Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, has seen his approval ratings plummet amid criticism of his handling of the trucker protests, including bringing in controversial emergency legislation. The Telegraph has the story.
Ottawa, the nation’s capital, was brought to a standstill for three weeks and road borders with the U.S. were clogged up as hundreds of truckers blocked streets and highways in protest at vaccine mandates.
The chaos ended only when Mr. Trudeau enacted emergency powers not used by a Prime Minister in more than 50 years and dozens of people were arrested.
Nearly half of Canadians said that their impressions of Mr. Trudeau have worsened over his response to the convoy, according to one poll, while another said a majority of people thought that his words and actions inflamed the situation.
A Nanos Research survey found that 47% of Canadians said their impressions of Mr. Trudeau worsened over his Government’s response to the demonstrations, while only 20% said theirs improved.
Nik Nanos, a pollster, said in an interview with The Globe and Mail newspaper: “What’s clear from the survey is that even though Canadians generally support what the Prime Minister has done, his personal brand has taken a hit as a result of the truckers’ convoy protest. There’s no political windfall for Justin Trudeau coming out of implementing the Emergencies Act.”
Another survey by the Angus Reid Institute, a British Columbia-based polling organisation, revealed that 65% of respondents polled in February thought Mr Trudeau’s remarks targeting protesters worsened an already tense situation.
When the protests started, Mr Trudeau called the group a “fringe minority” that held “unacceptable views”.
Last autumn, he angered protesters further by saying that some of those fiercely opposed to vaccination are “often misogynist, often racist, too. It’s a small group but takes up space”.
It seems you can’t go full Stalin in Canada and expect the voters to reward you. Given the numerous opinion polls in many countries over the last couple of years suggesting majorities in favour of draconian restrictions and penalties for the unvaccinated – encouraging leaders like Trudeau, Macron and Ardern to bring in ever more extreme policies – it’s welcome to find a poll chastening one of them for overreach.

It’s interesting he is still in charge. How long before another ‘crisis’ comes up and people forget about the tiranny stuff? I have seen a few times in my home country (Italy), politicians got away with actions far more dangerous than just ‘frozen bank accounts’.
Polling these days is almost entirely bullshit. It’s been bought and paid for, mainly by the WEF, Gates and the rest of the Neo-Feudalist cartel. I’d wager Klaus Schwab’s Canadian toy boy is a dead man walking – assuming some wisp of theatrical democracy still exists come the next election..
Will Senator Lindsay Graham comment?
An important point: it WASN’T ”chaos” (until the ”police” moved in).
”Dozens of people were arrested” – and some are still behind bars with no bail being granted, even though their ”offences” were non violent. One young woman was brought before the court WITH SHACKLES ON HER FEET. (The judge ordered them to be removed.) And elsewhere (Alberta) a Pastor is being held in solitary confinement, as if he were a political prisoner in a banana republic.
So Truedope is STILL carrying out his assault on the people. Those that can’t see it, but ”generally support what he’s done” could never imagine they might one day be next on the list.
Fact check: TRUE. I spent some time with the protesters. It was more of a carnival/block party atmosphere with, of course, many chants, placards, tooting horns and other noisy but peaceful expressions of desire for change.
“So Truedope is STILL carrying out his assault on the people. Those that can’t see it, but ”generally support what he’s done” could never imagine they might one day be next on the list”.
Yet you somehow can’t imagine Canadians can be, ahem. a tad weird – judging from your dismissive response to my post earlier today.
Make up your mind.
So… what happened with the truckers’ protest? It failed?
Well, it opened a lot of eyes at the very least.
opinion polls are easily falsified by the perpetrators …
a more accurate measure of public opinion might be to try looking on social media for comments supporting the official covid narrative … they are few compared with comments posted by lovers of truth, freedom, science, and rule of law …
Seriously thick idiots like Turdeau are a danger to the planet not just to the people of their country.
If science can’t be questioned it’s not science anymore. It’s propaganda. They want to rip on people for taking Ivermectin. I researched and saw the evidence on the internet. Research papers are on the internet for those who wants to see. Top respected world doctors are being under defamation by MSM and vaccine manufacturers. I won’t back down recommeding IVM. You can get yours by visiting https://ivmpharmacy.com
Get yer Ivermectin here! You’ll die without it!!
Is the picture recent and if so what on earth is the heart-shaped swelling under his ear and over his jaw? Doesn’t look good.
The biggest concern which seems to have escaped scrutiny is now the reality of “you will own nothing and be happy”
Trudeau in shutting down the bank accounts of even minor donors on go fund me, and now Google and Apple pay, plus Governments freezing Russian spending and bank accounts (ordinary Russian people did not start the war with Ukraine, the elite oligarchs including Putin did) demonstrates that the money which we believe is ours, the bank acounts we believe are holding our money is all a fantasy. They the Government the puppets of the Oligarchs and WEF they already control and can take our money away from us, stop us being able to defend ourselve in court as how can you pay for a lawyer without access to money?. Nope its already here the world of the Great Reset, demonstrated by Trudeau and our own Government, they can shut you down any time they want.
You have really made my evening!
Trudeau reminds me of a football firm apprentice sent into the opposing firm’s mob to test both his mettle, and the opposition’s strength.
Polls means nothing, elections are controlled by the elite, even if he loses his replacement will be the same person.
True.
But we really MUST stop calling them ”elite”. It’s THEIR name for themselves, and that’s their self perception. Listening to Swabbie (horrible but had to be done) speaking, he kept referring to his despicable tribe as ”elite”.
Surely we can find another word to more accurately describe them?
Do Canada use Dominion voting machines? Would explain why Trudeaus’ WEF Deputy is not concerned what the plantation thinks.
Chrystia Freeland ?
That most liberal of Liberals ?
The Honourable Chrystia Freeland, member of the WEF’s Board of Trustees ?
Gloating, whilst announcing the freezing of personal assests of trucker protesters and their supporters, after previously voicing support for the 2019-20 Hong Kong protests ?
Author of, ‘Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else (2012)’ ?
And, just ftr, has a maternal grandfather, Michael Chomiak (Ukrainian: Mykhailo Khomiak), who was an alleged Nazi sympathiser and anti-semite. She also speaks Ukranian and co-owns an apartment overlooking Indepence Square in Kyiv.
How ironic ?
It’s almost as if Trudeau has been set up as the fall guy/sacrificial lamb, having called a recent snap election, for the WEF stooge lined up to take over when the proverbial hits the fan ?
Am I a tin hat wearing, anti-vaxxer, anti-establishment, anti-MSM, conspiracy theorist ???
Or a realist ?
It’s all been put in place for collapse. Rockefella’s Lockstep document lays it out. I’m thinking they’ll release another bioweapon later this year along with a cyber attack. Which will definitely move attention away from this year (of 3) die-off.
We’ll be using them soon. There was a petition against the use of vote-counting machines – it grew suspiciously slowly, then ran out of time.
Puteau
More WEF putain.
Boys Cry.
Couldn’t find a song called Pretty Boys Cry.
The Cure – “Boy’s Don’t Cry.”
You knew it was comming…
Trudeau using war in Ukraine to push more censorship in Canada

”A man does good business when he rids himself of a turd”. Said some long dead king. I get the feeling he was right.
Image of the day:
So? Zhe called a snap election last year, zhe’s completely secure in zer Secure, Undisclosed Bunker. See also the Little Emperor Micron, who has overseen revolt after revolt after revolt in zis term, and just hid in zis golden palace until they all blew over.
Opinion polls mean less than nothing: a week is an eternity in politics.
We live in a more peaceful place than at any previous time in Human History but that’s another story.
Entirely Off Topic but perhaps a bit of antidote for those who, unsurprisingly, feel that the world 🌍 has sunk into a sh*t-hole 🌋 occupied by incompetent, unhelpful w*nkers in the wake of Covid and now Ukraine.
Been in hospital 🏥 for a while; the food is adequate but bland and samey (it’s not a hotel) so to enhance my diet at 🌒 1am 🕐 this morning I placed a digital 🥖 snacks 🥐 order with Morrisons Groceries 🍅 via Amazon Distribution altering this at 3am 🕒 but, coming into Saturday, thought no more about it until perhaps Monday.
To my surprise at 2pm 🕑 this same afternoon I received a text message saying my order was ‘nearly there’ and 1/2 hour later that it had arrived 👋 . Not wishing to lose track of my goodies I tried to contact Hospital Reception but before they answered their phone in strode a familiar Nurswith my two packages.
So Shout Outs 👍 to Morrisons PLC for such speedy fulfilment of my wishes, to Amazon 🏆 for expediting it equally rapidly, to Amazons… Read more »
Bloody Brilliant. Now try Deliveroo 🤣🤣🤣
Morrison’s banned sick pay for unvaxxed workers and Bezos is sat at the Cabal’s high table.
No friends or family who could’ve provided a similar service?
You’re a hypocrite.
“Morrison’s banned sick pay for unvaxxed workers”
I hadn’t forgotten that. There’s a lot of hypocrisy about – all that talk of boycotting Tesco when their Christmas advert showed Santa showing his Vaxx Pass, yet people on here still reporting their shopping trips to Tesco… because “it’s convenient” and other excuses. Mention this, though, and a barrage of downticks is incoming!
Fake rage.
Recognizing that a Company has provided a good service is not an endorsement of their internal politic.
See my previous comment about Hitlers continuing Weimers Autobahm Programme does not make motorway building a facist ideal.
Para 2. Quite, of would have (if not so rapidly or door to door).
3. Not worthy of rebuttal except that you are a fat, smelly tospot.
Sometimes there’s a need to spend time carefully articulating your thoughts. Other times you can just keep it simple. This is definitely the latter. The guy is a c*@t.
Justin Trudeau will find out that when he is of no further use to the Cabal, they’ll toss him away like a soiled tissue. The Cabal’s other puppet in Ukraine is, I suspect, now on the cusp of finding out exactly how little he actually means to the gangsters that put him in power.
Check the image below of the first meeting between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators. Zelenskyy’s negotiators are on the right and are clearly of the gangster variety. Basically, it is a crew of thugs negotiating with Russia on behalf of Biden’s White House, not senile Biden, mind you, but his string-pullers.
Putin said he was going to deNazify Ukraine; this picture goes towards showing there are thugs right at the top of Ukrainian government alongside Zelenskyy.
I suspect Zelenskyy is on the verge of a severe learning curve; he’ll soon see that when he’s of no further use to the Cabal, they’ll toss him away like a soiled rag. In the meantime, they’ll keep him surrounded by thugs to make sure he sticks to the script.
Hopefully Trudeau’s turn comes soon.
Russia’s thugs are more upstanding because they wear suits and ties?
So, you think it’s alright for government officials to go to a meeting to negotiate an end to a war that that threatens would peace dressed like they are thugs conducting a drug’s deal?
You give away quite a lot about your provenance and upbringing by suggesting this. Even wild animals preen and clean themselves in order to impress their peers, and the likes of you haven’t got a grasp on this yet?
All WEF/globalist puppets on the stage playing their roles, get a grip.
Bob Moran, on the nail as ever…
Canadians are plain weird. (I give you Neil Young and Joni Mitchell as examples.) I always assume it’s because they feel inferior internationally and so are happy to accept tyrannical rule if their leader appears to be “strong”.
Wonder what Beber thinks and that girl who sung skater boy
If ever there were a sweeping statement, there’s one.
Even lower than they were last week? He better learn to limbo under the X axis!
Didn’t Senator Lindsey Graham have something to say this week about authoritarian dictators? He seems to be keeping quiet about Trudeau (I always like to imagine Peter Sellers saying that name in the style of his best overhammed Clouseau)
What did they expect, that people actually like their lives wrecked?. Common Purpose trained leaders, have no idea of the real world.
We need an urgent discussion with that 20%.
If they’re not listening now, they never will.
If that is the case I’m very disappointed with Canadians as a whole, I expected them to fully back their truckers, same applies to Australians and New Zealanders, they need to remove their leaders asap and this can only be achieved by everyone, and I mean everyone in those countries to come out and support them.
His polls have nosedived because of his reaction to the Truckers’ protest, not due to lockdowns and vaccinations per se.
He showed he was a tyrant and a sociopath, intolerant of dissent and honest protest and disagreement.
The fact that he was completely on the wrong side of the Covid argument from start to finish matters less in polling terms because the vast majority are still completely ignorant about the truth concerning Covid19, appropriate treatment regimens and the appalling risk-benefits ratio of vaccines, particularly for the healthy and young.
If the majority of Canadians read RJK Jnr’s book and understood its first 100 pages, Trudeau would probably need a new identity and a new life undercover.
While having no sympathy for Trudeau, calling people names and arresting some for bringing the Capital City to a halt is hardly the act of Ivan The Terrible.
He may just have been a WEF flagholder, to see if it could be pulled off.
It’s not a good look, though, to accuse those who don’t agree with your policies of holding ‘unacceptable views’.
With a bit of luck, he’ll be in the tumbrel next to Blair one day…
Didn’t Mrs. Clinton accuse her opponents of being ‘unacceptable people’?
