When liberals get smacked by reality: Trudeau edition



Borders are an area where liberals stumble into the swamp of hypocrisy. Walls and fences are fine around their homes, but not around their country. Armed security can keep troublemakers away from their personal space, but similar measures on the American border are somehow racist, xenophobic, or (the latest insult) white supremacist.

Canada, our neighbor to the north, has a problem with refugees and illegal immigrants just as we do. The difference is that Canada has Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in charge, a young liberal leader far more intent on virtue-signaling to other like-minded European leaders than on protecting his country.

Last January, in response to President Trump's travel ban, Trudeau tweeted, "To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada." Hashtag and all. The only thing missing is a multicolored lapel ribbon proclaiming Canada's diversity.

Now, after big talk, Trudeau is facing a crisis of his own making. Funny that he now sounds more like Trump than the E.U. socialist leaders he emulates. This past week, Trudeau changed his tone from last January, saying, "Canada is an opening and welcoming society, but let me be clear. We are also a country of laws."

He went farther, channeling his inner Donald Trump: "entering Canada irregularly is not an advantage. There are rigorous immigration and customs rules that will be followed. Make no mistake." The Trump transformation for Trudeau would have been complete if only he had inserted "believe me" or "big league" into his remarks, but otherwise, his statement would seem perfectly normal coming from President Trump.

Hmmmm... instead of illegal immigrants they are irregular immigrants. I'm surprised nobody here has picked that up term.
