POLITICS ANYONE?

Well, Donald Trump has now taken the oath of office, so the U.S. will have 4 years of this President. It will be interesting to see how far Trump goes with his threats.
 
And as for us Canucks, there will be a general election coming on or before October 25th this year. The Liberals are picking a new leader, which will take place on March 9th, following which whoever is selected will lead the party into a general election. I originally figured Chrystia Freeland had this sewn up, but then she went and quit her government posting which may come back to haunt her: they are already saying she shows no loyalty to a government she’s part of, a label that will be hard to shake. And she has to somehow break from the Trudeau policies which she was a part of, but now wants to say are problems. Hmmmm… Meanwhile, Mark Carney gets to say he was not a part of the government that made these policy decisions, which may mean he has a clear path to the leadership. Have to say after watching him on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show last week, he’s impressive. If you missed it, you can catch the YouTube event here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs8St-fF0kE
 Of course, Pierre Poilievre of the Conservative Party will be doing his "badmouth" things against the new Liberal leader. 
However you look at things, it’s gonna be an interesting year!!
