Canada's political chaos: No leadership, no direction, just a looming trade war
Rebel News (Canada) ^ | 23 January 2025 | Tamara Ugolini

Posted on 02/02/2025 3:31:42 AM PST by Candor7

With federal Parliament paralyzed and a lame-duck Prime Minister Trudeau biding his time until his successor takes the reins, tensions are boiling over as Canada plunges toward economic chaos.

Canada is in the midst of a political dumpster fire, and instead of looking better, things are looking increasingly chaotic. The country is without federal leadership, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government paralyzed and Parliament prorogued earlier this month amid dwindling approval ratings.

With no government in action, Canadians are left in a state of turmoil — while the Trudeau Liberals focus on a leadership campaign rather than addressing the looming challenges the nation faces.

Instead of leading the country through a likely trade war, the Liberals are preoccupied with succession planning, as the prime minister prepares to step aside. While global tensions rise and critical decisions loom, the Liberals are more concerned with who will take over the top job than with doing what’s truly best for ‘Team Canada.’

Meanwhile, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is preparing for a snap election of his own, but his motivations seem more focused on political survival than on resolving the issues at hand.

Ford has been escalating trade tensions with U.S. President Trump, who is set to impose 25% tariffs on all Canadian exports beginning February 1st. Ford has called for a "dollar for dollar" retaliatory tariff on U.S. goods, but this approach has faced resistance from other provinces, especially Alberta, which holds significant leverage through its vast oil and gas resources.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is the only premier who has distanced from the so-called "Team Canada" approach, refusing to back trade war counter-tariff threats. This has resulted in a fractured leadership landscape, with provinces at odds and no clear strategy for navigating the potentially devastating economic fallout.

With no unified federal or provincial response, Canadians are stuck in the middle of this political vacuum, facing rising costs and a complete lack of direction. As the country plunges into uncertainty, one thing is clear: Canada deserves better. The political elite can’t continue to squabble while the country deteriorates. It's time for real leadership and action, not self-serving political campaigns.

Canadians are slowly awakening to the fact that Trudeau and his failed Liberal party will not call an election in order to reflect the Canadian public's desired mandate for new leadership and an alignment with Donald Trumps populist policies.In fact a Liberal/NDP coup has occurred, Trudeau shut down Parliament so that he can run Canada through executive orders (Orders in Council). This has caused President Trump to act to secure Canada and prevent its slide into WEF ideological chaos , and now Canada presents a military vulnerability to the USA from China, Russia, and Iran. Canadians want a populist government without ideological gamesmanship.And they want military security.

If Trudeau keeps up his mini coup, we very well may face a military solution to the problem from Washington.

Meanwhile Canadians sleep unaware of the danger,and are uninformed by the CBC and CTV censorship on the issue.

Indeed 50% of Canadians would approve of becoming a protectorate of the USA, like Puerto Rico.

Meanwhile the Trump refrain from Washington is , "WAKE UP CANADA!"

PING to Canada’s political crisis , Trudeau’s Davos inspired draconian mini coup.

Will Trump make Canada a protectorate of the USA like Puerto Rico?

Meanwhile the Supreme Court of Canada has been asked to bring back Parliament in session, in a dodgy application:

Canadians think Trudeau has to call a statutorily scheduled election in the fall,but the fact is without parliament of an Order in Council, the election will be postponed indefinitely using the Emergency War Measures Act invoked by a trade war with the United States.Trudeau loves the Emergency War Measures Act , just as his father did in his mini coup in October of 1970. His most recent use was against the Freedom Movement of the Truckers, whose civil rights he violated.

The radical left represented by Trudeau will never call an election they cannot win.So what will President Trump do with the radical leftist Trudeau ? The death watch for Canada has begun.

Hopefully out of this chaos some Trump like figure will emerge.

Meanwhile, get a load of this...

"De minimus shipment" is a duty and tariff avoidance scheme that takes advantage of the de minimus rule, meaning any individual shipment valued at less than $800 does not require the same customs entry and duty payment as standard shipments…

Shutdown effective Tuesday...?

The voters in the 905/416 (Toronto) areas are in particular the problem, even more specifically the women. They howl racism at the slightest things and demand largesse for everything and completely disregard any austerity and common sense.

I am cheering for Trump to annex Canada as a protectorate.

There is no remedy for the leftist political disease that is Trudeau.He is wreapping himself in the Canadian Flag and poseuring as the Salvation of Canada , a drama teacher by trade, on a crucifix for all Canadians.His propaganda is sick, and now who will dare crioticize within Canada , the Holy Toyuch hole poseur on his own crucifix? May YHWH intervene to take him down, he is a radical anti Christian Davos puppet of Xi Jinping and Klaus Schwab., advancing himself and his leftism under cover of patriotic faux nationalism.Do you think President Trump will tolerate that? Not likely.

The problem is that the majority of Canadians will buy it and eventually re-elect the village idiot.Trump knows all of this and he will intervene.Trump is about to take Trudeau to the woodshed of Liberty.

Meanwhile Trudeau is calling for a boycott of all US made goods in Canada , including “orange juice.”He actually wants the US Marines to enter Ottawa? He is playing a more dangerous game than most Canadians know.Trudeau is now the orange juice Prime Minister.He will act to destroy Alberta’s oil industry, a leftist goal he has pursued for years.

I mentioned this in another thread. Trudeau has this plotted out to serve him. He will call an Emergency Measures Act and will watch us crumble.

What will happen? I am somehow reminded of Tucker Carlson’s jovial little video when he calls Canada and leaves a message that help us on the way and we will soon be rescued.

The hate for Trudeau up here is off-the-charts, but the TDS is a close second. It’s hard to say which way the hate will swing when we start to suffer. Will the TDS take over, or will the hate for Trudeau reach fever pitch?

President Trump could actually line himself up with the people of Canada in their dislike of Trudeau - he is certainly aware of it. I wonder if this is his plan. Goodness knows we hate the mass immigration, inflation, crime, drug use, etc. Our cities look no different than American dem cities with people bent over in the Fentanyl position, needles, filth, etc.

Perhaps “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” strategy would work. I am disappointed in Poilievre’s “retaliation” response. Not the correct way to go, at all.

Getting in a trade war with a country we need to be friendly with over a bunch of junkies is a stupid idea.

We need to work with Canadians to solve common problems.

The leftist rule over Canada should have been left to meet the fate it deserves. Trump is giving Carney a chance to establish himself.

Reducing oil imports could be done by going to electric vehicles powered by natural gas or nuclear power plants.

“orange juice”

The production of orange juice in Florida has collapsed due to a plant disease. There is not one productive citrus tree in my neighborhood that I know of.

“Canada is on a course to become a protectorate of the United States.”

The Canadian I’ve encountered have been strong people.

Cnaada’s Village idiot wraps himself in the flag of Canada
and pretends he is JC Superstar so he will be re-elected. Right now the country would not elect him so Trudeau is trying to become more popular and then withdraw his “resignation” as leader of the leftist Davos liberal party of Canada.(See the video below.)

Trudeau will never allow an election to be called
unless he knows that he will win it.And he is CAnadas genuine village idiot to obfuscate, pose, and pretend his way back into his leadership role.To do this he has shut down Parliament and the effective voice of the Conservative Opposition.He has even made sure that social platforms like Meta cannot publish news sfrom the USA that criticize him. Canadians are censored from posting them and therefore Canadians are largely uniformed on the issue of lower consumer prices represented by allowing US goods into Canada.

Just see how he is poseuring. its enough to make anyone sick:

“Poilievre’s “retaliation” response”

He might offer to let Canadians sell off US stocks at a 10% tax rate. That would be enough to turn the US stock markets bearish.

Canada has a Deep State, too.

What it doesn’t have, yet, is a Trump.
