As Andrea Widburg observed
in a recent American
Thinker post, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau essentially called Melissa
Lantsman, a conservative member of the Canadian Parliament, a swastika-waving
Nazi. This wasn’t just the usual disgusting and preposterously hysterical hyperbole
employed by leftists. This was particularly egregious as Lantsman is a
descendant of Holocaust survivors. But, in what passes for the mind of the Prime
Minister, she had to be savaged because she dared to defend the truckers who
are protesting his draconian mandates and increasingly brutal police-state actions.
Trudeau said of his fellow public servants, "Conservative
Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas; they can stand with
people who wave the Confederate flag." (Which none of them have done
or would do.) Or they could stand with Trudeau, who actually is acting
like a dictator of a Banana Republic-- or Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Neither
of which are good looks for the leader of the True North, as it’s too cold to
grow bananas and too many of his citizens still remember who the good guys were
in the Cold War. None-the-less, Trudeau’s behavior has become so
outlandish I wouldn’t be surprised if he took his shoe off and started banging
on a podium at any time.
In
response to another member of Parliament who called on Trudeau to apologize for
his appalling remarks, Trudeau replied, “Canadians deserve their freedoms back.” Yes, Prime Minister, that
is why the truckers you slander are protesting. You took
their freedoms from them, and they’d like them back.
Trudeau also said that the blockades “continue
to interfere with people’s daily lives.” That’s rich.
His government has been doing that for more than two years now, which is why untold
millions have offered their support for the brave members of the Freedom
Convoy. They would like it if Trudeau stopped interfering in their lives--
and ceased causing them hardship and heartbreak.
The Slime Minister stated
that he “will stand on the side of Canadians who want
their livelihoods back.” He might want to start with
the truckers. And all the others whose jobs he deemed ‘unessential’
during the pandemic.
Trudeau added, “People are made to feel fearful, miss shifts
at their work, these are things that cannot be stood for.” Again, these are all
things he did to the people. Hence, the protests.
Yet his
response to the legitimate grievances of the working-class truckers has been to
castigate and shame them. To arrest them, tow away their rigs, unconstitutionally
freeze their bank accounts, and even take their pets from them. His own “Justice Minister”
has hinted that being a conservative or Trump supporter could be
a factor in determining if one’s bank account is frozen. By invoking the War Measures Act, euphemistically renamed the Emergency Act, he arrogated
to himself the power to do as he pleases to the truckers…and virtually anyone
else in the nation he rules.
The never-before-used emergency
powers allow Trudeau’s government to establish “no-go” zones in Ottawa…just
like the ones in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Baltimore! In fact, under the new rules, excited authorities
said they can now ban public assemblies that “may reasonably be expected to
lead to a breach of the peace.” And the government is nothing if not reasonable.
Police have already arrested dozens of people and
charged a few at one location with conspiracy to commit murder after
announcing the seizure of “weapons” there. You know, like a firearm or a knife.
This is like charging
people with conspiracy to overeat after finding forks and spoons in their
possession. Or charging them with conspiracy to commit libel after discovering
they own pens and keyboards. But libel, slander and misinformation are the
hallmarks of authoritarian governments, not long-haul truckers.
Disturbingly,
Canada’s money-laundering and terrorism financing rules have also been widened to include crowdfunding sites such as
GoFundMe and GiveSendGo, as well as payment service providers that have been
used to funnel funds to the protesters. Basically, if the Trudeau government
doesn’t approve of your thinking, actions or largesse, it will simply dismiss
or prevent them. Chilling.
Does Trudeau wish to start a civil war,
or is he just drunk on power and the application of wickedness?
Incredibly, Trudeau claimed that by detaining, arresting, and
fining the protesters he was “restoring confidence in our institutions.” Really?
By fraudulently slandering them and attacking their rights and freedoms? It’s a
little late for that, Dumbo. Good luck “restoring their confidence” in your
institutions now. Even the Canadian Civil Liberties Union (CCLU)
opposes Trudeau’s heavy-handed overreach.
Oddly, Trudeau didn’t seem to mind the months-long orgy of
burning, looting and violence that ravaged the U.S. during the summer of 2020.
Nor did he oppose farmers in India clogging the streets of New Delhi in a
massive protest last year. In fact, he supported them and told them
“Canada will always be there to defend the right of peaceful protest.” Just not
those in Canada, apparently.
Calling
Prime Sinister Minister Trudeau an empty suit would be a grave offense
to empty suits everywhere. His hypocrisy knows no bounds, his stupidity is limitless.
Yet his ego appears as vast as the cosmos. He treats his fellow citizens like
they are his servants, not the other way around. He treats them like they are
all lepers…or are all in blackface. But, in truth, he was the one in blackface.
That face should be deep red now.
He is a metrosexual/GQ version of a
cross between the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man from The
Wizard of Oz. If only he had courage, a brain and a heart, he could
approximate a human being. Sadly, he is a misplaced, quiche-eating, latte-sipping,
effeminate—and fraudulent-- gasbag in a nation largely comprised of hockey
players and outdoor-lovers.
Oh, Canada.
Look what this clown has done to you. You were
once the true north, strong and free.
Please remove this guy from office.
For your sake. And ours.
