    Non-Coalition Coalition that’s Definitely NOT a Coalition…

    (Trudeau has carried out four major cabinet shuffles: one in 2018, one in 2021, one in 2023, and another yesterday) The selection process does not bear close inspection. Of 153 Liberals, 30 were already in cabinet, 11 have said they are not running again and 40 to 50 are said to want the prime...

    Chrystia Freeland

    This is only from three months ago… There can be no other rational explanation for why the former finance minister is sticking around. None. Having fired a rocket directly at Justin Trudeau first thing Monday morning, she has now cleared the way for a run at the Liberal Party leadership. And...

    Pierre Poilievre

    Yet, they’re side by side with the Liberals… …& separated from the Conservatives by potentially approximately 200 seats or so. Singh's gradual effort to limit his alliance with the Liberals “hastened” this week (???) after Trudeau's finance minister quit, plunging the government into more...

    Pierre Poilievre

    Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the House of Commons should be recalled now that NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is finally vowing to bring forward a motion of non-confidence to take down the Liberal government…so you know that’s not gonna happen. It's unlikely that Governor General Mary...

    Trudeau announces Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia

    You know you’re probably not doing your best as a leader to stem an ever-growing wave of hate in your country when another leader has to personally phone you up to tell you so. That’s what happened Thursday after a repeated attack on Beth Tikvah synagogue in Montreal. That’s the message that was...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    The reality is that cabinet shuffles are a much bigger deal in what we’ll call “official Ottawa” compared to what’s going on in the lives of working people, trying to feed their families and pay the rent in the middle of an affordability crisis and runaway housing costs. More than a year of...

    Non-Coalition Coalition that’s Definitely NOT a Coalition…

    New Democrats pulled their puds support for the minority Liberal government on Friday, throwing the beleaguered Prime Minister’s tenure into further doubt just minutes before Justin Trudeau planned to shuffle his cabinet, etc… “The NDP will vote to bring this government down, and give Canadians...

    Non-Coalition Coalition that’s Definitely NOT a Coalition…

    The other parties are going to prop up the government when pigs fly. It will be interesting.

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    “You can shuffle the cards on the table as many times as you want, but it’s still the same deck, and the leader of this group is Justin Trudeau, and that’s the problem” Justin Trudeau will shuffle his cabinet this morning, with changes expected to about a quarter of his senior team after a...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    Like any prime minister of Canada, Trudeau retains immense and largely unchecked power to keep his job even if nobody wants him anymore. However this scandal plays out, if Trudeau doesn’t leave on his own accord, there’s actually little to stop him from unilaterally governing the country by...

    You probably have to minimize them considerably.

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    I’ve heard an unsubstantiated rumour, from an officially unofficial unauthorized source, that this cabinet shuffle is going to be “sizeable.” Meanwhile, Justin knows he’s on his way out the door, & that somebody’s gonna come along behind him and clean up after him…so it seems like a great time...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    A senior government source confirmed the shuffle is expected to include more than 10 people, including the current slate of ministers as well as new additions from the Liberal backbench. More than 10 people? Nine open posts? Someone else is goona get Freelanded? Justin Trudeau will shuffle his...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Then, with about 60 Liberal MP’s calling out for Trudeau’s resignation…& probably 30-40 biting their tongues hoping for one of the 9 cabinet positions…then I’m assuming we’ll really see the knives come out from those not gifted into Cabinet.

    Trudeau’s Newest New Carbon Tax

    Many. I can think of a couple on my own block, and a couple more that will probably not be there by spring due to fire, & a few garages within 200 feet of my house.
