How could you miss Canada's Trudeau on your list of unpopular leaders. The man who jails people who offend him and cancels their ability to use their banks. If ever their was a "misguided leader" he should be at the top of the list. Why isn't he? Because the media is state owned for one reason and too many people too far apart so their is no sense of unity on major issues. So far!

I concur, given I'm a canuck and presently living in Croatia. Canada is a sad state of affairs. The prime minister here is also not well liked in fact, he's had several late night visits at his residential home late last year by 50 or so "local" residents. Pacing the block, authorities questioned the reasons inhabiting the prime minister's locale in the early morning hours.

How can a guy who can’t read a teleprompter properly, and doesn’t know what day it is, have a 38% job approval rating? Furthermore, said guy hasn’t made a single decision since being (s)elected as President. All proof positive that large scale democracies, even constitutional republics, can’t be kept, as Benjamin Franklin suspected.

Biden is nothing more than a brain dead mouth piece and puppet for the left.

9.1% Inflation, baloney. Went to county dump. Minimum charge was $15. Now $20. That is 33.33% increase. 10 inch square basket of peaches at road side market $15.99. About 2 lbs. lots of things up + 20%

My parents and brother escaped communist Hungary and arrived on the west coast of Canada after a short stay in Great Britain back in 1957. I was born in Vancouver and for the most part we flourished with some bumps along the way. My father is a staunch conservative and he relished having lively discussions with friends and customers as he ended up living in a an area of British Columbia populated by left-unionists. He always says how grateful he is for living in Canada. He was part of 3 successful businesses and made others very wealthy with his knowledge. Last December, my father sold his house and most of what he had and moved back to Hungary with his wife. At 94, this was a big move and he always said that he wanted live out his life in Canada in the house he built himself... he is now happy being back in the country that he had to flee from. I went back with them to help with move and spent 4 months in Hungary myself...a country that is proud to wave their flag as opposed to here in Canada where waving the Canadian flag is a sign of racism. misogyny and white supremacy according to Trudeau. I applied for Hungarian Citizenship back 2016 and it is by far one of the smartest things I have done. I am back on the west coast of Canada attending to business, family & friends... September I go back to one of the last countries that is opposed to the woke, progressive left freaks running the world. As far as I'm concerned, my father fled Canada for the same reasons why he fled Hungary back in 1957...May God Help Canada and the Great Canadian Ostrich Brigade.

LOL. Who runs that poll. I’d say the chances of Bidan’ approval rating being at 38 are equal to the chance that CPI is 9.1.

We have a bunch of phoney in the White House that going mess up the people if they don’t wake up to what’s going on today cause we have politicians who don’t care about the people and we have a so called leader who don’t know which way is up in which the people did not vote for and we have people we never voted for making the evil rules.

He was at 40% approval rating when I checked this morning, having recovered from a low of 29% back on June 21, fwiw...

Canadians love their leaders because they love being told what to do, no matter how nonsensical. As a Canadian, I see this everyday, everywhere. Not to worry, my Florida bolthole beckons! (And I’m not the on,y one, many canucks are headed south, even the hockey is better, at least in terms of winning)

Sorry folks - Florida is FULL! Stay away, far far away.

PS - you can have RdS in 2028, once we are done with him...

The Great State of California is all in with the next great President of the United States. El Hefe

Gavin Newsome a leader of the most dysfunctional state in the nation which always has led the

rest of the nation by 20 years in failure. What happens in California will come to DC soon.

Do not believe that the Dems running Biden, and engineering the destruction of the "middle class" are stupid. They want "power"! This is clearly being done on purpose and without a strong middle class America is finished! But do wonder who the "elites" believe is going to support them then, millions of uneducated illegal aliens? These elites may have an education of sorts, but no "common sense" or "street smarts" came with it.

I have to check my wallet to be sure I can afford to drive to the next town to get cat food. There is none that my finicky cat will eat in my home town. So now I read how the G20 financial ministers and Janet Yellen are proclaiming inflation is their top priority, from their meeting in Bali. Sorry, my sympathy meter for these parasites, and their message, is pegged at zero.

And lets not forget the "Green Energy Disaster" that will make us all poorer which it already has

to Ghana, Netherlands, South Africa and France so far. It appears that Texas is also having a

problem with it since they are having brown outs and asking their citizens to cut back on their air conditioners and high energy appliances.

Here in New Zealand, where do I start.

Our Covid response looks as though it is heading to the too hard basket. To be consistent we should be going into lockdown but the gummit knows that politically it wouldn't be palatable.

Schools are pouring out students, well the ones that still go to school and there is quite a few less than there used to be, that are basically illiterate, can't write and struggle with simple arithmetic, let alone maths.

In their attempt to centralise everything and solve the insoluble problems within they have amalgamated all our hospital boards into one big entity called Health NZ. Hundreds of millions spent but don't hold your breath waiting for miracles. The health minister can't or won't say the word "crisis" in public for which he has been roundly and deservedly ridiculed. 4000 nursing vacancies but they won't fast track the path to residency for nurses. No worry if you know how to create computer games though.

Our technical institues (minor universities that used to supply us with tradesmen but now supply us with "graduates") have been amalgamated into one large entity. The CEO is now on gardening leave for personal reasons and there has been a budget blowout because they haven't got enough enrolments. No connection with borders being closed though.

They are attempting to set up a small number of 3 waters entities, (drinking, waste and drainage) by taking over the existing structures from the local authorities. That has polarised a few populations.

The rebate scheme designed to push everyone in to EVs is a mess. Two cars with VIN numbers only one digit apart. One got a rebate and the other a bill. Apparently , according to authorities, the problem is only minor and will be fixed soon. One car salesman retorted that of the 100 cars on his lot 12 had the wrong rebate. A hacker must have inserted a random number generator in the program that calculates the rebates.

Competency is having supply chain issues as it has become very hard to find these days.

I could go on.

This stuff drives me crazy! I am not a PHD economist, but I did have Econ101 and it said that to many dollars chasing to few products would be the definition of inflation. Everything you guys have predicted has come to pass, for Bill, it's been awhile, but still sound reasoning. As youngsters, we were taught self reliance, saving, low debt. The greatest thing about Covid is that it exposed globalization for what it is, a mistake. I don't want to pay $5.00 a gallon for gas, but if I have to, I want it go to a neighbor to feed his family and buy a house, and maybe, some of what I produce. I do not begrudge buying inexpensive things from China or Mexico, but is it not evident to everyone that you must maintain a degree of self reliance. Anyway, this stuff drives me crazy!! PS When gold goes down and Bitcoin goes up, that drives me crazy too!

In my neck of the woods the PM has just fallen on his sword. It was much deserved but he was pushed onto it by the controlled media. I wonder what WEF shill will replace him. There is a free markets enthusiast named Kemi Badenoch who would get my vote, however she voted in favour of vaccine passports just like the rest of them.
