"Trudeau makes Canadians take to the streets\n\t\t \n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t \n\t\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tCalgary Herald\n\t\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\t30 Jun 2022\n\t\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tCHRIS NELSON Chris Nelson is a regular columnist for the Calgary Herald.\n\t\t \n\t\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t \n\t\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\tThey see him here; they see him there; the whole world sees him everywhere. Except in the House of Commons, which is where Justin Trudeau belongs.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tYes, Canada's answer to the Scarlet Pimpernel is at it again, engaging in the global hopscotching he loves so much, while back home (if he can recall where that is) our country is increasingly disillusioned and distraught.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tIt's actually hard to keep up with this guy. England, Latvia, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Ukraine, the U.S., Rwanda and back to Germany — since March.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tMeanwhile, Parliament is rarely more than an occasional coming together of video images after virtual debate from remote locations, brought in when COVID-19 first hit, was extended for yet another year, thanks to the agreement of that other Liberal-owned and operated political party, one that should change its official moniker to No Darn Principles.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tBut, of course, having to actually debate measures while standing in the House of Commons was never something our prime minister thought worthy of his time. Famously, he was asked, while campaigning for office back in 2015, which country's political system he most admired. China was his immediate answer — because such a dictatorship allows immediate action for the boss man holding power.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tWell, considering how quickly Trudeau invoked emergency measures following that Freedom Convoy last February and the current worrying overreach in the online hate-speech legislation — thanks once again to the NDP'S abject complicity — the prime minister's getting his wish.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tAren't these serious enough issues for proper, full-throated debate in the House of the People? Well, apparently not.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tMeanwhile, national scandals keep popping up like mushrooms following a rainy weekend.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tWorrying evidence the Liberals interfered in a mass murder investigation by urging cops to release details of the assault weapon used — thus aiding a push to tighten gun laws — despite Mounties wanting to keep that detail quiet while working with the FBI to track the actual source of the gun, are shrugged off as nothing too undue.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tOh, and speaking of Trudeau's most-admired country, independent research suggesting China may have interfered in the 2021 federal election by pressuring Chinese-born Canadians to vote Liberal is shelved with barely a murmur. (As a comparison, in the U.S., the Russian interference saga, following Donald Trump's victory, lasted the entire term of his presidency.)\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tOf course, many Canadians have more pressing issues than free speech and government interference in mass murder investigations to concern themselves with.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tBut last week a trip to a federal office here in Calgary brought home just how utterly rotten the current administration has become and how regular citizens pay an increasingly humiliating price.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tBecause you don't have to be an economic wizard or a law school graduate to understand the sheer frustration involved in trying to get your hands on a Canadian passport these days.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tOK, so my wife needed photocopies of two standard documents verified before mailing them to Ottawa, so we trooped off early morning to a Service Canada office in the northeast.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tOn arrival, there was already a queue of about 20 outside the doors. Not moving a single inch in a subsequent hour, my wife asked the nice security guard when we'd likely be served. Probably not today was her reply. Hey, but we could wait for another six hours to discover if our luck was in.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tWe decided to forgo rolling those particular dice — instead, paying a notary public 50 bucks to solve our little issue. Fortunately, we didn't need passports, unlike most folk in that sad, soul-sucking line.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tAll across the country, Canadians face similar frustration, many now camping out overnight to be first in line.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tThis is Trudeau's Canada; so busy play-acting on the world stage that nobody in authority concludes that after two years of Covid-inspired travel restrictions there'd be a mad rush for passports once things opened up.\n\t \n\n\t\n\t\tSo, while the prime minister gallivants across the globe, Canadians line up in the street like hopeful beggars desperate for a handout.\n\t \n\n"
