election call?????

[dmlfarmer]

National media has just been advised Justin Trudeau will hold a virtual news conference from an undisclosed location at 11:00AM EST today. Media has also been summoned to Rideau Hall where the Governor General will be speaking shortly after 11:00PM. There is an embargo on all further information until 11:00PM.

So is Trudeau resigning and calling a snap election? If so, by election laws if the election is called this AM it would have to be held no less than 36 days of dropping the writ, and no more than 50 days out. We would have a early March election.

Is this a calculated risk by Trudeau that opposition parties are not ready for an election? Does Trudeau believe more people agree with vaccination mandates that what yesterday's rally show? Regardless, if parliament is dissolved today, there will be no changes to mandates until after an election. Leaves lots of questions about candidates in ridings, and even leadership of the Conservative party. Appears O'Toole will be leading the party in another election. It also brings into question the funds collected by the organizers of the rally and if they are political donations. As well, will the signs on trucks be considered political advertising. So it appears freedom convey/anti Trudeau faction has achieved their goal, the question will be are they organized enough to fight an election or if they have angered enough people that the Liberals could win a majority.

Make sure you have your TV on at !1:00 EST

Nah it’s just a chance for him to call everyone racists again.

Or some made up security threat.

Let me play devils advocate.

If he resigns does that mean we become a country of protests every time governments make an unfriendly decision or a poorly thought out one?

Or does it mean going close to 9 months without an accountable government cause this?


My thinking is people are finally fed up with politicians that are not working for the country, getting raises to sit in their house on Zoom meetings, and not actually meeting with or talking to constituents.

My MP patzer has time to take photos with extreme right while ignoring constituents.
Patzer sits in one of the hardest hit ridings for drought to crops and ranchers and he is quiet until a parade comes to town.

I think people are just fed up with the lack of accountability.

Trudeaus poll numbers sit at 28%. He would get an even weaker govt if he went to the polls. Liberals would have more vote splitting with jagger this time and CPC would have splitting with PPC.

For a guy who only wont 18% of the eligible vote and lost the popular vote, it would be a big risk.

He will probably call us all bad people and show the picture of the pewter colored truck with a confederate flag over and over again.

I wonder how long before they clear this protest out of Ottawa ?

Will be it be allowed to last as long as the railroad or pipeline protests? I doubt it.

The left are trying to smear it as a hate convoy.

I mean BLM tore down statues of our founders and spray painted them. These guys put a flag on Terry Fox. and thats called desecration.

Nah, he's not that kind of guy, is he?

Sunny ways wouldn't pull a stunt like that!!

This was a protest against Ford just months before covid and not a peep from the media and commie left.

11:00 PM for the Governor General? Well it won’t be long before we find out if your right, 48 mins. as I write this.

I would certainly question the wisdom of another election just over 4 months after the last one. Another $600 million taxpayer dollars wasted!

If Trudeau leaves, it won't be wasted. Who will be liberal leader after Trudeau, who wants to clean up the mess he left?
