Justin Trudeau Destroyed Canada to Extend Policies That Have Already Failed

Yet another entry in pointless discrimination and division due to COVID policy

Nearly everyone is aware by now that for several weeks, a massive number of Canadian truckers have been protesting vaccine mandates and COVID policies in Ottawa and other parts of the country.

Their efforts have been generally successful, with numerous provinces lifting some or most of their COVID mandates and restrictions, and on the ground conversations with protestors have revealed valid questions and eminently reasonable concerns.

But perhaps their greatest success has been exposing Justin Trudeau as a delusional, incompetent authoritarian.

Trudeau’s likely unconstitutional invocation of the “Emergencies Act,” meant in theory to deal with terrorist uprisings, gives the government extraordinary power to seize bank assets, for example. His language, describing truckers and protestors as racists while ignoring his own history of blackface, has become increasingly extreme.

The policy has been met with anger, resentment and embarrassment among many Canadians and disdain on the international stage.

Trudeau added to the national outrage the other day by accusing a Jewish MP of standing with swastikas and repeatedly refusing to apologize for his astonishing ignorance and demonization.

It’s not hard to pile on his frequent missteps and disturbing lack of decorum and awareness, but what’s most infuriating about his incredible dedication to COVID mandates is that the policies he’s defending demonstrably do not work.

[...]

Justin Trudeau’s inexcusable, dangerous, divisive rhetoric has been in defense of policies that have provably failed to accomplish anything in his own country, no matter where you look.

His determination to continue these policies, well after it’s been conclusively determined that there is no benefit and obvious demonstrable harms, is utterly bewildering.

There is no conceivable excuse for continuing these discriminatory policies; vaccinated people can easily get and spread COVID, mask mandates have been completely useless against the spread of a highly infectious respiratory virus, just as we always knew they would be. Vaccine passports have proven ineffective, everywhere on earth.

There is also no scientific data or evidence to suggest that forcing vaccine mandates on truckers, many of whom are already vaccinated or have likely contracted COVID, will accomplish anything valuable whatsoever.

Refusing to accept reality has been a hallmark of COVID policy throughout the pandemic, and Trudeau’s dedication to a policy with no clear societal benefit and massive harms is the latest example of a politician committing to nonsensical, disproven measures to avoid admitting their own failure and maintain an illusion of control.

Trudeau could easily acknowledge the overwhelming evidence that the policies and mandates are unnecessary, but instead he’s inflamed tensions and increased divisions over interventions that are completely useless. His only accomplishment has been to turn his country into a disturbing punchline — yet another bookmark for historians to refer back to in the years to come to illustrate the dangerous effects of government overreach during COVID.
