The writer is in Australia.
The man who went from ski instructor and kindergarten teacher virtually straight to being the Prime Minister of Canada has finally left the building. He resigned. But that was all for show. His party forced him out because the polls were diabolical. Go and read the Fraser Institute’s analysis of Canada’s economic performance after 10 plus years of Trudeau at the helm. When Justin took over from the Conservative Stephen Harper government in 2015 the per capita wealth and wages of Canada’s richest provinces compared well to all but nine or 10 US States. Today, wages and salaries are lower in every Canadian province compared to all 50 States, below even the poorest US States of Mississippi and Louisiana. Growth? Bad. Productivity? Woeful. Multiple quarters of GDP per capita decline. And this was assessed before Trump won last year’s November election, lest those with a bad case of TDS be tempted to blame the Orange Man. (As a further aside, a painful one, Canada’s economy is really bad. But Australia’s is worse than Canada’s on all these measures. Just sayin’ because you won’t hear it on the ABC.)
Trudeau loved to virtue-signal. He was a fully paid-up climate change catastrophist and stopped pipelines from being built to let Alberta’s oil and gas get to the ocean – the result today is that Alberta sells it to the US or to no one. Trump didn’t do that. Trudeau did. So a Net Zero cheerleader. Spent next to nothing on defence (meaning even less than we in Australia do as a percentage of GDP). He ran a massive immigration Ponzi scheme. And he was a thug – yes, a thug – during the Covid lockdown hysteria. Ask the truckers. The result of all the schools closing, paying people to do nothing, closing small businesses, borrowing and spending money in unheard of amounts, weaponising the police and more was that you got big time asset inflation, massive monies transferred from poor to rich and from young to old, even worse educational results, productivity killing ‘working from home’ and, well, things will basically be screwed up for decades because of lockdowns. (By the way, our Coalition government was as bad as, or worse than, Trudeau on all these fronts. All but a couple Coalition MPs during Covid should be hanging their heads in shame for the rest of their lives. They won’t. But they should.)
At any rate, reality caught up to pretty boy Justin. Renewable energy is ghastly expensive save for huge implicit and explicit subsidies – you need baseload power Mr Bowen. Spending nothing on defence in a Hobbesian world is stupid. Inflation was bad. Housing costs soared. The young were being screwed over. By November of last year his Liberal Party was 23 points behind Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives. And Trudeau led a minority government. The even further Left NDP party had the power to bring down Trudeau and force an election any time it wanted. Yet the NDP leader refused, even though his party had overtaken Trudeau’s and had every likelihood of forming the Official Opposition were there to be an election. (Poilievre’s much-repeated theory for why the NDP refused to act and bring down Trudeau was that if the government scraped along till this past February the NDP leader would trigger his gold-plated parliamentary pension – he’d be set for life. All one can say about that theory is that once no election could be held before the pension would trigger, the NDP leader announced he’d bring down the government.)
Too late. Trudeau resigned. He prorogued Parliament – which means he put it into a sort of suspended animation between the end of one session and start of a new one. This, in my view, was conventionally within Trudeau’s constitutional power – the remedy lying with the voters once the election is held. And a Canadian court recently upheld Trudeau’s power to do this. Just note, however, that when Boris tried to prorogue the UK Parliament to get Brexit through all 11 Remainer UK Supreme Court judges overturned three centuries of precedent and ruled – in a country with an unwritten constitution – that Boris could not do that. It was a disgraceful judgment. But recall my theory about bills of rights and today’s judicial elites: when you buy such an instrument (or asking them to interpret a written constitution) all you are buying is the preferences and worldviews of the unelected judiciary. Trudeau in his 11 years had appointed nearly all the Canadian judges. I predicted he’d win the proroguing case and he did. The difference in the two proroguing cases was whether the judges were with the politician or against. It’s that bad I’m afraid.
That takes us to today. Davos Man extraordinaire, former Canadian and British top central banker, Mark Carney has been parachuted in to be the new Liberal Party leader and therefore Prime Minister. Odds are that he’ll call an election for late April or early May. If he loses Carney is likely to break the 19th century record of 69 days for ‘shortest time as PM’. If he fails to win a seat he’ll be the only Canadian PM never to sit in Parliament.
So where do things stand? The polls have seen a Carney Liberal Party shoot way up from Trudeau’s 23 points behind to nearly level pegging. Remember, though, that twice in the past a long-serving, now unpopular Canadian PM (Trudeau Sr for the Libs and Brian Mulroney for the Tories) made way for new faces. Both times their replacements shot way up in the polls, indeed into the lead very briefly. It didn’t last. John Turner lost badly as Trudeau Sr’s replacement. Kim Campbell, who was put in after Mulroney, led the Tories to the worst election defeat in anglosphere history – from a big majority in a 270 plus seat legislature to two – yes, just two – seats in the whole house. Up till now, in other words, the voters have political parties sussed out when they try the old switcheroo at the last minute. It doesn’t work.
The wild card in all this is Donald Trump. Many Canadians are taking his jibes literally and nationalism has become a real thing in my native country. (Think for one minute, though, about whether a Republican President would really want to incorporate 38 million Canadian voters – so, another California and one that would be even more Left-wing than California itself – into the US. Bring Canada into the US and no Republican could win the Presidency for the foreseeable future. It’s patently obvious that Trump does not really want to make Canada the 51st state.) And the media focus on tariffs masks the hard truth that pursuit of Net Zero idiocies costs Canadians orders of magnitude more than any US tariffs will. Still, the Trump effect has thrown Poilievre quite a dilemma. His voting base would probably have half who love Trump and half who hate him. So it’s a very delicate highwire act he has to walk. But here’s Jimbo’s prediction. Poilievre will win a solid majority. Globalist Davos Man Mark Carney will be Canada’s shortest serving PM in history. That would be a fitting tribute to pretty boy Justin’s devastating decade in power.

How odd that I lived for half a century free from pandemics and for some bizarre reason now it’s one the of the biggest and most imminent threats we face, that apparently could happen every few years.
Odd. Very odd.
I wonder if there’s a correlation between the risk of pandemics and the increase in USA-sponsored bio-labs in various dodgy countries?
Just asking?
To be honest the most glaring cause and effect I’ve noticed is Bill Gates saying there was going to be a pandemic and then one being declared. He seemed so sure of it he went around the world warning everyone.
When they ran the ‘Event 201’ or whatever, war-gaming thing, they already knew that C-19 was out the lab and airborne, maybe earlier than Aug 2019..
I believe the UK is involved as well.
A comment I have made dozens of tomes here on DS.
Prior pandemic attempts occurred on 2004 (bird flu) and 2009 (swine flu). Unfortunately, for COVID, lessons had been learned from this abortive attempts and pandemic marketing was thus much more effective. The same people who helped to kill the swine flu hoax also spoke out against COVID. They were quickly sidelined as far right extremists and antisemites and the shit show just rolled on.
Don’t forget the 1976 swine flu & subsequent quacksine push in the US back in 1976.
Dr Wolfgang Wodarg led the effort regarding 2009 swine flu.
Anyone remember monkey pox




Even odder for someone who has lived for 3/4 of a century!
I’m just so pleased we have all this gain of function research going on to help prevent another one. It’s such a shame that Russia closed 31 bio labs in Ukraine last year.
Ministers have no intention of veto-ing the WHO’s attempted power-grab. This is just a pretence that they’re concerned about defending British Sovereignty.
You are correct in that assumption I’m afraid ! “The Dirty Rotten Scoundrel’s” in parliament & I mean every one of them ! will just let this come about !
It’ll be worth their while though.
Yeah if the were so worried about our health they would have dropped the covid jab, or not brought it in in the first place.

All bureaucracies are the same. They expand and seek more and more power and control. ——–This is all part of the drive to World Government, and the worrying thing is that the politicians all over the western world (except Trump) pander to this One World Government idea rather than to the people who actually vote for them.
Not Trump ! Ron De Santis is the man !! If Only




Six of us ffs ! Or is it the 77th showing their disapproval ??.
Ron de Santis is just another actor in the corrupt uniparty debacle. He has weakened bills in Florida which would have protected the citizens there against all health ’emergencies’, rewriting them just for covid which the MSM then promoted as a win for Florida.
His campaign is funded by the Bush Foundation.
No politician will ‘save’ us. Any who get into a position to even run for a position of power is chosen by the hidden actors behind this whole evil agenda.
So six MPs were ”alarmed” then. SIX!!! Captain Obvious says ”You’re screwed!”
So, exactly what we sceptics said when it was first announced, and were once more derided for spreading ‘conspiracy theories.
Been going on about this for months and it’s finally hit the MSM!
The World Council for Health has prepared a comprehensive Policy Brief that has been delivered to every MP in the House of Commons. It details the sweeping proposals put forward by the W.H.O., the loss of sovereignty and control of our own health and the sinister movement towards a global unelected, unaccountable government.
Should MPs allow the updated International Health Regulations to go through after being fully informed like this, it will be ceding our sovereignty. I think it would be tantamount to treason.
For more information on the W.H.O. and I.H.R., read James Roguski at stopthewho.com.
It will happen ! It’ll be a done deal , most MP,s won’t even check the detail !! REMEMBER not long back Teresa May went to Morocco & signed some bollocks treaty or other designating that there is no such thing as migrants etc we are all equal and can travel anywhere no probs !! ( while she was there two girls from Scandinavia were beheaded in the mountains ! NICE !
It is daunting. The odds may be stacked against us. But it is up to each and every one of us to do our best to stop this tyranny and look after one another. Maybe we will fail. Maybe we will succeed. At the end of the day, we are responsible for our own actions. When we have done our best, regardless of the results, we can at least be at ease with ourselves.
Ghandi got us out of India in 1947 using peaceful disobedience !
Or so the story goes. Britain pulled out of India because it was conjectured that the continuous loyality of the Indian Army couldn’t be counted on. A quote I remember was (paraphrase) “They’re loyal to us now, will the remain loyal in future?” However, I very much suspect there was another question here which was at least equally important: “We’re paying them now. Do we really want keep paying them forever?”, ie “Can’t we just handle them like all the old battleships, now that the war is over?”
The Telegraph says: Ministers are understood to be alarmed by plans to increase the WHO’s powers enabling its governing body to require countries to hand over the recipe of vaccines, regardless of intellectual property rights, and to counter misinformation.
Oh yes, alarmed! Of course they are. The recipe, that world beating jollop that has been dropped by the world because it caused very nasty actions including death while achieving sweet FA – that recipe? Hang on to the recipe at all costs! The Science must be followed and the whole tottering reputation of Oxford, The Lancet, the BMA, the Society of MIA Pathologists, the British Heart Foundation (what Atrial Fib?), Astra Zeneca, all those new medical Dames and the marvellous work of H.A.R.M. under Julie Fogg, must be shored up and bolstered. Hang on to the recipe and anyone who says it’s a recipe for death and multiple harms and denies it’s saved trillions of lives, please report yourself for misinformation incarceration.
Luckily for us, the caring Jeremy Farrah Fawcett (one of many new Brit conscript comrades) is now employed by the WHO after his sterling work on burner phones and the Zoonotic story at the start of the late unpleasantness and I’m sure his first care will be to preserve our Britannic recipe for those imminently expected ‘future generations’.
I wonder if the alarmed ministers have had a thought for health of the nation? Or to broaden it out, a thought about anything of concern to the electorate? Or if any minister would register alarm at anything except a threat to their own immediate financial concerns and those of our pitiful ‘health industries’.
God save the King!
3min video with Dutch MEP Rob Roos sums it up;
https://twitter.com/Rob_Roos/status/1661400401885667329
I note Roos studiously avoided mention of BMGF. That said, With his explanation, John Campbell’s recent evisceration of same and the WCH document sent to all MPs – let alone James Roguski’s monumental efforts – any of them who remain silent and/or do not vote against this power grab are traitors.
CCP and Bill Gates are the two main funders of the the WHO,so ours and other Governments are by signing this agreement handing over our countries to be ran by China and a meglomaniac.
Why does the WHO need to have a new treaty at all?, why does it ask for these colonising powers?. Look at the state of the world under their advice, bankrupt countries, economies destroyed, mental health issues, adverse effects from their much promoted gene therapy, lets not forget Monkeypox, that terrible disease that was so bad Tedros overuled the vote taken by the WHO itself to declare it was going to be the next Covid.
We pay high taxes to employ our own bunch of franky incompetant and corrupt health officials, as do other countries, my suggestion is disband the WHO, sack the current advisors, and instead use the Barrington declaration, the Hennagans etc as our advisors, we would all be in a much better position. Countries will share information and work together, they do not need a supra organisation to tell them what to do. Get rid of the WHO, and whilst at it the U.N too
It’s all going to their plan !!
The WHO is being set up to be the health service of the UN with NATO as it’s military wing for when the UN is the world government. They all need disbanding.
It goes beyond pandemics. I forget the exact wording, but Michelle Bachman reported the WHO are seeking to apply their powers to any global crisis, for example climate, misinformation.
Bill Gates, John Kerry et al are key players here as the WHO is being used to set up a global government.

“Ministers are understood to be alarmed”. Sorry? Which ministers? I can hear 6 MPs who are not ministers being alarmed but Andrew Mitchell the actual minister doesn’t sound alarmed at all. Far from it. He says he won’t let the UK be prevented from taking decisive action against pandemics. No worries, Andrew. The WHO will have us taking decisive action and then some.
The WHO will
imposerecommend trade and travel restrictions on those countries who will not cede sovereignty and play ball whenever the WHO dictates there’s a ‘health’ problem – real or imagined.What took them so bloody long?
“Responding to the concerns on Thursday, Andrew Mitchell, a Foreign Office minister, told the Telegraph that he would block any law that prevents the U.K. from setting its own health policy.”
Wasn’t it Andrew Mitchell who encouraged MPs to walk out at the start of Andrew Bridgen’s speech?
That’s him, operating under government instruction after No 10 discovered that they couldn’t buy Bridgen off.
There are no words bad enough to describe these people, the problem with the 6 MPs that wrote the letter is that they still think that they will be taken notice of by the minister.
I feel the need for my large pliers again.
I think people should be more concerned about funnelling an enormous amount of money into the WHO (5% of global health budgets) it can then utilize to promote so-called climate action (the health of the planet part of the One Health Strategy which is part of this) and other wokeries. Should this money ever start to flow, then every (US) leech with a (simulated) chip on his shoulder will seek to get a share of it for his pet cause. All od these good for nothing UN organizations need to be drained of funding and – preferably – be dismantled altogether.
As the former head of a regional German MI5 equivalent, LKA Thuringia, recently stated in an open letter he sent to all German MPs:
“Any MP who votes for this is thereby also committing treason under current law.”
He may need to watch his back.
The thing that COVID-19 made me reassess was where HIV/AIDS came from. The treaties we need are ones instigating a global ban on gain of function experiments and the destruction of all biological and chemical weapons.
Interesting you should say that, Fauci has had fingers in the AIDS/vaccine pie since the 1980s. Not a man to be trusted in any shape or form.
Yes, I remember back in the mid-80s in biology class, the mystery of the origin of HIV and AIDS was being talked about and one piece of speculation was that it leaked from a lab. On TV, it was even speculated that the Nazis created it in the 1940s to kill black people and gay people and that it took 30 years to become obvious.
Whatever the case, it emerged seemingly from nowhere in multiple variants and was the ‘bogeyman’ killer of the 80s and 90s with a terrible social stigma attached. Now many people who are HIV+ live longer than non-HIV+ people, thanks to the drugs available.
I hadn’t thought about HIV/AIDS for a long time until the panicked attempts to bury the COVID-19 lab leak speculation. Then I began to wonder…
I remember reading the work of an author who survived fascist Germany and he said that the longing for fascism was there long before it manifested. I think we are in that period control in that the most pervasive longing is the one for totalitiatianism, amongst about 80 percent of the people. A desire to have everything simplified and a few simple easy instructions to follow. We are going to have a serious challenge over the next few decades trying to oppose this force.
life, reality, truth, and justice are going to deliver a ‘terminal lockdown’ to this World Health Organisation and its genocidal apparatchiks
Are people finally waking up to this? The campaign against the WHO power grab have been going for well over a year. It appears it takes that long for politicians to notice.
What could possibly go wrong with an organisation funded by the CCP and Billy Boy (good friend of Epstein) Gates taking over our sovereignity
The last three years were a plandemic, not a pandemic. A man manipulated corona virus released to mankind. Perhaps the WHO could put effort into finding the source of this lab leak and ensure it never happens again. Why would they miss this step and jump straight to lockdown? This is the kind of incompetency that appears to be running riot in all our health agencies and governments.
Looking at the logo of the WHO – and the UN et al it seems we are witnessing the continuance of the Roman Empire. In fact the more you become aware of this, the more obvious it is. It was obvious at the Coronation with Penny Mordaunt’s Neptune Dress and the tiaras fashioned like laurels. The Telegraph wrote at length about the Sword of Mercy, the Curtana and its direct link to the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne. How the coronation robes resemble formal ancient dress in the late Roman Empire; the alb, supertunica and mantle. The Roman fasces, a nasty weapon used to crush enemies and opponents, appeared on the golden coach. This weapon is located on either side of the chair in the chamber of Congress in the USA whose entire governing system is redolent of the Roman Empire. Senate, Republicans, Democrats, and so on. The laurels dating from the Goddess Daphne are still to be seen everywhere in the world and are becoming the new symbol of global power – just as the Roman Empire had an insatiable appetite for hegemony, the accumulation of wealth and dominion over people. If there is nothing in this and it is all just a coincidence then that is fine – but the Roman Empire ran on slavery – and if one thing is clear it is that technology is making digital slaves of us all.
