who knew Justin Trudeau would turn out to be a tool. Looks and charisma aren't everything. BTW, blackface in Canada? Canada seems closer to life in the US than we Americans natively believed in the '70's.

Is there a new story? The Trudeau blackface scandal hit the news in 2019. Just curious if there is new info that I haven’t seen?

No, I meant his statements and actions during the protest.

Apparently, the protests worked and vaccination passports have been cancelled?

If so, I think this was the right outcome.

Sooo…. “Vaccination passports” are provincial, not federal. Many provinces lifted vaccination requirements shortly after the protests, though that was also when Omicron was subsiding. But the “protests” were being led by a group of people with known ties to racist, ultra right wing organizations, largely funded by ultra right folks in the US, so….. while I didn’t love the emergency measures act that was used, I understand why it was used, and was happy to see it removed about a week after it was enacted (rather than the 30 days that was allowed). The Ottawa Police were not doing their job to get rid of the occupiers, and the people who actually live in downtown Ottawa needed the occupiers to leave for their health and safety.

He's talking at some point about 2014 (when the US led a regime change war in Ukraine.)

It's said the first casualilty of war is truth.

The "one side is righteous" or "democratic" in this case isn't working for me.

Trudeau sounds like an American politician in my humble opinion.
