In 2013 Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau took time off from his dress-up and black face fun to praise China's dictatorship, showing the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
In 1952 Justin's dad, Pierre, visited Russia with four other Canadian Communists and said he was a Communist and was there to criticize the U.S.
Justin's brother Alexandre thought Fidel Castro was the best and said so in a Happy Birthday column in 2002.
In 2013, Justin met with people from China, Taiwan, Tibet and Korea. When Le Petite Trudeau was asked which nation he admired most, he answered, "There's a level of admiraton I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime."
Apparently time has not changed Trudeau's point of view. This week he showed signs of exercising dictatorship-like policies in his handling of The Truckers, who are demanding the return of their civil liberties.
He will, Trudeau said, invoke the never-used Emergencies Act to freeze truckers' bank accounts, cancel insurance on their vehicles, and punish all who dare to assist them in their protest.
President Joe was all for him telling these truckers a thing or two.
Dictatorships are so unpleasant.
Hang tough.
