Is Justin Trudeau worse than Trump?

Let’s face it, a lot has been mentioned about former President Donald Trump, and his previous and present milieu.

You may’t tune into CNN with out catching a Trump report or dialogue — Ukraine and even Israel have been despatched to the backburner.

As soon as once more, Trump is king of the mainstream media. Continuous reviews, to the purpose the place you wish to projectile vomit.

On prime of that, the worry that Trump might win once more — and he might. A revenge presidency, that can trigger havoc.

Or, will it?

We as smug Canadians look on, and suppose we’re so significantly better, a lot superior to People. Gosh, we might by no means vote in somebody like that.

We’re, Canadian!

However let’s simply maintain on a second and have a re-assessment.

Has anybody ever in contrast Trump to our fearless chief, Justin Trudeau?

On the defining second in Canada’s historical past, as we additionally method a federal election, maybe it’s time to ask the massive query: Is Justin Trudeau worse than Donald Trump?

I hate to say it, nevertheless it’s a good query. So, let’s give it a go.

TRUSTWORTHINESS

President Trump has been in comparison with a snake oil salesman, who could not inform the reality if his life relied on it.

A liar of all liars, a egocentric man who can’t be trusted in any form or kind, in response to mainstream media and his political rivals.

However maybe additionally a person, who believes his personal lies. Let’s face it, he’s convincing and has a lot help within the US.

He does have the belief of tens of millions of voters, regardless of alleging the election was stolen. And with every new indictment, a few of which can be politically motivated, he appears to achieve new help.

Have in mind, with sufficient prosecutors, a ham sandwich might be indicted in america of America.

Will he be granted immunity from his authorized troubles? That shoe has but to drop. His attorneys have additionally appealed the Colorado poll ban.

Now, onto our pal, Justin Trudeau.

Time and time once more, Justin has displayed a penchant for not precisely being completely truthful.

To date, and regardless of a number of main scandals, he has remained largely teflon, escaping by the pores and skin of his enamel.

It helps to have the CBC in your pocket, defending you at each flip, after all, in addition to the RCMP, which at all times appears the opposite method.

A lot for at all times “getting their man,” eh.

As considered one of my mates quipped, maybe the true distinction is that Justin hasn’t been caught but?

So so far as trustworthiness, it is a tie.

ECONOMIC POLICY

Below the Trump presidency, the economic system was good, markets had been good, issues appear to be rolling alongside properly. My mutuals did nice and it was enjoyable seeing them go up and up day by day.

Some will say it is due to President Obama however there would not appear to be a lot consensus on that.

Trump additionally pressured new commerce agreements on Canada, which left us on the again heel. Freeland fought arduous however in the long run Trump received.

He additionally supported the Keystone XL pipeline — a significant coup for Canada.

Trudeau, alternatively, is an financial catastrophe within the making.

When he lastly leaves, he could have left a Grand Canyon of debt and if he stays, he’ll proceed to attempt to wipe out the oil and fuel business and injury the agricultural sector.

The affect of his inexperienced insurance policies meshed with new taxes and overspending are main us on a highway to wreck, driving away traders and crushing the center class.

Even worse, is his obsession with pushing by way of damaging laws. Even free speech on the Web is now in query.

As of in the present day, I can not even publish a information story on my Fb. It’s blocked, due to the idiotic Liberal laws.

None of this stuff are good for Canada.

Trump wins this one, fingers down!

POLITICAL SAVVY

Trump has been maligned on each facet, for his political stands: demonizing unlawful immigrants and pushing for a wall between the US and Mexico for starters.

His sole objective, Making America Nice Once more (MAGA), draining the political swamp in Washington and pushing isolationist insurance policies has additionally acquired huge criticism and pushback.

Let’s not even speak about his plan to purchase Greenland, or his suggestion to drink bleach to stave off COVID. Sure, he’s not precisely a rocket scientist.

However I will let you know one factor; he was proper concerning the wall. The scenario on the US/Mexico border has devolved right into a disaster and People usually are not glad about it.

So how about Trudeau? Is he a member of the tall brow membership?

Nicely, going by his quite a few scandals, flubs and follies, together with his political stand in opposition to his personal individuals throughout the convoy protests in Ottawa and plenty of different disasters, I do not actually suppose he is that rather more clever or politically savvy than The Donald.

In reality, the man has little or no political expertise, has by no means operated a enterprise, has by no means run any group, till he took over the reins to the PMO. He was a drama instructor, FFS.

Demonizing grocers for larger meals costs, when it’s his personal carbon taxes which might be boosting transportation prices, that are in flip, impacting the price of residing.

Trump additionally by no means dressed up in blackface for Halloween — at the very least he had the sense to not do one thing so silly. And whereas Trump isn’t tremendously revered abroad, he’s taken critically and he’s feared.

Justin is not taken critically … Xi Jinping mocked him in entrance of media, made him appear like a idiot, which he’s.

As loopy as Trump is — and man, he’s loopy — politically, I feel he is a number of horse-lengths forward of the younger punk.

EMPATHY

Talking actually, I do not suppose there’s an entire lot of empathy within the Trump make-up. The man solely cares for himself and couldn’t give a rattling about his nation, or anybody in it.

He likes making up nasty names for individuals and mocking them.

So no, not plenty of empathy.

As for Trudeau, he pretends to have empathy. What different political chief would throw carbon tax over carbon tax on the pumps, to harm Canadians already reeling from COVID-19 and a hovering price of residing?

Justin solely cares for the voters in Quebec and Ontario, that is what he cares about.

He would not give an excellent goddam concerning the West and all his insurance policies just about telegraph that.

I’ll reduce Justin some slack on this one and name it a tie.

THE MILITARY

No comparability right here — Trump was massive on the army, though he did threaten to tug out of NATO and has instructed he may accomplish that if he returns to the White Home.

Trump additionally berated Canada for not strolling the speak and never paying their justifiable share in NATO. In the meantime, Trudeau continues the Canadian tendency to kick the can down the highway relating to backing the army.

Canada has lastly ordered F-35 jet fighters, new long-range Boeing P8A surveillance plane and after many a long time, a lot wanted MQ-9B Reaper drones.

However underneath the Liberals, Canada is not trusted, being unnoticed of the profitable AUKUS settlement, which incorporates the US, the UK and Australia.

Our air drive is at the moment in disaster, our NORAD defence utterly ineffective in opposition to rising Russian and Chinese language Arctic aggression, our Navy in disarray, our sub drive a whole joke.

Whereas we now have robust and dependable troop forces, nearly as good as anyone else within the phrase, or higher, by no means earlier than has Canada been so undefended.

A shameful scenario harking back to the Nineteen Thirties.

Trump wins this one, by a rustic mile.

WAY OF THE FUTURE

A future underneath Trump is an enormous query mark.

If he turns it right into a revengeful turkey shoot, that won’t be for the nice of America. It’s going to solely settle scores.

There’s nothing flawed with shaking issues up, the institution by no means likes that.

He’ll little doubt rent and hearth on the similar price as earlier than, and spout loopy statements, resembling saying Abraham Lincoln might have stopped the civil struggle by negotiating.

And yeah, he’s a risk to democracy, no query. He has a radical following.

However whereas many suppose the sky will fall, I really suppose it will not. I feel America can and can survive Trump.

If the US democracy lasted this lengthy, it’s going to go on.

So, will Canada survive one other Trudeau time period?

It is a difficult query. Canada, little doubt, will go on, however the potential injury being executed to Confederation is so nice, the Justin after-effect on future generations may very well be unfixable.

A tragic finish, to a once-great nation.

Not like some Canadians, rich ones who’re abandoning the nation, I’m not going anyplace.

I’m going to stay it out, it doesn’t matter what. Holding hope, Canadians will do the appropriate factor when it counts.

Lengthy reside our nice nation.
