Justin Trudeau riding a train in the snow in a bullet-proof vest, trying to make us feel like we're all the same as him. It gets under my skin when he pretends to be able to relate to us, the common Canadian.

00:00:00.000 Well, there's Justin Trudeau. You can see the picture right there. And for the people listening
00:00:03.220 on the podcast, he's standing there looking stoic, sort of staring off into the distance and
00:00:07.980 holding up there in a train. He's got his sleeves rolled up. You know, he's getting serious. He's
00:00:12.480 on to something here. If you look really closely, you see the bulletproof vests and all the people
00:00:16.260 around him, of course, because he's got security and such, which he should. He's the prime minister.
00:00:23.400 But you're trying to pretend to be able to relate with us. You're trying to pretend that you're one
00:00:29.140 of us. You aren't. You aren't. Quit the facade. Quit insulting our intelligence with this.
00:00:35.580 You don't ride transit, Justin Trudeau. You're a trust fund baby. And hey, that's no fault of your
00:00:40.400 own. You were born into that. But you were born into a rich, well-known family. You were chauffeured
00:00:45.300 all your life. You've probably never cooked Kraft dinner for yourself. That's fine. Embrace that.
00:00:51.340 But don't sit and pretend and stand there as if you're a transit rider like everybody else.
00:00:56.340 And we're seeing that song and dance. We're seeing that game. We saw that in Calgary too
00:01:01.840 with the mayor, Jody Gondek, was riding the train. And sure enough, she had a pile of cops
00:01:08.280 with her for the whole ride. And the point of her ride was to say, see, the train's perfectly
00:01:11.140 safe. No, no, your worship. The train's perfectly safe when you can have an escort of a bunch of
00:01:19.480 armed police officers with you. For the common rider, it doesn't work that way. In Edmonton,
00:01:25.860 just the other day, it works great. They came up with their Marvin the Meatball thing to show,
00:01:30.140 come on, downtown. It's nice and safe. It was bizarre, almost surreal. A Chilean older woman was 1.00
00:01:36.020 riding the Edmonton Transit and she got assaulted. Edmonton's getting known as Stabmonton. But that's
00:01:41.800 happening everywhere. The crime on these transit systems. And in wintertime, it gets even worse.
00:01:46.640 And in Edmonton, they talked about that. It was tweeted out saying, basically saying,
00:01:50.620 we're going to allow the transit lines to be a de facto shelter for the homeless people when it
00:01:55.540 gets cold. That's not reasonable. But it just really, yeah, it does get under my skin when you
00:02:01.640 see poses like that from that clown Trudeau, pretending that, you know, oh, I understand. I 0.96
00:02:07.040 feel your pain, oh, common Canadians. I ride the train like you do. No, you do not. No, you do not. 0.94
00:02:14.080 This is a government that's on the ropes, though.
