Smell ya’ later” says the PM. Montreal-area MP and climate activist Steven Guilbeault says he will resign his seat in the House of Commons later this summer, according to a statement posted to social media.

Does he have his 6yrs in to get his pension indexed to inflation for life yet? Guilbeault said he will remain a member of the Liberal caucus until he resigns.
Under Canadian rules, MPs must contribute to the pension plan for a minimum of six years and reach 55 years of age to claim their pension. Having been first elected on October 21, 2019, he met the six-year service requirement on October 21, 2025 and reached the age threshold of 55 in June 2025.

“After almost seven years as a Member of Parliament and Minister, I have come to the conclusion that it is time for me to pursue my fight for environmental protection and the fight against climate change in a different way,” he said in his statement, thanking the residents of his riding Laurier-Sainte-Marie for electing him to Parliament.

Guilbeault’s political future within the Liberal Party of Canada has been in doubt ever since he quit Carney’s cabinet over the deal with Alberta that “could” see a new oil pipeline built to the West Coast.
hes a fool for quitting.

As Premier of Quebec, he could only really damage Quebec’s economy. As a federal green, he could irritate the whole country.
As a federal green in a marginal party he would be a louder and more annoying Elizabeth May…but in a provincial party as the Quebec Premier (they love him out there for some reason I’ve heard, maybe ‘cuz he’s very openly anti-Alberta?) he could get a lot more sound bites in a not “man bites dog” story situation with influence over 25% of the Canadian population.

“Politicians in Quebec who adopt critical stances toward Alberta—or federal oil and gas policies—gain popularity by tapping into strong, ‘culturally distinct’ provincial values that prioritize environmentalism, secularism, and local resource control.” Guilbeault would already be starting as being popular in Quebec, and criticizing Alberta's energy sector (basically Guilbeault’s political career so far) aligns with a broader push for Quebec’s provincial independence from federal overreach.

Yet if you remember the biggest push the separatists had was when the Quebec wing of the Conservative Party abandoned Mulroney and joined the block .Not all separatists are left leaning .

Fidel Castro's daughter asked about Trudeau-Castro love child rumour

Fidel Castro’s daughter, Alina Fernandez, didn’t deny the conspiracy theory that former prime minister Justin Trudeau is the son of the late Cuban dictator in a recent interview.


During an appearance on NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich Tonight on Tuesday, the exiled anti-communist activist was quizzed about the debunked rumour.

“For years, we’ve heard rumours that Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada, could be your half-brother. What do you think about it?” host Katie Pavlich asked.

The 70-year-old Cuban activist laughed and said, “The only thing I can say is that his mother used to visit the country very often.”

Pavlich then said, “Well, that may be a tell then. I guess that’s a half-answer.”

Fernandez, still smiling, said, “Yes.”



Fishing for more details, Pavlich asked, “Do you plan to call him and maybe find out?”

Fernandez responded, “No, no. I won’t do it. If he wants, he’s welcome, but I won’t, I won’t. I think he keeps that to himself, and you have to respect that.”

The activist was asked about the unsubstantiated claim near the end of her interview in which she spoke about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba as the communist country continues to grapple with power outages and food shortages.



What sparked the gossip
The long-running rumour first emerged after the Cuban dictator’s death in 2016, when the office of the then-prime minister sparked backlash by releasing a statement calling Castro a “legendary revolutionary,” while acknowledging that he was a “controversial figure.”

U.S. President Donald Trump further fanned the rumour in a 2024 book, titled Save America, in which he wrote that Trudeau’s mother, Margaret, was “somehow associated” with Castro.

“A lot of people say that Justin is his son,” Trump wrote. “He says that he isn’t, but how the hell would he know!”

While Trudeau’s father, Pierre, and Castro were friends, media reports showed that Pierre and Margaret Trudeau didn’t officially visit Cuba until 1976, which was five years after Justin was born.

Rummage thru Trudeaus garage and get the DNA. Even one of his kids will do.
