Shut Up, Justin

Your father presided over these dreadful residential schools. 

You fought payments for aboriginal children in court (rather like suing veterans). 

You flaked off from the fake holiday to appease the fake victim industry and then rolled your eyes when offering a fake apology.

 

(Sidebar: did we ever find out who vandalised and burned churches? Did we ever find out why Lytton, BC was nearly wiped off the map? Did we?)

So, no, the Church will not "step up" from the buck you desperately trying to pass:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is chastising Roman Catholic Church officials for failing to honour their commitment to residential school survivors.

 

There is nothing to apologise for (it's been done already). 

There is nothing for the Church to pay for (feel free to surrender your pension, Justin).

There is no reason to listen to a snowboard instructor whose sociopathy should be noticed by now. 

Also - you had a chance to turf him and you didn't:

“A majority (55%) of Canadians believe Justin Trudeau should resign as the leader of the Liberal Party, and begin a process where a new leader can be chosen and who would replace the Prime Minister until the next election was called.”

As published by a Maru Opinion Poll days after Mr. Trudeau won his third term in office. The victory was by all accounts the weakest federal election win of all-time.

And how!:

In “ The Enablers : How the West Supports Kleptocrats and Corruption — Endangering Our Democracy,” Vogl argues that western politicians must take greater responsibility. “For example, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lost the shine on his public image when in 2018 he intervened in the prosecution by the Justice Department into alleged bribery by one of Canada’s largest engineering companies, SNC-Lavalin. Trudeau got off too lightly,” Vogl writes. ...

Vogl includes this as one example of an incident in which “top politicians seek to go behind the scenes to support major corporations accused of foreign bribery and/or money laundering.” Other examples include British and French leaders who tried to mitigate American actions against HSBC and BNP Paribas banks, after they were charged with major crimes. Another occurred in 2011, when British Prime Minister Tony Blair halted a Serious Fraud Office investigation into Saudi Arabian deals with U.K. arms exporter BAE Systems.

“So long as the Trudeau/Blair-type interventions take place without serious punishments for the politicians, the largest corporations feel all the more confident that they can keep on bribing kleptocrats,” writes Vogl.

Imagine if government directed even one-quarter of these funds toward domestic economic development. What would occur if half of these funds were properly invested in the Canadian economy?

How about a financial stimulus to drive Canada to the pinnacle of economic stability? Instead, our government is likely throwing billions of dollars in a global garbage can.

Have you heard the news? As recently reported by the National Post, Canada has sent nearly $800 Million in foreign aid to Jordan over the last 10 years. The Pandora Papers has discovered that the King of Jordan is funneling large parts of that Canadian aid into a worldwide portfolio of luxury real estate.

Canadian foreign aid is making Middle Eastern billionaires even richer. And neither the Liberal government, nor Canadian media, object to the fleecing of the Canadian tax-payer for this purpose.
