Legitimate vehement criticism of Justin Trudeau ?

[Tetrachloride]

A short time ago, in a non-political group that I am a member of, a person said Prime Minister Trudeau was the “worst.”. (I presume J Trudeau, not Pierre Trudeau)

I am not familiar with J Trudeau beyond a few basics and compliments by President Biden and DU.

So is there even a chance of legitimate vehement criticism ? Or , is it RWNJ ? Or, is it more likely the person was thinking of Pierre Trudeau?

1. There has been an attack on Justin in Canada and the US lately. Part of

it is Poilievre the new Conservative leader. Part of it was the Republican right getting that Trudeau was like a Gavin Newsome of the north instituting progressive policies and being followed by many Americans. Canada has been an imaginary escape hatch for some in the US. Months ago Fox News was hating on him. Trudeau is honest and truly wants the middle class to thrive. He doesn't have a huge facade like the Republican Party does. He Admits he is a geek. When he won an election he created a Ministry of Middle Class Prosperity and the Conservatives howled. That shows you what the Conservatives think of a healthy middle class. Americans are struggling and looking for a way out of their troubles. Republicans don't want it to be an example of fully functioning liberal democracy and its retail politician Prime Minister. After all it is about sucking all the liberal oxygen out of the room.

2. ty for summation, especially the last line.

Members of that group have revealed a few hints of progressive stances.

The Trudeau comment caught me off guard — I wasn’t sure what I heard. At the time, it was a 3 person Zoom meeting after the conclusion of the meeting.

3. TFG didn't like him but MelYawnia did.

5. TBF he's much more her, ah, "caliber" than TFG was

I can see what she's making that face to him (and would bet a beer she's NEVER mugged like that for TFG).

4. Legitimate criticisim

of course there is. You can legitimately criticize any politician.


Having said that, I'm not overly familiar with Canadian policy, so I have no criticism of that. But I do remember when pictures of him in blackface appeared:

(ETA: We should not make idols of any politician.)
