Quote from: DKG on December 20, 2024, 10:08:13 AMChrystia Freeland resigned from her post, citing disagreements with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on, as she described "reckless spending" and fiscal irresponsbility.Are you losing sleep over it, you abo looking fuck?
She announced her resignation in a letter to Trudeau on Monday, in which she said the two have been "at odds about the best path forward for Canada", and pointed to the "grave challenges" posed by dangerous overspending. She has listed several exmaples, including the most recent "GST Holiday" which she believes is a "senseless political gimmick".
In an interview with Vassy Kapelos
Vassy Kapelos: "The entire nation has read your resignation letter to the Prime Minister. And now you've requested this interview to tell your side of the story. Can you tell us how this has happened so sudden and unexpectedly?"
Chrystia Freeland: "To be clear, I saw this coming even before the Prime Minister asked me to resign last week. We've been at odds for quite some time now.. I've pleaded for fiscal austerity and some level of restraint on all the reckless spending, but he won't listen. Not to me, not to anyone."
Vassy Kapelos: "So you're saying that the $250 cheques to be sent out, the GST holiday, all of this was ordered by Trudeau and you had nothing to do with it?"
Chrystia Freeland: "Exactly. And you know, I even had a solution to the overspending that would fix the economy as well but Justin wouldn't go for it."
QuoteIn the wake of Donald Trump repeatedly saying Canada should become the 51st state, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says it is a further sign that Canada needs new leadership.https://x.com/brianlilley/status/1869873268263419939?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1869873268263419939%7Ctwgr%5E5cc0b3244a320ad012637a3da3d5264c99641182%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftorontosun.com%2Fopinion%2Fcolumnists%2Fpoilievre-says-canada-will-never-be-the-51st-american-state
In an exclusive interview with the Toronto Sun, Poilievre said Trump is seeing the weakness in the Trudeau government, currently in disarray, and he's trying to take advantage of that weakness.
"That's why we need a strong, smart prime minister who has the brains and backbone to first and foremost say to President Trump, Canada will never be the 51st state. We will be an independent, proud, sovereign country, as we always have been," Poilievre said.
That doesn't mean Poilievre believes Canada should take a combative stance against the American president. In fact, while Poilievre admitted there are problems with illegal immigration from Canada to the United States and troubles with illicit drugs, he said those are problems we should want to fix ourselves.
"I want to secure our border, not to please President Trump or any American, but to save our own families," Poilievre said.
He pointed to the deadly toll fentanyl has taken in Canada, more than 47,000 people have died from overdoses of this deadly drug.
"That's more than died in the Second World War fighting for Canada. I mean, it is astonishing how deadly the liberalization of drugs under this NDP-Liberal government has been," he said.
"The president has raised some reasonable concerns about the broken liberal border and our military, and I would respond by saying, we do need to reinforce our border with drones, helicopters, boots on the ground, and other high-performing technology to keep drugs and guns from crossing, to stop human trafficking."
It sounds like common sense, which is sorely lacking in Ottawa.
The Trudeau Liberals had been hoping the re-election of Donald Trump would lead to a Trump bump for their political fortunes. That hasn't happened, at least not according to any public polling that is available.
"President Trump has always put America first. Well, I will always put Canada first," Poilievre said.
After years of a Trudeau government that has appeared to put the Liberal Party or international organizations and aspirations first, it's refreshing to hear a leader say Canada and Canadians should come first.
Canada desperately needs an election and a new government. But thanks to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, we won't be getting one anytime soon.
Canadians can rest assured though that when that time comes, the Poilievre-led Conservative Party will be a government in waiting, ready to take over and right what is wrong with this country.
