I did not see this coming. Last I heard, he was in for the long haul... (no pun intended)
Not a fan, never have been. To this I say good riddance, but I am surprised by this, and wondering, what is --- the rest of the story!
I have many Canadian friends who winter in Puerto Vallarta, and over the years, I've heard plenty about their politics. Recently, Canada has seen a liberal-conservative divide much like the U.S. This divide has deepened, driven by policy differences on issues like climate change, healthcare, and immigration—sound familiar? The Liberals, under Justin Trudeau, focus on progressive policies, while the Conservatives prioritize fiscal conservatism and stricter immigration controls. Partisan rhetoric has grown more heated, especially with the rise of populism in the Conservative Party, mirroring the tone of U.S. politics. It seems like Trudeau could see the writing on the wall.
Yes, but to resign, go down without a fight? I don't know if that's all there is to this Shar, but possibly!! Maybe he doesn't have any fight in him, it has just always come easy pushing the people around or into corners, and he senses ("sees the writing") those days are gone, behind them.....
Depending on the people, naturally.
Canada is facing financial challenges, but whether it's in serious trouble depends on how you look at it. The federal debt has grown significantly, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their government continues to run budget deficits. Economic growth has resumed a bithj, but it's slower compared to pre-pandemic levels, affected by inflation, global uncertainties, and higher interest rates from the Bank of Canada. Inflation has been a concern, though it has moderated recently, and interest rate hikes, while aimed at controlling inflation, have raised borrowing costs for both individuals and businesses, as well as the cost of servicing government debt. On the household level, Canadians carry some of the highest debt levels globally, largely due to high costs. On the positive side, Canada benefits from its wealth of natural resources and strong trade ties with the U.S. But President Trump has threatened them with tariffs which will affect their economy if they can't come to a mutual solution.
In addition, many of Canada's problems are the same as those in the U.S. The people seem to have experienced a great epiphany, much like what we saw with the Trump election. Perhaps they felt their nation was not on the path they wanted it to be, and this sentiment could be driving shifts in priorities and expectations for leadership. In my view, Trudeau is bailing due to realizing he is not strong enough to do the job.
Hear ye Hear ye... calling any Canadian Trumps out there!!!

Last night I watched the Debate in English, and tonight I'm watching the debate in French. Regardless of their platforms, my hat is off to the leaders in our country who are able to debate effectively in French and English!

Greetings all, check out this article and if you are so inclined share your thoughts. I think that this Trump guy is a bull in a china shop and is the reason the GOP has so little credibilty with Hispanic and, in general, minority voters. They keep on bringing the same clowns to the big top!...
