Justin Trudeau Resigns As Canadian Prime Minister

UPDATE:

Maybe he isn’t joking.

Lately, I have been comparing the present state of the American liberal ruling class after Trump’s victory in the 2024 election to the Southern Bourbons after the Civil War, and the victory of Elon Musk and Silicon Valley to the triumph of the railroads and industry in Reconstruction and the Gilded Age.

In a sense, “Civil War 2” is behind us now. The Trump era was a rebellion against the liberal ruling class that has dominated the country since the New Deal. Trump and the MAGA insurgents won. The fighting between the liberal elites and populist counter-elites didn’t take place on 19th century battlefields. Liberals are a race of lawyers. The fighting between the two sides, which began with Russiagate and the Mueller probe and ended with Jack Smith withdrawing the J6 case, took place in courtrooms. Violence isn’t necessary for one establishment to replace another. That’s what happened in 1933. We experienced a peaceful regime change when FDR and the liberals took over during the Great Depression.

The downfall of the American liberal establishment is now reverberating around the world. It is like the head of the snake has been cut off or has disappeared. Justin Trudeau is now officially out in Canada. Keir Starmer is on the ropes in the UK. The German government has collapsed. The Freedom Party is poised to take power in Austria. The Atlantic is comparing it to the fall of Soviet communism in 1989.

The Atlantic:

“As I witnessed the despair and incomprehension of liberals worldwide after Donald Trump’s victory in November’s U.S. presidential election, I had a sinking feeling that I had been through this before. The moment took me back to 1989, when the Berlin Wall came down, signaling the beginning of the end of Soviet Communism and the lifting of the Iron Curtain that had divided Europe since the end of World War II. The difference was that the world that collapsed in 1989 was theirs, the Communists’. Now it is ours, the liberals’.

In 1989, I was living within a Warsaw Pact nation, in my final year of studying philosophy at Bulgaria’s Sofia University, when the world turned upside down. The whole experience felt like an extended course in French existentialism. To see the sudden end of something that we had been told would last forever was bewildering—liberating and alarming in equal measure. My fellow students and I were overwhelmed by the new sense of freedom, but we were also acutely conscious of the fragility of all things political. That radical rupture turned out to be a defining experience for my generation.

But the rupture was even broader—on a greater global scale—than many of us realized at the time. The year 1989 was indeed an annus mirabilis, but one very different from the way Western liberals have framed it for the past three decades. The resilience that the Chinese Communist Party demonstrated in suppressing the pro-democracy movement in Tiananmen Square turned out to be more consequential than the fall of the Berlin Wall. For Russians, the most important aspect of 1989 was not the end of Communism, but the end of the Soviet empire, with the withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan. It was thus the year that Osama bin Laden proclaimed the jihadists’ victory over the godless U.S.S.R. And 1989 was also when nationalism began to reclaim its political primacy in the former Yugoslavia. …”

We haven’t seen the full implications of what happened in 2024 yet.

Note: If my analogy is correct, American liberals won’t completely disappear. Instead, they will be relegated to a nuisance as subordinate regional elites like the Bourbons. Federalism will allow them to carve out their own social policy in the Northeast and West Coast as has already happened with abortion. The dominant section of the country, which is now the Sunbelt, will move forward.

  1. Austria.

    That happened very quickly, within a few days.

    The “everybody but the FPO and Kickl” gambit seemed like it was going to succeed. But suddenly fell apart. The OVP (center-right cucks) leader and current chancellor quit. The temporary OVP leader, a Liz Cheney analogue, made me think that an FPO/Kickl led government was still far away, and that the firewall gambit was still possible. Now, today, even that person has relented, and it looks like Austria is soon going to have an FPO + OVP government with Herb Kickl as chancellor. Kickl being analogous to Björn Höcke here, relative to his own positioning within the AfD-analogue OVP.

      • An AfD majority government in Germany would be the real political earthquake. Marine Le Pen’s movement needs to form a new government in France also. The central issue in the West is that we are being overrun by the Third World; the wogs must go back to their own shithole countries.

        It will take financial ruin to pry The Usual Suspects from the levers of power they have controlled for more than a century in the U.S. That also must happen for any true reform to take place. With all the unpayable debts, both government and private, financial crises can’t be far away.

  2. You rate Trump as far more transformative than I do and also overlook the fact that economic leftist has been dead since Reagan. Social liberalism has trucked on, but economic leftism died off – with Sanders being a threat to bring it back.

  3. Trudeau did not resign as prime minister. He resigned as the party leader. He will remain prime minister until the next election.

  4. This is not victory. They just haven’t launched their counter assault yet.

    Those people will not go away but they will fight to the end. They have nothing to lose and nowhere to go.

    From 200K a year DEI job to Mcdonald waitress ? From 3 floor mansion to homeless shelter ?
    Absolutely no. They will fight.

    • I agree Juri.
      I’m hoping you’re right Brad.
      The Judeo Left are totally victorious. Our nations are in shambles. The huge majority of our people think & act like Jews. Degenerates.
      All of our institutions are controlled by them. Even our Churches , Catholic, Protestant, & Orthodox.
      I recently saw a series of old videos of people from around 1900 in England, New York, Portugal, & Rome.
      The most striking difference to me was how modest the women were, they all had their heads covered, they all dressed very modestly.
      We have lost so much.
      I personally think Trump was brought in to try & get the population to buy back into the system, get the whites to join the military & go fight for Israel , or against the Russians . A Reagan 2.0
      But unlike the 80’s when Reagan took over , the U.S. is basically a third world country with Nukes.

    I still can’t help wondering what the little cocksucker is pulling.

    • Vickey above is correct. He didn’t actually resign. Fidel Jr. said he would consider resigning as PM of Soviet Kanuckistan. Naturally, the gaslight media were immediately on the fake announcement like flies on a fresh dog turd. Not a few morons in the “conservative” media parroted the idiocy.

    • See comment by Vickey above: Trudeau is still PM until the next election. He has resigned only as leader of the Liberal Party.

      The Conservative Party of Canada is no better, nor is the NDP. They are a Uniparty, same as Dem & Rep in the US. The conservatives say some nice things, like Trump, but it is doubtful they’d carry them out.

      The Conservative party of Canada has recently transformed itself into your usual hypocritical civic nationalist bunch, whereas until recently they were openly full-bore liberals at a slightly slower speed. Their leader, Pierre Poilievre, recently had a long conversation with none other than Jordan Peterson. It is on youtube. So, that should tell you something. Unfortunately, it looks as if the conservatives could win the next election because of Trudeau’s unpopularity.

      There is a fairly new, populist, anti immigration, pro-freedom political party in Canada called People’s Party of Canada. Their leader is Max Bernier. They have no seats in Parliament but interest is growing, I am told.

  7. The intellectual rot is far more advanced in Canada than in the US. I saw some video called “North America’s Coldest Major City, Why Would Anyone Want to Live There” about some guy who went to Winnipeg and toured around and talked to people. He ran into two normal looking college girls, not blue haired pierced types, just normal clean girls and they warned him about crime around the University area. Evidently they have the same tent city fentanyl/meth derelicts like on the west coast of the US…why would you be a bum in a tent somewhere it gets 40 below??? But just to illustrate the lack of clear logical thinking in one of the girls brains when the guy asked about “drugs” she said about “the unhoused” that “it’s so stressful living that way that they turn to drugs to mediate the pain” Seriously? As if being a bum in a tent comes first and THEN these clean cut homeless go out and try drugs? Do liberals not understand that “homelessness” is the late stage of a downward spiral of substance abuse? Really? White women are so gullible.
