So wonderfully stupid.
Such a blatant case of hate speech.
So brilliantly debunked.
So brilliantly debunked.
And its worth noting the remarks of that highly articulate African from Québec. His view is consistent with the finding of a Leger poll that, among more than 2000 recent immigrants to Canada, 30 percent expect to leave the country within two years.
Why?
The most commonly stated reason: "the current leadership."
Yet Trudeau's preposterous lies went over big when he repeated them in the European Parliament:
Time for someone to launch an action against Trudeau for hate speech. Conviction plus a few months in jail might curb his insouciant, indeed Hitlerian, lying.Related:
Number of people who left Canada last year at almost 50-year high And that excludes all unvaxxed who are prohibited from leaving the country by plane, train, or boat. Canada's exit rules are now as tyrannical as those of the former Soviet Union. That is why Canada's Prime Ministerial Dictator, Justin Trudeau, waged war against participants in the Truckers' peaceful Ottawa protest, equating parking offenses with an attempt to overthrow the state. No questioning or criticism of Our Great Leader is tolerated.
But Canadians are mostly a foolish lot. They call themselves liberals, so it is inconceivable to them that their Liberal government is capable of behaving as viciously as any far right extremist government headed by an absolute dictator. In fact that is what it is doing right now. Let's Go Trudeau.
It's hard for me to gauge the reaction to Trudeau. There was, it seems to me, considerable popular support for the truck drivers, as well as sufficient press coverage of their peacefulness and basic decency.
ReplyDeleteThat woman who spoke in front of the European Congress (sorry, didn't catch her name) did have access to a global audience and has been heard the world over.
Trudeau doesn't have powers of censorship sufficient to block dissent and harsh criticism. Therefore he is caught in his lies, is he not?
But on the other hand, there's no concerted actions to get rid of him. If Trudeau was indeed caught in his lies, it seems to me a lot of people would be thinking he has to go.
Thus, I am confused.
At this stage, Trudeau's future seems uncertain. His deal with the socialist NDP promises a long lease on power. But that's provided the deal is kept. However the Liberal party is a seize-the-middle-ground party that will lose support on the right by association with the socialist NDP. Meantime, the NDP may lose support on the left by associating with the Liberals.
DeleteRight of center liberal supporters can move to either the Conservative Party or, if they are inclined to libertarianism, they might move to the up and coming People's party. Oddly, the People's party, by virtue of its stance against Covid tyranny and its unwavering support for the truckers could take many votes from the NDP.
For the Liberals, who scored slightly fewer votes at the last election than the incredibly badly led Conservative Party, any weakening of their already limited base could lead to open revolt of liberal MPs against a low IQ and dangerously megalomaniacal leader.
And Singh, the NDP leader, is surely no more secure than Trudeau. Most NDPers identify more closely with truckers than with liberals so this coalition must make them queasy.
Three years, therefore, seems an unduly long time for a Lib-NDP coalition to last. My prediction is that Trudeau will be compelled, kicking and screaming, to step down as PM to make way for Chrystia Freeland, the grand-daughter of WW2 newspaper editor and Ukranian Nazi collaborator, Michael Chomiac.
What will be interesting to see is whether the People's Party can take advantage of the low standing of the Libs and NDips. From one percent in the election before last, the People's Party got over five percent of the vote at the last election and would have got ten percent if it had not been for the don't split the conservative vote argument. Next time around the People's party, led by the charismatic Quebecer, Maxime Bernier, could double or triple their vote and become a significant factor in the next Parliament.
The other big uncertainty is the credibility of the yet to be chosen Conservative Party leader. A strong leader could demolish Trudeau on a daily basis in Parliament and transform the political situation. But strong leaders are not what the Conservative Party is good at.
One benefit of the Liberal-NDP coalition is that the Libs will support an NDP bill to introduce publicly funded dental care for children. In a country that boasts of its public healthcare system, this measure should have been passed a long time ago.
DeleteThis was very helpful, CS. Your efforts are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteImportant to note is that (a) Trudeau really is a megalomaniac, i.e., dangerously clinically insane; and (b) that by securing the Liberal government from defeat, the Liberal-NDP deal allows the Parliamentary Liberal Party to boot Trudeau without risk of losing power. If deputy PM, Christia Freeland has balls, it's time for her to make a move.
