Democracy Can Be Sooooooooo

 MESSY !!!

Just ask our traveling roadshow Prime Minister currently touring the country and encountering...are you ready for it - Protests.

Why the nerve of some people !!

You can almost understand His surprise at this turn of events since when first elected Prime Minister in 2015 it was after an Election that saw 'Justin' Mania -- adoring fans from coast to coast couldn't get enough of his nice teeth and beautiful hair.  

That of course was then and this ...as they say...is now.

I wonder though what his deceased father Pierre Elliott would say. He who stood up to real thugs ...the FLQ during his time in Office.  Below is what the Canadian Broadcast Corporation had to say at that time:

After calling an election just three weeks after he became Liberal leader, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau has promised to stem the rise of Quebec separatism and turn Canada into a unified, bilingual nation. On the eve of the election, Trudeau ignores threats of separatist violence and attends Montreal's St-Jean-Baptiste parade. When other officials flee as rioters hurl rocks and bottles, Trudeau refuses to back down. This French CBC Television clip shows Trudeau smiling as the projectiles fly. 

By contrast, Justin claims to be afraid, ...it is just not safe.  And speaking of safety do you wonder if he gives a minute's thought to those poor souls he left behind in Afghanistan?

I understand that many - not all, are anti-vaxxers.  Well even though I do not agree whatsoever with their stand, I understand that we are still supposed to be a Democracy and an important part of being so is to allow dissent as long as it is non-violent.  And yet Trudeau is appalled with their antics. But the media has found that there are many others present with various other complaints against Trudeau's Liberal Government which is totally understandable given the turmoil it has caused throughout Canada.

I have not seen any significant violence at these campaign stops but if any occurs it should be rooted out forthwith by the authorities.  But it is interesting to recall that last year the Natives protested - blocking commerce and nothing was done to reign them in.  More recently, 50 or so Churches have been destroyed by arsonists and Trudeau's reply being that this was only understandable. Yuk. 

The other reason I believe He is so appalled at opposition appearing at his rallies is that for the past year he has hidden out at Rideau Cottage - facing no hecklers and a docile media there by invitation only.  

So as Truman once famously said, if He cannot stand the Heat.. Get Out Of The Kitchen and Go Back to The Cottage.

As I See It...
