Trudeau is unfit to govern

Al Jazeera  

Apparently, Justin Trudeau has no shame. Consider Trudeau’s explanation as to why he hid his racist past from party apparatchiks while he, the son of the late and – in Liberal party quarters – revered Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was supposedly being “vetted”. Of course, the agreeable caricature of Trudeau drawn by a gullible corporate media and easily impressed liberals is that Canada’s “It Boy” is the John F Kennedy-like antithesis of Trump. Indeed, Trudeau owes Trump a deep debt of gratitude because, in all likelihood, the prime minister and his complicit handlers know that, such as the United States president, he will ride out this unfortunately-timed “storm” when the news cycle inevitably turns. Predictably, pundits and academics have sprinted to be on TV or write hastily written newspaper columns to rationalise or put Trudeau’s avowedly bigoted actions in “context”.
