Posted by Is it possible for Trudeau Jr. to possibly spend a day without saying something incredibly stupid while spouting off moral platitudes with his typical arrogant “holier than thou” attitude. Today, we have him trying to brainwash some poor students who were visiting Parliament. “Opposition parties ‘like to shout’ at ‘respectful’ Liberals, Trudeau tells students” is how the Canadian Brainwashing Corporation put it along with a cellphone video documenting the incident. “We try and stay, you know, serious and respectful. They like to shout,” he said of his political foes. “That’s something that happens naturally in opposition.”
Yes, Trudeau and his Liberals are the epitome of respectful and dignified behavior while the Conservatives are just a bunch of knuckle-dragging Neanderthals who like to grunt and shout a lot. Except of course when Trudeau is calling one of them a “piece of shit” in the middle of Parliament and then offers a very insincere apology afterwards for using “language that was most decidedly unparliamentary”. You know, I don’t care if you use coarse language in Parliament. In fact I want my politicians to be passionate and animated and if that means sometimes they slip up and drop an F-bomb, I’m OK with that. But don’t be a douche-bag about it and pretend with a smug morally superior attitude that you are above all that.
If Trudeau junior was actually really smart, I would probably let it slide. The problem is that he exudes annoying arrogance in his mannerism and speech without any real justification for it. Like when he drops the F-bomb at a charity boxing match which I actually could care less about, its the speech beforehand that is particularly grating.
I mean listen to what he says. “There is no experience like stepping into this ring. And measuring yourself… All the… your name, your fortune, your intelligence, your beauty… none of that fucking matters.” In other words, this is how Trudeau really sees himself. He’s not completely oblivious; He knows his family name got him to where he is at. He also knows he has money, but that comes from a trust fund, not from his own hard work and business savvy. He also thinks he’s pretty smart (something the rest of us don’t see). He also thinks he’s pretty handsome, which is probably true given how much the media foisted that narrative. I mean, it’s hard not to believe it when GQ puts a politician on its cover and labels you “the most stylish man alive”.
Yes, he is an arrogant entitled rich kid despite his liberal pretentions. In an unguarded moment (don’t know who recorded this) with his wife at a cocktail reception, this is what he has to say:
“I was put on this planet to do this. I fight and I win. That’s what I’m good at. No mais c’est vrai (But it’s true)…” Heck even Sophie has to admonish him and tell him to “be humble.” In the final analysis, without his family name and trust fund fortune, what has Trudeau junior done to merit this level of hubris and arrogance. He has a bachelor of art from McGill University and a bachelor of education from the University of British Columbia which are good schools but what did he do with that advantage. He worked as a teacher for a few years then didn’t complete an engineering program at École Polytechnique in Montreal, from 2002 to 2003. Then did one year of a master’s program in environmental geography at McGill University, from 2004 to 2005. So basically he bounced around a lot and went to school a lot (and not completing a lot) – almost a picture perfect resume of a entitled trust-fund boy who has no clue what they want to do in life but due to privilege, also never had any pressure to actually do something. So prior to leveraging his father’s name to catapult him to the top of Canadian politics (and maybe also due to his GQ good looks), he managed to accomplish exactly nothing with his life.
Is he smart? Well, I like to make a clear distinction between being educated and being intelligent as my own personal experience tells me the two are often not correlated. So Trudeau is certainly educated but when he makes idiotic comments like “the budget will balance itself”, it doesn’t bode well for your credibility as the man responsible for the fiscal health of a G7 country.
I have said if before and I will say it again. I hated Justin Trudeau’s father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, and his policies; especially with regards to his National Energy Program and his complete disregard and raping of the western half of this country. He was also not the personification of a dignified parliamentarian when he gave protesters the finger in British Columbia (the thumbnail for this article); a symbol that to this day is known to people in the west as the “Trudeau Salute”.
But unlike his vacuous and pampered son, Trudeau senior was a very intelligent man and a great statesman and politician. While researching this piece, I came across a piece of CBC archival footage of Trudeau senior being ambushed by a reporter about the military presence around Parliament Hill following his invoking of the War Measures Act (in Canadian parlance, the equivalent of enacting martial law) after the kidnapping of Quebec provincial Deputy Premier Pierre Laporte (who was later murder) and British diplomat James Cross by the domestic terrorist organisation the Front de libération du Québec. The infamous “October Crisis” of 1970.
Just listen to his comments at the end (I clipped the six minute interview).
P.E. Trudeau: “Yeah well there’s a lot of bleeding hearts running around who just don’t like to see people with helmets and guns. All I can say is that is go on and bleed but it is more important to keep law and order in this society than to be worried about weak-kneed people who don’t like the looks of a soldier in helmet.”
CBC Reporter: “At any cost? How far would you go with that? How far would you extend that?”
P.E. Trudeau: “Well just watch me.”
Now that is the confidence and chutzpah of a real leader. Not the politically-correct SJW pap (diversity is our strength, we are inclusive and caring, people-kind) that his stupid son spews ad infinitum in a pathetic attempt to appear intelligent and clever.
