THE PRIME MINISTER WAS IN NEW YORK CITY, this week, auditioning for his next gig.
Making the rounds on legacy media, Justin Trudeau, by turns, was charming (as much as charm permits in an increasingly illiberal world) and squeamishly woke (even though the trend has peaked according to The Economist).
Yes — the world has moved past Trudeau (the younger) and his vision for Canada in 2015; a declaration for a new kind of Canada that wasn’t Canada anymore but something even the New York Times Magazine and The Guardian found perplexing. We caught the drift of what the prime minister was going on about nine years ago. We wrote an op-ed way back when, an opinion piece that created a howl at the CBC in 2018. Give it a read.
And so here we are in 2024: a Canada that’s very different from when Justin Trudeau took office with his promise of “sunny ways”.
How’d that turn out?
We’ve tolerated Justin Trudeau’s odd notions about our country, the world, and our identity as Canadians. And we’ve paid a huge price for that tolerance. To the point that, in 2024, we have a separatist political party, the Bloc Quebecois, directing the show in Ottawa—exploiting the will of Canadians to secure the interests of Quebeckers. And there’s no shame in their saying so.
That’s how far we’ve come off the rails in this country.
Justin Trudeau, hmmmm.
Will somebody — anybody — please give this man a new job… pretty please.

Perhaps you could find a Conservative willing to put Polievre back in the garbage can where he belongs?
Can you please tell me when is the last time Federal Liberals won a majority (Ont.-B.C.).I even know a Quebec premier stating “the West has more reason to separate than Quebec.
1000% Donna. Thanks for your wisdom. Care for a fall coffee on my deck next week? Lots of governance, Indigenous and strategy updates. Text me!
Interesting analysis of the vacuous PM and his future. While I agree that he must go, I pity anybody or organization that would give him another job. He is poison and the Liberal ideas of the current elite will slowly disappear, as people around the world realize that climate change. for example, exists but will not be improve by taxing the hell out of its citizens. Climate is only one issue , but there many other problems that he will carry with him.
