Canada’s Conservative Leader Labels Justin Trudeau a “Wacko” Ejected from Parliament
Pierre Poilievre, the leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, was expelled from the House of Commons on Tuesday after calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “a wacko,” in the latest clash between two men who will face off in an election next year.
The official opposition Conservatives are way ahead in the polls. The incident began when opposition leader Pierre Poilievre criticized Trudeau’s alleged inability to crack down on drug overdoses.
“When will we put an end to this wacko policy by this wacko prime minister?” he questioned Trudeau in the House of Commons, the elected lower chamber.
Speaker Greg Fergus, a Liberal, warned Poilievre that his comment was unparliamentary and unacceptable, and urged him to retract it four times. Poilievre declined on each occasion, stating that he would instead use the terms extremist or radical.
Fergus warned Poilievre that he was rejecting the speaker’s authority and, in a rare action, declared, “I order you to withdraw from the House… for the remainder of this day’s sitting.”
Poilievre, who exited the chamber with his legislators, later reiterated his criticism of Trudeau’s drug policies.
“This is a wacko policy from a wacko PM that’s destroying lives,” he wrote on social media.
Justin Trudeau has a tense relationship with Poilievre, whom he erroneously accuses of being an extreme and supporter of former US President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again campaign.
Trudeau had previously talked with mainstream reporters on Tuesday, accusing Mr. Poilievre of spending time with far-right groups.
“This isn’t responsible leadership. “That is dangerous for democracy and dangerous for Canadians,” he stated.
Ejections from Canada’s Parliament are uncommon. The speaker’s office did not immediately respond to questions about the last time a leader of the official opposition was kicked out.
Gen Z and Millennials Hate Justin Trudeau
The next Canadian election must take place by late October 2025. Public opinion polls show the Conservatives would win a big majority over the far-left Liberals, who have been in power since November 2015 courtesy to a coalition with the NDP.
According to polls, youth today dislike Trudeau more than ever before, and those who were born during the Trudeau administration despise it more than anybody else.
A series of Angus Reid Institute polls demonstrate that young people now despise the Trudeau government more than ever.
A Thursday poll asked Canadians under the age of 24 if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was “working in the best interests of their generation.” Seventy-one percent said “no.”
To be fair to Trudeau, vast majorities of Canadians across generations did not regard him as working in their best interests — but the displeasure was greatest among those who came of age after the Liberals’ 2015 election victory.
Seniors, on the other hand, continued to be Trudeau’s most loyal supporters. Among respondents aged 65 and older, 69 percent disagreed with Trudeau’s government stance, while 28 percent considered the Liberals as representing their “best interests.”
The corresponding figure among under-24s was 15%, the lowest of any other age cohort.
Under-24s were also the least inclined to consider Trudeau as the best candidate for prime minister. While a slender plurality preferred Conservative Pierre Poilievre in the PMO (25 percent over 23 percent for NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh), only 10% supported Trudeau.
“There appears to be much work to do for Trudeau to win over Gen Z and Millennial voters, even in the wake of a budget designed to address their concerns,” according to an Angus Reid Institute analysis of the figures.
The study was done after the Liberals introduced a federal budget titled “Fairness for Every Generation.” The word “fairness” appeared 50 times in the official budget paper, and all of its major initiatives — from affordable housing pledges to a rise in the capital gains tax — were framed as symbols of “generational fairness.”
“Taxing capital gains is not a party issue. In her budget statement on April 16, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland stated, “It is an idea that everyone who cares about fairness should support.”
Thursday’s study on generational fairness adds to another Angus Reid poll issued this week, which found that Liberal support among under-24 voters has reached an all-time low.
According to a recent poll, only 12% of Canadians aged 18 to 34 favor the Liberal Party of Canada. That is not simply the lowest of any age category, but of practically any other voting component that Angus Reid pollsters could think of.
The only other voter group that was more anti-Trudeau than young voters was those who gave their address as Edmonton, Alta.; only 9% of Edmontonians planned to vote Liberal.
Even Calgary ended up being slightly more liberal than the average Canadian in their early twenties. In the heart of the Conservative heartland, the Liberals polled one point higher, at 13%.
For more than a year, the Conservatives have enjoyed strong support among young Canadians. In September, an Abacus Data poll revealed the surprise result that Poilievre was more popular among Canadian youth than among Canadian seniors, a position nearly unique for a conservative leader.
In recent months, forecasts have shown the Tories on course for a supermajority in the next election, thanks mostly to under-34 voters defecting from the Liberals to the Conservatives.
However, new Angus Reid Institute data suggest that, after losing millions of followers, the Liberals are now losing voters to the NDP.
Under-34s were evenly divided between the NDP and the Liberals at the start of 2024 (a Jan. 22 survey placed them at 22% and 20%, respectively).
According to Wednesday’s Angus Reid poll, 36% of those under the age of 34 support the NDP, three times more than the Liberals’ 12%.
It’s why projections are increasingly pointing to the prospect that the Liberals may not only lose the next election, but that their defeat will be so severe that they will not even form the Official Opposition.
According to 338Canada’s most recent riding-by-riding forecasts, the Liberal caucus might collapse to as few as 51 seats.
With the NDP caucus forecast to have 33 seats and the Bloc Québécois at 45, it would only take five to ten flipped ridings in either Ontario or Quebec to push the Liberals to third-party status.

Trudeau GST Tax Holiday to Cost Taxpayers $6.3 Billion
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a two-month GST break on some purchases and a one-time $250 rebate for all Canadians earning less than $150,000. The proposed GST break would last from December 14 to February 15.
The Liberals said it would cover various things, including children’s clothing and shoes, toys, diapers, restaurant meals, and beer and wine. It also refers to real and artificial Christmas trees, snack foods and beverages, and video game systems.
The move will cost taxpayers almost $4.7 billion, and the GST exemption will cost an additional $1.6 billion, totaling $6.3 Billion.
The federal government is now running a significant deficit. This raises the question of who will have to foot the $6.3 billion bill for today’s one-time payments. The government will have to borrow the money, and future taxpayers must either repay it or service the additional debt perpetually.
Critics argue that the GST credit is a collection of terrible ideas that will do little to lift Canada out of the long-term economic rut in which our economy is stuck.
Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre responded Thursday to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pledge of a “GST Holiday” for Canadians, calling it a “tax trick.”
Poilievre stated that the temporary exemption from the Goods and Services Tax on various ordinary commodities “would not make up for the permanent quadrupling carbon tax on heat, housing, food, and fuel.”
Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet stated he is “against any idea of a prime minister who says, ‘I will give you money in order for you to consider voting for me.'”
According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, temporary sales tax holidays will only increase confusion and administrative burden for small business owners.
A temporary sales tax decrease would help boost demand in some industries, including restaurants, Canadians, and companies, which require sustainable tax relief during the slow post-holiday season.
The changes amid an inflation-driven affordability crisis have left many dissatisfied with the Trudeau government. A federal election is scheduled for before next October, although it might happen sooner if the minority government falls before then.
For months, the Conservatives have held a double-digit lead over the Liberals in public opinion polls, with Leader Pierre Poilievre promising to cut taxes and government spending to restore affordability.
High inflation has also pressured the Liberals to avoid proposing policies that would boost spending and raise fuel prices.
According to the Fraser Institute, The Trudeau government got one thing fundamentally right: Lowering the tax burden on Canadians has benefits. Unfortunately, the policy package it has proposed to deliver tax relief is completely wrong.
It lowers the incorrect taxes, moves taxes temporarily rather than lowering them, does little to improve economic incentives, and punishes future taxpayers. With the holiday season approaching, this attempt at a gift for Canadian taxpayers is the economic equivalent of a lump of coal in the stocking.

Matt Gaetz Withdraws as Trump’s Pick for Attorney General
Congressman Matt Gaetz has withdrawn as President-elect Donald Trump’s candidate for Attorney General, citing concerns about a federal sex trafficking probe that cast doubt on his ability to be confirmed.
Gaetz resigned after failing to persuade the Senate to endorse his contentious candidacy. Shortly after Gaetz’s unexpected departure, the president-elect issued a statement applauding his former AG nominee’s choice to seek Senate confirmation.
“I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all the great things he will do!” the president-elect wrote on Truth Social.
Gaetz had earlier stated that he was retiring from his current seat in Congress and would not take the oath of office for the upcoming session, which begins in January. Now that he has withdrawn from consideration for AG, his future in Washington is uncertain.

Eric Hovde Concedes The United States Senate Race To Tammy Baldwin.
(VOR News) – Eric Hovde, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate, has acknowledged that he was defeated by Tammy Baldwin, the Democratic candidate for the same seat on the ballot.
Baldwin acknowledged Hovde’s defeat and consented to it. Furthermore, he released a statement in which he contends that the election results are not only inaccurate, but also devoid of any factual foundation.
Eric Hovde experienced this two weeks after the election.
Baldwin emerged as the unofficial victor of the Senate campaign in Wisconsin, a race that was closely monitored by a significant number of individuals. Baldwin was awarded the title of victor on November 6th. Baldwin emerged victorious by a razor-thin margin.
According to the data provided by the Associated Press, Baldwin emerged victorious by a margin of 29,116 ballots, which is approximately equivalent to 0.9 percent of the total votes cast. Baldwin emerged victorious by a substantial margin, as indicated by the results.
Hovde issued his public apology subsequent to the conclusion of the canvassing of the results by the majority of county clerks throughout the state. This process will ultimately result in the results being recognized as official. Publication of Eric Hovde’s decision. Not only were the results announced at this time, but they were also proclaimed in an official capacity.
The exact phrase of the announcement, “Thank you for your support,” was included in a post by Eric Hovde on Monday and published on the social networking site X.
The public was notified of this announcement. The announcement was public on Monday. It has drawn a lot of attention. “It is time to begin moving on.”
In contrast, Eric Hovde’s film began with a somewhat less inclusive tone, which persisted throughout. He made this assumption without offering any evidence to back it up, and his claims that there were “many troubling issues” with absentee ballots tabulated late on election night were factually incorrect. His claims were not supported by empirical evidence.
His claims were unsupported by any proof. Not a single piece of evidence could possibly prove that his allegations were correct. He stated in the statement that “numerous supporters” had demanded that he challenge the election results. He acknowledged receiving the request.
Eric Hovde acknowledged receiving these demands.
In particular, Eric Hovde asserts, “However, a request for a recount would serve no purpose if it were not for a detailed review of all the ballots and their legitimacy, which will be difficult to obtain in the courts.”
Subsequently, you would recount the identical ballots, regardless of their authenticity. This is the reason, as elucidated in this article. This is the rationale for the current state of affairs.
Hovde and his campaign refrained from issuing any public statements subsequent to Baldwin’s disclosure that Eric Hovde had emerged victorious in the election, which transpired over a week after Baldwin’s initial announcement.
The previous week, he uploaded a video to social media platforms that expressed his “deeply concerned” sentiments regarding the election results in Milwaukee.
The election was conducted in Milwaukee. While the film was being screened, there was a discussion regarding the results of the election in Milwaukee. As the ballots were still being counted in the largest city in Wisconsin on the evening of the election, he expressed his “shock” at the sequence of events that had transpired.
Eric Hovde was emphasizing the occurrence of specific events.
In addition, he declared that ballots were still being tallied at the time of the election. Eric Hovde made this declaration during the voting period, while ballots were still being tabulated.
Baldwin’s team referenced her victory speech, which she delivered the week prior to the election, in response to a request for comment that was submitted on Monday.
In response to the campaign’s request, this action was implemented.
A representative of Baldwin’s team has verified that “Hovde has not called,” which is consistent with the information that was disclosed on Monday morning. The representative who provided these details has worked in a variety of capacities throughout their career.
