Trudeau Steps Down

[Jimmy Higgins]

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau steps down after a long run in the PM spot, as the leader of Canada. Justin Trudeau exemplifies the phrase "well spoken", as it seemed his best attribute. His father, Pierre Trudeau, was a noted figurehead PM back in the 70s/80s. A royal pain in the GOP ass, back when the GOP weren't a bunch of Gumbys. Trudeau spoke very well, in a Clinton-esque sort of way. He seemingly bumbled from time to time, but he was always able to get through it.

The Liberal Party is suffering from "Been in power too long" angst. And Trudeau was the focal point for this. The Canadian public is generally liberal, and the NDP stopped fucking elections up for the Liberals, which with dealing with "Been in power too long" angst impacting the Conservatives, helped the liberal folks regain power a decade ago. The Liberals are trying not to cede power back to the conservatives. Chrystia Freeland and Mélanie Joly are likely the front runners for the PM post and will try to both 1) right the Liberal ship before elections in October to maintain control of Parliament and consequently 2) not repeat a Kim Campbell and be the second woman in Canadian (-ien) history to serve about 6 to 8 months.

I ponder a shift to Quebec to try and solidify votes and going with Joly.

Good riddance to a woke despot.

Justin Trudeau a despot?!

His colors were revealed with his handling of the trucker protest. When Canada froze financial assets for the truckers protesting I put that firmly in the category of "no respect for private property". Perhaps Trudeau was doing his good deed, perceived as a good reason in his eyes....but the end result becomes a people who will fear and know what their government can and will do next to them. Although the US also does have asset forfeiture laws as well (unfortunately). And also does seize private property without due process by police at times (drug war), the US at least still have not seized any assets of any protesters.....yet. The US is still pretending to be a democracy.

Before you start to tell me that Trudeau's tyranny justified his means, most democracies do have laws providing due process for law breakers. You break the law, you go to court, and you go to jail. I'm fine with all that.

What I'm not fine with and never will be fine with is the taking of property without due process like Trudeau did. Taking property from people before anything has been proven in a court of law. That is the foundation of a despot thug. And it is also coincidentally takes away any desire for people to have motivation to succeed and produce.

As I understand it, Justin seized "Go Fund Me" accounts that were sent to truckers by people who believed in their political cause. The taking of funds of a private transaction represented by 2 private parties. Perhaps a case could even be made against the conduct of the truckers that they might not be considered a political protest event, But what about the people who sent the money to them? What did they do wrong except for giving to charity to help people survive? It was despot thug tyranny in the first degree.

Canada is lucky to be rid of him.

Want to post a timeline of those events?

No you aren't.

What property was taken again?

As I understand it,

Here we go... the RVonse, I haven't bothered to actually look up any of the following disclaimer.

So... care to link a report to any part of that claim? That was a rhetorical question.

If Trudeau is such a "despot," then he wouldn't be stepping down, would he? Despots are overthrown or assassinated. They don't deliver a speech and assist in the peaceful transition to a new government. Yet to hear you tell it, Trudeau was a power-mad psycho. Do you even read your drivel before you post it?

So is that a concession? Accounts were frozen. Gofundme froze an account. People were refunded their money and the accounts were unfrozen.

So what did the despot actually take?

Its the same tactics the IRS uses on US citizens. The authorities can come in at anytime and empty your bank savings even before due process or coming to any judge. Whether those affected people got refunded later is not known to me. But that is irrelevant to the terror of the tyranny that was taking place, nor would those people have any idea their money might be returned later at the moment it took place.

Thank you for clarification of my bad communications Ford. I should have wrote that Justine Trudeau was a "would be aspiring thug despot" who got thrown out on his ass by the Canadian people and for good reason.

It is not the same tactic in one important aspect: a frozen asset is not taken and ownership remains with no access.

Well, you certainly love asserting stuff.

You didn't bother to look. You never bother to look or research. link

Organizers provided a clear distribution plan for the initial $1M that was released earlier this week and confirmed funds would be used only for participants who traveled to Ottawa to participate in a peaceful protest. Given how this situation has evolved, no further funds will be directly distributed to the Freedom Convoy organizers — we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers and verified by GoFundMe.

All donors may submit a request for a full refund until February 19th, 2022 using this dedicated refund form.

But that is irrelevant to the terror of the tyranny that was taking place nor would those people have any idea their money might be returned later.

In Ukraine, the Russians were invading, murdering Ukrainians, as Ukrainians fought for their survival.

At the same time, in Canada, there were pandemic related restrictions that were being protested by truckers who shut down portions of Ottawa. They were allowed to have their say. Crimes were committed and they refused to leave.

It is quite something how little you seem to understand the word tyranny.

Bad communications? No, you have a piss poor understanding of what actually happened.
