What a Scam:

 The PM is reported to be out there, kissing babies and glad-handing people, while pointing out how generous his government is with those Carbon Tax Rebates.

No doubt he's guessing that very few among his electorate will link the climbing costs of gasoline, groceries and just about everything else with the money they are receiving in those rebates.

He has every right to show such disdain for the intelligence of his electorate. They elected him.

We pay for those rebates every time we go shopping. Milk, which used to be $4.00, is now $5.50; bread climbed from $1.20 to $3.50; eggs from $1.50 a year ago to $3.50 per dozen, and up to $6 for those customers dumb enough to believe that the hens put forth a special effort at the higher cost. 

Those costs climb almost daily when farmers, manufacturers, and suppliers all scramble to cover the cost of those carbon taxes imposed by Ottawa. The truckers add their vastly increased cost of fuel.

Trudeau's team appears to have calculated that the average voter out there would be too dazzled with their rebates to connect what they have already paid in advance.

National Embarassment:

 Our PM's speechwriters must be tired of digging up new reasons for him to grovel in abject contrition on behalf of all Canadians.

The latest, it appears, is for a segment of our black population who, it is claimed, were forcibly restrained from going out and becoming great heroes on the front lines. This was during a war which real heroes--those that survived--tried hard to forget.

It was almost too embarassing to watch the PM going through this entry-level classroom exercise on behalf of adult Canadians.

Is there any social group left in Canada that we are not going to have to apologize to? 

I guess it depends on the numbers represented in the minority groups seeking social significance through politicians who would do anything for votes.
