Divisive? Was It Something He Said and Did?

Probably:

Justin Trudeau will go more and more authoritarian if he thinks it will help him win the election.

He will stop at nothing, regardless of the consequences.

A politician who once campaigned on ‘Sunny Ways,’ and who denounced the use of fear as a political tool, has now become the biggest fearmonger of them all.

It began in Cobourg, Ontario, before moving forward to Aurora, Ontario. Not that the phenomenon is limited to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s tour of his “voter base” in Canada’s most populous province.

On the fringes of British Columbia, a crowd went ballistic on Trudeau, chanting derogatory terms like they are going out of style. During these daily developments, one can’t help but notice a recurring phenomenon.

Witness as masked man Justin Trudeau whispers not one word to the crowd. Instead, he makes a mad dash to the security of his campaign bus.

Now imagine a contender from Quebec who is the antithesis of Justin.

When one can dish out the bribe money, imagine being able to sideline him:

Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada was not included on the list of participating groups on Saturday as Commissioner David Johnston unveiled new criteria for the upcoming English and French-Language federal election debates.

 

(Sidebar: Mr. Bernier also does not care for the ham who is Jagmeet Singh and all of his street theatre.)

 

Whatever.

There will be no reason to watch bags of hot air promise the same untenable garbage that they always do. 

Perhaps one can follow Maxime Bernier's live Twitter feed instead?

 

Vaguely related - let there be a slideshow of communism's greatest hits, from starving North Korean children to Soviet gulags:

Before discovering the Communist Party of Canada at a rally in support of Palestinian rights earlier this year, Spencer Nosella didn't think she aligned with any political parties.

The 32-year-old freelance baker had tried volunteering for the NDP, but was disappointed to be tasked with helping fundraise instead of "doing anything to benefit the community."

Nosella, a resident of Burlington, Ont., also feels strongly about Indigenous issues, labour rights and reducing military spending. She says she's found her people in the Communist Party.

It's easy to be a Starbucks communist in the West. It's quite another when there is no electricity and no food but plenty of labour camps.
