No, he's on a flyabout. It's a more recent phony climate alarmist tradition.
Yeah, govt agencies not operating, people unable to travel after two years of obeying useless mandates, conflict of interest after conflict of interest, obstructing justice, still don't have a sitting Parliament and it's unlikely we will after the summer recess, passport holdups, airport congestion that makes rush hour on the 405 look like an F1 race, constant attacks on Western oil while propping up Eastern Canada's oil production, political persecution, giving himself an ersatz majority govt against the decision of the Canadian voters (but he claims he's defending democracy don't'cha know),
Ultimately, he's a worthless sack who continuously acts in the opposite to what he says. He said he wanted to encourage more PhD's and innovators/inventors to come to Canada and them immediately upped the taxes on the kinds of pay innovators and inventors typically get.
He stated HIS govt would be open, honest and transparent (in a sad effort to suggest that the Harper govt wasn't) and despite having all kinds of opportunities to stand behind his promise, NOT ONCE has Trudeau showed any signs of being open, honest or transparent, not once.
He said he supported the Middle Class and wanted to help more people get there, and then immediately went and made life more expensive making it harder for people to reach the Middle Class while he hammered away at the Middle Class itself, making it harder, if not impossible for some of them to maintain their economic class.
Plus he's a racist and misogynist, as proven by his actions. So yeah man, what's not to like about the guy? I can see why you would defend him.
You just don't see WHERE I defend him, because that place exists only in whatever you use for a mind.
…& that brings us six months forward into the future towards 2025 where Mr Singh has had the opportunity to dispel the rumours…It would be kind to call federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh “two-faced.”
During daylight hours, Singh is the enthusiastic lickspittle of the Trudeau Liberals. “Yes, Mr. Trudeau. Whatever you say, Mr. Trudeau.”
But after dark, “Jag-meek” transforms into “Jag-gernaut.” After propping up the Liberal government all day, Singh opens up his Twitter app and spends his evening hours tearing the Libs new ones.

I think he's a "were-marx" By day he's neville chamberlin and insists if we give the liberals poland they'll go away, but at night he turns into Joseph Stalin and demands the proletariat rise up and take over the health care system.
The fundamental flaw in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s climate change strategy is that people were supposed to have choices in lowering their greenhouse gas emissions that would save them money.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came to office in 2015 with a simple message : “It’s about the middle class.” But as more and more people struggle to pay their bills thanks to levels of inflation not seen since the early 1980s, it’s become vividly clear that Liberal claims about fighting for the middle class don’t translate into a genuine concern for working Canadians.
The government’s hypocrisy was on full display on Tuesday, when Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, promoting the government’s response to runaway inflation at a trucking company in Brampton, Ont., dismissed concerns about high fuel prices hurting truckers and raising the cost of goods and services.
“From my perspective, this price increase in fuel costs is a reminder of why climate action is so important, and why as a country we have to work even harder and move even faster towards a green economy,” she said. “It’s an insurance policy against higher energy prices.”
Her tone-deaf response showed a complete lack of regard for the very real struggles many Canadians are facing due to the high cost of living. But it should not come as a surprise: since coming to office, the Liberals have made no secret of their desire to raise fuel prices, in order to reduce carbon emissions and incentivize more energy-efficient technologies.
Policies such as the carbon tax and punishing restrictions placed on the oil and gas sector have always been a problem. But when the economy was strong and inflation was low, their economic impact was not as readily apparent.

Government tone deaf to rising fuel pricesapple.news
For example, people would be able to replace their internal combustion engine cars for electric vehicles that would be competitive in price, performance and refuelling stations, as well as cheaper to operate.
Or they could choose enhanced public transit as an alternative to a car.
Or they could switch from heating their homes with carbon-intensive oil to lower-emitting natural gas, or replace fossil fuel energy by purchasing heat pumps.
All of this would happen, the federal government claimed, while 80% of Canadian households paying the federal carbon tax would end up better off because of quarterly climate action incentive payments.
The problem with the Trudeau government on this was its failure to realize that its expectations given current levels of technology and public and private infrastructure, were unrealistic.
People living in rural communities that have no public transit, or need their cars for work, cannot abandon them.
People who cannot afford EVs — even with government rebates — cannot convert from internal combustion engine vehicles.
People whose only option for heating fuel is oil cannot switch to natural gas — primarily but not limited to Atlantic Canada — and people who cannot afford heat pumps cannot buy them to replace fossil fuel energy.
Canada’s independent, non-partisan Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux reported that factoring in the negative impact on the economy caused by the carbon tax, 60% of households paying it are already worse off, not 80% better off.
That’s the reason for the Trudeau government’s backflip last week in announcing a three-year exemption from the federal carbon tax on households heating their homes with oil, doubling the climate action incentive top-up from 10% to 20% for people in rural communities and increasing federal subsidies for people who convert their homes to heat pumps, instead of burning fossil fuels.
The problem is that subsidizing taxpayers to lower their carbon footprints, using money taken from taxpayers to do so in the absence of people having realistic options to lower their emissions, is robbing Peter to pay Paul, which is unsustainable over the long term.

Serious question. . . I suppose technically anything could happen, but as I understand it, you're down to a two-horse race for the next PM, True Dope and Poo-lover, right?
Yeah, pretty much, for all intents and purposes, but anything is possible, but most outcomes beyond that are not probable.
Short version. There’s many many federal political parties, but most are just not viable (Communist Left-Handed Vegan Party, etc…for example)…. But of those that have potential currently, or potentially within the next handful of cycles there of the following:
1) Liberals
2) NDP
3) Bloc Québécois
4) CPC (Conservatives)
5) Greens
6) some break away, further right leaning party, whose name I can’t even recall at this point run by Maxine Bernier.
(Dark horses that don’t currently exist, can come out and gain popularity, and within a few cycles be a potential contender)
Out of the above Parties, #’s 5 & 6 are lucky to get 1-3 seats out of the (currently) 338 available.
The Bloc Québécois (#3) is really a regional party only inside and for Quebec, so it’s never going to be anything beyond a voting block for Québec’s interests, so it’s a potential coalition partner, and that’s about it.
(That boils things back down to three parties currently being #’s 1,2, & 4)
With Parties 1 & 2 in something like but not a coalition (let’s call it a non-coalition coalition), with party #2 (no pun intended) propping up party #1 regardless of the ethic scandals or shenanigans…has shown itself (in its current incarnation, until they reinvent themselves, which they’re not gonna do with their current leader) as a yappy disloyal Chihuahua type of party, so it’s probably going to be beyond irrelevant in the near to immediate future. It’s usually (for Canada’s perception of political scale) off to the left of centre somewhat to more than somewhat…
That, as you’ve observed above in your questioning, really leaves two parties (and some potential alliances or coalitions with the other parties) to choose from.
“Usually” they’re not much different than each other, with the Liberals a bit left of center, & the CPC a bit right of center. I say usually as every so often one or the other veers off away from the centre in a somewhat dramatic fashion, and eventually gets spanked by the electorate until they return back to somewhat close to the centre again. Either party can do this and the safeguard is the other party hopefully Stays near the centre to give an alternative to the tangents. That’s how I understand things anyway.
“Usually” a party gets one or two cycles in power, then they get recycled, and the other one gets one or two cycles, and it gets recycled to reset back towards the centre hopefully. There have been a few exceptions over time but that’s usually the pattern.
I’m sure (and would almost be disappointed if) someone else doesn’t see the above situation completely differently and comes along to correct what I’m stating.
The two dominant political parties in Canada have historically been the current Liberal Party of Canada and the Conservative Party of Canada (as well as its numerous predecessors).
