Womanly Trudeau calls for resolve

The illegal rail blockade is proving that Justin Trudeau is nothing like his father.  When faced with an “apprehended insurrection” Pierre Trudeau declared the War Measures Act and dealt with the FLQ crisis firmly.  Justin is spinelessly asking the nation for resolve, but resolve for what?  To be patient with his irresolution?

The blockade of the CN Rail lines is not just illegal, it is absurd.  CN has nothing to do with the GasLink project, which will transfer natural gas by pipeline from B.C. gas fields to an LNG plant in Kitimat.  From there, LNG will be sold to Asian countries as a substitute fuel for coal.  Natural gas has a superior carbon profile to coal.  What could an honest Leftie find wrong with that?

All the relevant Aboriginal bands, through their legal, elected leadership, have signed on to the deal, and are looking forward to the employment that construction of the pipeline will provide.  All the regulatory hurdles have been jumped.  The protesters, insofar as they are authentic aboriginals and not opportunistic white leftists, maintain that hereditary chiefs and clan mothers were not consulted.  In short, self-appointed bosses are claiming undemocratic authority, and a tiny number of their followers are permitted to shut down the operations of an innocent company.  The entire Canadian political leadership are afraid to appear cracking heads and enforcing the rule of law.

In Ontario, Mohawks are claiming that they haven’t surrendered the land on which the CN line runs in Mississauga – which is true inasmuch as the land was never possessed by the tribe and were never in a position to surrender sovereignty over it.  There is a reason why Mississauga is called Mississauga, and not Mohawk.

Given that there is nothing to resolve and no one on the Aboriginal side with whom to authoritatively resolve it, Trudeau is faced with nothing short of an insurrection of idiots.  And there is nothing to do with an unresolvable insurrection except to put it down by force.

This crisis is exposing Justin for the womanly, passive-aggressive bully that he is.  Law is just for the law-abiding, so far as Justin in concerned.  He will beat up on law-abiding gun owners for his political benefit, because he is confident they will, in the end, obey the law and not resort to violence.  Andrew Scheer gets excluded from a leaders’ meeting because he wasn’t playing nice with Justin.  When Jody Wilson-Raybould wasn’t getting his message, he shuffled her off to another portfolio.  All very womanly of him.

Justin’s personal weaknesses are suddenly placing the future of the country at risk.  He isn’t upholding the rule of law.  He wilts in the face of thuggery.  He is showing the world that there is no use in trying to invest in Canada, because the regulatory hurdles never end and if they do more are simply invented.  He is teaching the Left that violence works, with him at least.

There is no doubt that once the police are unleashed, heads are made to hurt, and crippling fines are imposed, the protests and blockade will collapse and not be quickly resumed.  The question is how long Canada has to wait before her political leaders act like men.  An irresolute ending of the crisis will only invite the next time.

If Justin doesn’t find a manly spine soon, his political career will deservedly end at the next election.
