"I'm Not the Crazy One!" Insists Perennial Coward

It's like he can't help himself:

Sachedina: So the tinfoil hats comment, you don't regret?

Trudeau: "When someone believes that your government is trying to inject a vaccine in you to control your mind and track you, and there's a microchip in it, that's almost the definition of a government conspiracy theory that you wear a tinfoil hat to protect your brain from brainwaves. It's a frame that when people fall into conspiracy theories, we need to call them out on that."


Yes, Justin, about all of that:

“They are extremists who don’t believe in science, they’re often misogynists, also often racists. It’s a small group that muscles in, and we have to make a choice in terms of leaders, in terms of the country. Do we tolerate these people? Or do we say, hey, most of the Quebecois people – 80% – are vaccinated. We want to come back to things we like doing. It’s not those people who are blocking us.”

The emails, which were submitted to the Public Order Emergency Commission and first reported on by Blacklock’s Reporter, detailed the political aides’ discussion around a media inquiry from the Wall Street Journal asking for clarification on the prime minister’s claims.
“I don’t think we’d have anything to say on this,” said Alexander Cohen, communications director for Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, in an email to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s press secretary Adrienne Vaupshas on Feb. 21.
“Tbh [To be honest] we’ve tried to avoid questions about the foreign funding angle because we don’t have hard information on it, and most of it is actually legal (despite being objectionable etc.),” Cohen added in the email.
“This [question] has been a bit of a hot potato,” said Adrienne Vaupshas, press secretary to the Minister of Finance, in an earlier email the same day.
“Does [Trudeau’s remarks on foreign funding] come from the leaked GiveSendGo data or was there any other source? PS [Public Safety] says they don’t have any data to back this claim.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said during a press conference on Feb. 21 that one reason the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act was that the Freedom Convoy “received disturbing amounts of foreign funding to destabilize Canada’s democracy.”
On Feb. 9, the prime minister also said in the House of Commons that there was a “flow of funds through criminal activities” being sent to the Convoy. Just over a week later, he also said the Convoy was “being heavily supported by individuals in the United States and from elsewhere around the world.”
“We see that roughly half of the funding that is flowing to the barricaders here is coming from the United States,” Trudeau said on Feb. 17.
Executives from GoFundMe, an online crowdfunding platform that had a Convoy fundraising page from Jan. 14 to Feb. 4, previously said that 88 percent of funds donated to the Convoy through the platform originated in Canada.
