  2. I predict that they will all come away from this with big smiles on their faces, fists raised in the air, and proclaiming how great the party is now that Justin has heard their concerns.
    It’s all just for show.

  3. Don’t give in, Justin. The longer you put off your retirement, the deeper the hole you dig for the Liberals.

    1. “Don’t give in, Justin. The longer you put off your retirement, the deeper the hole you dig for the Liberals.”

      Agreed. Let his arrogance be his undoing.

    2. The deeper hole he’ll dig is for regular Canadians, one they may never recover from, so to hell with that nonsense about the Lib Party’s potential demise as if it matters much.

      1. It’s not like his replacement from the Liberal Party will suddenly slam everything into reverse. They might even make things worse.

        No, we’ll have to wait for an election.

        1. I love it; counting on an election to maybe stem the rot. Canada doesn’t have a Donald Trump who will fight tooth and nail to restore some semblance of sanity to the now benighted land.

    3. Four points:

      1. What more possible damage can this current crop of corrupt, traitorous, taxpayer-mugging, bank account-freezing, border-opening, ethnic-pandering, free speech-impeding, national decline-ignoring clowns do?

      2. Never give your enemies assistance when they are in the process of destroying themselves. The Harrington Lake Lisper has already wrecked his own political career and historical legacy and now it’s time to for his MPs – who’ve I’ve described elsewhere in this blog as “trained seals, obedient lapdogs and fart-catching sycophants” (at least when Justin appeared to be popular – they have heretofore been with him, and have been complicit with everything he did) – to watch their own careers and historical legacies similarly implode. It’s wonderful to watch!

      3. The Current Liberal ‘Hail Mary’/Dream Strategy is to have some Magical Saviour (Mark Carney?) come in deus ex machina-style and save the Liberal Party’s collective ass. I’ve earned the right to be worried about the Canadian voters being gullible enough to believe that if such an event happens, that Our Natural Governing Party has duly error-corrected, trimmed its sails, righted the ship, etc., etc (choose your metaphor) and that for having such good sense (“the sensible Canadian middle way” – LOL), rewarding them by yet again re-electing the bastards.

      4. The potential damage to the country that I mentioned in my above Point #1 (9 months or so of Liberal rule with the possibility of them being distracted by infighting), is VASTLY LESS than the potential damage to the country that would occur under the possible “Dream Strategy” scenario mentioned in my above Point #3 (many more terms of Liberal rule stretching way into the future).

        1. Two words: Anita Anand. They have been grooming this “woman of color” for years, and I’d bet a beer they are about to wheel that DEI hire out front. She ruined eveything she touched with her feminist and diversity idelogy, especially DND.

      2. Strongly agree on all points. We’re all looking forward to seeing the back end of him, but if they were to replace him with another leader before the next election it would actually benefit the LPC at the expense of the rest of us because their election night beatdown wouldn’t be quite as severe.

        A thorough electoral repudiation of Liberal culture with Trudeau at the helm would be far more consequential over the long run than whatever ridiculous schemes/policies Trudeau (and Freeland — ack!) can fumble up over the next nine months.

        They don’t really have a mandate anyway, IMO. There increasingly seems to be something resembling a national consensus that we’re approaching the tail end of a annoying clown show.

      3. “What more possible damage…”

        Do not tempt the Gods.

        They could crash the Canadian Dollar down to Peso territory. They could sent the cops out to seize all firearms. They could shut down the oil industry, shut down all the pipelines, and leave us freezing in the dark. They could throw anyone who doesn’t like it in jail.

        And they could do it -legally-. Ask an old Japanese, they did it to them. 100% legal.

        1. Er, Phantom, I realize that I’m exaggerating ONLY SLIGHTY (for comic purposes), but haven’t the Federal Liberals already done most of that???

  5. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr Dressup requires a “Team America” loyalty test from every person prior to leaving. Could really stretch the meaning of “caucus member”. There’s nothing short of next October that can get rid of the bad rash that infects the Libs. 12 more months, Rats!

    1. Inviting disaffected members to leave could be a route to an early election. Standing up to the boy blunder gives them a faint hope of reelection while supporting him almost assures their defeat. If they stand up they do risk being ostracized by the party for evermore. On the other hand if they support him and the election is lost they will spend years in the wilderness as used EV salespeople since they are not likely to get a plum sinecure once out of office for a long while.
      Bring on the popcorn

  9. Could it be possible that we have it all wrong.
    That perhaps, the problem for Liberals is not that the Turd doesn’t want to step down,,, but rather nobody wants to take his place at the helm of a sinking ship??? nobody wants to be K. Campbell !
    It’s possible some of those in cabinet, may not know how desperate the LPC is for someone with leadership talent, to step forward.
    Who,,, with serious leadership ambitions wants to step forward now??? and if they pick a “disposable nobody” to lead the party in the next election, they very well may get sacked down to 2 seats,,, a.k.a. Kimmy.

    1. The rubic now is whether any contender wants to lead a coup to sit as PM for two months and a footnote or live the remainder of their political career as the leader of an opposition party…. and a smaller footnote.

      1. Other than a once great rack, I’m not sure what Christy Clark brings to the table.

        On second thought…

  11. “they can choose whether they want to get behind him or leave.”

    They need to get behind him in order to stab him in the back.

    1. Remember: The Ides of March are not so much about stabbing as getting together to stab as a community.

  12. In situations like this the party gets split in two factions, in this case the non-Trudeau vs pro-Trudeau Libranos. For this to happen there should be some Librano with spine and balls. But Blackie made sure all these years that the whole party is infected with spineless boot-lickers.

  13. “Are you depressed because the leader of your party has made it impossible for you to keep your high-paying job? Perhaps you should consider Medical Assistance In Dying.”

  14. As a narcissist, Justin lives in an alternate reality that is a product of his own imagination. He cannot fathom that he is the captain of the sinking ship. He’s starting to sound a lot like Hitler in his final days in the bunker.

  15. The Democrats and the Liberals both made somewhat similar mistakes.

    The Democrats refused to face the reality of Biden’s deteriorating cognition until it became impossible to ignore. As a result, they didn’t have a proper primary to select a replacement, and ended up with a suboptimal presidential candidate.

    And the Liberals’ leader refuses to retire even well past his best-before date. So either he’s going to lead the Liberals into an election catastrophe, or his replacement will have too little time to reorganize the party to ensure they become at least the loyal opposition.

    1. Came to the same conclusion and made an estimate that they had till last February to have him replaced.
      Meaning he was off the big chair, leadership contest complete and new leader sworn in by February 15 2024 as the cut off.
      They likely presented this possibility to him at Chrétien’s birthday party and they couldn’t penetrate the conceit.
      Now those that expect to lose their seat are frantically looking for a new meal ticket before the writ drops

    2. The option of bailing out at the very last moment is definitely there. That would allow Justin to jump off at a time when the ship’s drain cocks are open the hold is half full of water and then deny all responsibility.

  17. It’s still too early for that pos to leave. He still has ample time to really hurt Canadians, and then at the last minute bail. Then the conservatives don’t have enough time to let the Canadian people know what a rat takes his place. More importantly, fence sitters can now go back and vote for the liberals and not have to worry about that pos. He has to stay

  18. I feel sorry for the people of New Brunswick after they elected a civil servant CUPE member. Anyone who does not have a government job is in for some hard times. Bonne Chance mes amis

  19. Re: the new CUPE female premier of New Brunswick. She made some nice cuddly promises, e.g. 30 health clinics.

    BUT, whoa, also a RENT CAP. Rent control?!?!

    Was puzzzled when I read her brief bio stating that she had been a civil servant and a BUSINESS CONSULTANT. Gubmint influencer for lobbyists then eh?

    He wasn’t thinking about rent control but Nietzsche wrote about the “eternal recurrence”. Now there’s one!

  20. From another blog that I enjoy, very, very much…

    “I would like to apologize for the way some politicians have been represented on this page. It was never my intention to imply politicians are weak-kneed time servers who are concerned more with their personal vendettas and personal power struggles than the government, nor to suggest at any point that they sacrifice their credibility by denying free debate on vital matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before the well being of the people they supposedly represent.

    Nor to imply at any stage that they are squabbling slimy toads, barren of integrity and without an ounce of concern for the vital social problems of today. Nor indeed do I intend that readers should consider them as crabby ulcerous self seeking vermin with forked tongues and excessive addictions’ to alcohol and certain explicit sexual practices which some might find offensive. – The Management “

  21. The Prime Dickspanker must be perplexed.
    Nobody told the two-bit actor that the wonderful, even heady script of his ascension into the Clouds Of Canadiana, also included his fatal flaw – pathological narcissism – and would lead to his downfall, that he’d be hated rather than adored by millions and that he could only gain honor by donning another costume, a kimono…and performing seppuku.
