Canada just demonstrated that, in a technologically sophisticated Western country, it’s very easy to become a dictator. And then, once you’re a dictator, it’s even easier to pretend you’re not, as was the case with Canadian dictator Justin Trudeau’s condemnation of Russian authoritarianism. Apparently, it takes one to know one.
A few years ago, Justin Trudeau was a laughable lefty who managed to become Prime Minister of Canada both because of his lineage (putative dad, Pierre, was once Prime Minister too) and because leftist Canadians were in love with the idea of a hip, totally woke leader.
Two years ago, with the onset of COVID, Trudeau, even while still speaking the language of woke victimhood, began to crack down hard on Canadian’s civil rights, all in the name of science. For Canada’s truckers, who have been almost broken by the mandates, the requirement that they produce a vaccine passport to cross back into Canada from America was one mandate too many. They convoyed across Canada and into Ottawa, where they honked their horns, ate food provided by locals, danced, and had bounce houses for the kids.
To the truckers’ surprise, the same Canadian premier, in 2020, who praised truckers to the skies and showily took a knee to honor the violent, disruptive, criminal Black Lives Matter, refused to talk to them. Instead, he ran away and emerged only to defame them as evil people, including calling them Nazis.

On Valentine’s Day, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, giving himself complete power because truckers were honking their horns in Ottawa. At his orders, the entire financial system was used punitively against not just the truckers but against anybody who dared to support them—and mind you,

They are the civil servants (both clerical and management), teachers, professors, and others who depend on spending and largesse for themselves and the world around them.
Turdeau is another BiteMe.
Canada has a Deep State, too. And it doesn’t hire its frontmen for brains, either.
Hitler was a pretty standard politician, who came into some power, worked the system, and got more power, and eventually became der Fuhrer.
People who become dictators don't look like monsters. They look like pretty standard politicians.
The virus is not about the virus. It's about control, and a lot of pretty standard politicians are loving it.
I wonder how Pierre felt about being a cuck like that. How could a man look in the mirror?
It is rumored that Pierre was a homosexual and having a wife was only for cover, a beard. It is also rumored that Margaret was very promiscuous and wanted to sleep with every world leader. Being married to Pierre gave her plenty of opportunity for that. And they both admired Fidel Castro so it is not unreasonable to believe the similarities between Justin and Fidel are more than a coincidence.
Some people get off on that s**t.
