So Justin Trudeau, the hypocritical proud feminist, proclaimed that the U.S. refusal to elect a woman (a totally incompetent one, in my opinion) for president was an attack on women’s rights and progress.

He only supports women who agree with him. The only criteria Joe Biden had for vice-president was a woman. God forbid he should pick anyone who is qualified.

Trudeau is just showing his sour grapes because he knew he would have a much easier time dealing with Kamala Harris than he will with Donald Trump.

REFUSES TO PUT COUNTRY FIRST

For years, Canadians have responded, when called upon, to put their lives on the line for the safety of our country and to protect our democratic freedom. I say this only to acknowledge that while everyday Canadians are willing to do what is right, our supreme leader, Justin Trudeau, cannot bring himself to call an election only because of what he might lose personally.

Donald Trump actually despises him, and we are all going to pay a huge price for this. Trudeau knows it and yet he still refuses to give up the reins. Pierre Poilievre could actually calm the waters with the future American president.

Neville Chamberlain, upon realizing he was wrong in his handling of Nazi Germany, relinquished power. Winston Churchill ultimately saved Great Britain from falling to the Nazis.

This most likely will be the last chance for Trudeau to put the country first, but I won’t be holding my breath.

PAYBACK TIME TIME FOR PM

The U.S. president-elect referred to the prime minister as “the governor of the state of Canada.” As distasteful and disrespectful as Trump’s statement was, Justin Trudeau brought this on, and it should be no surprise.

Throughout the duration of Joe Biden’s presidency, presuming that Trump would not return to office, our prime minister’s team invoked Trump’s name at every opportunity to describe his opponents in a negative light.

One can assume that Trump is aware that the prime minister used his name disparagingly, so it’s now payback time.
