Are You Ready for a Summer Election?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you in the mood for another election? According to an article written by Susan Delacourt for the Toronto Star, we could have one this summer. Her take is that Justin Trudeau may use the bump he is getting in the polls for standing up to Donald Trump, to call a snap election more than a year before the mandate of his government expires. The last time that was attempted was in 1990 when then Ontario Liberal Premier David Peterson went to the polls well before an election was required, when his popularity was at an all time high. He paid a price for that. He got dumped in favour of Bob Rae and the New Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

If there is any truth to this rumour, Trudeau will likely argue that he needs a new, strong mandate to deal with Donald Trump, especially on tariffs and NAFTA. It would be a specious argument at best, as he already has that mandate. Every political party in parliament, including the Bloc Quebecois has stood solidly with the Prime Minister in relation to his defence of Canada in the face of Trump\u2019s malignant attacks on him and on our country. On this particular matter, he also has the support of most Canadians as well as the support of every Premier of every province, including Premier-designate Doug Ford. There is absolutely no need to go to the people on this issue.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

Justin Trudeau may believe that he will have a better chance now of winning another majority government than he will 15 months from now and he could be right. After all, trade issues with the United States aside, the Trudeau government\u2019s polling numbers have not been great and for the first time, they are neck in neck with the Conservatives. But calling an election now would be seen to be nothing more than self serving and I believe that most Canadians would see through that.<\/p>\n

The next year, the final year of Trudeau\u2019s current mandate, will be one of the most important in Canada\u2019s history. It is during that year, dealing with tariffs on aluminum, steel, automobiles and what have you, not to forget NAFTA, that the true measure will be taken of our relationship with the United States and indeed with our trading partners around the world. It will determine the shape of our economy for years to come. It is at the end of this period of time that the Trudeau government should be held accountable for their stewardship of these vital issues and not at the beginning of a new mandate with a three-year cushion to continue governing if everything goes to Hell in a handbasket during the next 15 months.<\/p>\n

To be sure, dealing with Donald Trump is not an easy task and winning a trade war with the United States is likely not in the cards as long as he remains in office. The man after all, is an ego-maniac who changes his tune by the minute, has no regard for the truth and has an attention span that can be measured in seconds.<\/p>\n

As former Premier and federal Liberal Leader Bob Rae has said, \u201cBluster is not a sign of strength. Anger is not a sign of authority. Boasting is not a<\/em> sign<\/em> of achievement.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly, that is the Donald Trump the world has to deal with. It is not just sad, it is scary. This is a man who self- identifies with demagogues like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un while he dumps on trusted allies of the United States who have stuck with the United States through thick and thin. This is a man who holds young children hostage from their parents, in order to force Congress to pay for a wall on the southern border, which he promised would be paid for by the Mexicans. And this is the man who has the sole ability to launch a nuclear missile for whatever reason he may choose. Scary doesn\u2019t even touch it.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

Mike Smith is a jockey. You wouldn\u2019t know him except he recently rode Justify, <\/em>to a Triple Crown win in the Belmont Stakes, a really big deal in horse racing. When asked if he would accept an invitation to the White House, to honour his triumph, Smith is reported to have said that if he wanted to see a horse\u2019s ass, he would have finished the race in second place. I cannot think of any President of the United States in my lifetime that has been held in such disrespect around the globe, if not at home. But this is the reality with which we are dealing.<\/p>\n

Justin Trudeau and his government have tried diplomacy when dealing with the United States on trade issues. So far it hasn\u2019t worked, primarily because diplomacy by its nature is incompatible with knee-jerk reactions, reversals and rejections, fired off at every turn of the wheel. So now, Justin Trudeau has taken a stand and told Donald Trump Canadians will not be pushed around. He was right to do that. But he would be wrong to call a pre-emptive and premature election to bolster his position with the United States. For one thing, It wouldn\u2019t work. Trump would simply take credit for interrupting the election cycle in Canada. As well, if Trudeau were re-elected, he would say it was a signal that Canadians were not friends of the United States. It would do nothing to improve our negotiating position with them.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Justin Trudeau was handed a mandate to lead Canada for four years. That time is not yet up. On this issue, when it comes to dealing with Donald Trump, Canadian\u2019s have the Prime Minister\u2019s back and they have clearly indicated that. Calling an election now, would simply be seen as the height of opportunism.<\/p>\n

Justin Trudeau just needs to do the job he has already been given. It is the next year that will count.<\/p>\n
