Political Winds Of Change In Canada?

WNU Editor: Prime Minister Trudeau's Liberals lose a bye-election in their stronghold of Quebec .... hint: it was not even close .... Conservatives' Richard Martel wins in Chicoutimi-Le Fjord byelection (CBC). I have been writing for the past year that Prime Minister Trudeau's hold on power was slipping .... even though polls and pundits have been saying that he is very popular. He is not. The complete defeat of the provincial Liberals in the province of Ontario in an election two weeks ago should be a wake-up call to the Prime Minister that his policies (which the Liberals in Ontario strongly supported) are very unpopular .... especially when we learn that this is their legacy (and ours) when the final bill comes in .... $312 Billion: Green Energy Makes Ontario the Most Debt-Ridden Province on Earth (PJ Media). The next big defeat for the Liberals will be in the province of Quebec, where the provincial Liberals will be defeated because of high taxes, high gas prices, open borders, and an economy that everyone is saying is booming, but there have been no real wage increases for years (being one who lives here, I can attest to that). As for the Federal Liberals and Prime Minister Trudeau .... they go to the polls next year, and all that I can say is that when you rule against the will of people, they will remember you on election day, especially if you run on crazy policies like this one .... Soon To Be  Ontario Premier Doug Ford promises cheaper gas, Justin Trudeau vows to stop it (Brian Lilly).

On a side note .... the G7 ended two weeks ago. The focus and criticisms was on Trump. But ..... French President Macron's popularity and poll numbers are in the sewer. German Chancellor Merkel may be out of a job in two weeks. The Italian Premier is new .... the old one was kicked out a week before. British Prime Minister May is under pressure by everyone in her party .... and who knows how long she can last. Japanese PM Abe is facing corruption allegations, and his numbers do not look good even though he did win by a landslide in last year's election. And I have doubts that Canadian Prime Minister can win the next election .... certainly not with his policies and initiatives. So there is a very real chance that in President Trump's last year in his four year mandate .... in that G7 he may be the only one left from this one .... or at least him and Macron.
