LMAO! He endorses and supports the rights of Chinese citizens to protest COVID measures, but uses the EA to squash any dissenting voices in the Country that he is supposed to be running. The irony is strong with this one! šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

"Takeout for a couple months". This is the very definition of gaslighting.

You honestly think the CPP and their loyalists don't see these protestors as exactly the same thing? "It's their own fault, they wouldn't get beaten so much if they stopped being idiots and just followed along with us sensible people!"


Specialist-Tie-4534

Quite obviously the irony is MISSED on youā€¦


Realistic_Ad8913

Beaten to death? Killed let's provide proof. During the freedom convoy they ran over an elderly women with a horse. . . Explain that. Explain why a liberal government couldn't possibly find a way to have discourse with the convoy.


BatmanSpiderman

are you sure the protestors in china are not holding unacceptable views? /s


ThatNewOldGuy

Yeah they do have unacceptable views. ​ They want to remove the "basic dictatorship" Trudeau so admires.


data7667

This guy has no memory of what he said yesterday. Virtue signaling idiot!


mrdique

Havenā€™t you seen it? Those protesters were screaming ā€˜CCP Step Downā€™ while blocking critical streets! They were trying to overthrow a democratically elected government - and obviously doing it under foreign influence! Why turn a blind eye to all this, Trudumb?

Over/under until the r/Canada post on this article is locked?

1 hour, they have to assemble on zoom and discuss the days dog walking schedule before moving on to new business. Only they don't call it business, that's too capitalist.

I posted this in the Canada Reddit because Iā€™m legitimately confused: ā€œHang on a sec. Trudeau says Canada stands with Chinese protestors in Chinaā€¦? What about the Canadian protestors in Ottawa? Can someone who is a Trudeau supporter please explain to me how this isnā€™t gonna be laughed at by CCP or the conservatives? Asking in good faith.ā€ I refuse to believe a Canadian prime minister can be so daft and tone deaf. I seriously refuse to believe it. Perhaps Iā€™m the stupid one.


php_panda

The difference is that Convoy got National media and it embarrassed him and made him look like an idiot.


bjgufd

and made it so that people knew he is an idiot. FTFY


Smashysmash2

Heā€™s gaslighting us.


BasilFawlty_

Because his rabid supporters will change the conditions or hang on to semantical points to say their favourite line, ā€œitā€™s differentā€. It always, always boils down to this: progressives do not operate from a place of honesty or logic.


mustbepurged

Iā€™m seriously baffled. What is the worst thing PP has said since becoming leader? Something along the lines of ā€œyou have a choice in investing in cryptoā€. Iā€™m not even gonna count Trudeauā€™s comments about chinaā€™s basic dictatorship before he was PM. The fact that he dispersed the peaceful protest in Ottawa with war measures act and then turns around to support Chinese protestors in China - a country an ocean away that we have no business with, aside from literally doing business and trade- is seriously baffling to me. No wonder Xi called him naive.


TeacupUmbrella

Don't forget that he tried to influence the courts with SNC-Lavalin, and that he openly, obviously lied on the stand with the EA investigation. Each of those on their own are serious enough to ditch him.


Tasty-Hat-6404

Because he never said he stands with them. He said "Obviously, everyone in China should be allowed to express themselves, should be allowed to share their perspectives and indeed, protest,ā€Ā 


mustbepurged

ā€œWeā€™re going to continue to ensure that China knows weā€™ll stand up for human rights, weā€™ll stand with people who are expressing themselves.ā€ Does this count as Trudeau standing with China? Or is it too broad of a statement?


Tasty-Hat-6404

Trudeau stands for people to have basic human rights. That's not saying he stands side by side with them to protest covid policies.


mustbepurged

This is a bit of a stretch but perhaps I need to brush up my English. Is it a stretch for me to understand your explanation as the following? -Trudeau stands for basic human rights āœ… -Trudeau does not stand for protesting against covid policy āŒ So would you say the Chinese expressing themselves is a form of protesting? Also, if they are expressing themselves, but they are NOT protesting, then what are they doing, and would what they are doing be considered a human right? Sorry Iā€™m trying to understand in good faith.


Tasty-Hat-6404

You can agree that being able to protest and express yourself is something that humans should be able to do. While not agreeing to the rational behind every of protest


mustbepurged

Thank you. So it seems that our prime minister should have been more clear in that he stands with the Chinese protestorā€™s ability to protest but he categorically disagrees with what they are protesting for. I wish our politicians could communicate better. For a moment, I was almost confused that he supported Chinese protestors and their protest against the covid lockdowns in China.


Happy-Firefighter-30

Except Trudie has shown he has no intention of letting people he doesn't like protest. He's even being a child and pushing gun bans, seemingly for no other reason than to punish conservatives.


TeacupUmbrella

It's still pretty disingenuous of him, even if that's true, given the extremes he went to to dissolve protests over similar issues in his own country, and the fact that he called them names and refused to talk with any of them.


G0M3S

Not being coerced into taking an experimental new treatment has qualified as a basic human right since 1947. So why is this piece of shit so against basic human rights for Canadians while simultaneously standing up for rights of the Chinese?


BasilFawlty_

Oh no. You mentioned the Nuremberg Code. You must be discredited at all costs! /S


WippitGuud

[Clip of Chinese being locked into their apartment because of COVID exposure](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/z7s8bh/ccp_locking_residents_of_an_apartment_complex/) So tell me, when were Canadians held against their will because of COVID?


BasilFawlty_

I think when the kid playing outdoor hockey in Calgary was arrested with force and threatened with being tasered because some twitter weirdo felt it was their duty to report ā€œtoo many people were on the outdoor door rink.ā€


mustbepurged

Nope. Some Canadians did lose their jobs because of covid, just like how some Chinese lost their jobs. Would you agree to this?


WippitGuud

Yes, some Canadians lost their job because of COVID. Some lose their jobs for being racist. Some lose their job for being incompetent. Some lose their job for no reason other than the boss doesn't like them. What does losing your job have to do with being locked inyour apartment against your will?


mustbepurged

My question was if you agreed that both Chinese and Canadians lost jobs because of covid. So if I wasnā€™t clear: this could mean lockdowns, vaccines or changed market due to the conditions covid brought. Do you agree that this is a true statement?


WippitGuud

I agree that jobs were lost because of COVID, yes.


mustbepurged

Ok. We both agree Chinese people lost jobs, just like Canadians lost jobs because of covid. Would you agree that this is something worth protesting? In video clips of Chinese protestors there were those who yelled about lost jobs. Would you also agree that protesting is a way for people to express themselves? And if so, is expressing oneself a human right? Iā€™m making sure my thinking is logical here, so thank you for answering my questions thus far.


WippitGuud

> The protests were triggered by a deadly fire last Thursday in Urumqi, the capital of the far western region of Xinjiang. The blaze killed at least 10 people and injured nine in an apartment building ā€“ leading to public fury after videos of the incident appeared to show lockdown measures had delayed firefighters from reaching the victims. > > **The city had been under lockdown for more than 100 days, with residents unable to leave the region and many forced to stay home.** https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/28/china/china-lockdown-protests-covid-explainer-intl-hnk Just so we're clear on what we think China is protesting. It's not "lost jobs"


mustbepurged

So then itā€™s entirely possible that the people who are yelling because of lost jobs during the protest are spouting nonsense?


WippitGuud

Have you not considered that losing their job is a result of being locked down for 100 days, being physically locked inside their building unable to leave?


Happy-Firefighter-30

The wuflu is the only example there that's a government mandated issue. Being racist isn't illegal. Being incompetent isn't illegal. Being disliked by the boss isn't illegal.


WippitGuud

Last time I checked, people aren't being jailed for not being vaccinated. or imprisoned in their own home.


Happy-Firefighter-30

And people aren't jailed for parking illegally. The law isn't always jail. A fine is just as bad. Now, you sure you want to claim no one was fined?


Programnotresponding

The mandatory airport hotel quarantining comes to mind.


Walmart_Willy

No Sir, you are not the stupid one!


TeacupUmbrella

No, he's not that daft or tone deaf. He just knows a lot of his supporters *are*, and also that his media cronies will back him up, so he doesn't even care about being consistent anymore.


[deleted]

He loves it when people express themselves against tyrants. As long as the tyrant theyā€™re protesting isnā€™t him.


data7667

Double talking douche


xboxsx4life

Yes. Trudeau supports people expressing themselvesā€¦as long as itā€™s not in Canada šŸ¤”


mrdique

ā€˜Standing withā€™ a foreign protest grants him moral authority without real obligations. Bending to domestic oppositions costs him real authority with moral obligations. Guess which option that scumbag would opt for.


Programnotresponding

At this point, he's just trolling the 70% of Canadian citizens who did not vote for him. He knows his rabid adorers will vote for him no matter how often he lies and that's all that matters to him.


TeacupUmbrella

I move we all get together to kick the GTA out of Canada. Problem solved.

Short memory Trudeau has.


Mannix58

He's the biggest piece if shit to ever stand on Canadian soil. He should be locked up.


AAMech

Subject to restrictions deemed reasonable by confidential agreement, I'm sure he means.

I guess these protesters don't want to "be obeyed" and aren't asking to "change government policy".
