Op-ed from the Voice of Truth: The embarrassment that is Trudeau

Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.

The wishes of Rosie Barton and her never-Trumper colleagues at the Canadian Broadcorping Castration notwithstanding, the bombshell story of Canadian Liberal Party leader Just In Trudeau being exposed as an incurable narcissist is not going to go away any time soon. In the aftermath of the shocking revelations (via photos and video) of his penchant for dressing up in fancy costumes that include brownface and blackface makeup, Mr Socks has been called many things, including a hypocrite (Donna Friesen, Global TV national news anchor, and Stephen LeDrew, National Post). Walt is surprised that no-one has yet used the term "narcissist". IMHO, the definition above describes M Trudeau perfectly.

Perhaps no-one noticed that the once and (he hopes) future Prime Minister of Canuckistan lacks empathy for others -- a flaw that would encompass "racial insensitivity" -- because Just In is so good at projecting the opposite image. He's the master of apology, including the shedding of crocodile tears, to everyone (especially "marginalized communities") for every sin, real or imagined, or everyone but himself. Hey, he was a drama teacher, remember?

He has worn for so long the mask and costume of the post-modern, metrosexual champion of feminism, diversity and "wokeness" that I suspect he believes his own stuff! But today many Canucks are saying that there is some truth to the Cuckservatives' campaign message that the very white (except sometimes) knight in shining armor is "not as advertised".

This theme is taken up today by Melissa J. Gismondi, a writer and journalist who holds a PhD in American history from the University of Virginia, in an op-ed piece for the New York Times (aka the Voice of Truth and Political Correctness) entitled "The Downfall of Canada’s Dreamy Boyfriend". The article is too long to reprint in its entirety (besides which the failing Times might sue us), so I'll just recommend it as "further reading".

And in conclusion, I'll just excerpt the last two paragraphs.

"For Canadians, though, the story is different. It also has bigger stakes, coming as it does in the middle of a federal election that has seen the Liberals and Conservatives neck-and-neck in the polls. It's the latest in a series of scandals that have led many liberals to grow disillusioned and, yes, even flat out embarrassed by Mr. Trudeau.

"Sorry, Americans. As Canadians living in the United States, we tried to tell you: That dude you thought was your dreamy boyfriend? He's not all he's cracked up to be. And like you, we're wondering, as Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party and the first person of color to lead a major party, put it: 'Who is the real Mr. Trudeau?'"
