Canada's embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hasn't been kicked out quite yet, but he's been handed his hat and shown the door. All that remains is for one of his coalition partners to swing the ax to end the political career of one of the strangest leaders in Canada's history.
Trudeau's mother Margaret was a flower child of the 1960s and a radical activist. She had a brief fling with Mike Jagger of the Rolling Stones, who said of her, "Margaret was a 'very sick girl in search of something. She found it – but not with me.'" Pierre Trudeau, Justin's father, served as prime minister from 1968-79 and from 1980-84.
Justin inherited his mother's love of causes and his father's limitless ambition. The result has been a scandal-plagued three terms as prime minister.
Trudeau came to power in 2015, during the age of Obama. And like the Americans, he tried to bring "hope and change" to Canada. He claimed to be a feminist, an environmentalist, a refugee and an Indigenous rights advocate. The reality was, that he was just a pretty face that the world media fawned over from day one.
Now, after nine years, it appears that his luck has run its course, and many MPs in his own party are now urging his exit. His coalition government is teetering and is set to fall when the House of Commons returns from its winter break on Jan. 27. At that time, a key member of Trudeau's governing coalition, the leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), Jagmeet Singh, promised to introduce a "no confidence" motion that political observers say is certain to pass.

Please, make sure he takes his eyebrows with him when he leaves.
