Recently, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a comment that seems to invert this conventional wisdom. He suggested that young voters are the ones who think about the future and have long-term goals, while older people are too fixated on the present moment.
Trudeau's statement, not surprisingly, overlooks a fundamental aspect of conservatism: its inherent focus on long-term planning and future stability. Conservatives, regardless of age, are often characterized by their emphasis on fiscal responsibility, preservation of institutions, and gradual, sustainable change. These are not short-term fixations, but rather strategies aimed at ensuring long-term societal health and stability.
Consider the conservative approach to economics. Policies that prioritize balanced budgets, debt reduction, and controlled spending are fundamentally forward-looking. They aim to create a stable economic environment that can weather future storms and provide opportunities for generations to come.
Similarly, conservative environmental policies often focus on sustainable resource management and technological innovation rather than immediate, drastic changes. This approach recognizes the need for environmental stewardship while also considering long-term economic impacts.
Tell me, what voters will remain in Canada when the economy is utterly shredded?
And from who will one get the taxes to pay pensions?
No forward-thinking ...

The reality is that Canadians do not pay attention to politics in this country, making it easier for the electorate to be duped and the government to scheme:
Truth is, the Liberals should stop laughing because the roster of people touted to replace Trudeau when he steps down are virtually anonymous.
Chrystia Freeland was the best known among the gaggle of Liberals eyeing the party’s top job. Even still, after being in cabinet for nine years and being finance minister for the last four, only 39% of Canadians could identify Freeland.
That means, 61% of Canadians had no idea who Trudeau’s deputy PM was when shown a photo.
It’s even worse for foreign minister Melanie Joly — 80% had no clue who she was while 81% couldn’t name Anita Anand. Housing minister Sean Fraser was recognized by just 4% of Canadians, which is the same recognition Trudeau fixer Dominic LeBlanc received.
Liberal golden boy Mark Carney, the man many are recruiting to try to replace Trudeau, was recognized by just 7%, meaning 93% could not name him.

If one has confidence in one's non-Laurentian pedigree "journalist", why toy with the thought of replacing her with someone just as corrupt?:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he continues to have "full confidence" in Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland, but he's also been talking to Mark Carney about entering federal politics.
Amid reports suggesting Freeland's role in cabinet could be on the table, Trudeau told reporters in Washington, D.C. on Thursday that Freeland "has been a close friend, an ally, and partner in doing really big things for Canada, and will continue to be."
"I have full confidence in her abilities, and the work we're going to be doing together," he said.
No, you don't.

Perhaps you should quit, like, now:
New Democrat leader Jagmeet Singh yesterday called the political climate “scary.” Asked by reporters for comment on the shooting of Donald Trump, Singh said he too has “worried about the safety of the people around me,” an apparent reference to a 2022 incident in Peterborough, Ont.: “We need to make sure people feel safe.”
Also - why, it's like things unravel all at once:
The RCMP has been struggling for years to fulfill demands from the federal government that it bolster the ranks of officers who protect politicians, yet that unit has remained significantly short-staffed, records show.
The records, which were filed publicly as part of a labour board dispute, illustrate the challenges the RCMP will face during the scheduled 2025 federal election, when politicians across Canada will be campaigning amid a polarizing political climate.
“The protective policing program currently operates with a very high vacancy rate,” reads a 2023 RCMP internal policy memo. Although that memo did not state the precise shortfall, a 2022 internal memo stated that the police force urgently needed to fill at least 235 close-protection officer positions.
And who would want to protect a greedy, money-driven kleptocrat who will ultimately blame the police when things go pear-shaped?
