(Asian independent) I feel like a mosquito in a nudist colony; I’m uncertain about how to proceed. Trudeau places greater emphasis on his public persona than on fulfilling his responsibilities. He is excessively hypocritical to even think about resigning.
On Monday, Fraser’s resignation announcement was still unfolding when news channels were filled with breaking that Chrystia Freeland, Finance Minister, has stepped down from her position, citing differences with PM Trudeau regarding the approach to incoming President Donald Trump’s tariff threats.
Freeland, a former journalist, who won her first election to Parliament in 2013. Became a member of Trudeau’s cabinet two years later when the Liberals achieved a sweeping victory, taking on significant roles such as trade and foreign minister and spearheading free trade negotiations with the EU and the United States.
The latest resignations signal that the Canadian Ministry, which consists of Crown Ministers who are also Members of Parliament, is losing faith in Trudeau’s leadership.
Freeland’s letter to Trudeau stands out as the most commendable action she has taken. Both women, like Solicitor General Jody Wilson-Raybould, disregarded common sense and their legal obligations to Canadians.
In fact, Canadians are weary with Trudeau’s “shoddy leadership.” He portrays himself as a feminist, yet his sincerity is open to doubt. He portrays himself as an environmentalist, yet his actions indicate a different reality. He often acts on impulse. He tends to elevate his voice toward others when situations do not unfold as he desires. Women in parliament have raised accusations concerning his purported outbursts aimed at them.
Chrystia Freeland’s letter highlights the severity of his abusive behaviour.
It would be much more appropriate for the letter to originate from Trudeau to the Governor General, resigning from his inadequate position as Prime Minister.
Conversely, Fraser’s resignation highlights a notable connection between Trudeau’s migration policies and the negative effects on the Canadian housing market. The arrival of new migrants has created a demand for housing that is presently lacking. Long-standing Canadians are facing the repercussions, as their lenders are requiring increased monthly payments and lengthening amortization periods—and there is a threshold to how much this can rise.
The present condition of new housing highlights a notable deficiency in affordability, especially in major metropolitan areas like the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and Vancouver, as well as the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.
People are currently comparing Trudeau to Adolf Hitler in the latter stages of World War II. Everything is falling apart around him, yet he clings to denial about the reality, or maybe he hasn’t completely exhausted Canada’s resources yet.
He does not demonstrate intelligence. When confronted with questions for which he has no prepared response, he finds himself grappling with his words and is unable to articulate clear answers. He claims that lower-middle-class Canadians do not have to pay taxes. He employs his rehearsed replies even when they are not coherent. His experience seems limited to teaching drama, where he excels at memorizing lines but struggles to express ideas beyond them.
He may not possess a deep understanding of economics, but he is capable of memorizing lines about the topic that resonate with 39% of Canadian voters. Trudeau seems to either misunderstand economics or be willing to distort its causes for the sake of electoral advantage.
He struggles to manage the budget effectively. The current deficit spending stands at $61.9 billion.
Absolutely! Now, Jagmeet Singh has made a more emphatic declaration that Trudeau must resign.
Ultimately, the issue lies with Trudeau himself. He seems to inhabit a different reality where he can deceive, manipulate, and mislead Canadians without facing any repercussions.
He really ought to have resigned following the last election when he secured his second minority. Even after St-Paul’s, a constituency they have securely maintained for more than 30 years, fell to Conservative Don Stewart.
Following last night’s Liberal Christmas party and Trudeau’s speech, it seems unlikely that he will ever step down. Nonetheless, I believe his ego will prevent him from stepping down. It seems that his own party may ultimately be the one to force him out.
