The political tremors from the Republican victory in the United States are shaking the foundations in Canada, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces criticism from People's Party of Canada Chief Maxime Bernier. Bernier sharply criticized Trudeau's immigration stance, highlighting the urgent need to adapt to new conservative winds blowing across the continent.

In a fervent address, Bernier articulated a vision for Canada that includes slashing government spending, reducing taxes, and abolishing inefficient climate policies. He argued that without these changes, Canada risks losing out to the U.S. in economic competitiveness and might face a dire brain drain scenario.

Bernier did not shy away from critiquing Trudeau and other political figures for their silence on Khalistani extremism, claiming that such inaction fuels the growth of radical ideologies. His unsparing comments drew applause from some Canadian communities, urging politicians to prioritize public safety and integrity over compromising political appeals.
