Justin Trudeau is once again touring the country, trying to be more of a rock star than a Prime Minister,
00:00:05.980
as he takes his town hall, his literal roadshow, across the country to talk to Canadians about the issues.
00:00:12.980
Yes, our fearless Prime Minister is rolling up his sleeves, for optics, not for the hard work, of course,
00:00:19.380
to ask Canadians to ask him what's on their minds, and he gives them, of course, a candid, honest, and frank answer.
00:00:27.300
Well, maybe not. You know, the roadshow is off to a bit of a rocky start so far.
00:00:32.580
He was booed for avoiding a very clear and a very good question about what he meant
00:00:37.680
when he talked about the gender impacts of construction workers.
00:00:41.820
And in this particular case, he just responded by giving this meandering answer
00:00:46.320
that didn't even deal with the crux of what the female questioner,
00:00:50.940
who works herself in the construction industry, asked about.
00:00:53.720
And then we had another town hall faux pas, where someone dared to ask Justin Trudeau
00:01:00.020
what his response is to the murder of Marissa Shen, killed by a migrant.
00:01:06.680
And in this particular case, Trudeau said he doesn't think it's worth talking about,
00:01:11.340
that he doesn't think it's helpful to talk about the impact that his immigration plan,
00:01:16.720
or lack thereof, is having on community safety.
00:01:19.840
So what we have here is Justin Trudeau going around the country for one reason and one reason alone,
00:01:24.860
and that is to quite literally be about all talk and no action.
00:01:29.060
You see, Justin Trudeau talking about the issues is just another example of how he's not dealing with the issues.
00:01:35.620
I would much rather have a pipeline that crosses the country than Justin Trudeau's apologetics crossing the country.
00:01:52.340
Where are all of these things that Justin Trudeau has promised but not delivered on?
00:01:59.340
He came in saying that he was going to shake up Ottawa
00:02:01.540
and has become just like what he claimed he opposed.
00:02:05.160
Except the Prime Minister that he replaced actually had a track record.
00:02:08.300
Not everyone agreed with what Stephen Harper did, but no one said that Stephen Harper didn't do anything.
00:02:13.780
Trudeau, at the end of this term in office, is looking back and wondering,
00:02:17.740
or should be at least, what he's done to pass the time.
00:02:23.380
because Justin Trudeau is actually trying to set the record straight on his own terms.
00:02:30.160
And with a media that is unfailing in how it is uncritical of him,
00:02:34.880
it's the media that amplifies Trudeau's message,
00:02:37.580
which is that everything is going well, that I'm a man of the people,
00:02:44.340
Well, Canada, contrary to Trudeau's proclamations, is not back.
00:02:50.960
Canada has not made a mark on the international stage the way Justin Trudeau wanted to.
00:02:59.440
And this is what we're going to see, I think, in the next nine months
00:03:05.340
Trudeau continuing to tell Canadians he's doing all these things,
00:03:08.600
hoping they won't notice that he hasn't actually done them.
00:03:12.540
And it doesn't take a town hall to figure that out.
