I don’t think the PM looks like that any more.

[dasmo]

I wonder if they will wall off a perimeter for this?

They need to do a better job than the Italian PM meeting fiasco, also in Toronto.

Canada's prime minister says he frequently thinks about leaving his "crazy job" but plans to stay on through another election.

 

Justin Trudeau has faced growing questions about his political future, with polls suggesting he is increasingly unpopular among Canadians.

 

In an interview with broadcaster Radio-Canada, Mr Trudeau also spoke about personal sacrifices of his job.

 

Canada's next general election must be held by October 2025.

 

Opinion polling in recent months indicates that Canadians are feeling a growing dissatisfaction with his government, spurred by frustration with issues like housing affordability and the cost of living. The governing Liberals have been trailing behind the Conservatives, the main opposition, often by double digits.

 

Concerns that the "Trudeau brand" might be a drag on the Liberal party's fortunes has led to speculation in political circles that Mr Trudeau may be eyeing the exit, and even some allies have suggested it's time for him to leave.

 

But in a 24-minute interview released on Friday with the French-language broadcaster, Mr Trudeau said: "I could not be the man I am and abandon the fight at this point."

His arrogance and ego are limitless.

“The man I am.” The only thing greater than Justin’s towering intellect is his humility. Just ask him.

There’s an attack ad from the Liberals that was just released, featuring Poilievre's statement that a shack in Niagara, ON, sells for way more than a very nice family home in Niagara, NY. The add features a lady sitting on her porch, who lives in said shack, saying it’s not a shack. The ad calls it a “starter home for young people.”

The post is titled “he really doesn’t care.” Have a watch: https://x.com/justin...LNt72cvXf0yWpgg

Predictably, Twitter has not been kind in the comments.

The Twitter comments remind me of the comments that are on OAN.

And how do you explain that? Nothing to do with his and other's like him and their policies? They are just victims of "rising hate." Pre 2020 I don't remember ever seeing a F*CK TRUDEAU flag. Did they even exist? 

[Tony]

Maybe the X and OAN comment people are sheepies?

Response by the Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs Signed by (Minister or Parliamentary Secretary): JENNIFER O’CONNELL
 

As Canadians, we are blessed to live in a free and democratic country.
 

In 2021, we collectively exercised the democratic rights guaranteed to us by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canada Elections Act. In the 44th General Election since Confederation, a total of 17,209,811 Canadian citizens exercised their right to vote, and to freely choose from among 2,010 fellow citizens who put themselves forward as candidates. We should all take pride in the fact that Canadians continue to be so deeply engaged in our democratic process and its institutions.
 

Under our system of Parliamentary and responsible government, we continue to govern with the confidence of the House of Commons. We are accountable to Parliament and to Canadians, whether through Parliament proceedings, the scrutiny of the free press, and the many formal and informal ways in which Government and elected Members of Parliament engage with concerned citizens, organizations, and civil society every day.
 

We continue to work to make Canada a place where we can all thrive. Our agenda as a Government includes measures to make life more affordable for Canadians, whether through investing in child care and dental care, or by improving important benefits such as the Canada Child Benefit, Canada Pension Plan, OAS, and the Guaranteed Income Supplement. We are helping Canadians create new middle class jobs by tackling supply chain challenges, doubling the Tradespeople’s Tool Deduction, and promoting international trade to bring Canadian goods and services to the global marketplace. And we are protecting our environment for future generations by greening our electrical grid, electrifying our transport sector, and investing in the critical mineral sector that makes Canada a world leader.
 

The Government is proud of this record. We continue to work hard to retain the confidence of Parliament for the remainder of this term, and Canadian citizens will once again exercise their democratic rights in the 45th General Election.

...a total of 17,209,811 Canadian citizens exercised their right to vote...

The majority of whom did not vote for the Liberal Party.

[Mike K.]

My first thought, exactly.

What Canada wants, is an election.

[lanforod]

The NDP should be ashamed to continue giving the Liberals confidence.

"A price on pollution." is fine but that's not what we are talking about. This is a tax on the air that is based on computer modeling. "Pollution" can be measured objectively. Like say spraying Roundup in our forests. A substance that was recently re-approved for use in this country while others are banning it. https://phys.org/new...nd of this year.
