DAVID MARCUS: Prime Minister Trudeau leaves the stage. Canadian Truck Driver 1, Prime Minister 0

It wasn't supposed to end like this.

When Justin Trudeau took the job of prime minister, long held by his father, in 2015, he was poised to be a young, sexy, brash leader who could guide the Liberal Party and Canada for decades. .

Today, Prime Minister Trudeau's political career and reputation, like so many other slick-haired neoliberals from Italy to Argentina to Germany and beyond, lies in the dustbin of history. Dissatisfaction with the progressive status quo of globalism has boiled over.

And in all cases, including President-elect Donald Trump's November 2024 victory over the Democratic Party establishment and its media allies in former Country A, it has brought new thinkers to power and reined in 1990s progressivism. It was populism.

In today's Great White North, you might even say, “Canadian truck drivers: 1, Justin Trudeau: 0.”

Remember the truck drivers who parked their big rigs in Ottawa to protest vaccination mandates in the good old days of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2022? They bravely challenged Emperor Justin and paid dearly.

Prime Minister Trudeau and his government minions denigrate peaceful protesters, many of them families, as insurrectionists and racists, and in some cases engage in political discourse in the daily lives of Canadians. There was even a horrific case where their bank accounts were frozen.

The reason I know Prime Minister Trudeau's claim that Ottawa is under siege is a lie is because I was there, and there was no fear of violence or dangerous extremism, no food tents, no food for children. There was a bouncy house and a dance floor.

Not to mention hundreds of Canadian flags, many proudly attached to hockey sticks.

Prime Minister Trudeau appeared stunned and outraged by the public's condemnation. He was to be the leader of the great working-class masses in the streets, not their mortal enemy.

The situation worsened with the arrival of Conservative leader Pierre Poièvre. He has spent years calmly and carefully tearing apart Trudeau's dismal socialist legacy, sometimes casually munching on an apple.

What Poièvre makes perfectly clear is that Prime Minister Trudeau has left the country and the party in a much worse state than when he took power.

Canada's economy is in turmoil, free speech is under dangerous attack, immigration is out of control, and wokeness is out of control. The only accomplishment Prime Minister Trudeau and his Liberal Party can claim is that suicide has become easier in Canada.

This letter has been in the works for Trudeau for more than a year, but his latest conflict with key ally Chrystia Freeland has been too much for him to bear. Incredibly, the root of the division was Freeland's belief that Trudeau wasn't treating populist Donald Trump as a sufficient threat.

Canadians know what the real threat is, and so do Americans, British, Italians, Hungarians, and eventually even the French. Across the Western world, the real threat is government encroachment into every aspect of our lives and government failure to protect our borders.

Justin Trudeau may have been created in the lab of a super-powerful billionaire-backed NGO. He championed every dumb left-wing policy, pursued every globalist trade deal, and punished his own people if they dared to rebel.

But clearly, in Canada, as in the United States, the people have the final say, not the scions of powerful families or international think tanks, and Trudeau's resignation on Monday clearly signals that the people reject him. Showed.

Given the vagaries of parliamentary government systems like Canada's, it is unclear when new elections will be held, but it may be as late as this fall, or perhaps sooner, but ultimately a victory for Poilievre and the Conservatives is inevitable. Apparently not, yet another populist domino falls across Christendom. .

Although the alternatives to the progressive dominance of the Western world over the past three decades are not yet entirely clear and perhaps even fully imagined, the failed policies of globalism, open borders, multiculturalism, and national self-respect are It is being rejected.

For now, Canadians are sending a message loud and clear to Prime Minister Trudeau, and while over there it says “Here we go, hey hozer,” here in America it says “Don't hit the door.” Probably. Exit. ”
