While thousands of Canadians spent Christmas at the airport — stranded due to some of the lousiest holiday weather in memory — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was living the high life in the land of the ganja, Jamaica. .Before leaving for the sun and sand, Trudeau offered his usual pat condolences for those of us who didn’t have access to the government aircraft that the prime minister is required to use. WestJet may be grounded, but Air RCAF is always up to the task. ."To Canadians affected by winter weather across the country — please stay safe," Trudeau said. ."Crews are working hard to clear roads, restore power, and bring services back online. Let’s check in on our friends and neighbours to ask how they’re doing and see if they need anything." .This is Trudeau at this narcissistic best, telling us all how much he cares and that’s why he didn’t plan to be around for the Canadian winter from hell — if that’s not an oxymoron. .Trudeau even reached out to people who are considering suicide because of the high cost of living in Canada, declaring that to be “unfortunate,” even though he’s the clown who is pushing assisted suicide like it’s an original problem solver. .Trudeau has historically immersed himself into his ego-driven trouble at Christmas. Remember the 2016 visit to the Aga Khan, when the prime minister contravened conflict of interest regulations? I called it Khangate at the time. .Here was Trudeau vacationing and using the helicopter of a billionaire who had received $330 million in funding from the federal government. It certainly looked like a clear case of conflict of interest. .But things like conflict of interest don’t bother Justin Trudeau. He just doesn’t think Canadians really care what he does in his spare time — whether it’s fleeing the country or binge watching comic book fare like The Boys, as we learned is his passion in a year-end interview. .At a news conference in Peterborough, ON, Trudeau was asked if his holiday trip was a mistake — but ‘mistake’ is not in Trudeau’s vocabulary when applied to him. When asked if Canadians cared about his Aga Khan visit, Trudeau refused to answer, but said, “I’ve been engaging with Canadians for the past few days and the issues that interest them are the issues that affect them and their families.” .As we learned this year, the RCMP almost charged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over his sleazy visit to Muslim leader’s private island but decided it wasn’t in the “public interest” to do so. That just demonstrated how irrelevant the force has become in deciding what is in the public interest. Stopping government corruption is always in the public’s interest. Charging Trudeau would definitely be in our interest. .Teflon Trudeau kept of rolling on all 16 insouciant cylinders. .That wasn’t good enough for Conservative MP James Bezan (Selkirk-Interlake-Eastman, MB), whom I interviewed earlier this year for a Western Standard column. .“I think the bigger interest around public interest is Canadians need to know their prime minister is not above the law. And they say in their own criminal brief if it was any other Canadian, if it was any other government official, they would have charged them with fraud against the government. But because Justin Trudeau was PM, they did not act, which means Justin Trudeau can act with impunity and he’s not above the law and should be held to a higher standard than other government officials, not a lower one,” Bezan said. .Well, Trudeau will continue to operate on a lower standard because that’s how he’s constituted. Anybody who can’t remember exactly how many times he performed in blackface, but can smear unvaccinated truckers as racists and misogynists is not just operating at lower ethical and moral standard but living in an alternate universe.
