Western Standard - Piers Morgan questions whether time is up for Canada's 'virtue signalling' PM Justin Trudeau

The problem with styling yourself as the woke prince of impregnable perfection is that you're bound to eventually slip up, and a lot of people will thoroughly enjoy it when you do. Take Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the man who of course said that the word mankind was offensive, and it should be changed to People Kind. He's a world leading woke irritant, famous for virtue, signal and gestures, like the one I just said. And last week he hosted Ukraine's President Zelensky at the Canadian Parliament. Some special guests were invited.

00:00:00.000 I will never apologise for standing up for an LGBTQ2 plus kids.

00:00:11.780 Good evening from Mundo, welcome to Piers Morgan Uncensored.

00:00:13.800 The problem with styling yourself as the woke prince of impregnable perfection

00:00:17.340 is that you're bound to eventually slip up,

00:00:20.000 and a lot of people will thoroughly enjoy it when you do.

00:00:22.920 Take Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,

00:00:25.280 the man who of course said that the word mankind was offensive

00:00:28.780 and it should be changed to people kind.

00:00:31.040 He's a world-leading woke irritant, famous for virtue, signal and gestures,

00:00:35.080 like the one I just said, and last week he hosted Ukraine's President Zelensky

00:00:39.560 at the Canadian Parliament.

00:00:41.120 Some special guests were invited.

00:00:45.180 We have here in the chamber today Ukrainian-Canadians,

00:00:49.280 Ukrainian-Canadian world veteran from the Second World War

00:00:53.080 who fought the Ukrainian independence against the Russians.

00:00:56.460 and continues to support the troops today, even at his age of 98.

00:01:07.480 He's a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero,

00:01:11.160 and we thank him for all his service.

00:01:13.280 Thank you.

00:01:13.660 Well, most people with a basic education would be aware

00:01:17.560 that Ukrainian soldiers fighting against Russia during World War II

00:01:20.200 were Nazis.

00:01:22.080 Yaroslav Hunker, who's now aged 98,

00:01:24.560 served in the 14th Waffen SS Division under Nazi command.

00:01:28.580 I've no idea what he did or didn't do during the war,

00:01:31.300 but I do know that he was a Nazi. 0.69

00:01:33.560 And as a former Nazi, he probably shouldn't be getting a standing ovation

00:01:36.220 from some of the most powerful people in the country.

00:01:39.080 Hunker was invited by Canada's House Speaker, a member of Trudeau's party.

00:01:43.800 He's now had to resign, leaving his leader,

00:01:45.800 who happens to be one of the smuggest men of world politics,

00:01:48.760 looking, well, rather less smug than usual.

00:01:51.940 It's going to be really important that all of us push back

00:01:55.040 against Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation,

00:01:58.300 and continue our steadfast and unequivocal support for Ukraine.

00:02:02.460 We must push back against Russian propaganda,

00:02:06.140 says the man who's just sent a lifetime supply of gift-wrapped material

00:02:09.840 to Russian propagandists.

00:02:12.040 Russia's disinformation machine has spun the demented lie

00:02:14.740 that Ukraine is now run by Nazis. 0.96

00:02:17.160 President Zelensky, of course, is Jewish, 1.00

00:02:19.060 making this entire fiasco even more insulting and ridiculous. 0.99

00:02:22.980 It's not the first time we've seen Trudeau grovelling. 0.98

00:02:25.900 Pictures infamously emerged of him in blackface.

00:02:28.680 Actually, repeatedly, he did that,

00:02:30.520 which came as quite a shock to the many people

00:02:32.520 he spent all these years assuring

00:02:35.480 that he was the nicest, wokest person in the world.

00:02:40.500 I didn't understand how hurtful this is

00:02:43.320 to people who live with discrimination every single day.

00:02:46.520 I have always acknowledged that I come from a place of privilege,

00:02:50.500 but I now need to acknowledge that that comes with a massive blind spot.

00:02:55.680 Of course, after that, several more pictures of Trudeau

00:02:58.340 in blackface emerged.

00:02:59.380 Eventually, he had to admit that he'd done it so many times

00:03:01.480 he couldn't even remember how many times he'd done it.

00:03:04.340 There is one thing, though, which Trudeau will never apologise for.

00:03:09.300 I will never apologise for standing up

00:03:12.200 for an LGDP...

00:03:14.120 LGT...

00:03:15.480 LGBT... 0.50

00:03:16.340 LGBTQ...

00:03:18.340 LGBTQ2 plus kids' rights.

00:03:21.620 Oh, Justin, just stop, man, person, whatever you want to call yourself.

00:03:29.420 If you want to be the most ultra-woke leader in the world, that's fine.

00:03:34.640 Look, I could do that, too.

00:03:36.060 Remember the rainbow alphabet?

00:03:38.680 Don't wear blackface. 1.00

00:03:40.920 Stop applauding Nazis with standing ovations. 0.91

00:03:43.640 It's not that hard.

00:03:44.340 Thank you.

00:03:45.240 And look, please.

00:03:47.440 Thank you so much for it.

00:03:49.040 Good.

00:03:53.300 To beверхertown чит in?

00:03:55.100 I could do that as well as you've started.

00:03:55.940 It happens

00:03:56.260 As you got I did or I just scared the ..

00:03:57.340 Because of hours, a girlmaker or I did not know for it.

00:03:59.500 I wish I was done it.

00:04:00.820 It just kind care of you got us now.

00:04:01.380 You've been telling your time to make that

00:04:03.500 To be where you are young, man, people are scared,

00:04:04.840 But it was me, man.
