While tearfully affirming that Canada's "most important" relationship is with Indigenous people, he jets off at our expense to surf in Tofino on the first National Day for Indigenous People.
Not that that should surprise any thinking person, but sadly the outcome of this election clearly shows that most people -- at least those in the GTA, where all outcomes are determined -- are not thinkers. They're probably not readers or English speakers either because they're too busy raising families and working hard to be able to pick up a newspaper, peruse it leisurely with a coffee or learn English. By the time another election rolls 'round, his little jaunt will have been long forgotten.
However, it occurred to me that Trudeau may be coming to the realization that you only have to pay public lip service to native issues and leaders because the majority don't vote in secular elections. I mean, why bother courting them? More than one native chief -- particularly the one whose reservation is right beside Tofino -- have expressed "disappointment" over Trudeau's snubbing of invitations to celebrate the day in person. Heck, for Tofino, he could have hopped on over for a few minutes while his towel was drying.
I truly hope natives wake up and realize that this prime minister is one of the phoniest and narcissistic ever. I truly hope they start calling him out publically on his hypocrisy. I truly hope they will concentrate on his lack of character, instead of simply asking for more money. This behaviour goes to the heart of what he is, a shallow opportunist who thinks only of himself and his personal gratification.
You'd think his wife would step in and prevent him from such egregious and nakedly self-serving displays, but she is obviously as shameless as he.
