Politics1990 Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 yea its been rumoured all day long. wasn't gonna vote for him in 2025 but he was not as bad a prime minister as is currently being portrayed in 30-40 years he will be looked back at in a better light. thanks for the first good 4 years justin (besides breaking the election reform promise ) and thanks for guiding country thru the pandemic . 2022-2024 is really where it went off the rails abit but it is what it is. 2 Quote

herbie Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 Anyone going to bet that first he'll go to the GG for a prorogue to buy the Party time before he makes an official announcement? By Tuesday at the latest. Quote

herbie Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 I just describer the smartest move he cold make. His detractors in this forum won't like it. He's supposed to leave his party in total disarray first or not resign to show us he is the stupid man they claim he is. Quote
Queenmandy85 Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 (edited) Canada338 now puts CPC at 236 seats with the Bloc in 2nd place at 45 and the Grits at 35. NDP with 25 seats. In other words, the CPC has a 201 seat lead over the Liberals. M. Blanchett is going to have the best job in Parliament, Leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition. It comes with a nicer house than the PM's too. Go easy on the Champaign my friends. If we had PR, Trudeau would once again lead a minority government with a coalition of Bloc, and NDP and Elizabeth May holding the balance of power.

ironstone Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 If he does resign, it will change things. To what extent we won't know for a while. The prospect of a new leader will be enticing for progressives even as they ignore the fact that the policies are unlikely to change. Lipstick on a pig. And if that resignation comes this week, then Canadians will probably have to wait until October.

Moonlight Graham Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 (edited) This is a glorious day for Canada. Shame on Canadian voters, the NDP, and fellow Liberal MP's for keeping this guy in power so long. Now we have to wait months for a Liberal leadership race, then an election cycle. Uhg. Will the Liberals prorogue to avoid a non-confidence vote? That's the question. I assume the NDP will likely use this resignation as an excuse to not bring down the government and maintain their legislative power. And will the electoral interference issue (and MP's allegedly involved) be cleared up before the next election? Democracy is at stake.

CdnFox Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 It's a long shot but part of me still thinks based on his narcissistic personality he'll just drop the gloves and go straight to an election. It would not surprise me if he still believes that he's doing better than he looks like he's doing in the polls. He might very well think that it's somehow possible if he rolls the dice to squeak out another minority And honestly I'm not sure that the GG will allow him to prorogue parliament long enough to hold a race, and given that they're going to need to vote on new spending somewhere in april when the gov't runs out of cash (and money votes are always confidence votes) even if a new leader is elected they will have to go straight into an election with zero time to prep. It cannot be overstressed how much work it is to get ready for an election. He'll probably going to step down but i'd put a 20 percent chance on 'calls an election to catch the other parties off guard' Quote

The prospect of a new leader will be enticing for progressives even as they ignore the fact that the policies are unlikely to change. Lipstick on a pig. And if that resignation comes this week, then Canadians will probably have to wait until October. The fact is, even after the appointment of Poilievre, the basic policies won't change, unless Pierre wants to be a one term Prime Minister. Being PM doesn't mean you can do anything you want. Everything you do has consequences. He will find he is confined to follow the advice of his senior public servants who have seen it all before and have a clear understanding of where the mines are buried. Not listening to the advice of the professionals is what destroyed Trudeau, first on SNC and finally on finance. He will replace the carbon tax with something worse, the debt will continue to climb because of the cost of Covid, and the American Administration is going to cause severe economic problems for us. The pressure to spend 2% of GDP on NATO will be met with indifference to down right resistance from the electorate. Human rights, - your rights,- (another name for "woke") will still be protected by the constitution. And the Poilievre government will have M. Blanchett as Leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition. While Trudeau and Poilievre are all flash and no bang, M. Blanchett will bring a whole new experience to Mr.s Poilievre's life. He will soon be missing those care free days in opposition when nothing you do or say has consequences. Quote Socialism is the opiate of the intellectual class.

Queenmandy85 Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 People defer to Mr.Poilievre's false claim to be a Conservative. I have yet to hear him utter a single thing that expresses core Conserative values. 1 1 Quote Socialism is the opiate of the intellectual class.

That is a pretty broad statement without foundation. The team he assembled to fight the worst crisis Canada has faced since 1945 had extraordinary positive results. The economic difficulties we faced as a result, pale in comparison to the mitigation of the potential death toll had the governments not responded as they did.
