A phoney dilettant who lectures us with alt.liberal canned jargon with a smug superior attitude that breathes contempt for anyone who disagrees with his radical beliefs.
Trudeau is a Prime Minister without moral scruples, spending money that he doesn't have by burdening future generations with a debt load they never approved or bargained for.
In this respect, he's a chip off the old block, his father was another big spender who mortgaged Canada's future by spending money the country didn't have.
All this said I cannot hide a certain incredulity over the manufactured brouhaha over his vacation on what has become known as 'billionaire's island' a trip now found in breach of Parliamentary ethical standards.
Nobody seems to take Trudeau to task for raiding your grandchildren's legacy by borrowing billions upon billions and making them the guarantor of that debt, yet a mooched vacation is a big deal.
Usually, defecit spending is explained by a pressing need to end an economic recession or perhaps to finance a war. Such is not the case with young Justin who is borrowing and blowing billions upon billions of dollars just to keep his government popular.
Of course, his supporters tend to explain away or ignore this national theft because it is convenient, but what Trudeau and the Liberals are doing is unconscionable. It is taxation without representation because while we voted for him and his government, the unborn future generations who will be saddled with his debt certainly did not.
Deficit spending is hard for the average Canadian to oppose because the average Canadian is easily bribed with his or her own money and even more excited about being bribed with their grandchildren's money.
Since it is the holiday season let us make a Christmas analogy where we compare two fathers who treat the family finances differently.
Both families are facing a financially tough situation and the first father gathers the family around the dinner table and tells them that they will have to live with a less extravagant Christmas, where every family member will be limited to one modestly-priced present. The father explains that the family finances dictate that prudence be the rule and the future financial well-being of the family demands discipline.
The second father sees things differently and even though his family is as financially strapped as the first, he goes out and blows thousands and thousands of dollars on expensive and lavish Christmas gifts.
The children are thrilled and the father is a hero.
What the children don't know is that the deadbeat dad has taken out loans to pay for his largesse and that those loans were taken in the children's' name, unbeknownst and without their permission. It is they who will have to assume the debt once they grow up and join the workforce.
Justin Trudeau is that deadbeat dad and we should be outraged at his spendthrift behaviour, but alas we are not because we are infatuated with the Trudeau persona which blinds too many of us.
As for his ethics violation or even that of his finance minister, Bill Morneau, these are trifling distractions, small potatoes that the opposition seized upon because idiot Canadians cannot comprehend the real damage that Trudeau and company are wreaking on the finances of this country.
As for Trudeau's vacation on the island of a billionaire Arab benefactor, I couldn't care less. It is a trifle.
And by the way, what's a Prime Minister to do?
There is a Prime Ministerial retreat in Harrington Lake, but it hardly counts as a winter getaway. The Prime Minister cannot book a week at Club Med or a Carnival cruise.
Contrary to popular belief, Trudeau is not a gazillionaire as is his finance minister. The mooched vacation actually saved the government of Canada a considerable amount of money, the Aga Khan picked up most of the expenses.
As for special treatment, the Aga Khan doesn't need Canada's money, he is very rich. Any money given to his charities by Canadians is just that, charity...so what?
The opposition is playing a dirty game because they cannot make a real case against Trudeau, something that they should be able to do without employing cheap distractions.
I've come to conclude that Canadians voters are just as stupid as American voters and issues don't matter, while personality does.
For those of you enraged by Justin's trip to billionaire's island last year, take solace in that the Trudeau clan will no doubt be spending a very cold and local Christmas vacation this year. That's punishment enough for his trivial ethics violation.
