Open season on Trudeau’s bad haircut
DEAR EDITOR:
Re: Call it what you will, It’s still the same old dirty oil, Courier letters, Aug. 2.
What’s the point of Patrick MacDonald buffing up Justin Trudeau’s tarnished image? It seems more like idolatry than anything else. There won’t be a federal election until Jagmeet Singh says so. It would be unseemly to join the widespread mockery of Trudeau for sporting Jim Carrey’s hairdo style from “Dumb and Dumber.” But it’s open season if he starts looking like Carrey in “Liar, Liar” or “Kick Ass 2.”
Academic credentials are one thing, but what matters is what one does with them. You can’t acquire wisdom, ethics and good judgement in school. These are learned in the great university of life, and some never graduate. Education is great, but some of the most highly educated people I’ve worked with were impractical idiots. And some of the wisest and most productive never got beyond Grade 8.
Some study the humanities and gain an understanding that human potential is best fulfilled through freedom and opportunity which allows people to develop themselves. Socialism promotes dependency and mediocrity, and suffocates freedom.
Those who demand more benefits funded by more government debt are mortgaging the possibilities of future generations to satisfy their appetites today. The foolishness will end at some point. It’s been quite a run for Trudeau, but a bad one for the country. He’s really jumped the shark with his crackdown on fertilizers which will limit food production in hungry times. Politicians inevitably defeat themselves.
This policy is the latest failure from a shop-worn regime which substitutes image, ideology, divisive wedge politics and arbitrary controls for constructive ideas.
Trudeau’s performance as an educator is murky, although those yearbook images are quite vivid. His teaching career was fairly brief, and appears to have ended on terms other than his own.
Every head office has some ornamental executives. Most soon recognize these perfumed princes for what they are. It takes time for others to see through their charades and tomfoolery. MacDonald doesn’t need to keep selling Justin Trudeau.
The record speaks for itself, and it’s dimming by the day. Leave promoting Trudeau, goal tending for the Liberals and slagging the Conservatives to the CBC.
They received an extra $27.4 million in wages and bonuses for their efforts last year.
Carrey is a pretty decent actor who makes people laugh; unlike Justin Trudeau who keeps disappointing them. Trudeau can’t tell the difference between reality and pretending, which makes him both a lousy actor and a poor leader.
