HIghlights: Trudeau needs to be told what he clearly doesn’t understand, that his sunny days have sunset, that his dismal poll numbers will not suddenly rebound and that there’s a low probability he will win re-election despite facing a hard-to-like opponent in Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. But the cabinet shuffle was a bust as a revitalization project. It left weak ministers like Bill Blair and Harjit Sajjan in over-their-head portfolios, a newcomer lineup filled with virtue signalling over merit, and fed-up backbenchers primed to stir up trouble if the party’s downward spiral continues. He let his spin doctors whisper to the media that [HOUSING] would be his cabinet retreat’s top-priority consideration, allowed his new housing minister to float a trial balloon about limiting international student numbers to ease the squeeze and then announced . . . NOTHING. Meanwhile we’re the laughing stock of the G7 on military readiness, we’ve got social media giants blacking out emergency domestic news and a government continuing to boost immigration while washing its hands of the fallout on cities, housing and social services. The resulting leadership-driven meltdown is happening faster than even the most giddy Conservative could’ve predicted. Given the year it takes to plan a leadership convention and another six months for the next leader to gel with voters, now is the right time to signal change at the top for a 2025 election. That’s why someone needs to quickly point out there’s an easy choice for Trudeau between probable electoral rejection and voluntarily jumping into his father’s 1960 Mercedes 300SL convertible and driving off to retirement on corporate boards, the speaker circuit and dating websites.

CdnFox Posted September 1, 2023 Author Report Posted September 1, 2023 ANOTHER one - and this one is brutal. If you read the whole thing every line is a slam against trudeau. I love the last line about how he should retire to corporate boards and dating sites. Like - damn. I hope he stays. I would love to see PP grind him to dust. Or that he just decides to go to the polls mid 2024 and get it over with and take the ndp with him. The thing is - the libs are thinking two things right now - their problems will end if justin retires, and the ndp will keep the coalition with the new person till the next election date to give them time to get ready. I'm not sure either is true. Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
