How Canadians are being ill-informed... by the news

But those 'awake' describe Trudeau as 'dictator who speaks of others with disgust'

By Anita Krishna

A FEW years ago, some of us felt proud to have a young, bright, leader with moisturised skin and hair that looked freshly blow dried. Justin Trudeau, son of a former Prime Minister, seemed to be a man perfectly “groomed” for the job. But, as it turned out, not in the way we would like.

When the truckers headed to Ottawa to make a stand against mandates, he showed no respect for them or other citizens. Instead, our PM fuelled this whole nonsense rhetoric about who is funding them, that they could be terrorists, racists, insurgents, a fringe minority with questionable views. There have been coups in other countries for lesser things.

I asked a neighbour, a man in his 40’s, what he thought. He watches mainstream news and nothing else and he said, “you can’t have a terrorist group funded by who knows what, threatening to overthrow the government, that’s not democracy”.

No, it is not a democracy here at all. This man had no idea about how Trudeau had frozen the personal bank accounts of those who donated to the convoy. Working-class people who gave what little money they had. He also knew nothing of the lady being trampled by a Royal Canadian Mounted Police horse, nor did he know about peaceful truckers like Csaba Viza being kneed repeatedly by police, all on video.

He does not know anything because he watches the local news here. He is ill-informed by the news but he acquiesced a little and said: “I guess that’s like taking a sledgehammer to a walnut.”

But he still thinks the truckers are wild heathens with no good intentions.

I talked to Mario, a firefighter from Vancouver, who says it is 50/50, the people paying attention believe Trudeau is now a bit of a sociopath. Those not paying attention have neutral views. Mario says: “Trudeau is a silver spoon fed baby, groomed to take that position and won’t let George Soros, the World Economic Forum and the One World Government down.”

He feels Trudeau has a God complex and he cannot let anything stand in the way of the Great Reset.

Mario also acknowledges that he feels crazy even saying this. He says: “It sounds out there, but if you can’t see it by now…what’s it going to take?”

Digital ID’s are coming, you will own nothing and you will be happy is well on the way.

Glenda is an entrepreneur from Calgary, Alberta and she says she does not trust the PM. Here is what she told me: “He twists everything he says to achieve his own narrative to the point it causes great concern whenever he goes to his podium to speak.

“He is against Canadians and actively harming our country’s economy and more. He carries out totalitarian actions while using a soft soothing voice or behaves child like while speaking of others in utter disgust.

“After the way he ignored the peaceful trucker convoy, demonised them, put the emergency act in force, brought in the police/military to physically harm protestors, seized bank accounts, semi trucks, trailers and other automobiles, I’m left feeling very fearful of his next actions.

“He plays the Canadian citizens against one another through the propagandist media he has bought and paid for with Canadian taxpayer dollars. I don’t recognise the feel of our beautiful Canada, Justin Trudeau is a dictator.”

Tara, an author from Toronto said: “Our Prime Minister’s plan to divide and stigmatise Canadians by politicising vaccine mandates and restrictions is apparent.

“As Canadians, we are worried about Trudeau normalising vaccine passports mandates and requirements for travellers such as myself; how shall we travel for work? For family vacations? Where is the line between public health and politics? Where does it begin and where does it end? There is no certain answer.”

Most of us Canadians are frightened of the future, his divisive rhetoric will take years to heal the division among Canadians. What our country needs is peace and trust in our political leadership and it’s concluded by many who once loved and adored our Prime Minister, he is not fit for the task at hand.

You can see we are hurt as a nation, we feel unprotected by our leaders. Trudeau has, by the way, been in the UK talking about how he will stand up to Russia and protect sovereignty and democracy. He should add hypocrisy to the list.

And so here we are floating around in a sea of ignorance by so many who view the news, as the news it used to be. Unbiased, but the bias is seething and pouring out of every item run in each mainstream newscast.

I can see it plain as day as someone who came from there, people paying attention can see it plain as day also, but what about those who aren’t aware yet? We need their energy too. We’re about to be hit over the head by an even bigger alarm very soon and you just cannot keep hitting snooze.
