Prime Minister Justin Trudeau places a candle in front of the train car, the symbol of the event, to pay tribute to the victims during commemorations on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-BirkenauPrime Minister Justin Trudeau places a candle in front of the train car, the symbol of the event, to pay tribute to the victims during commemorations on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, in Oswiecim, Poland, on Jan. 27, 2025.

What the heck was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doing in Poland?

Poland was marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the death camp of Auschwitz.

The hypocrisy of this man is astounding. He does nothing to combat the antisemitism crisis that is rampant and smouldering in Canada, yet he had the nerve to attend these commemoration ceremonies. He truly has no shame, no moral compass.

This despicable man needs to go, now. I do not want him representing my country, to be the face of Canada to the rest of the world.

WHY WOULD HE GO?

Why would Justin Trudeau go to Poland in support of the more than one million Jews murdered at the Auschwitz concentration camp?

The Liberal government has not shown support for our Canadian Jewish communities throughout Canada since Oct. 7, 2023.

Why wouldn’t we send some Jewish representatives to show Canadian support?

DOESN’T FIT THE DEFINITION

Liberal leadership contender Mark Carney is an outsider like I am prime minister.

By dictionary definition, an outsider is a non-member of some party, profession, etc., or an applicant or competitor thought to have little chance (to win).

That makes it passing strange that the “outsider” has the profile and greatest support of all the Liberal leadership candidates.

Funny how an “outsider” can be so well-known and have so much support as to be one of the early favourites. And must not candidates be a party member to qualify as a candidate? Does not sound like he is an outsider to me.

Guess this must be the latest example of Liberal obfuscation to bewilder and obscure reality for those voting for a new leader. It does prove the saying, “The more things change (a new “outsider” leader), the more they stay the same (party insider continuing the same tired Liberal philosophies and policies under the guise of new and improved).”

Carney is neither new nor improved.
