UNDERMINING FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY

   It should take but microseconds to arrive at an observation that media has burned into the psyche of Canadians. Whatever problems exist in contemporary Canada, the public is responsible. Not government decision-makers, media practitioners, nor socialist academics. Always and forever, the responsibility is found in the attitudes of the general public.
   On the campaign trail in 2021, Justin Trudeau was met by jeering crowds at stops across the country. Much attention was paid to an incident where a protester threw gravel at our prime minister. Trudeau had to cancel a planned rally in Bolton, Ont., due to concern for “crowd safety.”
   After cancelling the event, Trudeau said he’d never seen “the same intensity of anger displayed along the campaign trail.” Could this be because no prime minister in history has been disliked as much as Justin Trudeau? Can the reason reside in the idea that this PM has undermined freedom and democracy like no national leader?
