Seven more
days until the happiest day of the year!
What a complete and
utter butthole, however, not too different than he has been his entire
life:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Chrystia Freeland in a Zoom call on Friday that she was going to be replaced as finance minister by former central banker Mark Carney, three Liberal sources say.
The sources say Mr. Trudeau was direct in the call, telling her that by Tuesday morning she would no longer be finance minister and that the job would be handed to Mr. Carney, former governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England. The Prime Minister still expected her to deliver the economic and fiscal update on Monday that showed she would miss the government’s promised $40.1-billion deficit target by more than $20-billion.
Ms. Freeland resigned Monday morning, before delivering the update.
The Globe and Mail is not identifying the Liberal Party sources who were not authorized to publicly discuss what transpired in talks between Mr. Trudeau and Ms. Freeland.
Mr. Carney did not take up the offer after Ms. Freeland resigned Monday.
Not man
enough to face the malignant dwarf who is not only NOT EVER a
hero in this fiasco but took great
pains to oppress the prole.
Did anyone
remember her
sound advice to cut Disney Plus and her
snickering at robbing truckers of their property?
I do.
A Canadian graphologist yesterday questioned who signed ex-Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s resignation letter. Even a person under emotional strain would not completely alter their signature, said the handwriting expert: “Even under duress you sign your name using the same formations.”
The annual rate of inflation slowed to 1.9 per cent in November, Statistics Canada said Tuesday.
The agency cited a “broad-based” slowing in price hikes, particularly on travel tours and on mortgage costs, contributing to the cooling off.
That’s down from an inflation rate of two per cent in October.
The November inflation data comes as the Canadian economy struggles and the Bank of Canada trims its key interest rate, looking to stimulate growth heading into 2025.
The Canadian meanwhile dollar dipped below 70 cents to its U.S. counterpart for the first time since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic on Tuesday morning, continuing a rough close to 2024 for the loonie.
If we could
take this out of their pension, I might feel a bit better.
National debt charges this year eclipsed federal funding for medicare, new figures show. MPs expressed astonishment at data that deficit spending is 55 percent higher than projected last April: “Everything they touch turns to mud. It’s the opposite of King Midas.”
A whole
seventy-five cents just for me?:
MPs yesterday ridiculed a promotional video by Social Development Minister Jenna Sudds celebrating the temporary repeal of a 75¢ GST charge on a bottle of wine. Millions of Canadians this Christmas “will be lucky if they get tap water,” said Conservative MP Larry Brock (Brantford-Brant, Ont.): “I was really shocked.”
By subtly raising prices on non-taxed goods, retailers could create additional inflationary pressures at the grocery store — a scenario that would further strain Canadian households already grappling with rising costs. Temporary measures like this GST holiday can also disrupt pricing strategies, encouraging grocers to adjust overall margins to compensate for the two-month tax break, leading to higher prices on non-taxable food even after the holiday ends.
This is how the Liberals attempted to buy Canadians.

A “stop Trudeau” protest vote last night cost Liberals a third Commons seat in a byelection, this time in Cloverdale-Langley City, B.C. The upset came hours after the Prime Minister marked the close of what he called “one of the toughest days as a Party.”
Someone get
a cold, wet blanket for Justin because he done got burned in BC.
Rumours were already swirling that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would lose one minister come Monday morning, but the situation escalated quickly.
As Housing Minister Sean Fraser was making official on Dec. 16 his departure from cabinet, Chrystia Freeland published the official resignation letter she sent to Trudeau. Some Liberal MPs also started chiming in, asking for the prime minister to step down, including some who had not been vocal until now. Later that night, the Liberals lost the byelection in Cloverdale-Langley City in B.C. to Conservatives. …
Trudeau had weathered resignation calls from a small group of MPs in October. Some have now added their voices, including those who were supportive at the time.
Ontario Liberal MP Francis Drouin said in October the caucus was “100 percent” behind Trudeau. On Dec. 16, he reversed that position, telling CBC News the prime minister “needs to go,” and that he doesn’t see how the Liberal Party can “move forward” under Trudeau after Freeland’s resignation.
Two other MPs who had so far not been outspoken also called on Trudeau to step down.
Montreal-area Liberal MP Anthony Housefather told CTV News on Dec. 16 that he told Trudeau to resign “a couple months ago.” His colleague Helena Jaczek, a former cabinet minister, also told the network she wants Trudeau to resign.
Some Liberal MPs who signed a letter in October asking Trudeau to step down issued new statements to reiterate their stance. Ontario Liberal MP Chad Collins said the country needs to go in a “new direction.”
Vancouver-area Liberal MP Patrick Weiler said it is “clear that the Prime Minister has lost the confidence of members of caucus and increasingly much of the country.”
Those calls for Trudeau to resign also echoed in the House of Commons, including from NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. Singh, however, has not committed to voting non-confidence in the government. The minority Liberals need the support from one opposition party to remain in power.
(Sidebar: because he is a money-grubbing coward.)
The only reason Trudeau hasn't stepped down already is because he doesn't have any reason to think he should. Trudeau has gotten away with so much in the last 10 years, I'm sure he feels invincible. And who can blame him? Unchecked fraud, corruption, treason, and other unlawful… pic.twitter.com/vDaP3H9l8K

What were Canadians waiting for?
What is their excuse for bolstering an unaccomplished, divisive soy-boy and their totalitarian-sympathetic band of robber-barons?
Why did it take nine years before someone might have thought that this moron was a petty, small-minded, arrogant, woman-hating sack of stupidity?
Who is the bigger fool here?
Also:
In 1991, 65 per cent of Canadians reported a “deep emotional attachment” to Canada, according to ARI. That number dropped to 62 per cent by 2015. By 2024, it plummeted to 49 per cent.
Concurrently, the pride Canadians have in their country has fallen sharply. Seventy-eight per cent of respondents in 1985 said they were “very proud” to be Canadian. That number dropped to 52 per cent by 2016. And this year there was another drop — to 34 per cent.
In short, the proportion of survey respondents who said they are “proud” or “very proud” to be Canadian has dropped significantly in the last eight years — from 79 per cent to 58 per cent.
What are we to be proud of?
Chinese electoral interference?
The failed policy of political multiculturalism that now has everyone asking why we shouldn't have a values test for migrants?
Our willful murder of the sick and elderly?
How about the soft kids we stuff into ineffective public schools?
Our failed healthcare system and government cover-up of a virus of "unknown origin" and the flu shots that went with them?
Be more specific.
South
Korean President Yoon Seok-Yeol is gone for now:
South Korea's Constitutional Court kicked off proceedings on Monday over the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been suspended from office over his failed bid to impose martial law.
Yoon was removed by South Korea's parliament on Saturday over his short-lived attempt to suspend civilian rule, which plunged the country into its worst political turmoil in years.
The Constitutional Court has around six months to determine whether to uphold the impeachment.
Fresh elections must be held within two months if he is removed.
The court formally began proceedings at 10 a.m. Monday, a spokesman said.
Prime Minister Han Duck-soo is serving as interim leader in Yoon's stead.
It has been revealed that British Columbia legend Terry Fox will appear on Canada's new $5 bill.
The move was outlined in the 2024 Fall Economic Statement, which dropped on Monday.
"Terry Fox is a Canadian hero," the government said. "He campaigned to raise awareness and funding for cancer research by running his Marathon of Hope, a cross-Canada 42-km daily run, on his prosthetic leg. By February 1981, the Marathon of Hope had raised $24.7 million or $1 for every Canadian. His run was interrupted just past the half-way point when the cancer reached his lungs, and ultimately took his life. Through his efforts, the 22-year-old showed Canadians the difference that an ordinary person could make through sheer willpower and determination."
After noting that to this day, runs are held in his honour across the country and around the world every year, the government said its decision was made "to inspire more Canadians to give $5 to the cause that Terry Fox championed."

40 Canadian cities, towns and villages are now recognizing December as Christian Heritage Month.
According to an updated list from the Christian Heritage Month initiative, 40 Municipalities, 2 regions and 1 province in Canada have proclaimed December as Christian Heritage Month as Canadian Christians move to reclaim their country’s heritage.
“The Christian Heritage Month Initiative is a dynamic, multi-denominational movement dedicated to celebrating the vibrant cultural, social, and artistic contributions of Canada’s Christian community,” the website explains.
“This initiative unites diverse voices and fosters a sense of belonging, enriching our nation’s identity and promoting inclusivity for all,” it continued.
Many other religions have been given heritage months to celebrate their faiths. Now, Christians will have a month in recognition of Christianity as an important part of Canadian heritage.
All of the cities have pledged to bring forth legislation that enshrines December as Christian Heritage Month into local law. Many have already done so.
The move by Canadian cities comes after the federal government and 9 of 10 provincial governments have yet to proclaim December as Christian Heritage Month.
The province of Saskatchewan is the first province so far to make the proclamation. Major places in Ontario that have signed on include Ajax, Durham, Sudbury, Mississauga, Ottawa and Niagara Falls. Alberta municipalities Red Deer and Okotoks have also signed on, as have Saskatchewan’s Regina and Saskatoon. In British Columbia, Whistler and Prince George have also signed on to the initiative.
The nation’s largest city, Toronto, also agreed to recognize Christian Heritage Month despite many politicians arguing against the motion.
