Every day, I am honoured by Kate allowing me to contribute here on SDA. In a similar way, I am honoured that Glenn Reynolds shared one of my recent posts on his popular Instapundit blog. Several of the comments therein were profound. This one, in particular, by Conrad O’Connor, hit several chords:
Trudeau’s response makes perfect sense. He cannot afford to have an honest debate about the costs of Covid theater or the merits of vaccine mandates, Such a debate might reveal that accumulating evidence shows that lockdowns did far more damage than benefit, and there is no evidence the unvaccinated pose a threat to the vaccinated. This would threaten his power and undermine rule by experts.
So he defaults to the leftwing playbook: The truckers are popular and working class so he can’t call them greedy capitalists, but they are mostly white so therefore are clearly racist nazi misogynist Islamophobes. This tells the media how to report the story and tells the politically ignorant that the truckers’ demands can be ignored. It is deeply dishonest to the point of absurdity, but completely in accord with leftwing tactics.
You’d think The Turd (and for that matter the Left in general) would have learned the lesson from what happened to Hilliary in 2016 after she referred to her non-supporters as a “basket of deplorables”. I guess he thinks he can just brazen his way through. Or maybe he thinks he has more political capital than Clinton did? Well…we’ll see.
The Trudeau Cult has been around longer than the Clintons. The CBC is a very large part of that cult as is most of the MSM.
If it weren’t for the cult following and the Trudeau name, Socks couldn’t get elected to be the class clean up monitor.
True, but the wealth Clintons accumulated whoring out the White House dwarfs Camelot North. They are always going to call the non-left names. We need to change tactics, mock them, laugh at them or simply ask for proof. This scardey-cat, what will the press say?, what do the polls say? hasn’t, doesn’t and won’t work.
Someone running the Trudeau dog and pony show understands that Canadians are not very bright. That of course is why the whu who flu fraud got off the ground in Canada and why the terminally stupid are still running around with their hair on fire. A serious look at the composition of parliament should tell an intelligent person all they need to know about Canadians.
If you have a case, pound the case. If you don’t have a case, pound the table.
This is all table pounding from now on.
Until the lawsuits, “retiring to spend more time with the family”, etc.
Will any reporter ask our sleazy PM to provide evidence for the “racist nazi misogynist Islamophobe” claims?
Don’t hold your breath.
Evidence isn’t needed when a there’s a foregone, though invented, conclusion conveniently available.
Yeah agreed but we are playing on feelings and not really thinking about this correctly in my humble opinion.
Angus Reid said 54 percent are wanting restrictions removed. 30 percent will vote for trudeau, which leaves us 24 percent wanting someone to tell them its ok we can start dialing this back toward 2019 society.
Conservative MPs need to be there in support saying we have your back as long as it remains lawful. The longer this goes the worse it gets for the liberals. I welcome replies that I’m wrong, I’m a big boy, won’t cry
“Conservative MPs need to be there in support saying we have your back as long as it remains lawful.”
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
given that the cons now have new leader, maybe said new leader can start reading the study on lockdowns into hansard?
The trucker’s convoy / stand-off accentuates the battle lines of the people wanting freedom against the elites and their political puppets (Cons and Libs) moving in the opposite direction. The Laurentian elite and their global uber elitists want permanent crises, be it Wuhan virus or CAGW-rationalized energy controls. The basis of the crises are non debatable for the reason that the puppets of the elites are not competent at debate nor science and therefore not allowed to engage in a losing proposition. Free speech along with a free press has been dispensed with for the same reasons.
Trudy should be facing charges of crimes against humanity at the World Court for giving big pharma legal immunity, he signed away our rights without a single consult with the people. I want all of them charged with crimes against humanity, now that we know the vaccines don’t work, lock downs didn’t work, masks are a joke and social distancing a farce. They should have to pay the consequences for their tyranny and abuse.

2000% Agreed.
Guillotine or Gallows…both have the desired effect….or endings ala Nicolae Ceasescu…in public.
When Trudeau is removed, if Chrystia Freeland replaces him, we’re back to square one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWNJGeCog0I
What a lying witch!!!
As Trudeau keeps the military option on the table – this is worth a revisit
