Landslide for Trudeau in Canada: Implications for Oz?

[sptrawler]

Not sure if Trump has accepted much guidance over the years.
With such a large ego, he is his own man, and in his last appearance as president managed to surround himself with yes men.
Good leaders accept counsel from others.
Great leaders accept counsel from those who are idealogicaly opposite.
Mick

Yes you don't see that trait anymore, now we have moved down the track of tribal politics, it has been a while since party members could have a conscience vote, or give any credit to the other side.
These days the mantra is criticise and denigrate first, ask questions later.

Looks like Justin Castro is going down in flames.

Some of you may know that I was born in Canada and remain a citizen according to current law, so maintain an interest in that country.

Castro in his tenure has utterly destroyed the fabric of Canadian society, taking it from a friendly moderate centre-left society society divided by radicalism and Marxist/postmodern ideology.

Pierre Pollievre(sp?) looks to be next in line once the elections happen next year, so it will be interesting to watch over the next few years whether Canada can recuperate from the woke sh1tshow it has become.

Looks like Trump is doing more to govern Canada than he is the US!!! And all he said was stop the drugs in the immigrants... Doesn't seem that hard to do to avoid 25% tariff... Just hire some more border guards. That'll keep Trump happy. But no - Trump appears to have blown up the Canadian government

It was already headed towards being a dumpster fire well before the demi-god was crowned by the boomers who worshipped at the alter of his father. I'm sure I've posted before - but I can recall working in Canada well over 20 years ago and people talking about Justin being PM... He wasn't even in politics at that point from memory.. This silver spoon brat had been conditioned from day 1 to think he was untouchable and destined to run the country. The question is: Will PP actually do anything to change the path of the country or will he just be a populist mouthpiece?

This poll is a month old, but I'm sure the next poll will be much worse. The conservative party won Monday's by-election with 66% of the vote... that's a pretty staggering defeat no matter where you are in the Western world for any election.

In response to growing concerns about border security, Canada has announced a new set of measures to strengthen its border with the United States, writes Digi24.

This move comes after President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods unless the country secures its border against illegal migration and drug trafficking.

Economists warn that such tariffs could severely impact Canada’s economy.

Canada’s government has pledged to invest 1.3 billion Canadian dollars (about $900 million) into this new border security plan.

Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs, Dominic LeBlanc, outlined the plan's details.

He emphasized that the goal is to curb the flow of illegal drugs and migration while ensuring the free movement of people and goods, which he sees as essential to North America's prosperity.

The plan consists of five key components. The first is to disrupt the fentanyl trade, which has contributed to the opioid crisis.

What's shocking is the Trudeau government admitted it's border was terrible and porous. If it was secured...would it need 1.3 billion?

I'll say it again. Trump doing a better job as governor than the current Canadian governor.

How he still has any support is beyond me. The people hate him not his party. Yet the cowards in his party still support him knowing they're going to be wiped out? Justin Bieber would get more votes.

The NDP hasn't helped their cause keeping this zombie ship afloat. Surprised they only lose 5 seats. Their leader says Trudeau has to go - but yet the NDP are the minority party keeping him in power. Canadians might be annoying and suffer from the woke disease - but they're not dumb. I suspect the NDP leader won't be leader for much longer either. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/con...cle_26a728c4-bd87-11ef-9e8a-df76a074a6f4.html

This kind of incoherence is no new thing for the NDP leader. For more than two months now he has clung to a baffling duality: demanding an end to the Liberal government while not actually ending the Liberal government

the only landslide for Trudeau these days is where he stands seems to have the support fall from under him and his party

2025 is looking up, at least for the Canucks. Pierre has some faults, but jeez he's got to be an improvement on Castro.

When people complain about how bad the electoral college is in the US.... All you need to do is look at how bad the Canadian system is... Trudeau has been in power for 10 years - gaining nearly 1/2 of all seats with less than a third of the votes in the past two elections and with fewer votes than the conservatives.

I'm actually stunned that Trudeau is not polling lower. It's the Canadian media that keeps that number high for him.

Interesting article that someone in the media has the guts to write about these days. Trump cops it from all sides when he appoints someone he knows... Yet Trudeau has filled the government with his mates and party for a decade and no one says a thing.

Albo was asked at a presser this am if this had any implications for Australia - ie, should you be worried, and all he could do was skirt it and say how much of a great friend Trudeau was to Australia and something about sharing firefighters, or something. The Progressives really should be worried. The pendulum has swung.

A postmortem on the Justin Castro legacy from one of my favourite (Canadian) academics.

To be sure, Prof Saad is not a conservative at all and identifies as an old fashioned liberal in the North American sense, so this is not a tribal, anti-liberal diatribe.

Unfortunately his replacement will be more of the same... A Carbon tax WEF asset or Russian studies journalist. Trudeau has enshrined the party with his selected people for a generation.

With all the political cartoons of Elon Musk and Trump I'm surprised there aren't political cartoons of Mark Carney and Trudeau... It is exactly the same situation. An independent unelected person supposedly having significant influence over an elected politician.

And the kings representative allowed him to suspend parliament and rule as a dictator until that time that his replacement is picked. Is this democracy or treason in action? The minority government without the support of any of the other parties and without the support of the people in the polls. No government no voting no bills no nothing for 3 months... Yep the population is going to love that. A tactic entity used to protect the liberal party not the country (as previous governments have used it as a political self interest tactic too). Government already being sued...

Two men file unprecedented legal challenge against Trudeau's request for prorogation

A legal advocacy group is spearheading the unprecedented challenge, asking a Federal Court to cancel the 'incorrect and unreasonable' demand

But this is the system the Canadians like. The system that makes them "better than America" if you ask the average seal basher. (The system that allows 30% of the population to govern 100% of the population)..... I've said it before and I'll say it again. Canadians deserve what they have. They keep voting for these people and they keep voting for these systems and they keep allowing this to happen.

Fair comment. However there is an upcoming election in which Pierre looks likely to win. The question is how ready is Canadian society as a whole ready for a change towards the near right?

To me it is actually quite hard to tell because Canadians seem to be at about as f****** stupid as Australians.. perhaps even more so.

Stupid? No. Horrifically idealistic and exceedingly naive? Yes.

A lot of Australians just don't care about politics and don't really care who they vote for. They just kind of flip-flop - I yeah I'm tired of this guy - oh yeah I'll give him a crack. More interested in AFL rugby cricket and my kitchen rules.

Canadians meanwhile live in The Matrix where every immigrant that comes to the country could be the next Einstein and cure cancer. Where every decision the government makes is obviously for the populations best interest. Where every criminal kept out of jail is a criminal successfully rehabilitated and sent back to the community a better person. Where everything the US does is wrong. Where everything the media tells you is right.

PP will get his first term and then the Canadians will wonder why housing hasn't dropped why unemployment hasn't dropped why the dollar hasn't improved. And of course they'll be faced with the problem of unwinding the freebies Trudeau gave out, and figuring out a way to even come close to balancing the books while cutting taxes. I just don't see how he can do it. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
