      Let us not kid ourselves. Any party in power, in a similar situation, would have done the same thing. We just push through until election time.

      Well I’m glad our suffering is a sacrifice the liberal party is willing to make

      No. 

      The only people who think so are the ones who don’t understand how our government works and think we have the same system as Americans.

      He and the NDP stalled this so people could get their pensions. 

      And he’s super selfish because now as Trump comes in with his tariff threats our government is shut down. Fuck you Trudeau. You piece of shit.

      The prorogation is entirely self serving to the Liberal Party. Buying time in hopes that Poilievre will slip up in some catastrophic way.

      The act itself of shutting down Parliament will likely negate any potential gains if a new leader. It’s a Hail Mary and the likely result is an even worse showing for the LPC compared to having an election now.

      The wild card will be the foreign interference report at the end of the month.

      I mean, he has never done anything for someone other than himself as PM, so this is an improvement. A shame it’s so bad for the country and everyone in it.

      Of course he is. It’s always been him first. Then his party. Then other things. Then eventually Canada.

      Forget First past the post, can we just flog the Liberals with the post now? Those that voted for these Liberals…not even us, but our children will be paying for this mistake for a lonnnnng time.

      Absolutely.

      Our system allows political parties to put their fortunes ahead of the good of the Country and that is exactly what is occurring here.

      Trudeau could have resigned, and the Liberal leadership question could have been addressed months ago except forTrudeau’s hubris .

      Now, at this critical moment, Canada has a lame duck political pariah for a leader with no legitimate mandate dealing with foreign issues, in particular Trump or manage the relationship with the Provinces.

      His grandiose speech where he described himself as a fighter and a lover of all things Canadian rings very hollow when one looks at his actions anf the position in which he has placed in the country.

      Conservatives: Trudeau must step down!
      Also Conservatives: How dare Trudeau step down!
      🙄

      There will be nobody at the helm when Trump slaps his tariffs. Brilliant!

    14. Dadbodsarereal on

      So you condemn the guy so hard but then he leaves and your like how dare you

      Ya’ll seem to forget this is just how it goes in Canada. Politicians last about 10 years. They start of well liked and then slowly drop in approval ratings until they lose, often to a majority from the other side. The same thing happens in most of the world and the way some countries have cut this loop is term limits. 8 years and people are starting to get tired of you. 10 years they fucking hate you. Maybe its time to look at that trend and consider amendments to party leadership.

      “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”

      Hopefully his stepping down prevents a super majority or something of that sort. Majority governments are not the best government as people should have checks and balances.

      Yes he’s hurt Canada and hurting it further by dragging this all out.
