As Canadians get ready to vote in October, it’s worth casting an eye over the first-term career of Justin Trudeau and asking: what’s behind the unicorns and rainbows?
Trudeau is, of course, one of the globalist left’s golden trio, along with Emmanuel Macron and Jacinda Ardern. BFD readers will already be aware that the rest of the world sees Ardern in a very different light to the folks back ‘ome. The world only gets to see the baby-toting, sad-faces-and-hijabs hugger; Kiwibuild, Ihumatao, sexual assault scandals – these are complete mysteries outside of New Zealand.
As this analysis from The Post-Millennial shows, Justin Trudeau’s glittery international reputation is just as fake as Jacinda’s fairy-floss.
We’ve heard of the realpolitik behind Angela Merkel, or Vladimir Putin and other world leaders, but have we ever heard of the realpolitik driving Justin Trudeau?
I’m not saying that there truly aren’t Liberal members who are beholden to higher ideals beyond being reelected…it’s clear as daylight that the Liberals are not interested in ideological purity when two of the party’s most principled MPs, Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott, are ejected from the caucus.
The truth is, throughout history Liberals have been the party of sell-outs. Liberal Party leaders have skittered across the political spectrum with the sole interest of casting the widest web to secure votes, and Justin Trudeau is by no means of a different breed.
Like Ardern, Trudeau jumped on the “Orange Man Bad!”, virtue-signalling bandwagon. Yet, behind the scenes, his government’s record is more like war-mongering Obama’s than peace-making Trump’s.
Trudeau’s posturing against US President Donald Trump is about as intimidating as a feathered peacock. There’s a lot of flair, but very little substance.
The reality is that shortly after Trump’s ascendancy into the White House, Trudeau’s own staff took cues from not only the President himself but from his former Chief Strategist, Steve Bannon…
Trudeau’s government hasn’t only continued Harper’s approach to military intervention world-wide, they’ve actually accelerated it and have gone further than Harper even dared to.
As has been revealed recently, for all her public posing as the Merkel of the South Pacific, Ardern has secretly taken much the same hard line on asylum seekers as the supposedly wicked, amoral, Australian conservative government. Trudeau’s posturing on border policies is just as two-faced.
There is probably no greater turnabout on perceived Liberal principals than the federal government’s recent approach to the border crisis.
Earlier this week it was revealed that the Liberals included a new change to the Refugee Protection Act which would bar asylum applicants from making claims in Canada if they already have an application in another country.
Initially, Justin Trudeau’s policy on the illegal US-Canada border crossings was encapsulated by the PM’s 2015 “Welcome to Canada” tweet. For a while after that, his government simply turned a blind eye to the situation.
Furthermore, his Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen called any and all attempts to solve the border situation xenophobic and racist, even going so far as suggesting that the Conservatives had a “half-baked” plan to militarize the border, when in reality they hoped to close the Safe Third Country Agreement loopholes which are at the root of the problem.
Now, while his government underhandedly adopted the Conservative solution and is pursuing talks with US officials to fix the border, Hussen is defending the Liberal’s proposed solution to prevent “asylum shopping”.

As always with these “compassionate” leftists, it’s advisable to keep a close eye on what they do, rather than what their media cheer-squadders say about them.
