Was It Something He Said, Did and Is?

Justin Trudeau is a sad, petty, vindictive, unaccomplished, spoiled, thieving, grooming, cowardly, girlish, incompetent, attention-seeking scion from an equally sad, petty, vindictive, unaccomplished, spoiled, thieving, grooming, cowardly, girlish, incompetent, attention-seeking dynasty that should be blotted out from the country for the good of it:

Both the violence in Montreal – the cars burnt, the windows smashed by the Hamas loving thugs – and the images of Justin Trudeau dancing at the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto.

Comparisons to Nero fiddling while Rome burns have been made countless times, but in this instance they are accurate.

When it comes to the hate rallies and violence we see in our streets across Canada, Trudeau has stood by and let it happen. This week, with his comments on how under his leadership he would allow Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested, Trudeau encouraged and emboldened what we saw Friday night.

The movie about Lee Miller arrived around here in the same week that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a press conference to announce a tax holiday on pudding and fake Christmas trees. His smirking Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland hovering beside him, Trudeau was asked about the International Criminal Court’s issuance of arrest warrants against two Jews.

His Liberal government would “abide” by the ICC warrants, Trudeau said.

“This is just who we are as Canadians,” he said.

(Sidebar: just like applauding a Ukrainian Nazi and hiding 900 Nazi criminals, eh, Justin? Why didn't your dad fight Hitler? I think we know why.)

Is it? Is that who we are now? Or is it the sort of moral abasement Lee Miller and her friends glimpsed in flickering newsreel footage about Nazis? Because it certainly feels like that.

The two Jews Trudeau agreed to arrest, in the unlikely event they ever alight on Canadian soil, are Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and its former minister of defence Yoav Gallant. They had committed “war crimes,” the ICC declared in a release, which then went on to say the details of the war crimes are “secret.”

It’s relevant that the details are being kept secret. Disclosing the facts, you see, would swiftly reveal the allegations to be as phony as one of Trudeau’s tax-exempt plastic Christmas trees.

 

(Sidebar: more on that later.)

I think I see a pattern!


Do it, Lindsay!:



A cynical person might see Justin's pandering to the ICC as also pandering to the ravenous anti-semitic voters block he gladly imported and now cannot control or appease.

A more cynical person might think that this is Justin's true petty, vicious self who would rather party with people old enough to be his props daughters while disgracing the electorate foolish enough to put him into power.

It takes a special kind of contempt for that sort of thing.

But I've never maintained that Justin was good or sane.


Now, to Justin's vote-buying scheme:

The federal Liberals are hoping to give Canadians a cheaper Christmas with a GST holiday.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Thursday that his government will be temporarily cutting the GST on all grocery items, restaurant meals, some alcoholic beverages, children’s clothing and toys, print newspapers and Christmas trees as of December 14.
Article content
This new tax break will apply to:
• Prepared foods, including vegetable trays, pre-made meals and salads, and sandwiches.
• Restaurant meals, whether dine-in, takeout, or delivery.
• Snacks, including chips, candy, and granola bars.
• Beer, wine, cider, and pre-mixed alcoholic beverages below 7 per cent ABV.
• Children’s clothing and footwear, car seats, and diapers.
• Children’s toys, such as board games, dolls, and video game consoles.
• Books, print newspapers, and puzzles for all ages.
• Christmas trees.
The tax break is projected to last two months, until February 15, 2025.

This move follows a similar promise by NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh last week to permanently cut the GST on all essentials including home heating and cell phone bills.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Thursday a suite of new measures meant to alleviate some of the affordability pressures people have been experiencing in the post-COVID era — including a two-month GST holiday on some goods and services.

The Liberal government will also send $250 cheques to the 18.7 million people in Canada who worked in 2023 and earned $150,000 or less.

Those cheques, which the government is calling the "Working Canadians Rebate," will arrive sometime in "early spring 2025," Trudeau said.

 

Now, the problems with this transparently obvious vote grab - aside from it being a transparently obvious vote grab - is that it does not address the economic ruin Justin the grifting b@$#@rd inflicted on the country, nor does it mention that Parliament is at a stand-still and will not pass such a vote, it is expensive to roll it and the price rises in the new year.

But Justin doesn't think that warrants a mention:

The combined federal and provincial government debt in seven provinces has surpassed the value of all goods and services produced in those provinces. This not only impairs economic growth but also directly impacts our daily lives and living standards, as revealed by a new study published by the Fraser Institute.

Author Jason Childs says, “When government debt grows so high that it is larger than the entire value of the economy, not only does additional debt offer no benefit to growth, living standards stagnate.”

Did you know that since the Trudeau Liberals came to office in 2015 the cost of taxpayer-funded health care for asylum seekers has risen by 585%? Or that federal spending on Indigenous programs has tripled, yet living standards on reserves have barely budged?

Did you know that the payroll for federal executives has doubled? Or that because the national debt has also doubled, the average family is paying $100 a month in taxes just to cover the interest payments?

First, Trudeau argued that his carbon tax — currently $80 per tonne of industrial greenhouse gas emissions rising by almost 19% to $95 per tonne on April 1, 2025 on its way to $170 per tonne on April 1, 2030 — leaves eight out of 10 households paying it (everywhere but Quebec and B.C. that have separate systems) better off, because of quarterly climate action incentives payments.

But that ignores the finding by independent parliamentary budget officer Yves Giroux that when factoring in the economic damage caused by Trudeau’s carbon tax, 60% of families actually pay more in carbon taxes than they receive in incentive payments.

Second, Trudeau said he put a price on carbon because it’s more economically efficient at reducing emissions than government regulations or subsidies.

But in the real world, Trudeau’s carbon tax is a relatively minor contributor to reducing emissions.

He has also imposed carbon regulations and subsidies on Canadians, in addition to his carbon tax, through a total of 149 Trudeau government programs, to which it has earmarked $200 billion of taxpayers’ money to date.

The government’s narrative suggests substantial relief for Canadians. However, the actual savings may be far more modest. For groceries, the average Canadian household stands to save just $4.51 in taxes over the two months, while dining out could offer $19.51 in tax savings.

While every dollar counts, the idea that this measure will lead to significant financial relief is overstated unless one is a frequent purchaser of high-ticket alcohol or luxury dining options. For most, this “GST vacation” is more a token gesture than transformative economic aid.

Restaurants are likely to gain the most from this policy. Canadians already spend a record $187 per month dining out, and the tax break might encourage more to opt for dining services rather than home cooking.

One thing is for sure, the 2024 Liberal version carries a hefty price tag of $6.28 billion — according to early calculations — at a time when Canada’s annual deficit, which Justin Trudeau’s government promised would clock in at around $40 billion, is certain to spike.

 

Math was never the substitute drama teacher's forte.

 

Oh, there's more:

Temporary residents feature prominently in the video, with Trudeau claiming that “most return home” and have “never been a part of the long-term immigration plan.” However, since the late 1990s, both Liberal and Conservative governments increasingly relied on the “rapid expansion” of two-step immigration — that is, bringing in temporary students and workers, then selecting some already in Canada for permanent status.

In other words, many temporary residents do stay. In fact, since the mid-2010s, the majority of permanent residents coming through economic selection streams were two-step immigrants. This rose to 78 per cent in 2021 as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down much international travel.

That same year, then Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Marco Mendicino, said that Canada’s “message to international students and graduates is simple: we don’t just want you to study here, we want you to stay here.”

Today, the federal government’s official website for prospective international students still states: “Many international students and their families have made Canada their home and become citizens. You could too!”

Let's throw Mexico under the bus!:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday he would prefer Mexico remain a North American free trade partner but “we may have to look at other options” if the country doesn’t address concerns about Chinese manufacturers working to wedge into the market.

Justin is all-around bad for the country. 

When will he leave it?
