Turdeau should know that we Americans look at Canada with horror due to his policies.
Well just like Obama, Trudeau speaks for some Canadians and not others, but he uses language that suggests he speaks for everybody in the country. His party received less than 40% of the vote to form the minority government they currently have.
I don’t think all Canadians look on the situation the same way, probably the percentages are a bit different than in the United States, but conservatives generally speaking are more favorable towards Trump and understand the call for law and order.
It has to be said that we don’t face similar dynamics in Canada so it’s easy to pontificate as Justin Trudeau likes to do. The 21 second pause was probably a time of panic, as in “do I say what I really think, or something political,” and I don’t know which side of that choice he came down on, you can imagine that much more direct things could be said by those opposed to Trump, whereas Trudeau is political enough to realize that not everybody shares the liberal view, but then he probably figured, can’t lose by sounding critical when all my political opponents on the left would say very negative things if asked this same question.
In a larger context, we are stuck with this never ending lack of realism in progressive politics, they have nowhere to go now but the fantasy world they created where various client groups need to be rescued from white domination, yet they themselves want to dominate and they are white (mainly) so how to square that circle? So they just issue these preposterous edicts that mean virtually nothing, time after time, and ride along on the surface of waves they help to create and sustain, while actually never doing anything much.
Obama had eight years to reform the justice system if that was a big priority, and what did he do? Very little. The police forces in large U.S. cities are all hired and trained by Democrats so I’m not even sure why all of this should be pinned on the president at all, it’s rather like blaming me for a plane crash in Pakistan. What do I have to do with it?
