Canada is guilty of Trudeaumania twice over, but I still don't understand the fanatical fandoms that (mostly white) Americans form around politicians, and Dems get so smug that it's a GOP thing only, but I witnessed some of the most genuinely buckwild Dem stanning back in 2020 and it was horrifying? People I knew breaking down into sobs while watching docs about Hilary and talking about her like an actual goddess, buying Biden mugs and t-shirts, etc., and yes, all of them were also Swifties and uh, weirdly defensive of G*l G*dot whenever she was awful 😬

In Canada, Trudeau has used the most recent crime to justify banning an entire array of weapons. Some are arguing he has exceeded his authority. http://rfr.bz/ie0ht8 #canada #politics #canada🇨🇦 #canada🍁 #canadalife #justintrudeau #trudeau #instapolitics #canadianpolitics #trudeaumania #sophiegregoiretrudeau #justinpjtrudeau #trudeaufortreason #trudeausucks #justintrudeaufanclub #trudeaumustgo https://www.instagram.com/p/B_02KrYANAT/?igshid=1rjnykoh5s6eg

Repose en paix, Pierre Elliott Trudeau.  A wildly popular and wildly polarizing figure in Canadian politics (the phenomenon was called Trudeaumania), Trudeau is the father of our Justin Trudeau, the first pair of Canadian Prime Ministers to be related.  His motto, “reason before passion,” helped unify Canada at a time when its unity was seemingly unraveling (think of the heyday of the Front de libération du Québec).  PET died on this date in 2000 at the age of 80, and remains the third longest-serving Canadian Prime Minister thus far, at 15 years, 164 days.

On the last night of March 2012, Justin Trudeau climbed into a boxing ring in downtown Ottawa, the Canadian capital, intent on rescuing his public image. He was clad in a lustrous red robe, the colour of the Liberal party, for which he was then a junior member of parliament.

In the opposite…

A PRINCESS AT TI-PÈRE (Part 3).

By C. Lachaussée/ Radio-Canada. (Translation from French to English by myself @gracie-bird).

There was no lack of illustrious visitors at Ti-Père, from René Lévesque to Robert Bourassa, including Jean Béliveau. We also saw many Church people there! It seems that it was the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec Paul Comtois who started the ball rolling in 1964 by signing his guestbook, and Lionel Faucher will have remained grateful to him all his life.

The Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Elliott Trudeau will not have failed to go for his turn too, just days after Grace of Monaco, while the country was swimming in the middle of Trudeaumania . Arrived by motorbike with his usual slingshot, he had made his way through the crowd himself to enjoy Madame Faucher's cake and a little pick-me-up.

End of post 3. It continues in the following post.

That cursed Discord was also when I learned that white Americans will fandomize politicians and actually collect merchandise like t-shirts and mugs for their favourite candidates and even unironically horny post (yes, Biden too), like, I thought Trudeaumania 2.0 here was annoying, but it was nothing on the scale of what these (mostly, but not all) white American acquaintances were doing for the Dem primary candidates (except Bernie, whom they hated for being the Enemy of Hilary to the point of antisemitism) and even that ended fairly quickly after he showed his ass almost immediately after becoming PM and honestly, the most hardcore JT stans I saw were white American libs for unsurprising reasons tbh

"Trudeaumania" but this time as an actual diagnostic condition.

"How far Justin Trudeau’s star has fallen. In 2015, the rise of this hopey-changey wunderkind was supposed to usher in a bold new Canadian era: democratic reform, ambitious climate action, a plan to tackle inequality, and a new, respectful relationship with Indigenous peoples. But his Liberal party’s bid for re-election, ahead of the election on Monday, looks altogether different: this campaign is dominated by warnings, in ominous tones, about the threat posed by a resurgent, rightwing Conservative party.

It’s not hard to understand why. Trudeau’s leftwing posturing has been exposed as a sham. His widely hyped tax hike on the richest 1% was actually a giveaway to the next richest 10% of Canadians. His embrace of a carbon tax became a cover for frenzied approval of fossil fuel projects, culminating in his purchase of a C$4.5bn (US$3.45bn) tar sands pipeline. He dispatched heavily armed police to violently dismantle a peaceful blockade of Indigenous land defenders. He made Canada the second largest weapons dealer to the Middle East, arming the Saudi war on Yemen. And he pressured his own justice minister to exempt a well-connected and corrupt engineering giant from a criminal trial. Beholden to powerful vested interests, Trudeau promised big but delivered small.

And so the energy he rode to power has evaporated. Trudeaumania, as one analyst put it, has been replaced by Trudeau-meh-nia. Now that the shine has worn off the Liberals’ formula of fake progressivism, we’re being treated to the party’s perennial fall-back: exhortations to back them “strategically”, lest the Conservatives come to power. Trudeau’s pledge to “do politics differently” has devolved into straightforward moral blackmail.

Of course, it’s true that a government under Conservative leader Andrew Scheer would be a frightening ordeal: C$35bn (US$26.6bn) in spending cuts, tax giveaways to the wealthiest, climate change denialism, and a potential erosion of abortion and LGBTQ rights. But the Liberals’ invocation of this rightwing threat is hardly in good faith. It’s something they have done time and again to muzzle the political imagination of Canada’s progressive majority of voters. Artificially shoring up the idea that the country is stuck between two parties has one main objective: scaring Canadians into settling for the pipeline-buying establishment Liberals."
