Trudeau Belittles Canadians In Response To Liberals’ Polling Nosedive

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has never quite been able to learn from his mistakes and take on a more humble attitude in response to the criticisms of the general public, and today is no exception. 

In the aftermath of a cabinet shuffle that saw Trudeau change around 20% of his previous cabinet makeup and a nosedive in the polls for the Liberals in the last few days, Trudeau has decided that Canadians are at fault for disapproving of his government.

In an incredibly belittling statement made in Summerford, Newfoundland, Justin Trudeau said:

The debate right now going on politically seems to be between those who are lying to workers and telling them that the world’s not going to change and everything’s going to stay the way it was versus those of us in government who are saying ‘Yes, the world is changing, but we are incredibly well-positioned to benefit to grow, to create and lead on that change because of the hard work of Canadians, the innovation, the commitment to building better futures for our kids and our grandkids.

You see, it isn’t that Justin Trudeau and his government are performing poorly; exacerbating inflation with high spending and increased taxes, trying to divide Canadians with divisive social rhetoric, and passing legislation that chips away at fundamental freedoms, it’s Canadians’ simplistic minds that are at fault. 

Canadians are just simpletons being lied to by those nasty Conservatives who are somehow against the concept of “change” itself by not opposing oil and gas development and new left-wing social fads. 

It’s all so tiresome.

But still, Trudeau went on to state:

The choice Canadians are increasingly facing in politics is between a responsible, ambitious, forward-thinking government that is preparing for the opportunities of the future and a party that is stoking anger and fear throwing up its hands saying ‘Everything is broken. I’ll reflect the anxiety everyone’s feeling into anger, won’t provide any solutions but we’ll all get mad as hell together.’ That’s not how you build a country. Europe is not just choosing to get off of Russian oil and gas, they’re trying to accelerate the transition to alternative, lower carbon solutions, Canada can and will be a part of that.

After 8 years of experiencing Justin Trudeau’s “green” political solutions and empty idealism Canadians aren’t buying this nonsense anymore. It’s why Abacus Data found only 29 percent of Canadians still approve of the job Trudeau is doing. 

The Liberals’ deficit spending that was supposed to “invest” in Canada’s future turned out to just fuel inflation and expand government payrolls for no benefit to taxpayers. And yet Trudeau still acts like the only problem is Canadians not believing in Trudeau’s vision enough, as if government programs work like Tinkerbell. 

Regardless, the silver lining here is that Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party seem to be out of ideas on how to recover their popularity. The cabinet shuffle represented a big change in faces and names in the cabinet, but no real change in direction. 

Trudeau had gotten too comfortable with the unearned support he garnered through his positive messaging and sycophantic legacy media coverage. Now that his charm has worn off and the media cannot resuscitate his reputation he has no clue what to do.
