Justin Trudeau can’t run away from embarrassing himself

Justin Trudeau isn’t the prime minister of Canada anymore. He’s not a Liberal MP. He stayed out of the fray during last month’s federal election. He’s been under the radar for months, and is reportedly renting a home in Ottawa. Other than a brief excursion to a Canadian tire store, which led him to take a predictable selfie, he’s largely disappeared from public life.

Everything came to a crashing halt this week. Trudeau proved once again that he can’t run away from embarrassing himself. Literally, in fact.

Trudeau says dealing with Trump will be ’a little more challenging’ than last time

Speaking at an event put on by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, Trudeau said that’s because Trump’s team is coming in with a much clearer set of ideas of what they want to do right away than after his first election win in 2016.

Even still, Trudeau said the answer is not to panic and said Canada can rally together to address the tough scenario the nation will face following Trump’s inauguration in January.

From ‘far-left lunatic’ to ‘they say he’s the son of Fidel Castro,’ Trump takes aim at Trudeau

Canada’s global reputation suffering under Trudeau, Garneau asserts in autobiography

Former foreign affairs minister Marc Garneau says Canada has lost its standing in the world under the tenure of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom he criticizes as an ill-prepared leader who prioritizes politics and makes big pronouncements without any follow-through.

“I believe Justin Trudeau has overestimated Canada’s impact abroad,” Garneau writes in his autobiography, A Most Extraordinary Ride: Space, Politics and the Pursuit of a Canadian Dream, which is scheduled to be released in October by Penguin Random House.

Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden are two leaders with one problem: Many of their supporters think their time is up

Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that he’s headed for Washington next week. What will he and President Joe Biden be talking about, behind the scenes at the NATO summit?

Endurance might be one topic. It’s been a bad week for Trudeau and Biden — arguably their worst weeks — with increasingly open questions of whether either leader should be hanging on.

Trudeau has empowered Canada’s pimp lobby

Objectification is never empowering

“You’re all a bunch of feminists, and I hate feminists!” shouted Marc Lépine as he gunned down 14 female engineering students in Montreal in 1989. I first visited the city in 2012 to write about this particularly horrific, misogynistic massacre. And every time I return, I see the terrible toll that unbridled male violence takes on women and girls.

Justin Trudeau has been a disaster for women here. He has done nothing to stem the violence and abuse faced by indigenous women, has made single-sex shelters illegal while supporting the blanket decriminalisation of pimping, brothel-keeping and sex-buying — and all in the name of “freedom and choice for women”.
