1. The Russians, Chinese, and Republican Americans hate Trudeau. Any nefarious forces that are in play are actually out to get him.
-- with Russia, it's nothing personal. Putin's #1 goal is to make citizens in every western country think that their democracies are useless, and that their political leadership is utterly corrupt. Everyone now knows that Russia was a huge influence in electing Trump -- and bringing the USA closer to a new civil war -- and also a huge influence in getting the British to break from the EU, thereby throwing British governance and economy into disarray.
-- the Chinese hate Trudeau because he keeps reminding them of their appalling record on human rights.
-- Republicans hate him because he's in favour of "socialist" programs like universal healthcare and gun control. He and Freeland also made Trump look bad on the revised free trade agreement.
2. More than half of the GoSendMe money raised for the so-called Freedom Convoy came from American right-wingers, including far right talking heads and Q-Anon types. These folks come mainly from the Canadian People's Party, the Maverick separatists in Alberta, Canadian acolytes of Donald Trump, and organizations like Proud Boys and Q-Anon. For every decent hardworking sane Canadian who was really unhappy with the Covid restrictions, there were (and are) 2 or 3 folks in the far-right conspiracy theory camp.
-- fwiw, my own conspiracy theory is that Russian troll armies helped fan the flames of anger and discord throughout the whole ridiculously juvenile affair.
3. The whole idea that Justin was "put in" by mysterious globalist players like George Soros to finish some mysterious job of transforming Canada from a thriving democracy into a "Communist-style dictatorship" is just funny. It's TOTAL OFF-the-WALL WHACKO BULL-SHYTE.
Well said Yasch....A BIG thumbs up.....
