We agree with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging all political leaders to avoid using incendiary rhetoric and to denounce intimidation and threats of violence against politicians.

Trudeau and the Liberals have aimed all of their fire on this issue at Conservative leadership campaign frontrunner Pierre Poilievre to solve this problem because, they say, it starts and ends with his tacit support of racists, misogynists and right-wing extremists.
Poilievre has dismissed the allegation, noting in the wake of the verbal harassment of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland by a man who swore at her, called her a traitor and told her to leave Alberta, that such behaviour was unacceptable and must stop.
Including the abuse levelled against his family to the point where, he said, he had to hire private security to protect them.
So we’re all agreed. Threats are unacceptable and political leaders should denounce them and be mindful of their own rhetoric.
But that includes Trudeau, who weaponized vaccine mandates during the last election using an age-old tactic of political leaders in hard times — creating a scapegoat.
In this case, it was the unvaccinated. Abandoning his previous positions against vaccine mandates and passports as divisive, Trudeau condemned the unvaccinated. Extremists used Trudeau’s divisive rhetoric to their advantage — mounting an attack not just against vaccine mandates but against government itself.

Post-election, Liberal MP Joel Lightbound called out Trudeau in a stunning rebuke, given how the PM typically deals with caucus dissent (see Jody Wilson-Raybould, Jane Philpott).
“It’s time to stop dividing Canadians, to stop pitting one part of the population against another,” Lightbound said.
“I can’t help but notice with regret that both (the) tone and the policies of my government changed dramatically on the eve and during the last election campaign.
“From a positive and unifying approach, a decision was made to wedge, to divide and stigmatize … This is not a risk we ought to be taking lightly.”
A recent national survey by Leger found 61% of Canadians agreed Trudeau is divisive because he “often favours certain groups and regions of the country over others, which has created national unity issues.” Only 22% disagreed. The rest were unsure.
Trudeau should look in the mirror.

Given that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau frequently accuses his critics of being racists and white supremacists, it’s hardly surprising a Liberal backbencher would do the same. Say hello to Ontario Liberal MP Chris Bittle. In a bizarre leap of logic, Bittle suggested University of Ottawa...
