon and Lavranos say Trudeau’s decision to request prorogation is both “incorrect and unreasonable” because it prevents Parliament from dealing “quickly and decisively” with pressing issues and helps the Liberals avoid a confidence vote until the end of March.

If the case is to remain relevant, the Federal Court will have to accept to hear it on an expedited basis…& will that happen?

What's the status of such things in Oz? Is compliance a law, a condition of one's license to drive, or is there some "reasonable suspicion" or "probable cause" requirement the cops are supposed to meet?
Its the same stupidity in Oz. Its okay to learn if you choose.
Same name even. MAS.
Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS), also known as random breath testing, is a common practice in Australia that has been in place since the 1980s. In Australia, police ask every driver stopped at a checkpoint to provide a breath sample while they remain seated in their vehicle.
MAS has been shown to have a positive impact on reducing the number of fatal and serious crashes. Studies have reported that up to one year after the introduction of MAS, fatal and serious crashes were reduced by up to 48%. Serious crashes also saw sustained annual reductions of about 25%.
MAS is authorized in over 40 countries worldwide, including New Zealand, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands, and Sweden.
By "the same," do you mean word for word, or similar (or identical) in effect?
As it happens, I know what the law is in Canaduh. I was asking about Australia. Asking somebody who might actually know. (Hint. . . not you.)
He was too chickenshit "like his party" to face the music in an election.
But then, why put Canadians first?
