Trudeau’s positively disastrous trip to India
National Post [Canada] ^ | Sept. 12, 2023 | Tristin Hopper

Posted on 09/12/2023 9:19:14 AM PDT by canuck_conservative

For the second time in his tenure, an official trip to India by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has become defined by a cascading series of gaffes, snubs and diplomatic embarrassments...

After a short meeting between Trudeau and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement saying that Modi spent most of the encounter reprimanding Trudeau for allegedly letting Canada become a safe haven for secessionist extremists...

And all of this was before Trudeau’s aircraft broke down, stranding the Canadian delegation in New Delhi until a rescue plane could be dispatched from CFB Trenton...

Trudeau had come to New Delhi for the G20 summit, and keen observers of the event alleged that India’s frosty treatment of Trudeau started right at the airport. The Canadian prime minister was picked up in an older Toyota Land Cruiser, while other world leaders got newer model Audis and Mercedes.

The chilly atmosphere appeared to be swiftly reciprocated by Trudeau. In a memorial service for Indian nationalist leader Mohandas Gandhi, Trudeau noticeably pulled away when Modi tried to grasp his hand. Questioned about the recoil by reporters, Trudeau said people could read whatever symbolism into the action that they wanted...

The tense relations between India and the Trudeau government are driven almost entirely by the issue of Khalistan, a Sikh secessionist movement that seeks to calve off the Indian state of Punjab...

Following Modi’s demands to crack down on radical Khalistani actions, Trudeau told reporters in New Delhi that while Canada was “always there” to prevent violence, he would defend “freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, and peaceful protest.”

It was this phrase in particular that incensed Indian commentators, who accused Trudeau of hypocrisy given his government’s hardline actions against anti-mandate blockades in early 2022....

That’s a real power flex move. Fly into town to be the big cheese and have to beg for a ride home.

Justin Trudeau is Canada's Village idiot

YES, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT, I SAID IT:

" L'idiot de village du Canada!"

As PM he has purposefully violated Canadian Charter Rights repeatedly on mNRA innoculation mandates and mask mandates, gun control and bank account seizures.

Not only that, the crazy effer has a continuous identity crisis.

Tell that to the truckers who wanted to be heard and instead were arrest and all their money confiscated.

I know he’s far from perfect, but I enjoy watching Poilievre tear up this guy.

I would call Crime Minister Castreau a perfect azzhole, but he is so very far from being perfect!

Can we somehow convince the Indians to keep him?

I heard Trudeau is returning to Canada by a balloon that he borrowed from China.
But I could be wrong.

A newspaper on the movements of Canadian politicians?

And the story did not once mention Trudeau having a movement, but then Trudeau is the result of a movement. Too bad his mommy forgot to flush.

Trudeau is a disgrace and a liar. Those truckers in Canada were 100% peaceful and this prancing ahole has punished and made their lives a living hell.

Same with the Polish pastor.

Mo wonder Modi disrespects this clown.

Hohoho. That’s rich.

“he would defend “freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, and peaceful protest.” Unless it was native born Canadians doing the protesting.

“Trudeau noticeably pulled away when Modi tried to grasp his hand.”

Trudeau realized it was not his place to shake hands with a better man, and reflexively almost went down to shine his shoes.
