Watching Trudeau resigning right now.
Justin Trudeau has announced he is stepping down as Canadian Prime Minister and Federal Liberal Party Leader until a new successor is named.
Trudeau has also announced that Parliament has been prorogued until Monday March 24th.
In the last few weeks, he has spent many hours on the phone with Liberal MPs — seeking their advice and support for a run at the leadership of the federal Liberal Party, should that job come open in the coming days.
While Carney was unavailable for an interview Sunday, a source with knowledge of his activities said Carney has spoken to “dozens” of Liberal MPs over the Christmas break but declined to identify those MPs.
Maybe Dominic LeBlanc? He did go to meet with Trump.
We’ll see soon enough how this is going to play out!

As pleasant as that was to watch Trudeau fall on his sword, it would have been better for the Liberal Party if Trudeau had called an election ASAP and taken the inevitable loss but allowed a more relevant internal party leadership process instead of saddling the next leader with the electoral defeat at the start of his term.
Again I am reminded of Kim Campbell and Mulroney’s PC debacle in 1993.
Did you notice his teary eyes? I was surprised. But was it genuine?
I don’t know.
Carney and/or Freeland are the only two that could save the Liberals from oblivion. And I’m not sure on outcome for either of them.
“Again I am reminded of Kim Campbell and Mulroney’s PC debacle in 1993.”
I can vaguely recall that- Whatever happens it’s going to be interesting!
Btw: I don’t think much of Pierre P. He reminds me of Justin Trudeau, never been anything but a politician, but with less personality.
I don’t think much of politicians generally. I lean towards some of Pollievre’s stated internal stances, particularly energy policy, anti-woke agenda. spending limits and counter cronyism but he is a disaster on foreign policy. He seems to be a staunch zionist and he fully supports unlimited aid to the Zelensky regime and NATO adventurism. I anticipate his success in the coming election not through favoritism but solely on the basis of his long standing 20 point lead in the polls.
I’m afraid he will win.

“Pierre Poilievre on Tuesday doubled down on his call for Israel to pre-emptively strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, saying such an act would be “a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.”
And there’s the neocon mindset- a gift by the Jewish state to humanity
