Summary
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.

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
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
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.
00:02:14.080
This is a government that's on the ropes, though.
