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

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....

Did he wear blackface, or just dress up like a raj?

Canadians select prime ministers on the basis of who will get them noticed around the world.

Ah, no mention of Justins’ upcoming divorce? Wonder if she had enough of his wacky CCP political rantings at home.

Did they? Was Obama? I can’t find it in my heart to belittle the poor Canadians when we have Joe Biden front and center.

Sure blackface will support freedom of expression unless it’s referring to the jab.

What morons Canadians are. We should sever all ties with them.

Biden was senile when he ran, and yet he got more than half the votes.

Trudeau got less votes than the Conservative party leader last time, and only won due to how the votes were distributed.

The Conservatives ran a garbage campaign, and the folks in populous Ontario and BC bought into the COVID scares completely.

MOntreal, at an India Cultural Center, doing the bumpsy daisy with the “natives,” so he can be regarded as one of “them.”

Cultural Appropriation, its called. Many lefty socialist are afflicted with the social disease of thinking they can go “native”, including the infamous Pocahontus Elizbeth Warren of Massachusetts. Jill Biden is another, exclaiming recently at a Latino assembly, “Si se padway” for, “si, se puedo”. (I won't even talk about Hillary Clinton who tells Black Folk that she travels with a bottle of Hot Sauce in her purse.)

They are all virtue signaling political whores.Trudeau is really worse than any of these radical socialist/commies.Race and anti white supremacy is the new commie touch stone, and I have to laugh at them all dancing their jigs of insanity. They fool nor impress no one.)

His forte is ‘falling on his face’. Can he do anything right?
