Our American readers can be forgiven for not noticing how Trumpy the Conservative Party in Canada has become.
But they have. Here are just a few examples: A total charlatan is running for premier of Alberta later this month, and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, possibly the most unappealing person to head the party since Stephen Harper, has been copying Benedict Donald in all his non-glory — acting obnoxiously in Parliament, and making accusations that are completely unfounded in fact.
In short, this is not the time for Canada's Liberal Party to disarm itself by declaring that its most popular leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, should step aside. Au contraire: PMJT just announced that he intends to lead the Liberals to something no other Canadian leader has done for a century — win a popular mandate four times in a row.
We also love the fact that Justin talked about the "woke" obsession of Conservatives and then addressed Poilievre directly: "Pierre Poilievre, wake up!" Well done.
After his speech, Prime Minister Trudeau left for the coronation of King Charles III. Canada, after all, is still a member of the Commonwealth — and to disentangle itself from the monarchy would be, constitutionally, an arduous task. Don't expect it to happen any time soon. In the meantime, we cats salute PMJT, and we PURR.
