Trudeau trolls truckers
American Thinker ^ | 31 Jan, 2022 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 01/31/2022 4:03:09 AM PST by MtnClimber

Having already established his cowardice by fleeing Ottawa before the arrival of the truck convoy, Justin Trudeau now proves the wisdom of the ancient observation that bullies are often cowards. Rather than address the demand that vaccination mandates for truckers who cross the US border back into Canada be suspended, Trudeau is flipping the bird and escalating, as Hank Berrien reports in the Daily Wire:

On Sunday morning, the day after the massive Freedom Convoy arrived in Ottawa, Canada, to protest vaccine mandates that would force unvaccinated Canadian truckers crossing into the United States to quarantine once they’ve returned home, the CBC reported that the Transport Minister for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government stated that there was “working being done” to implement interprovincial vaccine mandates for truckers.

This is such an in-your-face escalation in defiance of an obviously popular grass roots revolt that it seems to suggest Trudeau wants to provoke a reaction that would justify harsh repressive measures.

But it also hints at something else that is relevant to the situation: class antagonism. Specifically, the contempt felt by educated elites – the people now known as laptop class for their ability to function even in a lockdown – for the classes below them in the social order. The people who work with their hands, who did not make acquisition of educational credentials the focus of their first decades of life, and the people who do not share the woke values and prejudices indoctrinated into those who hold higher education diplomas granted in the last few decades.

Trudeau is flipping the bird and escalating,

This is who the left are. They act out of hate and rage and pure arrogance. This is why they WILL start something they’ll be sorry they started. They can’t help it. They are too flawed.

We had similar in some states on the subject of testing. Travel across state lines? Quarantine. Truckers were exempted.

I’m sure these tyrants have said amongst themselves, “they are cutting off their nose to spite their face.” They have near absolute conviction of infallibility. Their experts are perfect, as is thier policy judgment. Disagreement is allowed only for the purpose of illusion.

“Justin Trudeau has tested positive for Coward-19.”

Tagline borrowed for the duration.

That’s probably exactly what he wants to do.

If the trucks stop moving in Canada.

Then, of course, the solution will be.... MORE GOVERNMENT!

The Trudeau regime will double down, because that is what fascists always do when their power is threatened by the little people.
