Trudeau Out? Liberal MP Calls For Leadership Review · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  So is it possible that just perhaps maybe even the Liberal Party itself has had
• 0:09
  enough of Trudeau. Here's the headline. Liberal MP says he thinks Trudeau should
• 0:14
  face a leadership review. Quote every leader, every party has a best before
• 0:19
  date. Our best before date is here, it says MP Ken McDonald.
• 0:25
  And best before date huh yeah, I think that's long past. I think
• 0:29
  Trudeau at this point is that thing that you forgot at the back of the
• 0:33
  fridge, on the bottom shelf, you know, the thing that you put
• 0:36
  on rubber gloves to throw away. Now. The Newfoundland m P stopped short
• 0:40
  of saying that Trudeau should step down, but he did tell Radio Canada that
• 0:43
  he would like to see some sort of review organized within the party, one
• 0:48
  which would allow party members to express themselves freely and permit potential rivals for the
• 0:54
  party leadership to come forward. Quote as a party, let's clear the air
• 0:58
  and if people are still into on having the leader we have now, fine,
• 1:03
  but at least give people the opportunity to have their say and what they
• 1:07
  think the direction the party is going. Or in other words, justin the
• 1:11
  party's over, it's time for you to go home and you can take your
• 1:17
  wine spritzers with you now. Of course, this is all coming out just
• 1:19
  at the same time we've seen another headline Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act was
• 1:25
  ruled unconstitutional. What happens now, Well, the short answer to what happens
• 1:30
  now is really nothing legally, except that it does perhaps open the door for
• 1:36
  people to sue the government for damages. But the Liberals say they're going to
• 1:40
  appeal the decision, so we'll see what happens with that. But what should
• 1:44
  happen is that Trudeau should resign. And that's not the only reason. I
• 1:48
  mean, his favorability right now is well thirty two percent, and the Liberal
• 1:52
  Party itself is in the tank. You can see the Conservative se or have
• 1:56
  a commanding lead. If the election were held today, they'd almost certainly have
• 1:59
  them a majority government, probably by a fairly substantial margin. But if you
• 2:04
  think any of this is going to make Trudeau actually let go of power,
• 2:07
  stop grasping desperately for power, yeah, I don't think that's going to happen,
• 2:13
  even with his approval at thirty two percent and trending down, and what's
• 2:17
  the lowst that he can go. Well, Scott Adams has said that it's
• 2:21
  his belief that twenty five percent of people are always wrong about everything. I
• 2:25
  think he's probably right, so I would say his bottom is probably twenty five
• 2:30
  percent, but I guess we'll have to see. But all that aside,
• 2:34
  it's just obvious that at this point he's hurting his own party. And I
• 2:38
  have to imagine there's a lot of Liberal MPs that are getting more than a
• 2:40
  little nervous well at what looks like a devastating defeat in the next election and
• 2:46
  a major, major roadbump in their own political ambitions. And here's one,
• 2:52
  here's one who's saying he thinks Trudeau should face a leadership review. So,
• 2:55
  just for clarity, In Canadian politics, ay leadership review is a vote held
• 3:00
  at a political party convention in which delegates decide whether to endorse an incumbent party
• 3:07
  leader or schedule a leadership convention to elect a new leader. Now, sixty
• 3:13
  six percent in the vote is considered an informal bar to set to call a
• 3:19
  leadership election. But that's not legally binding. It's just again an informal rule.
• 3:24
  Now, this isn't the first time that this Liberal MP Ken McDonald has
• 3:29
  dissented against Trudeau. Here we have from October twenty fifth, twenty twenty two
• 3:34
  Liberal MP votes with Conservatives over home heating fuel carbon tax exemption. And of
• 3:39
  course this would have been very disappointing for Trudeau because taxing people is the only
• 3:45
  thing that he knows how to do well. And also, as we know,
• 3:47
  Trudeau's absolutely obsessed with ideologically driven and counterproductive climate change policies, and he
• 3:55
  even put in a well known far left lunatic as minister for it. But
• 4:01
  that said, I doubt very much it's just this one guy. I mean,
• 4:05
  politics is a cutthroat business as it is, and I suspect that Trudeau
• 4:10
  isn't only hated by millions and millions of Canadian voters. I suspect he might
• 4:15
  be hated by people in his own party. It's just the kind of guy
• 4:18
  he is. But when we see a leadership review, I don't know.
• 4:24
  Only one thing is certain at this point Trudeau is definitely past his best before
• 4:29
  date anyway. That's all I gotta say about that. Please subscribe, like
• 4:31
  and share, share. It really helps me out. I thank you for
• 4:34
  that. I will see you next time.
