It wasn't supposed to end this way.
Back in 2015 when Justin Trudeau When he ascended to the premiership his father had held long before him, he was supposed to be the young, exciting, brash leader who could lead the Liberal Party and Canada for decades.
Today, Trudeau's political career and reputation are in the dustbin of history, like so many other straight-haired neoliberals from Italy to Argentina to Germany, and beyond. Frustration with the progressive status quo of globalization has reached its peak.
In any case, including President-elect Donald Trump wins In November 2024, on the machine of the Democratic Party and its media allies in the old United States, it was populism that propelled the New Thinkers to power and pushed the progressivism of the 1990s to the brink.
In today's Great White North, one might say: Canadian truck drivers: 1, Justin Trudeau: 0
You remember the truck drivers, who parked their big rigs in Ottawa to protest the vaccine mandate in the bad old days of the coronavirus in early 2022. They had the audacity to defy Emperor Justin and paid dearly.
Trudeau and his government denigrated peaceful protesters, many of whom were from families, as insurgents and racists, and in some horrific cases, even froze the bank accounts of ordinary Canadians engaged in political discourse.
The reason I know that Trudeau's claims that Ottawa was under siege were lies is because I was there, there was no fear of violence, there was no dangerous extremism, there were food tents, bouncy houses for the kids, and a dance floor.
Not to mention the hundreds of Canadian flags, many of which were proudly flown on hockey sticks.

Trudeau appeared stunned and angry at the public rebuke. He was supposed to be the leader of the great masses of the working class in the streets, not their arch enemy.
And it's gotten worse with the emergence of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who has now spent years quietly and carefully tearing down Trudeau's miserable socialist legacy, sometimes while casually eating an apple.

What Poilievre makes clear is that Trudeau has left his nation and his party far worse off than they were when he took power.
the Canadian economy There is chaos, freedom of expression is under perilous attack, immigration is out of control, and vigilance is in disarray. About the only accomplishment Trudeau and his country's Liberals can point to is that it's now easier to kill yourself in Canada.
The writing has been on the wall for Trudeau for more than a year, but a recent spat with his key ally, Chrystia Freeland, was one the prime minister could not survive. Surprisingly, the root of this division is that Freeland did not think Trudeau was treating populist Donald Trump as a sufficient threat.

The Canadians know what the real threats are, and so do the Americans and the British Italians and Hungarians And perhaps eventually even the French. Across the West, the real threats are government encroachment on every aspect of our lives and its failure to secure our borders.
Justin Trudeau could have been built in an NGO lab backed by billionaires. He has defended every reckless left-wing policy, pursued every global trade deal, and punished his own countrymen when they dared to challenge him.

But apparently, 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 showed that the people have rejected him.
The vagaries of parliamentary systems like Canada's leave us in the dark as to when new elections will be held, no later than this fall, and perhaps much sooner, but ultimately a victory for Poilievre and the Conservatives seems inevitable, and another populist domino falls across the world.

What will replace the last three decades of progressive rule in the West is not yet entirely clear, and perhaps not fully imagined, but the failed policies of globalization, Open bordersMulticulturalism, as well as contempt for the national self, has become unacceptable.
Right now, the people of Canada have sent their message to Trudeau loud and clear, saying, “Go, Hoosier,” and here in the United States we were saying, “Don’t let the door hit you.” Way out.”
