Matt Taibbi: Canada’s Prime Minister solidifies his status as the world’s most nauseating pseudo-intellectual
To recap: Trudeau in a clear act of official disinformation smeared thousands of Canadian protesters as Nazis last year with context-twisting descriptions of a few decidedly un-representative photos. Now, after the Speaker of the House of Commons invited an ex-Nazi to parliament in a planned political act that had to be somewhat representative of the thinking of Trudeau’s Liberal government, the Prime Minister is complaining about “Russian disinformation,” as if that were to blame for this optics Hindenburg.
Repugnant is the right word to describe the Liberal Party of Canada. Both the politicians and those who vote for them. TWANLOC.
PP clapped for him too, as did all the other “conservatives.”
338.
Yes. Nobody did their homework. Not even the voters who just want to pick one label every four or five years and think themselves smarter and better than everyone who picked the other label. Collectively our MPs represent us quite as we collectively deserve.
Then Conservatives were not the ones who were supposed to vet him, Also, I am pretty sure they did not introduce him as a Nazi. This is on the Liberals. An unfortunate mistake, but what makes it particularly galling is the way Liberals have carelessly called others Nazi’s. “Do we tolerate the people?”
True but here’s hoping they don’t take the Libs or Turdo at his word on anything in the future. As Jordan Peterson recently said, everything about him is a lie.
Yes, because they were told by the Speaker that he was a war hero. In their position would you have abstained, not knowing who the guy was? And if it turned out he WAS a real war hero, you’d have looked the perfect fool.
The only mistake the MP’s made was trusting the Speaker, IF his story is to be believed and he’s not just taking one for the PMO.
Well Don the first clue would have been that he fought against Russia during WWII.
Just who was it that was fighting the Russians? Oh yeah Hitler.
I agree with you though, this is just another Liberal f##k up.
I was wondering about that, but I’m not surprised. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep repeating it. PP cannot be trusted.
We’ll deal with PP once he does what we want him to do, and oust the turd.
Political zealotry.. The mindless sign of our times..
When you know its all BS.. Digging for facts is a dangerous game.. Its best to stand and sit, clap and cheer with the mob.. This way you not only get to go home but come back again tomorrow..
They knew who he was but the propaganda show needed to go on.. The mindless sign of our times.. From one unsavory friend to another.. Hail Victory.. Whatever that means..
I think most people in the house were surprised by the unannounced guest. When they did introduce him, they completely hid the fact that he fough on the German side. Listen to the intro again. So yeah, they are idiots.
Taibbi, in the observatory, with the candlestick.
Kudos to Taiibi.
He links Trudeaus smear of the Freedom Convoy to the events in the HoC.
. . . I’d like the Liberals to select one group to be the Master Race of Canada going forward.
Chrystia Freeland’s already deputy PM, so there’s that.
Obergrupenfufher Freeland?
Voila:

Ah how cute. She’s wearing her Grandfathers uniform.
Perogiedammerung Freeland.
Goethe nods.
Perogiedammerung
You owe me a new monitor. This one isn’t coffee-proof.
“optics Hindenburg” is an admittedly droll way of putting it.
But that’s all it is. Optics. The Liberals served up a nice gotcha moment that Putin’s propaganda department and their useful idiots in the western world can use.
But in substance, what does it really mean? Absolutely nothing.
I think it means many ignorant Canadians just learned a piece of history that people like Freeland just hoped would rest in peace. But they chose to go there, and here we are.
LOL – apparently denial is not just a river in Egypt.
It looks like a nazi, smells like a nazi, feels like a nazi, but its a duck, heh.
Perhaps Rota, the Nipissing University “Professor”, just learned a piece of history as well,
Don’t forget Freeland is also George Soro’s personal biographer yet another proud Nazi collaborator.
More a Nazi of opportunity. However, if you criticize ol’ George’s spotted past, you’re automatically an anti Semite. Lie down with Nazis, get up with Zelenskyyyyyyyyy.
It means something outside of Canada. People around the world have just been reminded of Zelenskyy’s Nazi problem at a time when support for his military offensive is decreasing.
Inside Canada, people have just been reminded how ignorant and shallow our political class actually is.
What’s not to like?
Can we start calling her Oberfuherer Freeland now? In public, not just in caucus?
I’m not a great believer of coincidences , so perhaps this fiasco was orchestrated by someone or some group trying to tie Trudeau and or Zolinski to the Nazis ? If some one wanted to set these two up, could it have been planned any better? Notice all of the Uniparty seals clapped in unison. I’m beginning to believe that we are watching a movie. Grab a popcorn and soda.
No, Justatwit and Freebase and their handler Telford truly are this stupid. Remember, this was the gang of fools that thought smuggling a known assassin into a Canadian federal government official reception was a good idea. Remember, this was the gang of fools that thought it a wise idea to corrupt the basic administration of criminal justice.
This was no coincidence. This was SOP for the Coward in the Cottage and his supposed team.
@cgh
Yea but you go right along with them, 9 billion dollars to date and counting.
Not even confirmation of value for money by having a brave team of government journalists embedded with the Azov battalion on the front lines. Remember every other conflict since Vietnam? Instead we get Vanity Fair photo shoots of the prancing coke head Zelensky doing meet and greets with Sean Penn and Bono. I guess we should all just shut up and trust them.
@MarkV
That some of the billions in unaccounted arms to “Europe’s most corrupt country” are now ending up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels & Muslim gangs in places like Sweden fazes few.
Interpol has already warned that the Ukrainian arms will find thier way onto an already well established blackmarket arms trade and become a global problem.
“Sweden hit by ‘unprecedented’ levels of gang violence”
“Last year, 90 explosions and 101 attempted explosive attacks were recorded, according to data from the Swedish police. So far this year, more than 100 explosions have already been recorded.”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/13/sweden-gang-violence-shootings-explosions
Paul, the consequences of abandoning Ukraine to Russia will be far worse than you imagine. And far more costly than $9 billion to date. A similar sort of decision had to be made in 1941 as well with the decision to provide Lend-Lease to the genocidal regime in Moscow.
Yeah right. So they say. And you swallow it.
Kind of like they sold the Vaccines and lock-downs. Yea, the same people ” Justatwit and Freebase” along with thier their globalist handlers.
hook, line & sinker.
I can’t for the life of me see how you’d organize a thing like this. Whereas I can readily see how you might get knee-walking drunk and blunder face-first into it. I’m sticking with the idiot blunder hypothesis.
Where is our resident diarrhea spewing human colon on this? Oh, yeah, still nursing an epic hangover from that killer party in Ottawa with the SS Sturmabteilung. * spit *
When it’s not Trucker nazi’s he’s forced to morph into “Russia, Russia, Russia” right out of Hillary Clinton’s playbook.
The intro of this old guy was disengenuous and didn’t leave much time for those clapping seals to think it over. He was introduced as a freedom fighter that fought the “Russians”, not the Soviets. So most MPs are idiots, we knew that already. But what boils my blood is this propaganda operation right in the house of commons. Eurasia has always been at war with Oceania, or equivalent bullshit. History is very messy in that part of the world, but the Liberals chose to go there, as if nobody would work out that people killing Russians back then were… Nazis. It blew up in their faces and reinforces Putin’s claim at denazification. This is a PR disaster, it embarassed Canada on the world stage and it undermined how the wes is selling this war. And before you ask, when Nazis fight Commies, I don’t have to pick sides.
You could at least pray for an asteroid.
Checkout Wormwood 2029, not saying it is on the way but….
@Pappy: Well, I guess the moron who was in charge of vetting knows little of 20th century, particularly WWII, history.
Putin has justified his invasion of Ukraine on the necessity of liberating the people from Ukraine Nazis. Trudeau brings Zalenskyy to Canada and has him stand and applaud an actual Ukraine Nazi. If Putin had written Trudeau to ask for help with his propaganda efforts in Russia, what would he have done differently??
Regional conflict going back many, many decades if not centuries. All this shows that we should have stayed out of what we don’t understand. The people who claim to know what is going on just spout propaganda. Like most of these conflicts, nothing changes no matter how we wish it would. Afghanistan?
Not even Pseudo to those with an IQ above room temperature!!
Snow White, Superman and Pinocchio are walking down a street when they see a sign announcing a beauty pageant.
Snow White says, “I think I’ll enter.” A few hours she rejoins her friends and says, “I won.”
A little while later, they see a notice for a strongman competition. Superman says, “I’ve got this.” Ans sure enough, he wins.
As the trio continues they see a sign, “Worlds Biggest Liar”. Pinocchio says, “Oh, I have to enter this.”
A while later he exits the building sobbing and crying with tears running down his face.
“What happened?” ask Snow White and Superman.
“Who the f&*k is Justin Trudeau?!?!?”
Nope.
We just saw 338 Representatives of Canadian Citizens and our collective intelligence.
Emperor Justine the Petulant does his “Its noyt my fault comrade’s” Non apology standard speech and the CBC cretins applaud..
Dear Leader is never wrong.
And our elected idiots prove once again ..”Public Education” works.
Yeah, he did the same kind of non-apology when he got caught in Blackface. “All Canadians have a lot of work to do.. etc.”
I am trying to imagine what it was like to be a run of the mill MP. If some ‘hero’ is presented and you don’t clap as everyone else is doing you will be labeled some sort of bigot. If the hero turns out to be a villain and you do vote you are considered an idiot. The MPs should be demanding Justin’s ouster because he misled them. Sadly this whole war in Ukraine has been a massive deception by those in power in the West. It is logically impossible to justify it from a Ukrainian perspective. Out numbered out gunned and your side is the one who started it by shelling innocent Ukrainian civilians in 2014. I think that is the part that bothers me most about Canada’s MPs. They should have all boycotted Zelensky for all of his corruption.
“nauseating pseudo-intellectual” is way too soft and polite, same as Harper’s “just not ready”. No, Turdeau is an idiot and a scumbag. A narcissist and a liar, surrounded by people of same ilk. This was a monumental failure, they wanted to ramp up the PR but no one checked, no one bothered to exercise due diligence. Gov, all the Lieberal clapping seals in Parliament, staff – all a bunch of morons. These guys are not able to run a Tim Horton’s let alone a G7 country.
“These guys are not able to run a Tim Horton’s let alone a G7 country.”
That’s why G7 doesn’t mean much anymore. Canada ranks 10 or higher in the G20 now behind Russia, China, India, and loosing ground quickly to other BRICS countries.
The real reason they want to go to war.
with the Nazis queen Joolenskyy to address parliament, why was there even one cuckservative in attendance. Oh , yah, you can’t shun a Joo, if you are a bible pounder, there’s that.
some in here need to grow up and try doing adult for a change.
666
Yeah, that’s great advice coming from someone who just said “with the Nazis queen Joolenskyy to address parliament, why was there even one cuckservative in attendance. Oh , yah, you can’t shun a Joo, if you are a bible pounder, there’s that.”
Aside from the poor name-calling, the grammar and punctuation is not exactly that of a scholar.
Grow up, indeed!
My sense is that public support for the Ukrainian adventure was waning prior to this fiasco, but this may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
There’s cocaine in the straw.
“My sense is that public support for the Ukrainian adventure was waning prior to this fiasco, but this may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.”
The Americans have clearly had enough as well, as have a growing number of European nations. There is only so log you can continue to throw money at a problem while seeing no results.
When remarking on politics in Canada at this time it’s best to remember Hanlon’s razor. “Never attribute to malice that which is adequetely explained by stupidity.”
Occam’s Razor, put simply, states: “the simplest solution is almost always the best.”
So between malice and stupidity, it’s likely a mixture of both.
I’d reverse that…
“Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.”
I know the Peoples Party of Canada is making notes on the imbecile in Ottawa, but can’t be certain of anyone in the Conservatives doing so, as I didn’t see anyone not stand up to applaud the Nazi in parliament a couple of days ago.
100% stood for this? Anyone see anyone remain seated?
100% support from our Uni-Party Marc.
They truly represent Can Ahh Duh.
My fathers conclusion that “We were shooting the wrong people” regarding his war service is standing the test of time.
None of these nincompoops could run a lemonade stand on a scorching hot day,even with their parents proving the ingredients,they would still turn a loss.
This is what political science produces,MPs so thick they stand up and applaud …well anything they are told to..Why they must be ‘Political Scientists’.
Same 100% that turned a blind eye to the tyranny and thuggery of Dread Covid Theatre.
Not 1 of them stood with the Free Citizens in Ottawa.
All bowed to the State of Thuggery.
They will never resign,that would take self awareness and personal ethics absent in all.
But Madame Guillotine could make them all a little lighter and possibly even smarter.
Useless Protoplasm .
Make them play by their own rules. All Liberals and their voters are now genocidal, blackface supporting nazis. I mean, what do we do with these people? Do we tolerate them?
Well, all Liberal voters are just too dumb after this. I can’t talk to my older Big Sister cause she drank Trudeau 1.0 koolaid and T2.0 can do no wrong, andd all Cons are nazis, Ha!
“In Canada, Hunka remained active in Waffen SS veterans circles and maintained a blog on the Internet where, in the early 2010s, he compared veterans of SS Galizien to Jews, arguing that both groups were spread in worldwide diasporas from their homeland and could only return after several years of exile. As of 2022, Hunka lived in North Bay, Ontario, and travelled to Greater Sudbury to protest against that year’s Russian invasion of Ukraine. Describing the situation in Ukraine, Hunka told CTV News that the “Destruction is just unbelievable but it will take years and years to rebuild it, … But Ukrainians will win and God Bless Ukraine and I pray for it.”
Who in the name of allah didn’t vet this guy? He was quite open about his past, even had a blog FFS! Was Hunka vetted by one of those infamous 25 year old political science grads in the PMO or other government offices? Guys whose knowledge of WW2 was from movies like “Dirty Rotten Basterds”?
I blame Trudeau, and don’t believe Rota acted without the PMO being involved. Btw, Michelle Rempel stated on substack that she wasn’t in the House that day,so only 337 applauded Hunka, unless there were other absentees.
I’m going to throw out this little bone for you people to ponder. Oscar Schindler was a member of the Nazi party and he had no problem profiting from slave labor from concentration camp prisoners’ at the beginning. They made a movie about him and glorified him because he had saved some Jews. Yaroslav Hunka a Ukrainian probably witness the horrors the Russians under the control of the murderous Bolsheviks inflicted onto his Ukrainian country men like the Holodomor so he joined the Waffen SS to fight the Russians and protect his country men or to get revenge, its hard to say. Non of us here today have ever lived under some of the horrendous conditions that many people faced during that bloody conflict and had to make tough decision to survive. Oscar Schindler joined the Nazi party at the beginning because it gave him special privilege’s and inroads to profit from the Nazi war machine at the time. Yaroslav Hunka either joined the Waffen SS as a way to protect his Ukrainian people or for revenge against the Bolshevik Russians I don’t know, but I wont condemn him for his decision. A lot of foreign nationals from all over the world went to join the Ukrainians to fight Russia and what did Russia ever do too them?
The outrage Shawn is not directed at Hunka because he was a soldier fighting in a war. The outrage is directly attributed to Trudeau for bringing this man into the House and honouring him. If Hunka had been any type of soldier he should have refused the invitation and kept his head below the parapet, but that is another story. The point being that for whatever reason Trudeau had for his action, propaganda, electioneering whatever, it was in extremely bad taste. However it is in Canada’s heritage that this kind of thing happens, after all the English after the Plains of Abraham allowed the French to keep their language and as a result we’ve been paying for it ever since. I guess the English at the time didn’t want to repeat the same mistake they made after Culloden. Same with the up and coming National Holiday of Truth and Reconciliation day. Canada must be the only nation on earth where the victors in every conflict take a knee to the losers and subjugate themselves for winning.
Well put.
Is it me?
No comments on the headline?
A layered double entendre…
It’s me isn’t it.
Putin cases on all you bîtchĕs. ;).
The young man (in 1940s Ukraine) faced two choices, basically, Nazis or Communists. It’s easy for virtue signallers to shun him after the choice he did make, but watching Dear Leader throwing his speaker under the bus, I said, “says the son of Fidel Castro,” and if I’m wrong about that, it would be what lawyers call a distinction not a difference.
Same applies now to many in that war zone, do you stand and fight for Putin, the psychotic killer and possibly unreformed KGB agent seeking to rebuild the USSR, or Zelensky, the agent of globalism and its various depravities, and Biden’s deep and unrevealed corruption? Could you blame anybody for walking away and saying, “a pox on both your houses?”
bullseye!
Which is why I refrained from initially proclaiming support for Ukraine when it was apparent that Russia was the aggressor.
The Russians clearly are the aggressor, but as time marches on, we begin to learn Russia’s justification for that aggression, and it’s slowly turning out that they may indeed be the good guys in all of this.
I know people like Colonialista is going to be disappointed hearing me say that, but I will add that there is no denying that Russia clearly were the aggressors in this conflict. It’s just beginning to look like their aggression may indeed be justified when you peel away the layers of this onion. Still, I will let history be the final judge.
“it’s slowly turning out that they may indeed be the good guys in all of this.”
LMAO
Not a fcking chance.
If you look at Russians invading Ukraine, killing civilians and looting their household goods and see a “good guy”, then you better get heavy duty psychiatric help pronto.
”
“it’s slowly turning out that they may indeed be the good guys in all of this.”

A poor choice of words, but still…
“If you look at Russians invading Ukraine, killing civilians and looting their household goods and see a “good guy”, then you better get heavy duty psychiatric help pronto.”
If you look at the Ukrainians you will see them doing the same.
@fc
“….but as time marches on”
Something like Iraq or Libya. Run by dictators, sure, but after billions of wasted dollars and a million dead – based on what we know today, they the people are definitely NOT better off, and neither are we.
@fc:
Now you are being downright stupid silly.
“I know people like Colonialista is going to be disappointed hearing me say that, but I will add that there is no denying that Russia clearly were the aggressors in this conflict. It’s just beginning to look like their aggression may indeed be justified when you peel away the layers of this onion. Still, I will let history be the final judge.”
Me too. The Russians aren’t “the good guys” here, but neither are the Ukrainians. This entire conflict didn’t need to happen, but certain people deliberately made it happen. For power, and money.
All I can say on the matter is that there is no way in hell Trudeau didnt k ow who, what this Pce of shit NAZI PIG was.
A PM detested by the populace at large, him with a 60 man security guard likely paranoid bout somone with Garret 50 cal aimed at his face, would never forgo the full vetting process in order to have a 1 on 2 meeting with Hunka & Zelenskiy.
Not a chance. He knew.
So all this BS bout Rota being the fall guy is classic misdirection when Trudeau tossed him under a haul truck.
And you can easily see the MSM pushing this flat out lie.
Trudeau, the 2 bit untermensche of Klaus Schwabs budding 4th Reich…Just another NAZIfied Globalist POS.
Some here are too lazy to investigate the real reason Russia invaded, it is far easier to swallow the BS that the government is pushing rather than try and get the truth. Fortunately these same people have all lined up for the “safe and effective” injection. For the rest of us there is some consolation in that.
