To respond to Joe's misunderstanding as to why Trudeau chose now to leave:
The Foreign interference report is due out later this month, many suspect that the whole reason why the Conservatives are so utterly desperate to hold an early election is that they themselves are compromised the most (we've already had testimony that confirmed Poillievre was helped by the Indian government to get his leadership role in the PC party, even as Patrick Brown who was a frontrunner got conveniently banned from running due to a scandal that later proved to be utter rubbish. Brown testified that he doesn't think the India interference played a role in his losing out, but I suspect he's just trying not to burn his bridges with the PC party so he can try again).
The news has under-reported the fact that Poilievre keeps saying No to getting his security clearance so that he can read the confidential reports that Trudeau, May, and Singh are able to. Why? Well mostly likely he would fail to get that clearance because there is something in his past that is incriminating (or as some have pointed out, his wife's past related to her father). He seems very adamant about not getting it using any flimsy excuse he can.
Now a key point: if he were to become Prime Minister, he would get automatic security clearance without having to undergo an investigation, which again I think he would otherwise fail. And he could presumably stall or bury the release of the foreign interference report as the PM.
Now that Singh has backstabbed the Liberals and signaled that he was going to vote alongside the Reform Party (errr, the "Conservatives") for no confidence, this could have triggered an early election that might allow Mr PP to become the new PM. By proroguing government the way Trudeau has, there's no chance for Singh to bring down the government before the Foreign Interference report can come out. And when it does, a lot of voters may see Mr "slogan boy" and his party of far-right morons in a very different light.
Trudeau's not a fool, he knows there's been non-stop interference in our political system for years from Russia, China, and India. And that he's been the target of insane lies spread on TikTok (to influence young people to turn against him), and on Twitter and Facebook. He's taking a very smart route to ensuring other Canadians get a chance to see just how widespread that interference has been, by preventing an early election. And I would recommend people pay good attention to it before we wind up with our own Trump Lite running our country into the ground.
