Not only was Trudeau losing momentum going towards the election announcement due to Canadians disapproval of having to go back to the polls right now, but when he did drop the writ for the September 20 election, he bungled the rollout with cheap excuses for why he bothered calling the election.
Yesterday the Conservative Party, led by the supposedly “true blue” Erin O’Toole, removed Jonas Smith as their candidate for the Yukon electoral riding for opposing vaccine passports and vaccine mandates on the principle that it violates civil liberties.
It will be interesting to see in a new election, especially one called on such short notice, if newer parties like the PPC, Maverick, and the True North Party (recently started by Derek Sloan) will be able to break through due to the frustration of Canadians and especially Westerners, or if more centre-right voters will still rally behind the CPC despite moving to the left.
The school board seems to be trying to put their decision on masks in schools onto the provinces by waiting for their guidance to avoid criticism, rather than just doing the responsible thing and following the trend in Alberta and removing the mandates.
The whole situation seems odd to political observers, especially those who had been convinced Trudeau would be dropping the writ on a new election on Sunday. Many now don’t know if the departure of these three Liberals indicates an election is now coming sooner or if this will delay an election call until later in August or even early September.
The warring with the Conservative Party base by ejecting Derek Sloan on the basis of a fake scandal, demoting Pierre Poilievre, and adding a carbon tax to the CPC platform, among other things, indicates O’Toole may be focused on reshaping the CPC into his own centre-left image so that, even if he loses to Trudeau, O’Toole can still keep a grip on the CPC in the aftermath of an election.
Canada’s unemployment rate was still at a high 7.5 percent at the end of July when the United States was already down to an unemployment rate of 5.9 percent by the end of June, due to greater efforts to get Americans off of government programs and back to work.
The United Conservative Party recently rolled back the draconian lockdowns they had Albertans under for much of the last year, falling back in line with what their voter base was demanding of them, and as a sign that the UCP finally did the right thing, the NDP immediately demanded a public inquiry into the handling of the pandemic.
Rumours have been swirling around on whether or not Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be calling for an early fall election in September, which the writ would be dropped for soon, or if he will be forced to hold off because of the environment of fear he in part has created around COVID-19.
It may come as a shock to Canada’s liberal legacy media, but in spite of all the propaganda coming out which demonizes people for making their own medical choices when it comes to vaccines, the majority of Canadians still respect the choices that others make and wouldn’t view them any differently for making them.
