It has come to our attention that there has been speculation regarding the possibility of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointing himself to an open senate seat in Quebec. 

Some may view this as a bold and unexpected move, a demonstration of true leadership and power. But let us delve deeper into the potential consequences and implications of such a decision.

Imagine the scenario where Prime Minister Trudeau takes a seat in the Senate, a move that would undoubtedly raise eyebrows and garner attention on a global scale. On one hand, some may see this as a strategic and assertive move, solidifying his authority and influence in the political landscape. 

It may also be perceived as the ultimate boss move, showcasing his willingness to push boundaries and make bold decisions.

However, on the other hand, appointing oneself to the Senate could also be construed as controversial and self-serving. It may spark accusations of nepotism and a power grab, further tarnishing his reputation and credibility among the public and his political peers. 

It could also potentially undermine the integrity and impartiality of the Senate, raising questions about the separation of powers and checks and balances within the Canadian government.

In the end, whether Prime Minister Trudeau chooses to appoint himself to the Senate or not, it is important to note that there are certainly potential ramifications of such a decision.

Now imagine Trudeau appointing himself to the Senate – he’d quickly become a thorn in Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s backside if he were to win the upcoming election, which was a sure-shot until Trudeau resigned and Mark Carney entered the frame and now with Liberal poll numbers shooting straight up, that possibility for Poilievre is quickly evaporating as he’s running out of steam with his one-headed carbon-tax monster.

But if Poilievre was to win a minority or majority government, he’d have Trudeau leading the Senate revolt against him as none of his policies would get passed. Boom Trudeau is a Genius!
