The all-knowing, Teen Beat Magazine cover-looking, son of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Justin Trudeau, made a boo-boo. He inherited his Prime Ministering bitness from his dad, so he thought things would be easy. The media gives lefties a pass, even if they enjoy dressing in blackface — a lot.
What the junior Trudeau did was to “mis-underestimate” (as “Dubya” Bush, our junior President, used to say), the power of the working people. Until now, the article of faith of those who inherit liberal-elite political positions is that if they just say that they are for the “little people,” the fools will buy it. No one holds them to account for what they actually do. Words Matter; Actions Do Not seems to be their creed.
Taking his cue from other hypocritical leftie leaders, Trudeau hid behind his political interpretation of “science” to impose Draconian COVID measures on his subjects. He said that by making vaccines mandatory, he was the true hero. He decreed that those truckers, who drive alone in their truck cabs for a living, get vaccinated so they do not get COVID. You know, like Trudeau did.
Trudeau and Biden felt they needed to reassert their central command and control over their voters to stop the disconcerting spike in personal freedoms they were seeing starting to spread around their countries.
Mad at this and other arrogant decisions made by the Prime Minister Junior on High, truckers in Canada formed the largest trucker convoy in history to protest. But the article of faith among woke libs is that the only protests allowed are the BLM kind, where many buildings burn and people die.
This trucker protest is like the January 6th protests at the Capitol in D.C.: leftie pols really cry when the people rise up against them. It is healthy for democracy when politicians are a little afraid of their subjects.
James Hoffa and other labor leaders showed their colors, or in this case colours, when they sided with their puppet masters in government rather than truckers. My dad was a truck driver for Campbell 66 back in the day. Their motto, when you could have interesting mottoes, was a camel on the side of his truck that said, “humping to please!”, which was also the 1986 Arkansas gubernatorial campaign slogan for Bill Clinton. I learned from my dad to be nice to truckers; they drive the flyover country and know places where no one will find your body.
The old Mafia-like trucker unions cared about their trucker buddies. One of my dad’s trucker friends crossed the other truckers one time and they Tonya Harding’ed his leg, cutting half of it off. Just to make sure everyone remembered the incident, they made the guy go work at IHOP.
The way the corporate left-wing media covers protests is stark. If right-of-center Tea Party folks or truckers protest, they are “insurrectionists.” No one dies and they make their point, but somehow they are “terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “threats to democracy.” If you think about it, peaceful protest is the definition of democracy. Petulant politicians who cry and fake injury like a soccer player are the reasons the common man has to unite and make his reasoned point.
I get that truckers slowing down deliveries hurts the economy. But it makes the broader point, that they grease the wheels of the economy. Trudeau has declared Martial Law, so he has unchecked power.
Hitler wannabe, Justin Trudeau, is getting his first real economics lesson. Without truckers, he could not get his steady supply of Al Jolson brand blackface. Fittingly, he is down to just a little black shoe polish, just enough to put on two fingers so he can do a small mustache for himself.
Last year we honored healthcare workers. This year we should honor truckers. And next year under Biden we should honor Taco Bell, the only place you can still get gas for under $5.
The left somehow thinks they are so smart, powerful and concerned about you that they, and only they, can make healthcare decisions for you and for private enterprise. And they do have a monopoly on this since Democrats Bill Clinton, Andrew Cuomo and Harvey Weinstein perfected the construct of “No Jab, No Job” for female employees. Like many American corporations and now the Canadian government say to the truckers about the vaccine, “put this in your body, or you will never work in this industry again.” Again, this sounds like something Clinton, Cuomo and Weinstein may have said.
