Prime Minister Fidel Boy Band Trudeau Gets the Cover Shots...
...but we better understand who the bit players are and what their roles are.
Canadian PM Fidel Zoolander Trudeau, Jr. draws all the magazine covers, but it helps to take a look at the bit players on the stage.
Sometimes their roles are bigger than they appear.
One wonders, why do all these people have connections to Ukraine?
Canada's Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland, has an interesting backstory:
1. Grandparents were Ukrainian.
2. Was an exchange student in the USSR and became and activist, eventually attracting the attention of the KGB for delivering money, video and audio recording equipment, and a personal computer to contacts in Ukraine.
3. Graduated from Harvard University (BA in Russian history and literature)
4. Began a career as a journalist as a stringer for the Financial Times, The Washington Post and The Economist while working in Ukraine.
5. Was editor for the Financial Times, also serving as Moscow Bureau Chief.
6. Turned to politics in 2013, winning an election in Toronto as a member of the Liberal Party.
7. Supported the Ukrainian Revolution in 2014 and she was one of thirteen Canadians banned from travelling to Russia under retaliatory sanctions imposed by Russian president Vladimir Putin in March 2014.
8. She became Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs in 2017. During her time in office, she (according to Wikipedia):
a. On March 6, 2017, together with National Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan, Freeland announced Canada's military training mission in Ukraine would be extended until March 2019.
b. In August 2017, Freeland has instructed her department and officials to 'energetically' review reports of Canadian-made military vehicles being used against civilians in Shia-populated city of Al-Awamiyah by Saudi Arabian security forces.
c. Freeland condemned the persecution of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. She said the violence against the Rohingya "looks a lot like ethnic cleansing and that is not acceptable."
d. Freeland issued a statement via Twitter on August 2, 2018, expressing Canada's concern over the recent arrest of Samar Badawi, a human rights activist and sister of imprisoned Saudi blogger Raif Badawi. She advocated their release. In response to Canada's criticism, Saudi Arabia expelled Canada's ambassador, and froze trade with Canada.
e. In September 2018, Freeland raised the issue of Xinjiang re-education camps and human rights abuses against the Uyghur Muslim minority in a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
f. In January 2019, at the request of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Canada granted asylum to 18-year-old Saudi teenager Rahaf Mohammed, who was fleeing her abusive family in Kuwait, Freeland personally greeted Mohammed at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
g. Freeland condemned Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, who had "seized power through fraudulent and anti-democratic elections."
h. On April 18, 2019, she was ranked 37th among the world's leading leaders in Fortune Magazine's annual list.
i. Freeland voiced support for the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests. In October 2019, Freeland condemned the unilateral Turkish invasion of the Kurdish areas in Syria.
9. Appointed as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, she became responsible for enacting Trudeau’s domestic policies
10. In 2020, she became Minister of Finance and became the Chair of the Canadian federal response to the Covid pandemic.
11. She is full in on the Great Reset, yesterday announcing a de facto takeover of the Canadian banking system as a way to fight the Canadian Trucker protest.
If you consider her liberal career of fighting for the little guy and working for a free Ukraine in the run up to the Ukrainian revolution in 2014, it would seem unlikely she would be pursuing the very same governmental oppression of her own Canadian people she fought against her entire career.
I guess a fizzled-out pandemic just brings out the totalitarian impulse.
As the say, scratch a liberal and underneath find a communist.
