Without a doubt:
“Tokenism is very disenfranchising, very dehumanizing…. I’m not allowed to speak to media, I’m not allowed to speak in the house, I’m not being sent anywhere. What kind of trip does that play on your mind? What does that do to the mind of a person when they know that the only thing that they’re there for is like, ‘omg, look at this I’m Black,’ and, ‘omg, look at these (gesturing to her breasts), I’m a woman.'” Overall, she said she felt, “duped and betrayed,” by the Liberal government.
At one point she told him, “If I’m here to fill any gender or racial gap within your cabinet, then I don’t want this role.”
In addition to having to deal with being used as a prop for her gender and race, there was also the explosive childish antics that Trudeau has become known for which has sent ministers fleeing from his sinking ship.
Later, Caesar-Chavannes came to Trudeau to make peace, but it did not go well. According to her, as soon as she opened her mouth and said, “Justin I’m s..,” the room became tense: “There was no words. It was a glare. It was this reddening of the face. It was the exhalation of his voice… And I was stopped in my tracks with the glare, the huff, and he got up from his seat and left, and I froze. Because at that moment, I knew that this person actually could make or break the rest of my life.” Trudeau sounds like a human resources nightmare. No wonder his cabinet never complains about his constant jet-setting and frequent absence in the House of Commons. They’re probably relieved.
But tokenism, empty platitudes and shallow virtue are all that Justin offers.
Were one to completely overlook his many, many, many personal flaws and focus solely on his ability to govern, one would have to ask why he has a template cabinet, one that is filled with political eye candy and yes-men.
What does one expect from an attention-seeking, aging frat-boy who uses his own children as props?
