Former Liberal deputy prime minister John Manley says it would be in Canada’s best interest to hold an election as soon as possible.

(I’m not gonna hold my breath)
“It would be in the country’s interest if we were to have our federal election and put a government in place, whether the current one or a different one, in time to deal with what’s coming out of Washington after Jan. 20,” Manley said.


Trump has vowed to impose more tariffs on trade partners, though some argue Canadian oil may be left out of such a move, while NATO defence spending has been a prominent frustration for American officials pressuring Canada to spend more.

When we didnt want a Chinese influenced election in the midst of a global pandemic with vaccine passport bullshit we had one. When we want one when our biggest threat is Trudeau, he wont have one while trying to cover up the election fraud.

At least this, for the Liberals, is distracting from the SDTC Green Slush Fund Scandal & the fact that parliament has been tied up and unable to do anything for the last three weeks…& then the drama of emerging from the Liberal caucus meeting like…whatever that was… Lying about how strong and united the liberal party happens to be???

So…. What else will get slid through in this one day pause in Parliament?

Trudeau hits Mar a Lago. Would be a nice place to stay and right up there with JT's usual level of comfort. Billed to Canada of course but that's of no concern.

Looks to me like the main discussion point was hair styles but can't figure out which way the info was flowing.

May 2021- "Nobody wants an election in the middle of a pandemic."- Justin Trudeau

Aug 2021- "We's having an election on Sept. 20 as a 4th wave of Covid rears its ugly head"- Justin Trudeau.
Well, the level of Liberal voters in the Liberal tub certainly is lower than it was, and (so far) getting lower every day.

The Liberals aren't circling the drain yet, but one can hope.
We’re now in the run-up to the three leaders’ debates of the election campaign, of which the first two will be in French this Thursday and next Wednesday, with the one in English the following night. In effect, two-thirds of the six hours of prime time will be in the official language of one-fourth of Canadians.
…& that was the last election, billed by JT as “the most important election since WW2” or something crazy like that. In the summer of 2021, Justin Trudeau argued that he needed a new mandate to lead Canadians through the COVID-19 pandemic. That it was, even during a pandemic, with lockdowns still in place, masks mandatory, absolutely necessary!! Yet his justification was clear: leading through an extraordinary challenge required fresh validation from the people.

Fast forward to today, and Canadians find themselves facing an economic crisis that dwarfs even the pandemic in its potential to shape our nation’s future. Donald Trump has threatened a devastating 25% tariff on Canadian exports, a move that would cripple industries and cost countless jobs.

It’s not hyperbole to say this could be the single greatest economic challenge our country has ever faced. And yet, this time, the prime minister isn’t calling for a new mandate?
1733964412425.jpeg
Why the change in calculus? If Trudeau believed Canadians needed to endorse his pandemic plan at the ballot box, how can he justify clinging to power without fresh public support now, as Canada stares down the barrel of an economic disaster?
1733964717144.jpeg
The stakes could not be higher. Trump’s tariffs will not only damage our economy but also our ability to respond. Leadership matters in moments like this. A government with no clear mandate and no fresh ideas is a recipe for indecision, delay, and political paralysis.
1733964900164.jpeg
Worse still, dragging out the inevitable risks plunging Canadians into an election in the middle of an economic storm, with a new government forced to pick up the pieces and scramble to chart a course in the midst of chaos.
1733964943070.jpeg
This is not about partisan politics; it’s about preparing Canada for what lies ahead. A divided, distracted government cannot effectively navigate a crisis of this magnitude.
1733965006867.jpeg
If Trudeau genuinely believes in his own argument for a new mandate from the people during times of crisis, he should put his government to the test. If he wants a mandate to take on Trump, he should ask for one from the people.😳

Canadians deserve clarity and confidence as we face this economic threat — not political inertia. Leadership is about stepping up, not clinging on.
If Trudeau wants Canadians to trust him with their future, he should give them the chance to decide if they still do.
1733965215009.jpegAnd if he won’t, it raises an uncomfortable question: is this about what’s best for Canada or what’s best for Justin Trudeau?

The country deserves an answer — and a chance to choose.

Just asking, by Globalist, what do you mean exactly?
He follows the WEF. What does the WEF stand for? World-wide rule.

Three & heading towards four years into the Liberals last term in power for what I’m assuming is going to be a long long time….

Justin Trudeau is the captain of a battered old tub caught in a tsunami. There’s a hole in the hull, the water’s rising, half the vessel is beneath the surface and there’s an ominous sound suggesting it’s about to break in two. The lifeboats are out and the crew is fleeing.

A call arrives in the frantic radio room.

“Where’s your captain?” asks a voice.

“He’s locked in a room next to the bridge.”

“What’s he doing there?”

“Reflecting on his future.”
More than 50 of Ontario’s 75-member Liberal caucus agreed in a mass call that Trudeau has to go and assigned caucus chair Michael Coteau to give the prime minister the message. There’s probably a few Liberals outside of Ontario with similar thoughts I would assume also.
1734994354307.jpeg
Leaks from within the defensive circle of Trudeau confidantes suggest he has no plan to step aside during the holidays, while Trudeau himself insists on pretending there’s nothing to see here.

I’m wondering where Tropical Trudeau is, & mentally picturing him preaching about us all reducing our carbon footprints just trying to keep our homes heated and getting back-and-forth to work….

(Eddie Goldenberg, chief of staff and eminence grise to former prime minister Jean Chretien, says Trudeau should quit now, let the caucus pick a successor and hold off on a permanent replacement until after an election the Liberals seem certain to lose badly. Goldenberg sugars the pill by arguing Trudeau could then claim to be undefeated — having jumped before he was pushed — and could busy himself in “explaining to Quebecers the benefits of being part of Canada” should another Quebec independence referendum occur)

Two years into the Trudeau/Singh Non-Coalition Coalition that’s definitely not a Coalition-type Coalition Term, which day will Jugmeet call the election that neither he nor Justin wants?​

Better figure out a way to convince Canadians that we should allow Quebec to stay fist. If Quebec has another referendum on leaving, we must all have the right to vote on their being gone.
