Remember how cool everyone thought Justin Trudeau was? You don’t? Here’s something that took six seconds to find with Google (from GQ):
“It’s rare that a politician and a movie star share tastes in fashion but Justin Trudeau isn’t just any politician, especially when it comes to dressing for a big event. Last night, while delivering a Leonard Cohen tribute speech (could he get any cooler?) onstage at the Juno awards in Ottawa, the PM wore a tie so cool, it’s straight out of the Ryan Gosling Playbook™.”
Okay, maybe dressing like Ryan Gosling got him some cool points, but he definitely lost them all when he invoked the Emergencies Act and had Ottawa police officers take batons to the bodies of innocent protesting Canadians who wanted control over their own health care decisions.
But we should have seen this coming. After all, candidate Trudeau did little to hide his admiration for authoritarian, police state China. Here’s what a sharp-looking Trudeau said at a town hall back in 2013 —a town hall that was just for the ladies (please, hold your “woos”).
“There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China. Because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and saying ‘We need to go greenest fastest, we need to start, you know, investing in solar.’”
That statement is so ignorant and misinformed, we don’t even have time to unpack it here.
So, let’s hop in the wayback machine, before 2013 and Justin’s China lovefest. Let’s look at Pierre Trudeau — Justin’s father and prime minister of Canada from 1980-84. According to Peter Schweizer in Red-Handed, Pierre Trudeau was a longtime supporter of communism, something he passed on to his son.
“[Pierre] met with mass murderer Mao Zedong personally during the visit that would lead to him penning his book, Two Innocents in Red China, alongside colleague Jacques Hébert following travel in 1960,” Brietbart reports….”The book [tells] the story of two young men using travel and adventure to discover the glories of communism, in the style of communist killer Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara’s Motorcycle Diaries.”
“This travelog of his visit to China is filled with naïveté and revolutionary sloganeering,” Schweizer writes in Red-Handed. “Trudeau and Hébert posed for pictures with the members of Young Pioneers, the Communist Party Youth Group rich in indoctrination, and proclaimed, ‘it is these red-scarfed kids who in twenty years will be the New Men of a country which at that time will have a billion inhabitants.’”
“The book effusively praises Mao Zedong, responsible for at least 50 million deaths.”
“Beijing authorities were no doubt thrilled with Trudeau’s account of Maoist China. On the eve of his son Justin’s rise into national politics, a Chinese government-controlled publishing house released a Chinese-language version of the book,” Schweizer writes. “The book was launched at a lavish press conference in Shanghai with coauthor Jacques Hébert and Alexandre Trudeau, Justin’s younger brother, fielding questions from fifty Chinese journalists.”
“Alexandre Trudeau has since become an official Chinese government propagandist, releasing a book copying his father’s style in 2016,” Breitbart reports.
The Terrible Trudeau’s —carrying water for the CCP. Justin wouldn’t meet with the truckers or listen to what they had to say, but he was more than happy to abuse the power of his office to beat his citizens, arrest them, take their trucks (their livelihood) and freeze their finances without a warrant.
Right out of the Ryan Gosling/Xi Jinping Playbook™.
