Justin’s grand father Émile Trudeau founded Trudeau Petroleum in Montreal. Ironically, the Trudeau wealth was built on oil and gas. Had Justin been in power when his grandfather was putting his business together, the family would have been bankrupted. Yet, Justin is a life long trust fund baby gliding on the back of oil money. He has never had a serious career or business until he entered politics. Now, I’m all for non-politicians entering the public domain. But I don’t think all non-politicians are equally capable. A part time snowboard instructor, a camp councilor and a bouncer (yes, that’s actually true). He did teach drama and math in his late twenties for just under 3 years. Then he returned to university, a single known acting role in a Canadian mini series. This laid back, half hearted adult life is out performed by over 90% of hard working middle class men in Canada.

Trudeau effortlessly glided through his twenties and thirtes and then, boom, politics. He was not a business tycoon or entrepreneur. He was not a serious intellectual. And anyone being honest will admit his political success is entirely due to his name, his good looks and the fact that Canada had been led by Conservatives for 10 straight years. A flip was inevitable and he was a perfect poster boy for the “sunny ways” brand that opposed older, career politicians.

Running a country the size of Canada is tricky even for former captains of industry and corporate chiefs. It must be that much harder for a very under accomplished rich kid. Well, as we all saw with Joe Biden, countries are not run by the figure head, but by the ensemble lurking in the unelected shadows.

I don’t know how long it will take the average Canadian to realize that your conservative neighbour is not your enemy. He or she is living the same difficult, day to day experience you are. Raising kids, paying a mortgage/rent and trying to make retirement possible and pleasant. The upper crust, on the other hand, is taxing you out of comfort and into life long serfdom. Corporate interests don’t want small and medium (and even some big) companies to have free trade access to vendors south of the Canadian border. Something which would benefit any and all companies and consumers smaller than, say, Loblaws. Prices would NOT be grinding up and up if we had competition for our major corporations. Just think of air travel pricing within Canada if Air Canada and Westjet didn’t have a monopoly and British Airways, Air Hong Kong, American Airlines, etc were allowed to compete at all of our airports. Well, that’s why major Canadian corporations have bought our politicians. To protect THEIR interests. Not yours.

While indigenous communities are still without fresh water, and armed forces veterans cannot get the care they need and many, many families across Canada struggling to keep their homes, Trudeau just spent another $5 billion dollars to the Ukraine. Even after Zelensky admitted to the Associated Press that only $76 billion of the allocated $177 billion of US aid money has been received by the Ukraine directly. The lion’s share of the money being dispersed into other hands. Does this sound reasonable to you? Or does it sound like the kind of international palm greasing that USAID has been doing for decades?
In April 2025, Canadians are set to undergo a %20 increase in carbon taxes. Prices have more than doubled since the introduction of Trudeau’s carbon tax program 6 years ago. It isn’t Joe Conservative on your street who is affecting your life, it is Justin Trudeau’s class of politicians who are puppeteered by unseen international and corporate hands.

Carney is a very intelligent business man who is positioning himself to take Trudeau’s place. He is very much a globalist who, like Trudeau who bragged Canada would be a “post national” state (aka globalist region and not a sovereign land) is a “Canada last” candidate who supported the destruction of the pipeline project while on the board of an international asset management company that was simultaneously investing billions in Brazilian pipelines. Which were instantly becoming more valuable due to the ceasing of the Canadian oil and gas engine.
Do you see what’s happening?
Hope you do.

The corporate and political elite class HAVE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED INTERESTS TO THE MIDDLE CLASS.
.
Just like Pharaohs, Caesars and Alexander the Greats benefit from total power ruling over crushed, grinding masses stuck in poverty, the world’s political class has always defaulted to more and more power and money for them and less and less for you and me.
Vote accordingly.
