Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ranted on the floor of Parliament against his main political rival Pierre Poilievre for not denouncing an endorsement by Alex Jones.
After Poilievre called out Trudeau’s radical policies that decimated Canada’s economy and squeezed Canadians with soaring rent and grocery prices, Trudeau launched into a bizarre ad hominem rant of his own against Poilievre’s character.
“While the conservative leader continues with his misinformation and disinformation, the reality is the Parliamentary budget office officer said that 8 out of 10 Canadians do better with our price on pollution and the Canada carbon rebate,” Trudeau began.

Trudeau then condemned “conspiracy theorist and liar” Alex Jones’ recent endorsement of the conservative leader.
“But speaking of misinformation and disinformation, any responsible leader that receives an endorsement and support from proven conspiracy theorist and liar Alex Jones would’ve immediately denounced that,” Trudeau said to an eruption of boos.
“But that’s not what the leader of the opposition did, he did absolutely nothing because those kinds of endorsements fit within his political strategy,” he added as his fellow Liberal MPs cheered.
Jones last week expressed his support for Poilievre on X in response to his characterization of Trudeau as an “illiberal” tyrant to “wants to control everything” from bank accounts to speech in Canada.
“Been following this guy for years and he is the real deal! Canada desperately needs a lot more leaders like him and so does the rest of the world,” Jones posted.

Conservatives are leading over the Liberals by 18%, and have been ahead in the polls for nearly two years in the face of Trudeau’s crippling economic policies that include a new carbon tax.
Many Canadians have gone viral on social media sharing their horror stories about the skyrocketing cost of living:
“Is anyone else feeling very worried about the future for us as Canadians with the cost of living?”
“It’s paycheck to paycheck even on a 2 person income”
“Just feeling very hopeless in this situation”
“How are single people surviving in this economy?”

The economic reality has become so dire that a recently leaked (and heavily redacted) RCMP report warns the Canadian government to expect civil unrest once citizens realize how totally screwed their economic situation is.
“The coming period of recession will…accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations,” the report reads. “For example, many Canadians under 35 are unlikely ever to be able to buy a place to live.”
But since Trudeau can’t defend his policies against the hard reality of everyday citizens’ lived experiences, all he can do is invoke Alex Jones to smear his top political opponent.
