We predicted on these pages and elsewhere several weeks ago that Trumpism is an international phenomenon, and that arrogant and self-serving leaders from across the globe would be tossed out of office in favor of pro-people populists.

We just didn’t think the dominoes would start falling so fast.

Justin Trudeau, the hapless Prime Minister of Canada, is resigning because his public approval rating has tanked to  22% – below Nixon’s at the height of Watergate.

Trudeau was most reviled during nine years in office for being an authoritarian bully.

Last year, the Canadian Federal Court ruled that his unprecedented shutdown of the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests against COVID restrictions was unlawful and unconstitutional.

Trudeau granted the police powers close to martial law to crack down on the protestors. He used this to freeze or seize the bank accounts of people donating to the Freedom Convoy.

His progressive governance also wrecked the economy. His legacy is: rents have soared, wages are stagnant, crime has climbed and the federal debt has doubled during his rule. Canada’s per capita  income has fallen to below 70% of what it is in the U.S. The average Canadian is now poorer than the average resident of Alabama, America’s fourth poorest state.

He was a climate change, anti-fossil fuel fanatic in a country rich with oil and gas. Is there any country in the world that should fret about slightly warming temperatures less than Canada?

Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party, should propose a massive Trumpian tax cut.

Britain, you’re next.
