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.

Trudeau holding talks with cabinet, party leaders about whether to step down
Several ministers push for PM to stay on, with insiders offering contrasting views of his position in the aftermath of Freeland’s exit
www.theglobeandmail.com
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.

Well, the Liberal Party is Canada, after all.

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...Trudeau holding talks with cabinet, party leaders about whether to step down

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)
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...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.
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)...
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.Trudeau holding talks with cabinet, party leaders about whether to step down

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.

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…

What happens when your party chooses- crowns actually- a leader on the merits of his last name only?

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

There are roughly 150 Lib MP's of which 45-50ish of them are currently in Cabinet or have already been in Cabinet and are not in it for a variety of reasons. For the remaining 2/3's, there would have been a number of reasons why they weren't chosen in the first place to be in Cabinet - incompetent, dumb as a bag of hammers, inability to speak both official languages (or even 1 of them.... effectively), not experienced enough, not 'loyal enough', etc, etc, etc - this is now the pool that Trudeau has decided to go fishing in for his Christmas carp.Trudeau holding talks with cabinet, party leaders about whether to step down

These will now be the ones leading Ministries responsible for delivering services/programmes to million of Canadians and ensuring the well-being of this country and its future going forward.

Just in time for Christmas... and a hostile takeover of the LPC 
A new book about Chrystia Freeland has just come out, after the publishing company sped up its release date by a few months, in light of the bombshell news its main character has made in recent days.
Titled, "Chrystia: From Peace River to Parliament Hill," the unauthorized biography was written by Toronto-based journalist Catherine Tsalikis and published by House of Anansi Press.
The book covers Freeland's childhood as a "Peace River kid," her time at Harvard, her Ukraine connection and two decades as a journalist, as well as her political ascent to two of the top jobs on Parliament Hill.
Based on more than 130 interviews with Freeland's relatives, friends and colleagues between 2021 and 2024, the generously flattering portrayal comes as a growing number of Liberals are looking to her as a potential leadership replacement for Justin Trudeau.
The author says she tried but ultimately did not speak with Freeland for the book, something that worked out fine, she told Chief News Anchor and Senior Editor of CTV National News Omar Sachedina in an interview.
