Can Canadians finally get rid of Trudeau?

It is too close to call, but moving in the right direction

The latest polls show a Conservative minority government.

What is surprising is how resilient the Liberals have been despite 7 years of terrible leadership under Justin Trudeau. Soaring government debt, rampant inflation, the loss of stature abroad and the embarassing moments as Trudeau holds hands with foreign Minister Melany Joly in public, which must cause needless pain for Sophie Gregoire.

Trudeau is without doubt the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history. Smug, arrogant, narcissistic and self-absorbed, Justin Trudeau’s primary objective in public is another photo shoot. Yet many Canadians adore him.

Trudeau’s policies could not be worse for Canada. His use of the War Measures Act (conveniently renamed the Emergency Act) was not only unnecessary but also evidence of his arrogance, as these extraordinary powers were invoked for nothing more than a handful of protesters upset with his vaccine mandates (which were not supported by any science and have been demonstrated to have done nothing to prevent the spread of COVID but did put many young people at risk of myocarditis). Trudeau’s attack on our vital energy industry saps Canada’s economic strength despite being grounded in a specious (but popular) belief that CO2 causes climate change, which is demonstrably does not. Trudeau’s Impact Assessment Act was a death blow to pipelines that would be of great value today to take Canadian hydrocarbons to Europe and the United Kingdom where people are in danger of freezing owing to the shortage of fossil fuels in that region and many now find home heating unaffordable as oil and natural gas prices have more than doubled in the case of oil and more than tripled in the case of natural gas in two short years. The Impact Assessment Act has additionally frustrated and delayed progress on critical mining projects, assisting competing jurisdictions to take the lead in developing copper, nickel and cobalt reserves that are necessary for the production of electric vehicles (EV’s). This is just another example of an emerging technology where Canada had all the resources to be a world leader but lacks the leadership with enough foresight to seize the opportunity. Instead of creating an environment where Canada had the opportunity to become not only a leader in the assembly of EV’s but also a major source of necessary materials for batteries and electric motors, Trudeau attends events to celebrate the construction of foreign-owned battery and EV assembly facilities reliant on imported materials.

Canada needs Trudeau out of Ottawa, and the latest poll is a glimmer of hope. But for the greed of Jagmeet Singh who appears to be propping up the Liberals solely to stay in Parliament long enough to qualify for a lifetime pension, voters would have had their chance to oust Trudeau by now.

Trudeau just returned from a two-week holidays in Costa Rica, no doubt the venue where he keeps assets offshore to avoid the Canadian taxes he likes to impose on the rest of us. His climate hypocrisy was in plain view as he traveled to and around that country by jet and helicopter at taxpayer expense.
