This Just In

Our country much less free,
filled with much misery: Justin's a jerk.
Blaming his enemies, cause of his own defeat;
Jody should kick him in his seat: Justin is a jerk.
A Catholic-In-Name-Only politician could learn much from his political colleagues if he would allow himself to be instructed in the ethical management of the people's business, i.e., the proper stewardship of the people's resources.
Lent, it seems, has been wasted by Prime Minister Trudeau. Given his very public antipathy toward anyone who deviates from or challenges his liberal religion, there is little hope that he would find something in the practice of the Faith that would lead him to admit, at the very least, to an error in judgement. Like so many of our Canadian Catholic brethren, the Trudeaus are more Canadian than Catholic: nice to the point of being giddily eager to tolerate threats to inalienable rights. So much the Kennedys of Canada, the Trudeaus have become the epitome of liberal religion that others can lug around as their accompaniment into a mere gradualism, a tolerance of sin.

There really can be no surprise to others when a man so dedicated to promoting party power over personal integrity rushes to suppress freedom of conscience. Surely Liberal MPs must know that their role in a government headed by a petulant and vindictive prime minister necessarily means that their lives are severely restrained by two ropes:
- the limp tightrope of conformity to leftist (liberal-fascist) ideology upon which members and all Canadians must attempt to walk;
- and the rope of censure around every Liberal MP's neck, a rope that tightens each time a member crosses or falls from that line of conformity.
What do the Prime Minister's actions say to freedom-loving Canadians when members of the governing party speak the truth to hold accountable that same Prime Minister and their complaint causes them to be cast aside and blamed for that Prime Minister's apparent inability to ensure that the business of governing is ethical and transparent?

This is all on the Liberal and Laurentian elites who were so desperate to regain power that they stroked the ego of Justin Trudeau to run for its leadership knowing that his last name might be enough to carry them over the goal line. They were correct. Unfortunately two things have been revealed as a result. The first is that the Canadian electorate is easily bamboozled (with the aid of CBC and other media outlets) with retail politics and not prepared to really pay attention to the issues at hand. The second, and now on full display, is that Justin Trudeau should never have run for the office of Prime Minister. Not because he doesn't have that right but because he has never lived up to his family name. He has not done anything to earn his stripes and to carry on the legacy of his father (good or bad) and show that he had the ability to lead. What we have just read from Jane Philpott is something that Justin Trudeau in his dreams could never conjure. His temper and his ego have been on full display for the last two months, he has not had the temerity to come clean with Canadians and, instead, has trodden on two women with a backbone to further the Liberal Party cause. Shame on you Mr. Trudeau but for those of us who know you well we saw it all coming and it is really no surprise.
In 2014, the Archbishop of Edmonton offered a warning largely unheeded by Catholics, a large block that shifted its vote and aided Trudeau's political ascent:
(Archbishop) Smith referred to Trudeau’s comments as “dictatorial” and contrary to fundamental human rights.
“Here we have a man who would like to be Prime Minister some day, dictating to party members that they must vote against fundamental human rights,” he said, referring to the right to life but extending that to the right to freedom of expression and freedom of conscience.
He added the very idea of making it party policy creates a practical problem as well.
