Liberals GIGO ‘Trudeau, the Licking Post’



The image having sealed a message that was indelible, Canadian Liberals called back their cardboard cutouts of ‘ain’t-he-handsome’ Justin Trudeau from being used for hundreds of “diplomatic events”. “The government of Canada has spent a lot of money on cardboard cutouts of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, so that fans of Canada across the world can experience a moment with their magical and hunky leader.” (HeatStreet, March 22, 2017)
“But because some of those experiences turned into “inappropriate photos,” the government is now recalling their army of faux Trudeaus and asking Canadian embassies to discontinue the practice.”
Mission over, folks, the job of manufacturing ‘Our PM the hunk’ is done. And get a load of this:
“We are aware of instances where our missions in the United States had decided to purchase and use these cut-outs,” department spokesperson Michael O’Shaughnessy told Canada’s state news network. “The missions have been asked to no longer use these for their events.” (HeatStreet) “According to emails, made public by Canada’s conservative party, cardboard Trudeaus have appeared all over the world, including at the United States’ Canadian embassy (at its Canada Day party) and recently at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. Each Trudeau costs the government around $150 (next day shipping included).”
Sorry South by Southwest but it’s got to be a sad shindig if you need a cardboard cutout of Justin Trudeau to bring folk out.

If you can believe the Liberals (a dangerous practice) the idea supposedly began with a single embassy official who thought it would be “a hoot”.
“The practice began with an embassy official who thought it would be a “hoot” for Americans to take “selfies” with the PM. (HeatStreet) “I think this will be a hoot and extremely popular and go well with our Snapchat filter,” the official said in the now-public email, adding that the cutout would generate “some serious selfie action.” “Those selfies turned out to be more than the Canadian government bargained for, as party attendees took photos of themselves kissing, licking and otherwise assaulting Trudeau’s paper doppelganger (pictures from Twitter, accounts removed to protect the innocent Trudeau fanatics). Fear not, though, Trudeau selfie-seekers: The actual Canadian Prime Minister is known for being very open to taking photos with his many fans. Often shirtless.”

M-103 is a move destined to one day prove that Canadians are not susceptible to Islam—Phobia but to Trudeau-Phobia

Proof that it wasn’t a single embassy official but the Liberal Party of Canada behind the Trudeau cardboard, mailed out cutout is that giving cutout doll images to their PMs is what the Liberals do. Take former PM Paul Martin, who having won the job courtesy of a convention rather than an election, started out in political life as his imaginary friend, “Flat Mark”. “Bland in all of his blandishments, Martin always sounded as if he’d been vaccinated by United Nations proclamations. “Canada is a multicultural state” is his oft-repeated mantra.” (Canada Free Press, Jan. 20, 2005) Martin, hopelessly boring but twice as intelligent as Justin, needed a hitch in his gitalong, and got it from ‘Flat Mark’.
“Flat Mark is the cut-out paper doll, sent to the PMO in Ottawa by the Grade 4 students of Fenside Public School as part of a literacy and civics project. Flat Mark escorted Martin around Ottawa in the days leading up to the transition of government last December.” (Canada Free Press)
If you believe that it was Grade 4 students and not the Liberals who came up with Martin’s paper doll, you likely also believe that Barack Obama is not out to sabotage President Donald Trump. If only Justin Trudeau had remained a harmless pictorial licking post. But yesterday, his government passed into law Motion 103, which will go on to ban an ‘Islamophobia’, the government lacks the courage to define. And M-103 went down, one day after the horrific terrorist attack at British Parliament. The only light in the tunnel is that M-103 is a move destined to one day prove that Canadians are not susceptible to Islam—Phobia but to Trudeau-Phobia.
