Musings on Greenwood

The article I’ve linked to needs no elaboration.

Justin Trudeau was concerned that the Conservative Government was being too harsh on cultures that practice honour killing, genital mutilation and other benevolent but misunderstood multicultural gems (I’m being sarcastic) by describing such acts as ‘barbaric’ in a pamphlet for new Canadians.

Understandably, Trudeau has become the nation’s laughingstock and nobody is laughing harder than the Tories.

Jason Kenney had been under fire recently for his aggressive recruiting of the immigrant vote for the Conservatives.

First, that wasn’t really a scandal because the Liberals did the same thing while in power. Yes, that includes little Justin’s father.

Second, Kenney is now out of the cellar.

What was Trudeau thinking? Mere self-preservation should tell you there’s no upside to criticizing a government for being too harsh on people who practice forced marriages, genital mutilation and honour killing.

He’s turned himself into a punching bag. The guy now has a bullseye on his face and rightly so. He’ll never live this one down. Any question he now asks in Question Period, the ‘answer’ from the government will reference this stupid comment.

I’ll take it a step further; Trudeau just handed the Tories a club to beat the Libearls everytime they raise questions about equality or women’s issues. This blunder will be trotted out again and again.

It’s political correctness run amok.

As this article points out, the Canadian Left just fell into its own trap.

Read the article and laugh yourself silly. This looks good on Trudeau.
