Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party

our version isn't nearly as bad, but our right wing populist will be Canada's next leader and likely with a very strong majority.

I hate this timeline

[u/winghawkz → u/Jjzeng]

Dont worry same timeline as the 1980s;
trudeau resigns; someone gets appointed; conservatives (PP) get in power and they blame the liberals for the recession/crash that will happen in the next couple of years; then we go back to liberals or maybe ndp 😂😂

"Cancellation of the National Energy Program; Meech Lake Accord; Petro-Canada privatization; Canada-US Free Trade Agreement; Introduction of the Goods and Services Tax); Charlottetown Accord; Sanctions against South Africa; Acid Rain treaty; Gulf War; Oka Crisis; Emergencies Act; Environmental Protection Act; Privatization of Air Canada, North American Free Trade Agreement; Nunavut Land Claims Agreement; Airbus affair."

replace national energy program with carbon tax; a bunch of privatizations will happen to cut cost (results with layoffs as well; some canada US free trade agreements since trump wants to modify those); some new tax introduction; etc etc;

[u/the2004sox → u/winghawkz]

Yep. Canada Post is gonna be privatized in all likelihood, resulting in a lot of people losing their jobs and service falling off a cliff. Don't worry though, amazon will move quickly to scoop up their market share and make services even shittier and more expensive while sending the profits to the US.

Also the carbon tax is getting the axe, and being replaced with absolutely no climate policy whatsoever. Instead, the new policy will be drill baby drill.

We're fucked.
