Justin Trudeau Is a Sad, Petty Tyrant

Prove me wrong:

That using the Emergencies Act to clear out the freedom convoy protest this past winter was an overreaction should be the inescapable conclusion of all but the most ardent of Trudeau apologists. The judicial inquiry set up by the government as required by the act and which begins next month will hopefully provide clearer answers as to why a state of emergency was declared. But, unless previously unheard of evidence that Canada’s democracy really was an inch from collapsing emerges, a terrible precedent will have been set. Don’t agree? Just imagine a future government using the act to clear away, say, climate protesters.


One already knows the act was wrong.

It was implemented by a sad, petty, unaccomplished bigot who was frightened into fleeing and humiliated by rural communities.

This sort of narcissism is just ONE of the reasons why Justin is not fit for office.


Also:

constitutional rights advocacy group has launched a legal challenge against federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos over the government’s use of the ArriveCan app, saying the app’s collection and use of private health information is a breach of Canadians’ Charter rights.

The Democracy Fund (TDF) announced its legal challenge, filed with the Federal Court on behalf of several Canadians, in a news release issued on Aug. 24.

“The federal government has been using ArriveCAN to compel anyone entering Canada to provide them with personal information about themselves, including intimate details of their health and personal choices,” the release said.

“Failure to do so can result in fines exceeding $6,000 once surcharges are applied. Some households who have crossed the border together face cumulative fines, which are financially devastating.”


The ArriveCan app is meant only to control movements and, yes, Rumpelstiltskin, it doesn't work.



"Don't attack my mouthpieces!" whines Justin:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted on Wednesday night about what he says is the "pattern of harassment of journalists," calling it "alarming," leading some to point out that Trudeau's security guards are guilty of the behaviour that he says has "no place in our society."


We paid them $600 million to breathe for you.

We'll call them what we like.



What does Justin care? It's not like he will be without money:

The CEO of a Quebec-based oil and gas company is calling out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's claim that there has "never been a strong business case" for liquefied natural gas exports from Canada's East Coast to Europe.

Mario Lévesque, chief executive of Utica Resources, says the rationale for exporting natural gas from Quebec is "crystal clear," and would generate "tens of billions in royalties and taxes" for Ottawa.

Lévesque's comments follow an energy-focused tour of Canada by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who was accompanied by a delegation of business leaders from Europe's largest economy. The three-day trip saw the two nations reach agreements on hydrogen and electric vehicle battery minerals.

However, a plan for Canada to ease the soaring cost of natural gas in Germany did not come to pass, despite Scholz's call for Canadian LNG to play a "major role" in the nation's transition from Russian supply.

Speaking in a joint press conference with Scholz on Monday in Montreal, Trudeau said "there has never been a strong business case" for a number of projects on Canada's East Coast, noting distance and transportation challenges.

"We are looking right now and companies are looking at whether or not the new context makes it a worthwhile business case to make those investments," Trudeau said, adding that the federal government would be willing to ease regulatory hurdles to assist its allies. "But there needs to be a business case."
