Governments tell you they are taxing "carbon", so you'll picture something like charcoal or ash.
This is purely to fool you.
In reality, they are taxing CO2 which is NOT pollution and is an essential trace gas that allows plants to grow. CO2 is only 0.04% of the atmosphere.
CO2 is also NOT a "temperature control knob" for the Earth's atmosphere. That is a complete lie. The chart below illustrates the idiocy of the "temperature control knob" fantasy. 👇
“Trudeau is the mascot for everything that’s wrong in the world today.” Wonder why he’s getting the cold shoulder in India at the G20. Would the 20 agree with this statement???
In a jaw-dropping turn of events that would make even the most seasoned political analysts sit up and take notice, Justin Trudeau is finding himself in a position that’s, frankly, a long time coming. Let's not mince words here; this could be the Waterloo moment for Trudeau's political career, and it's about time. Why? Because the numbers are speaking louder than any of Trudeau's rehearsed talking points or Instagram-ready moments.
What's truly astonishing is the resurgence of the Conservative Party. Led by Pierre Poilievre, a man who makes no bones about his skepticism of Trudeau's leadership—or lack thereof—the Conservatives are now firmly in majority territory. A feat not seen since the SNC-Lavalin affair of 2019. And guess what? These aren't some fringe polls; we're talking about reliable data from Pallas Data, Abacus Data, and Mainstreet Research. Each one of them shows the Conservatives pulling ahead by 9 to 13 points. It's as if the country woke up and smelled the maple syrup, realizing the sticky mess Trudeau's gotten us into.
What's happening here? Why are the Conservatives managing to gain ground in Atlantic Canada and Ontario? Could it be that Canadians are finally fed up with years of soaring rhetoric that never really lands? It looks like Trudeau's star is finally falling, and in its place, the Conservatives are shining brighter, reaching places that have historically been Liberal strongholds.
And what about Trudeau himself? Let's look at the data. According to Abacus, 56% of Canadians think he should step aside, and just 27% want him to run again. But hold on, it gets better—or worse, if you're Trudeau. Even among those who voted for him in 2019, 28% are saying it's time for him to pack his bags. Now, don't get me wrong, Trudeau's been a crafty campaigner. He's turned many an election in the 11th hour. But there's something in the air this time; it's as if Canadians are finally saying, "Enough is enough."
Alright, let's unpack this for a moment: Since swaggering into the political arena, Justin Trudeau has managed, with a mix of charm and strategic media appearances, to keep the Liberal ship on a steady course. The captain of his ship, and no doubt the star of his own show. But every show has its finale, and as the curtain starts to close on the Trudeau era, who's waiting backstage?
Enter Chrystia Freeland? Now, no offense to Ms. Freeland, but to many Canadians, she seems like a dollar-store version of Hillary Clinton. She's got the political lingo down, but none of the charisma. If the Liberals think she's their ace in the hole, they might want to reconsider their hand.
And speaking of reconsidering, there's Anita Anand. The Liberals have been working overtime, trying to paint her as the fiscal wonder woman, ready to rescue their sinking budgetary ship. But here's a dose of reality: Her husband's seemingly miraculous business boom with government contracts post her election might be, to put it mildly, a PR nightmare. Canadians pinching pennies during COVID don't take too kindly to those who seemed to cash in.
Now, remember Bill Morneau? Trudeau's one-time financial whiz who was thrust under the bus during the WE Charity fiasco? His name's been whispered in some quarters as a potential Trudeau replacement. But come on, his reputation's taken more hits than a hockey puck at a playoff game.
Mark Carney's name does keep popping up. And sure, he's smart, but the transition from central banking to charismatic leader? It's like asking a librarian to lead a rock concert.
What it comes down to is this: The Liberal talent pool is looking more like a kiddie splash pad. Trudeau, love him or loathe him, held that party together. Now that he's seemingly on the outs with the public, one has to wonder: Do the Liberals have anyone in the wings who can genuinely take the spotlight? Less then 20 months to next election?
Let's be crystal clear: the Liberal Party is at a significant crossroads, they don't have the luxury of time on their side. If this trend continues, we might have to bid farewell to the Trudeau era for good. And what will be left then? A legacy of broken promises, questionable ethics, and a talent for dividing rather than uniting the nation.
Canada, this great nation built on the principles of freedom, democracy, and hard work, deserves leadership that honors those values. And Justin Trudeau? He's been more of a cautionary tale than a leader. A man born into privilege, who never had to understand what it means to truly struggle, wants to steer the ship? It's as if we handed the keys to the family car to a teenager.
You see, Canada isn't just some plaything for trust fund politicians to parade around in selfies and photo ops. Canada's own 'Man of the People'—or so he'd like you to believe. Just look at those photo-ops, rolling up his sleeves like he's about to dig a ditch or fix a car engine. Please! This is a guy who's probably never changed a tire in his life.
You know, when Barack Obama rolled up his sleeves, we at least believed he knew what work was. Trudeau? His idea of hard work is probably choosing which flavor of gelato to have after a hard day of, what, photo shoots and scripted platitudes in P.E.I?
Let's not mince words: Justin Trudeau is an actor playing a role. Only the role isn't Prime Minister; it's a caricature of what he thinks a blue-collar Canadian is. And let me tell you, he's not winning any Oscars for that performance. He's like a teenager wearing a costume at a party, desperately hoping he'll fit in. Except the party is a country, and the costume is, well, leadership.
You've got to wonder, who's he trying to fool? Because real Canadians—the ones working 9 to 5s, struggling with rising costs, and yes, actually rolling up their sleeves for work—they're not buying what he's selling.
As we stare down the barrel of 2025, there's a sense of real optimism. Not the fake, airbrushed kind Trudeau likes to peddle, but the kind that comes from the promise of genuine, honest governance. Trudeau's departure might not just be good; it might be rejuvenating for a country tired of the same old script.
So, if the man of a thousand photo-ops wants to make his exit, let him. Canada deserves better. It deserves a leader who understands the meaning of hard work without needing a photo to prove it. And when that day comes—and I firmly believe it will—I'll be here, calling it like I see it, as Canada turns the page on this awkward chapter of its history.
The countdown to 2025 is on, and it's about time we bring down the curtain on the Trudeau drama. There's a standing ovation waiting, but it's not for him. It's for the end of an era of disingenuous, out-of-touch leadership. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is something to look forward to.
