Canada: Mini Me to Dr. Evil
View from the Crow’s Nest
I am a still Canadian even though I have lived in Japan for many years.
You might say that Tokyo is my Crow’s Nest. I get to watch things back home from a distance and caw.
Can’t see the forest for the trees?
In my case I can’t see the trees— but I can certainly see those huge expanses of denuded and burnt-out landscape where the forests used to be.
I also see that Canada is not really a sovereign nation—maybe never was.
Over the years, Canada has come to welcome the sweaty embrace of the only country to ever invade it-- the United States of America. We bend over happily to be buggered.
In this regard, Justin Trudeau has proven the very best whore. And America has replaced the pimp that the UK used to be.
Disclosure
How can I say things like this?
Of course, I’m prejudiced. But not just prejudiced,
More correctly, like many people, I come from a position of confused and contradictory prejudices.
My family had strong connections to both the liberal and conservative parties. John Diefenbaker was a family friend who enjoyed tea in my living room. Nice man, if a little dumb.
My uncle was a liberal member of Parliament.
In high school and college, I traveled in the same circles as Margaret Trudeau.
In addition, I have worked off and on for several branches of the Canadian government, mostly in lowly and non-consequential positions, of course. But enough to know that the “wheels of government” turn slowly because Canada has yet to understand they are supposed to turn it all. Or maybe they just don’t realize the wheel has been invented yet.
I also grew up reading Canadian newspapers, which really fucks your mind.
You might say that this background hardly qualifies me, of all people, to comment on Justin Trudeau’s policies. I am just as confused-- if not more confused-- than the average Canuck. The Crow’s Nest just allows me to realize that.
Maybe none of us Canucks should comment—just do what the CBC tells us to do.
Cognitive oddities
On the other hand, my cognitive oddities-- specifically, my general sense that the world is crazy-- force me to question everything—especially myself and my own assumptions.
This kind of skepticism amounts to a “disorder “in psychiatry. So, I sought professional help, but it has only made me question more.
In the agonizing process of self-dialectic, I have noticed that while Canadian politicians are all different in personality. style and background—just like most of us—they conform to pre-existing policies established by the institutions which they nest in. Yes— nest!
We have four parties – at least-- in Canada. They have different nests, on different branches— but the eggs and hatchlings all look the same and squawk for the same worms – even if the mommy birds are different colors.
There is amazing unanimity in that aviary we call the Canadian Parliament.
It’s all about style
Take the case of Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh. Trudeau is supposed to be Liberal; Singh is supposed to be Left, Both Justin and Jagmeet bicycle. The difference is that Jagmeet doesn’t wear socks, wears bespoke suits and loads his bicycle on the back of his BMW.
And Trudeau looks very trendy in jeans, with his pretty wife, who is divorcing him.
Trudeau is not like his rather cerebral father-- he is shallow, superficial, and not too bright. An airhead. He is to Canadian politics; what Kim Kardashian is to American culture. All style— no substance.
Singh, by contrast, is better educated and very intelligent and wears pink turbans and a beard. He too is shallow and superficial. At least he’s done nothing to convince me otherwise.
Justin grew a beard for a while. Just to show he could – then shaved it off.
What’s on top of your head matters: not what’s inside
These distinctions make no difference to their thinking— or, rather their lack of thinking.
Trudeau cannot think. Singh chooses not to. In the end their policies are identical, or almost so, differing only in nuance and style.
What is interesting is that the Canadian liberal and left, as epitomized by Trudeau and Singh, are not really so different from the Canadian Right, now led by a Harper hand-me-down Pierre Poilievre.
Poilievre talks “conservative”, as a champion of free enterprise, individualism— and all that stuff that Trudeau and Singh also claim to believe in. He too supports Ukraine and Israel-- and complains about foreign interference in Canadian politics-- primarily Chinese, not mentioning the Americans – of course, not that any Canadian politician does. His mentor, Stephen Harper always looked South for guidance from the American Gods.
Since coming to power, Trudeau has risen to the challenge of surpassing Stephen Harper in all things, including the infallibility of Washington. He kisses Biden’s ring. Jagmeet just kisses Justin’s ass.
But Poilievre has suddenly appeared and is trending in the polls. He is a conservative who probably kisses his wife only on Friday night. He is a more basic man asyou can tell from his haircut.
Poilievre has a barber. Trudeau and Jagmeet have stylists.
The trend this year however is shorter hair. And there is a “no beard” trend on Tik Tok. As I have said, it’s what is on top of your head that matters, not the brain.
All that aside, monkey see, monkey do.
Canada: accomplice in murder?
In Latin America, Trudeau, as Harper, has supported coups and attempted coups. Nicaragua, Honduras, Peru, Venezuela, and Bolivia. Did I miss a few? Maybe. Canada gets around. In international politics, Trudeau, Poilievre and Singh are all neoliberals.
But Trudeau is now Prime Minister. The joint may go around to each guy two each guy, but Trudeau gets the final toke since he’s in charge snd ultimately responsible.
Needless to say, people die. Did Justin murder them? No. Was he an accomplice? Yes
We have always been the faithful servants of Empire – first the British, now the American.
In Europe, Canada supports neo-Nazis, and helps them commit war crimes in the Donbass and carry out terrorism in Russia. We say we champion freedom – apparently that means the freedom to kill.
Trudeau may not have blood on his hands, but he certainly has blood under his fingernails. If you’re liberal, you may not see that— but remember he has a better manicurist than Stephen Harper.
As prime minister, Justin the Unjust has cost the taxpayer billions.
But thanks to Mr. Singh’s support for killing kids in other countries. Canadian kids under 12 in households earning less than $90,000 or seniors or people with disabilities (except for me) will get subsidized dental care – perhaps 500,000 people in all.
Sounds good?
The program covers the standard checkup and maybe one filling-- so make sure your kids floss. Estimated costs to the taxpayer vary but probably in the range of $2 billion a year.
Support for Ukraine since 2022 has cost Canadian taxpayers more than $8 billion to kill a few hundred thousand people.
Economically as well as morally, Trudeau is a disaster. But maybe that is a tradition for Canadian Prime Ministers.
As for Jagmeet, in the beginning I wanted to like him. Now I would just push him and Keith Starmer and Jacinda into a big box and let them eat each other.
Alienating former friends
Among other things. Trudeau has managed to alienate the Chinese, reversing the policies of his father at US request --facilitating the persecution of Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou and committing assorted other offenses such as sending warships to the South China Sea to show the flag for US policy.
And of course, there was the Uyghur genocide hoax, which was comprehensively exposed by The Gray Zone but ignored by the mainstream media. The Canadian Parliament voted unanimously.
More recently, Justin expelled a Chinese diplomat on unproven charges of harassing Hong Kong dissidents in Vancouver. Cui bono? The Hong Kong dissidents-- of course. Maybe the CSIS.
Canada has natural resources, but the Chinese must see Canada as an unreliable partner and instead get gets what it needs from other places-- Russia and now Africa. Norman Bethune is turning in his grave.
China is the world’s driver of economic growth: the only industrial economy besides India and maybe Russia that is really growing— so naturally these posturing costs the Canadian taxpayer money.
Cui bono? A bug’s eye view
Most recently, Trudeau seems to want to alienate every non-G7 country, so it is accusing India of assassinating a Canadian citizen, a leader of the Indian Khalistan independence movement. in Surrey in greater Vancouver in British Columbia where I used to live.
You must again ask “cui bono”?
India in no way benefits from this kind of extraterritorial murder. Or any kind of murder. Governments have better ways to do this kind of thing—as we have seen in the case of Julian Assange. Assassination these days is judicial.
The Khalistan independence movement has a long history of violent extremism, including murder of its own, which is one reason that most Sikhs in Canada do not support it.
The so-called “evidence” that Trudeau cites —without disclosing—comes from CSIS, the Canadian intelligence services. CSIS is mini-Me to the CIA’s Dr. Evil-- which runs the Five Eyes… Imagine having five eyeballs. It’s something like the compound vision of insects. How do you coordinate your vision? You don’t. A clear picture is not the point.
“Five Eyes” should be renamed “Bugs’ Eyes.”
This kind of vision is perfect for intelligence agencies will have to provide information to really really dumb people or they don’t get paid.
With a blur you get to interpret events anyway you want. You give your political masters what they want to hear, and you get promoted.
Trudeau has proven over and over again that he is not the least interested in facts or evidence. The CSIS has proven similarly that it is not to be trusted.
The real question is who profits?
Who killed Hardeep Singh Nijjar?
With the Canadian government is now on record as supporting it, the Khalistan Independence movement may hope the Canadians will not only continue to turn a blind eye to its terrorist activities and extremism -- but support them as it does Ukrainian Nazis.
They are not above killing their own—there is precedent for that.
On 18 November 1998, the Canada-based Sikh journalist Tara Singh Hayer was gunned down by suspected Khalistani militants. The publisher of the "Indo-Canadian Times," a Canadian Sikh and once-vocal advocate of the armed struggle for Khalistan, he had criticised the bombing of Air India Flight 182, and was to testify about a conversation he overheard concerning the bombing.[197][198] On 24 January 1995,[199] Tarsem Singh Purewal, editor of Britain's Punjabi-language weekly "Des Pardes", was killed as he was closing his office in Southall. There is speculation that the murder was related to Sikh extremism, which Purewal may have been investigating. (Wikipedia : Always read with caution for political bias)
No matter….
India is pissed. And let us remember that India is Canada’s number one source of immigrants and foreign students – who become doctors, lawyers and engineers.
India may see Trudeau is acting as a proxy for the US to screw India for its support for Russia and BRICS and Asian economic integration -- trying to damage India’s geopolitical image --yet all the while pretending to be India’s friend.
Everything you think you know you learned in high school
But globally the world is getting used to American machinations and tricks, especially it’s use of proxies.
If this kind of devious stuff sounds like the kind of nasty games that high school bullies play in high school -- remember that, mentally and emotionally, most US politicians never got out of high school. Trudeau didn’t either.
He was happiest after college, working as a substitute teacher wearing black face to school parties, playing to the sensibilities of underage teenage girls, allegedly not just playing, but preying—which has resulted in a massive out-of-court settlement.
$2.5 million at least, and a nondisclosure agreement. The official media says it’s just rumors
Then, Trudeau is Trudeau and not Russell Brand.
What you see is not what you get
With Russell Brand what you see is what you get.
With politicians like Trudeau. It also Joseph Biden, it’s the opposite.
Both Trudeau and Biden can get away with allegations of abusing young girls, without those allegations being taken seriously. YouTube is not going to cancel them.
In some respects, the differences between Trudeau and Biden boil down to just age.
What they call “public policy” is really a political con job. They leap at opportunities to manipulate public perceptions of events so as to appear competent —all the while censoring dissent.
Joe Biden had the January 6 New Year’s party in the capital, which he and the compliant media exploited as “insurrection”, justifying heavy-handed repression, perverting the already corrupt US justice system.
So, Justin Trudeau had to have his Freedom Convoy moment, and like Biden used the law in a way that it was never intended to be used—to put down and repress legitimate protest.
It is notable that while both Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh saw the freedom convoy as insurrection. Poilievre has consistently supported the right to dissent, which he supports so long as he agrees with it.
That said, this alone almost guarantees his election.
It is the Canadian way…
Oh Canada
The true North.
Wrong and free
Notes from the zoo
Every zoo has monkeys, of which there are many different kinds.
Probably the most popular kind is the Squirrel Monkey, which is incredibly cute.
My article on Canadian politics got me remembering these monkeys that I used to care for. Squirrel monkeys form tightknit groups which they protect. They are imitative, highly social but also very individual.
Cute as they are, they are very difficult creatures and do not make good pets. They are mischievous and can be moody in which case they may bite or throw shit. They get a kick out of masturbating to shock people.
If you’re the one who feeds him or her they won’t do such things—of course—they are natural politicians. But if they don’t like you/ they can inflict real damage as a New Zealand man found out when he tried to break into squirrel monkey cage—ending up with a broken leg, two fractured teeth, a sprained ankle, and bruises.
As babies they are wonderful. But they do grow up! Like all wild animals, they should be treated with respect. I wish I could say the same about politicians.
My favorite squirrel monkey was named Pedro. If you like this article, please click here to buy me a coffee or click on the photo.
It is more accurate to say that JPJT is a puppet of big money interests which is a sub-unit of the US. There are elements of the US establishment he does not readily serve. I agree that it is frustrating how much of a subservient country we are but the reality is for a weak country to exercise independence, it would require a position between two powerful countries, and we don't have that. Vassals can sometimes be better homes than the imperial capital but it requires a culture of astute leaders who know how to play their masters. Trudeau thd elder acheived some of that for a short while. For Canada to consistently punch about its weight class for generations would be a miracle really.
Not sure if the Canadians got what they deserved with Turdeau (sic) as representative, but at least they fared better than the Germans, Japanese, Iraqis, or the Armenians lately.
All "buggered" by the Anglo-Saxon empire.
But perhaps it's all the Hippie's fault ?
Most of the contemporary 'politicians' were conceived during this era, or shortly thereafter. And God knows what drugs their parents were on ...
The rest is spot on.
