Time for a trip down memory lane. It's been a year since the lockdowns and restrictions kicked into high gear here in Canada.
The only change for Canada in the last 12 months is that we apparently have what is called a "vaccine" for the beer virus. Few people have seen it however.
Trudeau admits that it has been slow in coming. The PM spoke with NBC's Meet the Press on Feb 28th, saying that Canada's vaccine response has been slow. But he also said with new vaccines being approved, 'we're going to have everyone vaccinated probably by the end of the summer.' The underlining is mine. We'll probably be vaccinated. Those of us who are left.
Good news for the US however. You will be living next to a vacant lot.
WARNING: Graphic images of Trudeau.
Trudeau does not inspire confidence. Canadians will "probably be vaccinated" Sunny ways! ---
No foreigners allowed in, except US citizens. Four airports are open, but with restricted travel practices in effect. Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. Continue self-isolation. Stay home. Daily Health Canada briefings.
Don't panic buy. Help your older or ill neighbours. Group hug...wait...social distancing in effect. Simulated group hug.
C'est toute maintenant. Plus de changements suivront, k? That's it for now. More changes coming.
I think that's a fair assessment if the COVID troubles continue. He will be seen as the provider of COVID bux, vaccine and gun legislation.
Trudeau's government is trapped. The Liberals have to continue giving out COVID dollars to individuals which makes it difficult to help businesses and the economy. There simply isn't enough money to go around. But if he cuts or radically changes the cash distribution to Canadians, he will lose votes. People will get angry if the government stops sending them their COVID cheques. Voters will turn on the Liberals.
This, to me, explains why the Liberals introduced the firearms legislation. We know they have to put as many vote buying ideas in front of the public as they can. But they are a minority government, so they have to tread lightly. Anti gun stuff is safe ground and buys them votes in the big cities..
I believe I posted this on another thread, but if the gun legislation fails, Bill Blair's head will roll. Justin and the Liberals will be safe. If the vaccine rollout gets fouled up, he has the provincial premiers and their ministers of health to take the fall. At the federal level, he has a serving and retired general to take the fall for him. If his handlers play their cards right, the Liberals will have enough good stuff out there to be re-elected as a majority..
Remember, this is a game of chess. Justin isn't playing. He is like the king. That is, he has extremely limited movement and has pawns which will take the hits for him as the opposition approaches. The object is to checkmate the Liberals, In the game of chess, the king is powerless to stop the opposition and depends on other pieces to protect him.
Yes he may not need to wait for the 2 million immigrants and refugees to be be installed in Alberta, Sask, BC before the next election, since he now has a liberal running the Conservative party. You are over reaching with chess comparison, l would not use that analogy, checkers would be more their level of competence
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
...You are over reaching with chess comparison, l would not use that analogy, checkers would be more their level of competence
Politics has always been a game of chess. I am not overreaching, to use your words. Justin is being controlled by forces more intelligent than he. But he is a front man. The party straw man.
If you want to think that it is like checkers, fine.
What you may not understand is that the Liberals are not simpletons. They would not remain in power if that was the case. Individuals within their ranks like Justin and Blair are not particularly bright, but these people are used until they are no longer of any use. The power brokers replace them.
These are the hard facts.
The Liberal Party has held power for 70 of the 100 years in the 20th century, and 12 of the 21 years in the 21st century. Reducing it to a percentage, the Liberals have held power for 68% of the time from 1900 to the present day. Or 82 of the past 121 years. You do not hold power for that long without a competent strategy group. They work in the background, planning and directing.
I have always been a Conservative, but recognize that the Liberal party is a force to be reckoned with.

Liberalism is the natural end result of democracy. Voters are like children. They are self centered, and selfish. They vote for the party who will "give" them the most stuff with no regard to how it will affect the country as a whole or how much it will cost future generations in national debit.
I liken it to a 10yr old child who finds a huge bowl of candy next to a huge bowl of salad on the kitchen counter top. What do they go for, the veggies that are good for him or the candies that they gorge on until it makes them sick and someone else has to clean up the mess?
Yes, which makes them a force to be reckoned with. It is difficult for most people not to submit.
The Conservatives are the party that cleans up the mess. When the Liberals have emptied the money chest, the Conservatives will be voted back in. Remember that it has been years since Canadians have voted in who we need. For many years we have simply voted out the party we no longer cared for. What goes around, comes around.
Control the media, and you control the minds of the people. Privatizing all media in Canada would be a good start to eliminating financial incentive for media companies to adopt political bias.
He so handsome when he puts his wig on straight. Sure to get the stupid female vote, LoL
A good portion of women vote based solely on the cuteness factor.They could care less how policies would affect them and their families. Then they blame others for their poor decisions. Just immediate emotion based satisfaction then they'll go on social media and virtue signal their stupid choices.

Hitler was right about how to use propaganda ..... The following copied from wiki.
Quote
Mein Kampf contains the blueprint of later Nazi propaganda efforts. Assessing his audience, Hitler writes in chapter VI:
Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people. (...) All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those to whom it is directed. (...) The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another. (...) The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood.[4]
Quote
As to the methods to be employed, he explains:
Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favorable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favorable to its own side. (...) The receptive powers of the masses are very restricted, and their understanding is feeble. On the other hand, they quickly forget. Such being the case, all effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare essentials and those must be expressed as far as possible in stereotyped formulas. These slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last individual has come to grasp the idea that has been put forward. (...) Every change that is made in the subject of a propagandist message must always emphasize the same conclusion. The leading slogan must, of course, be illustrated in many ways and from several angles, but in the end one must always return to the assertion of the same formula.[4]
