Don’t blame Justin Trudeau for any of the issues facing his government or the country — it’s not his fault and he’s happy to tell you that. From our catch-and-release bail system, to immigration, to the carbon tax, it’s all someone else’s fault and has nothing to do with his disastrous policies.

Did you hear about the two guys who were in a stolen car that crashed into a TTC bus on Monday? They were out on bail but in Trudeau’s world, that’s not his fault, it’s not the fault of his catch-and-release policies including Bill C-75, it’s the fault of provincial judges and justices of the peace.
This has been the false argument Trudeau’s government has put forward for some time now.
It’s true provinces run the administration of justice, including appointing lower court judges and justices of the peace, but it’s the federal government that sets the criminal code. Under Bill C-75, judges and JPs were given very clear instructions to “give primary consideration to the release of the accused at the earliest reasonable opportunity and on the least onerous conditions that are appropriate in the circumstances.”

Those are the rules the feds established and the ones they stick to even as provinces and police associations ask for changes. Oh, and if a justice of the peace does deny bail, they are often overturned by a federal court judge appointed by … the Trudeau government.
On immigration, Trudeau released a video this past weekend explaining what is happening on the immigration front including changes his government is bringing in to reduce immigration numbers.
What was the problem with immigration?
“Increasingly, bad actors like fake colleges and big chain corporations have been exploiting our immigration system for their own interests,” Trudeau said.
Interesting, because last I checked colleges and big chain corporations don’t run Canada’s immigration system. Sure, colleges and universities can ask for more foreign students, companies can apply to bring in foreign workers but it was still the federal government that decided whether to approve or deny those visas.

Last year, the federal government handed out 682,420 student visas. That works out to an average of 1,869 or 77 approvals every hour of every day in 2023. On work permits, we went from 60,000 a decade ago to more than 200,000 last year all after changes to the system that Trudeau introduced in April 2022.
They made the changes to allow what happened to happen, now they are trying to blame schools for accepting students the Trudeau government approved or companies for hiring workers given a permit by Ottawa. When they aren’t blaming schools and companies, they are blaming provinces who don’t run the immigration system.

Trudeau always says he wants to fight misinformation and disinformation and yet he and his government spread it Liberally.
Take his claim on the carbon tax.
“We’re facing a level of attacks of misinformation and disinformation,” Trudeau said at a conference in Brazil as he was discussing the carbon tax.
He portrays everyone against the carbon tax as wanting to do nothing on climate change and a carbon tax as necessary to fight climate change. The United States doesn’t have a carbon tax and their emissions are coming down, Canada has one and ours are going up.
Also, Trudeau refuses to admit what the Parliamentary Budget Officer has shown, when the total economic impact is considered, most Canadians pay more than they get back in rebates. In fact, a Trudeau minister called that claim by the PBO “disinformation” during Question Period on Monday.
The way Trudeau sees it, his carbon tax isn’t unpopular because it makes life more expensive, it’s unpopular because other people are lying about it.
In Trudeau’s world, nothing is his fault, even when the problem staring him in the face is the direct result of his policies.
