I’m sympathetic to the nostalgic feelings some may have when looking back at Canadian history and pointing to today’s politics, but the childish arguments 19 years ago differ from today in that there are no economic arguments to support Justin Trudeau.
If you’re supporting Justin Trudeau or Jagmeet Singh, it’s 100% based on identity politics. I believe in freedom, justice, and liberty for all, so Canadians are within their rights to support whatever buffoon Prime Minister they choose, but we are in very different FINANCIAL and economic territories in 2024, and that’s all the two major Left Wing parties are banking on.
During the short Paul Martin era, those Liberals were trying to BAIL OUT the failures of Pierre Trudeau and rebrand themselves as fiscally responsible SOCIALISTS.
Because the Progressive Conservative experiment under Brian Mulroney was a complete failure, Jean Chretien was able to seize the opportunity to take back control of the narrative, which brought politics to the CENTRE.
Justin Trudeau as well as Jagmeet Singh represent IDENTITY politics, most people who support Liberals and the NDP, obviously care very little for the economy, and instead focus on the SOCIAL issues that appeal to them the most.
Jagemet Singh, looking out for his own pension, is enjoying the SILENCE coming from the dwindling NDP supporters. This shrinkage of support from the NDP benefits Jagmeet’s pursuit of receiving a government pension.
You have to remember that not all the NDP supporters are loyal; some joined, imagining the NDP would make their lives better now that more people are onto the con game being played by Justin Trudeau’s liberals as well as Singh’s NDP, both Left Wing Parties have now managed to have a firm base of supporters who vote for either party no matter what happens.
In regards to the house, the speaker (Greg Fergus) is a liberal, and I’m pretty sure it was insinuated to him that Justin Trudeau needs a BOOST. I highly doubt the Liberals told him exactly what to do, but they likely insinuated that the party is dying and something needs to be done about it.
Obviously, all Liberals in positions of influence are doing what they can to make sure Justin Trudeau’s brand isn’t destroyed because, in case people forgot, Paul Martin’s defeat led to a steep decline in the Liberals.
Justin Trudeau’s pot legislation revived the Liberals, and he has been POPULAR since. The potheads got what they wanted, and Justin Trudeau has been winning elections by SLIM margins ever since.
It could be argued that Trudeau’s victories are the result of WEAK Conservative candidates. Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre is seasoned and articulate, and he’s kept his message straight to the point.
Because all Trudeau has is the IDENTITY POLITICS crowd, Trudeau is left to defend his records, which he can’t do so Trudeau name calls, and name calling is TOUGH to listen to.
If you’re a hard-leftist, all you have to bank on with Justin Trudeau is the HOPE that he can LOOK or sound GOOD during ARGUMENTS. Paul Martin, who came across as “entitled” in certain instances, did have this “brattiness” about him, but you don’t get too many people complaining about the economy under his watch.
So, for myself, although I’d like to see Justin Trudeau gone, I see us living through a unique period in Canadian history, one that I think is necessary because Pierre Trudeau should have NEVER been imagined as some sort of hero. Thankfully, Justin Trudeau’s defeat will allow us to take an HONEST look back at Pierre Trudeau, which is all most historians want to do.
We don’t want to bash Pierre Trudeau; we just want to put him in proper context; although he was a hero to some, he was also a tyrant, and we have receipts. If a large chunk of Canadians identify with tyrants, that’s fine also, but his proper context needs to be established.
Jagmeet Singh and Jack Layton are two very different men; the NDP meant something under Jack Layton; the NDP is merely trying to usurp the Liberals as the official Left Wing Party in Canada under Jagmeet Singh as he’s destroyed their credibility as a Party that stands for something.
Majority — including two-in-five past Liberal voters — say Trudeau should step down | angusreid.org
Justin Trudeau is NOT popular; he’s governing like he has a majority because of Jagmeet Singh, who wants his pension to allow it. Jack Layton, in case people forget, DEFEATED the Liberals prior to dying; the polls for the 2025 election show that Justin Trudeau will beat Jagmeet Singh in the upcoming election if both runs.
So even at Justin’s worst, Jagmeet Singh couldn’t take voters away from him; why Jack Layton was able to beat the Liberals was because of what he did in 2005. If you forgot Jack Layton TOOK seats from the Liberals in the 2006 election, and that trend did not stop, until Tom Mulcair, and then Jagmeet Singh took over the party.
Tom Mulcair, tried to ATTACK Quebec Nationalism and Jagmeet Singh, has attempted to remake the NDP in his own image, these strategies have proven to be short-sighted, as they’ve ruined the party’s credibility by stepping outside of the NDP niche, and attempting to make the party identify with Left-Wing-POPULISM.
The Liberals under Justin Trudeau have NOBODY else; you have to remember that the Liberals are UNPOPULAR in Western Canada, the NDP flourished because of Pierre Trudeau.
This is what I mean when I say that Pierre Trudeau has to be put in proper context because he, similar to Justin Trudeau, was VERY divisive. We can commend both tyrants for their ability to rally the TYRANTS in Canada behind them, but apart from that, we need to have an honest look at the Trudeau’s.
Sorry, John Ivison, but Jagmeet Singh, under no circumstance, should be compared to Jack Layton. Jack Layton could have allowed the Paul Martin regime to last, but his CONSCIENCE wouldn’t allow him to do it because, unlike Jagmeet Singh, it was CLEAR to all of us that, at the very least, Jack Layton loved Canada.

I’m perfectly fine with Left-wingers having their voice in Canada, but when we’re talking about being a “LEADER,” Jagmeet Singh is not a LEADER; he’s an opportunist; he reminds us that politicians are nothing more than SLEAZY SALESMEN.
Selling out your country for a paycheck? Olivia Chow for example became mayor of Toronto, why? Of course Torontonians knew she’s a crazy far-left socialists, but she and Jack grew on everyone, people still associated Olivia Chow with quality. Same can’t be sad about Jagmeet, who still can’t gain any traction on Justin Trudeau, really let that sink in.
