Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation as Liberal leader comes just two weeks before Donald Trump takes office as U.S. president while threatening to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all imports from Canada on Day 1.
Trudeau said he will stay on as prime minister until his successor is chosen, creating the prospect that Canada will have a lame duck head of government just as its biggest trading partner hits its exports with steep tariffs.
The better conclusion is that we have to organize against fascism. We can’t depend on the odd Luigi to achieve anything alone. The value of actions like his is as a catalyst to working class solidarity and organized resistance.
Which will never happen. I wish it would. The only solution is the removal of billionaires and corporations who value profit over human lives.
Kill a billionaire, another takes his place. You have to make systemic change in order to actually remove billionaires from the equation. That requires a lot more than a bullet. Organizing will always be more effective.
