Protests at Trudeau rallies an evolution of far-right ideology, says expert

The protests that have dogged Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s election campaign for weeks shouldn’t come as a surprise after months of demonstrations against COVID-19 restrictions, says one extremism researcher.

“These people have been protesting against COVID for a long time. People were kind of shocked at the vitriol and the violent rhetoric — and the violence itself — that these people are bringing to the campaign trail,” said Evan Balgord, executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.

“We’re not surprised by it because these people, these COVID conspiracy types, have been very violent for months.”

Have Canadians wearied of Trudeau’s vapid wokeness?

Will the world’s wokest leader be reelected? When Justin Trudeau called the election to Canada’s 44th Parliament at the end of August, he was comfortably ahead in the polls. Crises bolster all but the most obviously useless incumbents, and Canada has had, as measured by deaths, vaccine rollout, and economic impact, a better pandemic than many comparable countries.

The pleasant, handsome, vapid prime minister, who has been leading a minority government since the 2019 election, understandably saw an opportunity to give himself an absolute majority.

‘In that moment, I knew he wanted me to lie.’ Jody Wilson-Raybould recalls a tension-filled meeting with Justin Trudeau

The sun was flooding through the third-floor windows of the Signature private plane terminal at Vancouver International Airport as I sat waiting for the Prime Minister to arrive. The terminal is distant and isolated, far from the bustling main terminal and the eyes of the public and the media. My husband, Tim, had dropped me off and then parked to wait for me among the cars of the Prime Minister’s motorcade. The PM was late. Building in me was a creeping realization that this was the beginning of the end. It was here. The time had come.

Why Justin Trudeau Has Indulged In Six Years Of Canadian Self-Hatred

“There are stories of us scapegoating minorities in this country that, unfortunately, is a part of our past — to leave aside the shameful colonial history that we’re trying to reconcile.”

“There are many institutions that we have in this country, including that big building across the street from us, Parliament, that has and is built around a system of colonialism, or discrimination or systemic racism.”

Trudeau says he ‘won’t back down’ from anti-vaxx protesters

A rocky start in the polls for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals has been compounded with intense and vitriolic protests in different parts of Ontario.

The crowds, which have been seen holding signs protesting vaccines and COVID-19 measures have often spewed insults and obscenities towards Trudeau, Liberal supporters and media. At times, they’ve followed him along the campaign trail, but Trudeau said the constant pressure from the outspoken minority hasn’t changed his outlook.
