Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

If you want to make it so everyone doesn't suck up to the PMO's office, make the cabinet minister's job pay barely above just a sitting MP. Folks might start thinking about their ridings again instead of nodding 'yes' all the time hoping for 'dem big extra bucks.
 
This guy's been awfully quiet, too ....

Also, haven't listened to it yet (will over supper), but looks like the new FinMin's talking on a podcast ....
Caveat: host's a Team Red guy (former advisor to Martin, federal campaign co-chair for 2004 and 2006), but for the past several months, he's been quite pissed off at the current Team Red folks - coach included - for how they're handling things and running the party's legacy into the ground.
It was a good interview until the end when Dominic became pretty whiney when complaining about PP being mean.
 
I just want everyone to be employed on merit. Fuck the DEI bullshit.
DEI as a policy has turned out to be insidious. It’s a significant factor in people having turned away from the Democrats in November’s election. The same is likely to be true of the LPC regardless of whether Trudeau or someone else leads the party in the next Canadian election.

It’s behind the paywall. Bottom line seems to be that Trudeau doesn’t want to quit but at least for a while this week, initially didn’t see a way to continue. Seems he is reserving his final decision for early new year with several cabinet ministers having intervened to convince him to stay supported by Katie Telford only allowing access to Trudeau for those wanting to convince him to stay on.
 
Not sure if he's drunk or high. He's got a good buzz happening though. And at least one glaring narcissistic trait. Blaming someone else for those things you, yourself are responsible for.

His own MP's have resigned. Others have written letters encouragjng/demanding he step down. They just lost yet another by-election...

On Tuesday, we essentially had 4 new finance ministers (almost). 4.

That's gotta be some sort of record, even among 3rd world tinpot dictatorships


He truly is the narcissistic, delusional dictator so many have claimed him to be. They said he won't step down & someone is going to have to literally drag him out of office, and it looks like those people may have been right...

He knows what the polls say. He knows that whenever he's out in public, angry mobs form & follow. He knows what the by-elections say. He knows what the news says.

He knows his popularity isn't going to go up.

And he (should) know that if he simply said "I can see my vision forward isn't shared by a majority of the country, so therefore the only responsible thing to do is call an election..." it would be the ONE THING he's done in recent times that the general population very much wants.


...Yet there he is. Shuffling cabinet and carrying on, as if the raging forest fire burning around him is totally normal. (Dumpster fire seemed woefully inadequate)
 
A thinly detailed version of the PM’s itinerary is posted each day. Apparently today he was in the NCR and had a discussion with the PM of Israel. Presumably tomorrow he’ll be in town involved in the cabinet shuffle.

Must've been an awkward conversation given that he clearly stated, for the camera, just last week that he would arrest & turn over Netenyahu to the ICC...

Almost as awkward as shit talking Trump during the US election, then quickly flying down to have dinner with him when Trump won (and won by a margin Justin could never even fathom)...
 
Word from the new Finance Minister is Carney is out.
Thank f**k for that!! Hopefully he stays far, far away...

We think Freeland was awful, and very much a part of the plan to destroy the country? We think the corruption now is raging out of control?

Carney would be even worse... (hard to imagine, I know)

...


(Remember, within 48 hours of Carney being hired to lead the Economic Task Force - in which he was the only person on that task force - he managed to arrange a $2 billion loan of taxpayers money to his personal buddy who owns Telesat...

He also suggested we give him $10 billion taxpayer dollars for him to manage our pension fund for us.

That was just the first 48 hours.

Yikes...

That might help in some cases, but the cynic in me thinks more than a few want into cabinet for the power/access. They are on short leashes, but they do have power within their bailiwicks.

The bunker scenes from "Downfall" seem to be an adequate comparison. Knows he's cooked, but is still waiting on Steiner to counterattack.

I am not surprised that Katie Telford would be screening the messaging to the PM. Its good to see/hear that suspicion confirmed, and pulls back the curtain on her greatest travesty as his Chief of Staff. My bet is that this was SOP and helped keep her boss happy, while ignoring all the "bad news." Absolutely spineless behaviour.

It would be awesome if Trudeau and Telford turned on each other. It may happen given Trudeau's record

Why would that happen? Telford has absolutely nothing without Trudeau in power. She’s inextricably tied to him. He in turn is extremely dependent on her to help him keep a grip on the reins. There’s no advantage to be gained for either of them by fracturing.

The most open and accessible government in Canadian history. Riiiiiiiiight.

These two need to be turfed yesterday.

👍🏼

There’s a reasons the Laurentian Elite’s backroom calls them “T2.”

They’re a package, have been since Telford led Butts-Astravas-Clow from Queen’s Park as McGuinty-Wynne’s back room team up to Ottawa to run the Sunny Ways dream team…

He could easily give the best Christmas present ever to millions of Canadians if he just left politics today.
