Globe and Mail- Maybe Canadians were the problem, not Trudeau
h/t Joe
How Do We Loathe Him?
[Trudeau’s] declaration that Canada has no core identity and is a “post-national” state was the catalyst for a steady decline in the pride of being Canadian.
The white-hot anger now being directed towards the prime minister is the result of a cultural backlash from people who feel like they have become strangers in their own land, abandoned by progressive values and policies they don’t share or understand.
And somehow manages to avoid the words “Chinese” and “corruption”.
The Era of the Drama Queen PM
Here’s a video of Trudeau from years ago. Don’t focus on the fact that he’s a hypocrite; politicians change their views all of the time. Instead, focus on his delivery. Is his “performance” in the House of Commons really much different than a Grade 12 student at a school play?

“What I can tell you is everything is on the table,” said Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly when asked specifically whether the government is prepared to cut off energy exports to the U.S. if Donald Trump imposes his promised tariffs.
See what happens.

National Post- No, Trudeau did not make Canada richer
These figures are useless, though, because they aren’t adjusted for inflation or population growth — and addressing these factors is essential to credible economic analysis.
It’s Probably Nothing
A reader in the trucking industry, via email;
my phone is ringing because everyone wants to get their loads to the US by Jan 17th before Trump tariffs. Our parliament is prorogued for another 2 and a half months. This is a crisis. We won’t be shipping anything south after the 17th and our industries can’t wait for Trudeau.
To Prorogue, Or Not To Prorogue
That is the legal question. What are the acceptable parameters and limits to proroguing parliament? When is it okay to do so. When is it not.

“The decision is incorrect, unreasonable or both on the following grounds: In all of the particular circumstances surrounding it, the decision has the effect of frustrating or preventing without reasonable justification the ability of Parliament to carry out its constitutional functions,” lawyers wrote the Court.

That people don't recognize that Trump is putting pressure on Trudeau's leisurely resignation timeline is kind of funny.

Robert Graboyes sees that and more;
In several social media posts, President-elect Trump referred to “the Great State of Canada” (or “the 51st state”) and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau. It’s a nonsensical idea, and I suspect Trump knows it’s a nonsensical idea. The president-elect likely raised the idea for four reasons:
• To give the nettlesome prime minister a diplomatic swirly. If doing so contributed to Trudeau’s downfall, then Trump’s trolling constituted a Worthwhile Canadian Initiative.
• To distract the legacy media, for whom the absurdity of annexing Canada is an irresistible shiny, rotating object. If they’re focused on Canada, journalists lack sufficient bandwidth and attention span to focus, as well, on Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, or Tulsi Gabbard.
•To intimidate and disorient Canadian authorities prior to tariff negotiations. These functionaries haven’t sufficient bandwidth or attention span to deal with tariff minutiae while journalists badger them about Trump’s irredentist impulses.
•Because he can.

The Real Justin Trudeau Exposed
This should be a MUST WATCH for all Canadians: Unlike the Canadian media sycophants, who haven’t dared say a cross word against Trudeau, Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn mock Justin Trudeau incessantly for over 30 minutes and extend it to all other phony liberals across the Great White North.
Fun fact: Kirn was once married to Maggie McGuane, the daughter of Margot Kidder. As Kirn explains, Ms. McGuane once lived with Pierre & Justin Trudeau in the prime minister’s residence, while her mom dated the elder Trudeau.

Legal Limbo?
Now that Parliament is prorogued, any bill that was in the process of being passed during that session officially dies. That should include the proposed changes to capital gains tax legislation. Nonetheless, I’m receiving mixed messages about that, since it’s my understanding that the Canada Revenue Agency has been acting as if the measures were already law. I’m curious as to what SDA readers been hearing from their accountants.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s move to step down and prorogue parliament has killed a series of changes his government proposed to capital gains.

Uh oh. The Trudeau announcement has a media Q&A.
That leans toward staying.

GG has been asked to prorogue House until late March. (Gives House enough time to pass Supply Bill & ensure that govt doesn’t run out of money before April 1).
