Trudeau knows there’s trouble on the horizon via politico
01/30/2023 05:00 AM ESTOTTAWA — It’s unclear if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will still be in power at the end of the year.
In his Friday speech to his party, Trudeau cast himself as a leader with a “positive vision of the future” and portrayed his rival as full of rage and light on policy and “positive solutions.” But by Saturday’s caucus meeting, the prime minister had softened his language on the threat of his government falling.
“It’s not going to feel good,” he said shortly after the central bank raised its benchmark interest rate 25 basis points — its eighth consecutive hike in the past year to tamp down inflation. A damning report could elicit a vote of non-confidence in the House of Commons, giving the New Democrats’ deal to prop up the minority Liberals’ until 2025 its first major stress test.Trudeau’s team has dined out on the prime minister’s friendship with former Preisdent Barack Obama to lift his progressive credibility. Biden’s first in-person visit to Canada as president will be a bromide for the prime minister on the heels of whatever the Rouleau’s inquiry finds.
A prudent spring budget won’t necessarily mean a thrifty Fall Economic Statement. In 2021, the Liberals campaigned on a platform that touted C$78 billion in new spending, a bulk of which remains unallocated.The Liberal’s proposed gun legislation , prohibiting some hunting rifle and shotgun models, is a ripe opportunity for Conservatives to cast Liberals as an urban party.
