Trudeau slammed after blaming ‘anxiety over climate change’ for ‘rise in threats' to politicians

During a recent press conference, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pointed to issues like "climate change" and "mental health," when asked why there has been a "rise in threats" against politicians.

The Canadian leader, who spent weeks demonizing truckers protesting his government’s COVID-19 mandates earlier this year, said "climate change," the mentally ill, and economic changes – among other external factors – were to blame for people’s frustration with their governments. A handful of the prime minister's critics noticed that he conveniently left himself out of the blame game.

Prompting Trudeau’s answer, one reporter asked, "What do you think is behind the rise in threats that politicians are facing?" After taking a quick beat to frame the answer, Trudeau sighed and responded, "We’ve been through a lot, as a country, as a world, over these past years."

He then began his list of what’s inspiring the threats, stating, "Obviously the pandemic, increasing anxiety because of climate change, transformations of our economy, um, rise in mental health and addiction problems – particularly with the opioid crisis that has been ravaging communities right across the country."

He continued, claiming, "It’s a lot of pressure for a lot of people and unfortunately, um, there are no easy solutions for all these challenges we’re facing. "

Are all these “leaders” getting their bottled water from the same supplier? Russia or chi-nuh?

When these supposed “saviors of the planet” start pointing the finger at India, China, and Africa I might start taking them seriously.

As long as they only want “white” countries to change, I know it’s just for show.

The left has had considerable success in saying things which are patently ludicrous — and their followers swallowing it hook, line, and sinker.

Hey Justin!

The "anxiety" is over the idea that you and your elitist friends are making policy based on this fraud.

Most of these “threats” being reported by politicians are a creation of a weak mind hearing voices inside of their mentally unstable head.

Maybe a big cause is his policies of vax mandates which are forcing many people to die. Why mass murderers should be free of consequences is difficult to understand.

Whenever I hear his voice I recall just how “friendly” his mom was and just how much she admired Fidel.

Can you get any more tone deaf? These people will be chased down and hung in the public square eventually. They know it….They’re just trying to push as much as they can before that happens
