You raise valid criticisms of Trudeau but these people aren't concerned with the criticisms you've raise except for using them as gotchas.
I know I'm running a bit ahead of the game here, but it seems there are a lot of non-Canadian WP members who have no clue what Trudeau is really like. He's branded himself as a down-to-earth, cool Liberal who lets us buy pot at the corner store. People who are left-wing in America assume that all "left-wing" or progressively-minded people in Canada must wanna suck Trudeau's d_ _ _ just because he's young, somewhat handsome, and leader of the Liberal party. I don't think people have any clue how racist and misogynous he is, the extent of our environmental and humanitarian crises, or the collapse of our economy. Don't even start me on his father's legacy.
I agree it's not completely related to the trucker issue but it's rare that anyone pays attention to Canadian politics so I'm taking this opportunity to let people know what it's really like. I guess we might consider a separate thread for it, but at the same time there ARE quite a few Canadians who are protesting against Trudeau in general, without regard to the trucker situation. Their voices should be heard too.

Do you think the guys with Confederate flags care if my loved ones who live on a reservation have access to clean drinking water? Hell no, they're the guys who slander us as Siberian freeloaders.
The people with the Confederate flags might not. You're right. But there are a lot of people there without that attitude, who aren't rednecks or racists or radicals. They're just regular people fed up with the BS. It takes passion for any Canadian to get involved when it's -20C, and they're essentially gridlocked into the city with no way out.

If you want an alternative you've got to look at the Greens or the NDP because the right will never offer one if racism and sexism are concerns.
I agree. I don't vote Conservative, and I didn't vote for Trudeau. OK actually I did the first time, but sure as heck not the next two.
