They could have, or I should say the government, the system could have called a non-confidence vote any time since 2021, but there has been something of a de facto coalition between the NDP, which is left of the liberals, and the liberals, which has been maintaining this liberal minority government in power since 2021.
By the way, Charlie Kirk, I worked, I worked, I ran in 2021 for the People's Party of Canada in my riding Westbound NDG. which went liberal by over 50-some-odd percent. So that's the basics. It's not a presidential system. You don't elect a prime minister. You elect a party that then appoints the prime minister.

And you can have the party say, we no longer have confidence in this government, trigger a new election, which they haven't done because of this unholy alliance between the two evil parties, the liberals and the NDP. And what you had yesterday, that people, I don't know if anybody was watching, basically it's like the C-SPAN of Canadian politics, CPAC.

You can watch the live debates in Parliament, and it looks like a cheap foreign soap opera at like three in the morning, where you see Pierre Poilievre, who's the leader for the Conservatives, bickering back and forth with the Liberals. Why don't you just trigger a new election?

And the Liberals are saying, we're going to table a bill, we're going to do good for the government, and yada, yada, yada. And the bottom line is,

many people suspect that they are not triggering an election, or at least the NDP, which has coalesced with the liberals, because some select members of the NDP want to secure their federal pension, and they need to wait for a certain number of years in federal office before they get that pension.

And so a lot of them have basically this alliance with the devil to maintain the government until they get their pensions, then they'll trigger an election when Trudeau and the liberal party will get smashed.

It's putting pressure on the Canadian government. There's no question about that because there is going to be financial consequence if there's a tariff war or if there's a tariff imposed. It's not going to be a war when it's a lopsided, uneven fight. There are some people hypothesizing, musing that Trump told Trudeau to get rid of Chrystia Freeland.

I don't see it that way because Krista Freeland, she's not a threat on her own and she wasn't a threat in the Trudeau government. What ended up happening is they threatened this tariff and Trudeau, because he's in a politically tight spot, he's unpopular like the liberals have never been unpopular before. And They're deciding to spend their way out of this unpopularity by giving $250 checks.

Charlie, appreciate this. The Liberal government just announced they're going to send everyone who makes under $150,000 a year a $250 check. They're going to temporarily suspend certain taxes on certain foods for two months in January 2025. And I think what happened is Christopher Freeland saying, this makes no economic sense.

It looks like you're literally buying votes, which is literally what he's doing. And she's covering her own tushy by saying, I'm going to bail out. I'm going to jump this ship like the rat that she is. But I'm going to throw Trudeau under the bus as I do it, because I think everybody knows Trudeau's time in the party as the leader is over.
