Former Liberal deputy prime minister John Manley doubts the major spending geared at a millennial and Gen Z audience in the 2024 Federal Budget will be enough to keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power once election time rolls around.
“I subscribe to what I call the Seinfeld theory of political longevity,” John Manley told West Block host Mercedes Stephenson.
“Seinfeld, great show, lasted nine seasons. And if you think in terms of modern political history in Canada, think back to Brian Mulroney: nine seasons, Jean Chretien: 10 seasons, Stephen Harper: nine seasons,” he said, referencing the years they spent in power.

As an educated person, you just can't expect to continually back a foreign power based in Switzerland over your own people while arguing with them everytime they call you out and expect to have a long sucessful carreer as a politician. In America Al Gore couldn't sucessfully push WEF's agenda so he went to work for them directly. Maybe thats what Trudeau needs to do. That way he is happy and the citizens of Canada can be also.
Thank you Canada for showing us what does not work…
Liberal/NDP and Global News are agents Communist Party of China, Putin and HAMAS/ISIS, was proved
Hey, it’s 2024, time to beat some records. Let’s give Trudeau another five years. God know none of his opponents are worth voting for
Defund this media and jail them
Seinfield went out as the number one show on TV and NBC begged Jerry to make more…….
There was nothing enjoyable while turdo was p.m.
Thankfully the young are starting to see what a bribe is and realize their futures are in danger.
Let's talk about the fact that Finance Minister Freeland has held a chair at the WEF board of directors table in Geneva since 2019, and how this obvious conflict of interests never gets challenged in Parliament, or reported on anywhere in the Canadian Press.
FYI… We will be getting shadowbanned, when we say things like that… here.
It is not that we are bored of this guy after 9 seasons. We despise this guy and realize his show shouldn't have been aired 9 years ago.
Trudy's our Clown Minister, but Seinfeld was funnier! Freeland is no Elaine either!
Other parties need to give us something to vote for if they want a change. Seinfeld is still a great show today.
He never should have made it to the starting line-up given his complete lack credentials for the job…and now even his fans can see how stupid it was to elect on looks/name.
Trudeau shouldn't have made it past the pilot episode, let alone get 9 seasons.
I love that former politicians can look at this objectively, and leave the party loyalty aside for once, and recognize failure.
The fact that the Liberal party don't have the guts to kick Trudeau out themselves, shows just how spineless and weak they really are… And this is the party that's sadly running and ruining our country!
I hope trudy stays around for one more election. That will guarantee we can finally get some reasonable adults in government. Not ideological, tax and spend climate fanatics.
ENJOYED THE SHOW????? HELL, I wanted to change the channel 8 years ago!!!
This is Trudeau's last festivas Celebration ??
Sorry….no such thing as an "ex-politician"!
Trudeau is a narcissist doesn’t care what anyone thinks and only cares about himself! Nobody matters except Justin! Canada can’t get rid of him fast enough!
Trudeau stayed in as long as he did cause he had help rigging the elections
Go woke go broke..
Justin should NEVER have gone into politics
We deserve Trudeau – we have been out of touch with reality for so long that an out of touch leader and his cronies will finally drive some sense into us.
We need the media to call for a non confidence vote. If you people actually care about canada and canadians, you will push for an election!!
