Trudeau’s turn from cool to laughing stock
Trudeau with another corrupt Marxist, Dilma Rousseff the now impeached former president of Brazil.
For the record I’ve never thought of Trudeau as “cool.” More “tool” than cool.
Trudeau’s boneheaded love letter to Castro is a great example of why the utmost caution should be used when dealing with “progressive” politicians. It seems, at least to me, that there is always a quiet (and sometimes not so quiet) affinity for authoritarianism.
(From McLeans)
A “controversial figure,” sure, but: “I know my father was very proud to call him a friend and I had the opportunity to meet Fidel when my father passed away. It was also a real honour to meet his three sons and his brother, President Raúl Castro, during my recent visit to Cuba. On behalf of all Canadians, Sophie and I offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends and many, many supporters of Mr. Castro. We join the people of Cuba today in mourning the loss of this remarkable leader.”
And so, from far-off Antananarivo, Madagascar, where he was attending the 80-government gathering of La Francophonie, Trudeau’s lament for the last of the Cold War dictators ended up confirming every wicked caricature of his own vacuity and every lampoon of the Trudeau government’s foreign-policy lack of seriousness.
Twitter lit up with hilarious mockeries under the hashtag #trudeaueulogies. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio wanted to know whether Trudeau’s statement came from a parody account. The impeccably liberal Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlanticmagazine, called Trudeau’s praise of Castro “a sad statement for the leader of a democracy to make.”
