The atmosphere is loud, rowdy, and full of flair as the politician campaigns

(Asian independent)   It occurred during our Easter celebration. Pope Francis, who was the first non-European pontiff in nearly 1,300 years, passed away on Easter Monday at the age of 88.

This is the time when Christianity around the world remembers the Passion of the Lord Jesus Christ, his crucifixion, and his victorious resurrection.
Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judea under King Tiberius, the second Roman emperor, tried Jesus Christ. He was crucified following the trial. He came to redeem the world, ensuring that those who live virtuously can have eternal life after death. This message of redemption is just as powerful today as it was 2,000 years ago during Jesus’ crucifixion.
Canada is in the midst of a federal election, while President Donald Trump is attempting to take over our beautiful country and make it the 51st state of America.
Canada urgently needs Jesus to return and save our country, our nation, and our people from Trump and our political leaders who play games.
While, Canada seems like a constant political stage, featuring changing characters, shifting alliances, repeated promises, and endless chatter. Amid all this drama, there’s a growing sense of optimism, fueled by the People’s Loyal Opposition and the broad-based government formation with strategic appointments that resonate across political and professional divides.
Indeed! an experienced political leader is needed to address the cartels, while professionals in high positions remain optimistic about having a capable and practical figure to tackle the ongoing crises affecting the Canadian economy, housing, jobs, and immigration issues.
With the election approaching, the new prime minister will soon take over under fresh leadership. As the saying goes, you won’t know until you try it. We await the outcome of whether this optimism leads to genuine reform. In true Canadian style, while the politician appears to settle, the campaign trail stays vibrant, loud, and dramatic. The Canadians have mixed reactions and a lacklustre response. Critics noted the absence of seriousness, with leaders blaming one another and vying to show they are the best to lead the next government.
 Is this how a future PM makes a comeback? The staging was shallow, and the visuals didn’t inspire a public weary of repetitive political theatrics.
The so-called “People’s Loyal Opposition” persists in its campaign, swinging between reckless, often unfounded, assaults on the regime and a hollow repetition of complaints. Some attacks on the PM lack taste, undermining the decorum needed for credibility. PM Carney sometimes gives the opposition easy material with his dramatic and controversial statements, making him a prime target for satire. He even told Pierre Poilievre at the English debate that he’s not Trudeau; his policies and vision for growing Canada are different.
Absolutely! The irony of Poilievre’s attacks comes from his past as a staunch defender of the very system he now criticizes, revealing a thin moral authority that he seems to overlook. When someone begins to express dissatisfaction and voice complaints, the public swiftly perceives the resentment. Attacking a regime you once represented is a risky political move. It feels light and shows a lack of deep thinking.
This reminds me of Donald Trump’s story. As the 2024 US elections approach, he encountered heavy criticism from over 24 former aides and allies, including his ex-vice president, Mike Pence, and White House chief of staff, Gen. John Kelly. The attacks were harsh and eye-catching, but ultimately, they had minimal effect. Trump won once more. Why is that? The American people had already decided. They viewed many critiques as frustrated rants from people who used to be part of the very decay they now condemned. I like Trump’s responses to most of them. “I fired him; he was completely incompetent,” was a line he often repeated.
A similar situation is unfolding in Canada. The electorate is growing disillusioned but remains steadfast. Even though Trudeau has left the party, yet Poilievre continues to sing the same tune about Trudeau’s carbon tax, shouting from rooftops. Following his expulsion from the House for disparaging PM Trudeau, he unexpectedly found his voice. Building a movement on bitterness and contradiction is challenging, especially as his political attacks lose their substance.
On the other hand, as soon as Mark Carney became PM, the Liberal Party gained traction, and a broad-based government began to form. It is changing political views and is set to transform the political landscape after 2021.
A clear effort appears to be underway to quiet the political clash between Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre, shifting the focus back to governance.
If they listen and address issues like Trump tariffs, the Canadian economy, health care, housing, overcrowded immigration, crime, and inflation, they could bring about a new political era into Canadian system that was lost while Trudeau was PM of its nation.
