Justin Trudeau: the legacy of a narcissist

 

But Canadians have finally seen through the disguises he wears,
and now he is almost gone

Be careful who you let in your home, you may not be able to get them out. But even more important, be careful who you elect to have power over you, for instance Justin Trudeau; his legacy is that he destroyed Canada. And that is the legacy of a narcissist 

Everything is worse in Canada after nine years of Justin Trudeau. We never had homeless people as we do now, we never had middle class people relying on food banks as they do now, before Justin few people relied on food banks, for the rest of us groceries were reasonably priced as were rents, and home ownership was possible for most people. Our health system ran smoothly and we didn't worry about healthcare if we got sick. Recently, in a small Ontario town, over a thousand people lined up in a snow storm to put their names in for a family doctor. For most people having a family doctor is a thing of the past; it's a good thing we have medical assistance in dying, we may not get medical assistance in staying alive (and this is not sarcasm). 

Justin's approval rating has dropped to 16%, but you wouldn't know it as he scurries around, always self-important, and still giving speeches as though he had just been elected, out of breath and sleeves rolled up as he takes a break from his prime ministerial duties to talk to the press. Social justice and self-righteousness oozes from this person. He is the Master of Woke! The Emperor of DEI! We were once a country that welcomed immigrants, now 70% of Canadians think we've taken in too many immigrants and want it stopped. Why? Because Justin let in over a million people without thinking out that they'd need schools, hospitals, places for them to live. He doesn't think anything out. 

He has changed the country for the worst and I really doubt it will ever be what it once was. Take, for instance, foreign affairs: we have fallen out with India, China, and now the United States has turned against us. No wonder Trump hates Justin Trudeau, who can have respect for a fool and Trump is no fool although he is a bad person? Be careful who you elect to have power over you because they will bring along their friends and enemies and other inferior politicians, the opposition is no better than the party in power. Can Pierre Poilievre fix what Trudeau has broken? What about Jagmeet Singh? Jagmeet was in parliament for his pension, killing time until his pension kicked in, and always pretending to oppose Justin's actions. It's Jagmeet the opportunist, always giving press conferences on CBC, his self-importance was obvious; just think, the head of a socialist party who wears a Rolex watch or is it now two Rolex watches? And Yves-François Blanchet the separatist, a puffed-up little man, someone who wants to destroy the country that pays his bills and gives Quebec the most money of any province in transfer payments, $14B a year and mostly from Alberta. Good luck replacing that in the Republic of Quebec.

These politicians are opportunists. Justin squandered our money and now, as a country, we're in more debt than we've ever been in, and it is just when we need to be frugal when Justin is out there spending us into greater debt, and of course his endless mellifluous holier-than-thou Woke speeches. In both official languages. And it was hard getting Justin to say he was going to resign, he hung onto power and was described as "delusional", now he is leaving, even though he pretends it's 2017 and people still like him. 

Quebec is heading for separation and Justin helped them go, he and his Liberal Party gave the Government of Quebec permission to destroy the English language in Quebec with Bill 96.  And Justin's "online harms bill" (still not passed in Parliament) would censor online content if the Liberal party doesn't find it politically correct, it has to be Woke to be online; this is the negation of free speech. Well, folks, count me out from supporting any of these politicians; I don't believe what any of them say or what they say they will do and I don't want anything they say they will do. My message to Canadians: Wake up, slaves! Wake up!  

The impoverishment of language

 

1.

Everywhere life is being reduced, flattened out, and the variety and multiplicity of life is lessened. Small communities are absorbed into cities and cities into a megalopolis; the nation state is being absorbed into larger economic and military alliances, it's only a matter of time before the nation state disappears. And what is the motivation for reducing life, flattening it out, lessening the variety of everyday life? Someone's getting rich, someone else is getting more powerful; and the rest of us are losing out.

Not too many years ago, North American workers saw their jobs moved to other countries where wages are one tenth or less of what was paid to workers here. American workers were told they would have to "recycle" themselves, but this didn't happen, it was an optimistic and false plan from the beginning. It was a flattening out of society, making more people poor, and a reduction of the number of jobs and the variety of jobs, it was a diminishment of the diversity of jobs here. There was also nothing for these people to recycle themselves to, there were no better jobs for them to move up to even if they did reeducate themselves; it was a fairly cynical move on the part of business and government leaders, they were laughing behind their hands. It was enforced poverty on a segment of society that had worked hard and in the past would have moved to middle class status. Some of these former workers ended up unemployed or homeless or on drugs. Some moved on to work for fast food restaurants and some now drive for Uber or Door Dash delivering food for these same restaurants.

Political and economic changes begin with language, with words, and it can be seen all around us. Words are censored, given new meanings, or deleted from the way we speak when they challenge a political agenda that would control the population. People are now afraid to say what they think and feel and justifiably so; now everyone's concerned they aren't politically correct. Certain words aren't allowed to be said. Certain thoughts and ideas aren't allowed to be expressed; you will suffer condemnation, loss of position in society, perhaps your employment, you will be excommunicated, you will be cancelled. Better to shut up and hope for a better future or else you might disappear from your profession, your friends, your old life. The people who forbid freedom of speech used to be the people who championed free speech, now they are the most vociferous opponents of free speech.

Consider that our vocabulary has fewer words, fewer long words, than the vocabulary of people just fifty years ago; with this loss of vocabulary we lose the nuance of expressing sophisticated ideas, we lose how to describe things, whether material or emotional, we become language deprived. The vocabulary of the Victorians was more sophisticated than our present day speech; children today have difficulty reading children's books from the Victorian or Edwardian Age, everywhere people have been dummed down. We've become fat and stupid. An obvious example is the revising of Roald Dahl's books, censoring them according to Woke preconceptions which, basically, dumb people down to the same already low level. The King James Version of the Bible is thought to be too difficult for people to read, in fact the vocabulary of the 1611 translation of the Bible is fairly easy to read and is beautifully written; but read the King James Version? Read Chaucer? Read Milton? Read Shakespeare? Read Walt Whitman and William Blake? They're all by dead white men and their books are heading to the municipal dump.

While our vocabulary today has fewer words what we're allowed to say and what we aren't allowed to say has also been reduced, made subject to what is politically correct. It is made difficult because the politically correct are in the ascendant and they have become mainstream, their ideas have been normalized. I noticed a news broadcaster on CBC, only yesterday, when he mentioned President Trump, he referred to him as "Trump" and he sneered and assumed the audience agreed that Trump deserved this visual and audible condemnation; this television announcer could hardly be criticized, after all, his middle class audience most likely agree with him or why would they be watching the biased CBC news? Whether or not Trump deserves to be sneered at is not my point, it is the underlying assumption of a government employee on a national television network that is subsidized with taxpayers' money expressing a biased opinion on what purports to be a factual reporting of the news. Politically correct assumptions supercede common sense and truth. We may think that government is benevolent because Justin Trudeau keeps telling us that Canadians want to be "safe", but government's motive is power and social control. Forget about being "safe", we all know that "safe" in life doesn't exist.
