Why Trudeau Called an Election Now

Whether anyone reads this blog I sometimes doubt. Google supplied stats indicate an all time hit count of just over one million. But daily totals fluctuate in what seems a meaningless fashion, from practically zero to a thousand or more. But even when the daily count is high (relatively speaking, that is), reader comments, if there are readers, are few and far between. Not that I care greatly. I write to find out what I should think.

However, reader's comments, other than the spam variety, are certainly welcome, and today Unknown's comment provides a hook to hang some thoughts. 

The comment:

"I don't get the election call"

Which prompts this response:

To call a premature election without declaring a rational justification means either:

1. That Trudeau believes his chances are better now than they will be at any time in the next two years,

 or 

2. That Trudeau wants a full four-year mandate for whatever undeclared plan he has for Canadians. 

or 

3. Both of the above.

Under the first heading, which is to say the assumption that things are about to get a lot worse, we can anticipate:

 (a) full Covid immune escape, followed by forcible injection of everyone with top-ups, back-ups, long-stops or whatever the Hell they call the next few rounds of futile, potentially toxic, and quite possibly sterilizing jabs. 

(b) In addition, we're gonna see raging inflation, rising from the current maybe 10 to 20 percent (bought potatoes the other day for $1.99 a pound -- and I remember the days of childhood when spuds were but a penny a pound); to a low accelerating hyper-inflation rate of say 50 to 100%.

(c) Plus, an imploding housing market as interest rates start following the inflation rate and all those families that leveraged to the max to get a home, a place to raise a family, go bankrupt as their mortgage payments rise ten, twenty, fifty and more than 100 percent. 

Under the second heading, there's the coming "Great Reset (to use the terminology of the perps.), meaning death to tens and hundreds of thousands of small Canadian businesses, while the globalist corporations pick up assets for pennies on the dollar and take over the business that occupied the small business space.  

If that is what we are about to see, it will take time for the bastards to grind the little guys down and force them onto the dole, but four years of it should insure an irreversible transformation of the economy.

Trudeau About to Call Election?

Québec Newspaper: Trudeau likely to call May election:

The Suburban: Is Justin Trudeau really relaxing in Florida this week to recharge his batteries and forget about the SNC Lavalin scandal? Or is he getting ready to hit the road for a re-election campaign? Several good sources tell me that Trudeau will soon pull the trigger on an early May election. It makes a lot of sense. He cannot have this story* follow him for the next six months. So after his party tables a good news budget, he will tell Canadians that he did the right thing by asking Jody Wilson-Raybould, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General at the time, to intervene in an ongoing criminal prosecution case against SNC Lavalin. ——— * The story, that is, of his determination to overrule the independence of the Attorney General in order to give Québec-based engineering giant, SNC-Lavalin, a pass on prosecution for systematic resort to swindling and bribery.

David Lametti, Justin Trudeau's accommodating replacement for attorney general Jodie Wilson-Raybould, can hardly order the Director of Public Prosecutions to grant SNC-Lavalin a remediation agreement during the run up to an election. The Liberals would be unable to outrun the stink. But waiting until October, the heretofore expected election month, may be unacceptable to SNC, who seem to be impatient for action now. Thus, for Trudeau, who for whatever reason, seems irrevocably committed to SNC's interest, the only option may be to call the election now, and do the deed for SNC immediately afterwards, that's assuming he wins another four-year mandate, God help us.
