Justin Trudeau is out. Even Canada has had enough · The Slippery Slope

• 0:09
  Wow, today is the the 7th, the 7th of January 2025 and already
• 0:16
  2025 is off to a just a rock and start.
• 0:20
  There's been so much turmoil I think in the world.
• 0:24
  I haven't even gone over all the things that have happened just
• 0:26
  in the States so far, but probably this story here, one of
• 0:30
  the biggest. Well, it's going to be one of
• 0:33
  the biggest stories for at least a week.
• 0:35
  OK, You can never tell what's going to be the biggest story
• 0:38
  for the whole year because it just seems like one, one minute,
• 0:42
  something massive happens. It only takes a couple of days
• 0:45
  and it's something else even bigger happens.
• 0:47
  And you certainly go, wow, this, this is a massive story.
• 0:50
  But surely this will be a big, big story for for a few days at
• 0:54
  least. Justin, Justin Trudeau, he's
• 0:57
  out. Looks like he's he's gone from
• 1:00
  being the Canadian Prime Minister.
• 1:02
  This fellow always reminded me of the premier that we had here
• 1:05
  in Australia, Dan Andrews. They both took to being, you
• 1:10
  know, want to be despots, dictators very easily, like a
• 1:15
  doctor, like a doctor water. I'm going to read to you what
• 1:20
  Alex Berenson has said about Justin Trudeau.
• 1:22
  I think he he's opinion piece is very succinct at times.
• 1:27
  He says Justin Trudeau, Dustin cannot talk, Justin Trudeau is
• 1:33
  out. Even Canada has had enough.
• 1:35
  That's true way. It seemed like Canadians could
• 1:38
  just put up with so much anyway. So Trudeau, the Canadian Prime
• 1:44
  Minister, pays the price as the pendulum swings against COVID
• 1:49
  authoritarians globally. That's what he says at the
• 1:52
  moment. But you know, as I said the
• 1:54
  other day, there's a new, there's a new one coming.
• 1:56
  So we'll see how it goes. The Wicked Witch of the North
• 2:00
  has melted away. Everyone who hated COVID
• 2:04
  vaccines and lockdown mandates should cheer.
• 2:08
  Justin Trudeau, who imposed strict rules in Canada, then
• 2:13
  declared a national emergency when citizens protested, is
• 2:17
  losing his job as Prime Minister.
• 2:19
  Trudeau said Monday he will step down as soon as his Liberal
• 2:23
  Party names a replacement. Perhaps the biggest surprise is
• 2:27
  that Trudeau lasted so long. His approval ratings are now
• 2:32
  even worse than Smokey Joe Biden's. 74% of Canadians say
• 2:38
  they dislike him. Wow.
• 2:41
  Canadian politics are generally centrist, in keeping with the
• 2:46
  country's tendency towards what Canadians call civility, and
• 2:51
  sceptics view more as a passive aggressive enforced conformity
• 2:55
  that puts Japan's to shame. Either way, Trudeau's initial
• 3:00
  COVID lockdowns reflected his country's mood.
• 3:03
  His approval rating actually rose in spring of 2020.
• 3:08
  Like Australia especially. Especially like Victoria, but
• 3:13
  the whole Australia really. So like Australia, Ireland and
• 3:16
  New Zealand. Canada embraced restrictive
• 3:19
  COVID lockdowns and mandates at first.
• 3:23
  The country effectively closed its borders, except it's
• 3:27
  essential trade. In 2020.
• 3:29
  It's biggest province, Ontario, imposed strict lockdowns that
• 3:34
  closed most stores and limited non essential gatherings.
• 3:38
  Even in 2021, the country ordered more than ten shots for
• 3:44
  each person, over 400 million jabs in all, more per person
• 3:50
  than any other country. And Canadians largely followed
• 3:54
  orders and rolled up their sleeves.
• 3:56
  A July 2021 survey showed that 66% of Canadians believe
• 4:01
  vaccinated people should have greater freedoms than the
• 4:06
  unjabbed, compared to 41% of Americans.
• 4:10
  In August of 2021, Trudeau said anyone flying commercially would
• 4:14
  need a a vaccine passport, effectively denying unvaccinated
• 4:19
  people any realistic way to travel around Canada, which
• 4:24
  stretches over 3000 miles from Britain, British Columbia to
• 4:29
  Newfoundland. But by winter 2022, even many
• 4:34
  Canadians had lost patience with lockdowns and vaccines.
• 4:38
  With discontent rising, Trudeau showed the his true
• 4:42
  authoritarian streak. After thousands of truck drivers
• 4:47
  and other protesters peacefully occupied the Canadian capital of
• 4:51
  Ottawa, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, a law that had
• 4:55
  never been used before being used, and gave him extraordinary
• 5:00
  powers on February 14, 2022 to dismantle the protests.
• 5:05
  Right wing groups from the United States were funding the
• 5:08
  protests, which were thus a threat to Canada's security.
• 5:12
  That's what they said. Canadian authorities then
• 5:15
  blocked funding and seized bank accounts associated with the
• 5:20
  protests and cleared out the encampments.
• 5:23
  It's pretty scary when governments start seizing bank
• 5:26
  accounts, isn't it? So months later, CBC News
• 5:29
  reported that the Canadian government had known even before
• 5:34
  it invoked the Emergencies Act, that it's rationale was
• 5:38
  nonsense. And in January 2024, Canadian
• 5:42
  court ruled the government should never have invoked the
• 5:46
  ACT. Trudeau said he never had any
• 5:51
  regrets. No regrets, he said.
• 5:54
  Trudeau defended his vax mandates, the Emergency act
• 5:58
  decisions in the interview. In an interview and in a with
• 6:04
  with CB CS radios the House, Trudeau spoke about tough and
• 6:09
  divisive choices. Trudeau's approval rating, which
• 6:14
  lurked around 40% for most of 2022, sank further since as
• 6:18
  media driven COVID panic proceeded and anger at the
• 6:21
  rampage over civil liberties grew.
• 6:24
  Now Trudeau has joined Jacinda Arden of New Zealand and of
• 6:30
  course our own Joseph Robinette Biden junior on a long list of
• 6:35
  tin pot COVID dictators who have faced their own reckonings.
• 6:41
  And it couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch.
• 6:44
  Goodbye Justin. Listen, I agree 100% it couldn't
• 6:48
  have happened to a nicer bunch. It's just a shame that it took
• 6:52
  the Canadian people so long to wake up to themselves or maybe
• 6:57
  just be able to force him out. But you know, I still don't
• 7:02
  understand how Victorians kept kept voting for Dan Andrews.
• 7:07
  It's like that. You could see playing as day
• 7:09
  from up here in Queensland that he was bad for the state and yet
• 7:13
  they voted him in again. And now they're reaping the
• 7:17
  they're reaping what they've shown where their state is just
• 7:20
  phenomenal debt. It's just going to drag the
• 7:24
  whole state down. But, you know, we choose we we
• 7:30
  get what we deserve sometimes. Anyway, let me know what you
• 7:35
  think. I think this is good.
• 7:36
  I think it's good for the world. It's definitely good for Canada.
• 7:40
  But it's going to be interesting to see what happens if this new
• 7:44
  virus scare from coming from China again starts to ramp up
• 7:50
  without what who the World Health Organisation spoke about
• 7:54
  the other day with trying to, you know, trying to ramp up
• 7:57
  vaccine and medical and medicine for this new for this new
• 8:04
  illness, for this new virus. And they want to clamp down on
• 8:09
  on anyone who's speaking out against it or they say they want
• 8:12
  to clamp down on misinformation. So let's see how it goes for
• 8:16
  this year. But it's definitely at the
• 8:17
  moment, it's good news to see Trudeau unceremoniously booted
• 8:23
  from from power in Canada. But I'm pretty sure the World
• 8:28
  Economic Foreign Forum will have someone else lined up ready to
• 8:32
  go. That's just my opinion.
• 8:34
