BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resigned.

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Just to be clear, the recommendations were recommended.
And the other recommendations were also recommended?

Understood.

Yes, they are all recommendations.
Except for federal workers, the rest were not mandated to get the vaccine. Some did not.
The recommendation was to get a minimum 2 doses with optional boosters per your discretion.
What is so difficult about this to understand?

I also think PP is going to be terrible. But there is no one I can think of in the Liberal caucus that will get me to vote for them.

I wonder what everyone that made their entire personality just how much they hate Trudeau are going to do now.

Francois Philippe-Champagne. Probably the most boring minister but the most efficient and intelligent. But he will never make it as we are in a era where the loud mouth alpha type and uncultured piece of shit are viewed as strong leaders

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

He has resigned, but he'll still be Prime Minister for the next 3 months

Prime Minister for the next 3 months

At least it's a step in right direction but he really should have left office entirely. Sadly the voices in his head won't allow for that.

 

[Butler1000]

Yep. But who you guys will blame for all the future policies that will go to shit in Canada in the future?

Pierre. If they happen. But until they do and have a serious detrimental effect the point is moot.

I hope that when elected Poilievre freezes Trudeau's bank account

LMFAO!!! Best comment of the day!

Made people not want to buy gas guzzlers, increased support for heat pumps and influenced businesses to change.
And no inflation.

Every country calculates their inflation rate differently. We know that Canada's calculation of the CPI is flawed and really cannot be trusted. Its been understating inflation for a number of years. All that being said you'd have to be ignorant of economics if you think that the carbon taxes haven't contributed to inflation.

I don't. It was wrong when he did it and would be wrong now.

Trudeau is going to get the worst punishment. He will be mocked, lose all credibility. There won't be the grand statesman invites to international events, or the unlimited speaking engagements. He will be a symbol of catcalls and insults, forever to be a public shame.

His own party will quietly disown him, his wife and family have left him, his allies are deserting him, no one will take his calls. He will have to stump around a few months, slumped of figure, the press not caring what he thinks much, and then fade out.

That's it, and we will move on.

All good points but he definitely still deserves to have his accounts frozen. Experience is the best teacher in life and if he thinks it's ok to do it he should think it's ok to have done to him in return.

at this point I don't really care what is right or wrong when it comes to dealing with Trudeau

I think that he should be arrested and charged with multiple crimes against Canada

I couldn't possibly agree with you more. He should be hanged for high treason as far as I'm concerned. Imagine all of the stuff he's done that we don't even know about because he's used his power to conceal them. I mean, even look at his sexual assault incident. You can't even find a fiber of proof that it even happened other than word of mouth. It's been entirely scrubbed from the internet. This guy is way fucking slimier than we even know or can prove. He's the fucking devil as far as I'm concerned.

In themselves, new taxes are of course inflationary. However, it's just a one-time bump. It does not add anything to the on-going rate of inflation.

If we really wanted to get all academic, at a macro level we could discuss taxation and aggregate spending and its impact on inflation.

I myself would actually prefer carbon taxes over massive government green energy subsidies and investments.

he is a slime ball of the highest order

I also do not agree with @Butler1000 that Trudeau will be ostracized from global politics

he has done very well for his owners and he will be reworded for that job he did

maybe $20 mil for a book that nobody will ready or speaking engagements with crowds of dimwitted liberals

 

[southpaw]

Let me clarify.

Thanks. So you're just like the majority of Canadians.

 

[WyattEarp]

Rather than rely on stated political beliefs, you want to spin it to assert that because someone voted for a party, they must automatically believe in everything the party advocates for.
Basically you have decided what someones political beliefs are, rather than believe their reasons for voting whichever way they do.
Mental gymnastics.

I would generally concur, but even given openings to discuss what policies aren't working many are taking a pass and just making it about Trudeau the politician. So much for sticking to convictions.

I'm guessing the new Liberal leader will be a new face with the same policies. Regardless of what they may say, many here will still vote for the Liberals. Of course, that's their prerogative. Just spare us, all the hand wringing over Trudeau.

As far as political parties, they are always made up of coalitions and compromises. We all have to make our peace with the party we support and all of its supporters. Regardless, we don't have to agree with everything.

Hard to say how it will play out but he definitely seemed to be serving a higher power. I'll buy his book to use as toilet paper and as far as speaking engagements I'm sure I'm not the only one that finds him nauseating to listen to. I fucking cringe when I hear his voice.

You have to have proof it did increase inflation but unfortunately there is none.

It is perfectly acceptable to consider conservative policies as horrible and still vote for them.
Liberals like me are not voting conservative this time because we love conservative policies.
Policy wise we consider conservative ideals horrible.
We are voting conservatives because it is time for a change after a decade of liberal rule.

Would you say the same for Nazis? You're a closeted conservative. Lot of those around.

........many are taking a pass and just making it about Trudeau the politician. So much for sticking to convictions......Just spare us, all the hand wringing over Trudeau.

Conservatives in Canada are not as rabidly far right as the ones in the US.
So our political convictions aren't so violated if we vote for Pierre. Its more like a compromise.
So there is nothing inherently hypocritical if a Liberal votes for Pierre against Trudeau.
