MEDIA RELEASE --
Together, our hard work is paying off. Trudeau is projecting as low as FOURTH in national polls, and the rumours are swirling that he may prorogue Parliament in a haphazard attempt to hit "reset" on tricking Canadians into supporting his failed, far-left experiment.
That experiment has been a disaster for millions of Canadians; it's been a disaster for our national pride, our standing on the world stage, our values, our workforce, and our future generations.
The damage has been so vast, that even in British Columbia, where they are a week away from Election Day with advances polls open now, Trudeau's far-left woke ally, the disastrous, pro-drug David Eby, is at risk of a historic defeat -- and even losing his seat!
But these dangerous ideologues, these anti-civilizational, "post-national," de-growth fanatics won't stop working to make your life more expensive and your country less safe and prosperous until the bitter end, which is why the NCC's leading #FireTrudeau Fund matters, and why we won't stop targeting and turning MILLIONS of voters before the most crucial elections of our lifetime.
We have loads of impactful ads and advocacy to share in the weeks ahead, starting with this major feature in the National Post, and across the Postmedia network.
We encourage you to share this piece with your network, which serves as an olive branch for any voters left on the fence. To help us DOUBLE ITS IMPACT, we need your continued and cherished support.
Canadians have had to pay for Trudeau’s mistakes for far too long. With the election window now here, it’s time to return the favour.

Recent byelection blows to the Liberals in Toronto and Montreal strongholds are more than just isolated reversals, says National Citizens Coalition (NCC) president Peter Coleman. They represent a much broader sentiment among everyday Canadians that it’s time for Justin Trudeau to exit the national stage. While much of that sentiment has been distilled into two simple words — fire Trudeau — the NCC points out that it’s his policies that have done the real damage.
“The NCC has never been aligned with a particular political party,” Coleman says. “Our organization is one of the few in Canada that looks at the policies of each government and how they affect the average middle-class citizen who wants and deserves better. We found much to like in the policies of Jean Chrétien, but we’re not seeing that same stewardship of the country under the Trudeau government.”
It’s often an uphill battle to convince Canadians, who are generally optimistic and open-minded, that specific policies will not move the needle on issues they care about, and actually deteriorate their financial well-being over time. However, after nine years in office, many of the policies prioritized by Justin Trudeau have run their course and delivered the verdict to everyday Canadians that his priorities are not their priorities.
“The polls started turning a few years ago, and we now look at poll after poll that show negative numbers for the Liberal party across every demographic at levels we’ve never seen before,” Coleman says. “Young people, new Canadians and even longtime Liberal supporters are making the connection between government policies and hardships in their lives that they’ve never had to face and realizing that something needs to change.”
The NCC notes, for example, that Trudeau is motivated by an extremely narrow brand of climate activism that diminishes employment prospects and economic opportunities while starving the world of Canadian resources that could significantly reduce global carbon emissions.
Canada produces 1.6 per cent of the world’s carbon dioxide. A harsh carbon tax on individual Canadians is neither reducing that number nor improving the environment. At the same time, Canada’s abundant natural gas resources can be extracted using technology that achieves the lowest carbon intensity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants across the globe. That LNG could be exported to replace carbon-intensive coal energy in countries around the world. However, the current government makes it a priority to prevent those resources from benefiting Canadians and others.
“I’m all for reducing carbon,” Coleman says. “So, let’s make a business case for doing that, instead of taxing Canadians who are just trying to heat their homes or drive their kids to hockey practice. We have an incredible port in New Brunswick that could ship LNG to eager customers in Europe, India and Asia and create well-paying jobs for young people, while making a greater immediate impact on global emissions than anything we could do at home.”
The historically unaffordable cost of housing is another issue that’s convincing Canadians that government policies need to change. The NCC notes that the Trudeau government refuses to make the connection between wasteful government spending, rapid expansion of the money supply, and resulting rampant inflation and high interest rates that are making shelter unaffordable.
At the same time, the government’s immigration policies have become untethered from economic necessity and a recognition that these policies have unintended consequences on housing. While high immigration levels are not the only factor contributing to housing shortages and high rental costs, the NCC believes that setting reasonable targets will help ease those pressures over time.
An Angus Reid poll published in July notes that three in 10 Canadians (28 per cent) are giving serious consideration to leaving their province of residence due to housing affordability. That number is much higher (39 per cent) among people who have lived in Canada for fewer than 10 years.
“We believe immigration candidates should be selected under a policy of smart immigration that prioritizes the skill sets Canada needs, instead of setting unrealistic number targets,” Coleman says. “For Justin Trudeau, allowing ideology to dictate immigration policy is more important than the results of that policy, regardless of its impact on Canadians — including newcomers.”
Coleman says that Canadians prioritize security at home, a clean environment, housing they can afford and addressing issues such as mental health and homelessness.
“By any stretch of the imagination, Canada remains a wealthy country, even though it sometimes no longer feels like that,” he says. “We encourage Canadians to think less about which party they want to vote for, and more about the policies that will help the country achieve its priorities, goals and dreams.”
