Has Pierre Trudeau Transitioned To A Hated Figure Among Canadians?

“History is written by the winners.” Within Canadian society, one can argue that history is written by establishment media.

An oft-quoted aphorism tells us that “history is written by the winners.” Within Canadian society, one can argue that history is written by establishment media.

A look at the legacy of ex-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau exemplifies such a condition. Canadian-born citizens will surely recall a time when veneration for Mr. Trudeau was a social standard.

In 2021, it is difficult to make this claim. It is not a case of Canada’s prototype globalist being dragged through prairie mud toward this destination. Our media do not indulge in this kind of thing. Rather, they simply stop talking about a particular subject.

Thus it is that over time perception of historical leaders can morph away from original circumstances. An airport in Montreal may still be named after the founder of multiculturalism, yet beyond this lies little glorification.

A thought on why this might be the case— it takes time to gain objectivity toward the legacy of state leaders. In the 1960’s, Pierre Trudeau was feted as a form of anti-politician. In terms of public image, the man appeared reluctant to take on the task.

Thus began a three-term run of Canada’s maverick prime minister. Dashing about with Barbara Streisand on his arm, PET cut a dynamic figure. So much so that most Canadians forgot about his policy-making.

For all his so-called intellectual flair, Mr. Trudeau’s political decisions come across as self-centred, egoistic and poorly thought-out. Nothing exemplifies this idea more than his implementation of Multiculturalism. Yes, indeed– it is the debate that never was.

For fifty years, its condition has remained sacrosanct. No one knows why, because the policy has never been scrutinized. No Canadian voted for multiculturalism. No approval came from the public– we were never consulted.

Let us place this in context. Apart from immigration, Multiculturalism is the most transformative social policy in Canadian history. Yet, the amount of media and academic speculation on its entrenchment could fit on the head of a pin.

We interject with a simple question: did Pierre Trudeau know what he was doing? Did the man have foresight to comprehend the policy’s long-term impact? Was he in favour of an eventual shift in Canada’s power-structure that would inevitably result?

Trudeau’s institutionalized “diversity” agenda served as step one in a combination punch to Canada. His left hook was PET’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Multiculturalism delivered the policy. The Charter unleashed the legality. The table was being set for the inevitable– a power struggle between Old Stock and “racialized” citizens of Canada.

Let us be clear– it was not a set-up for confrontation in the streets. To this day, only a handful of punches have been thrown on this basis. WSW don’t expect it to reach a point of violence in the streets– nor do we support such a thing.

Rather, the battle comes in back-room political hustle for an accumulation of political power. If observers care to notice, diversity is wholly exclusive. “Old Stock” citizens– Anglophones, Christians— have no place in the movement. As immigration continues to transform our demography, this factor becomes critical.

Commentary from government? Nothing. Ponderings from media? Zero. Academia’s applied intellectualism? Not a word. What we have at hand is a silent revolution– the catalyst being Pierre Trudeau’s unilateral, non-democratic policy making.

Today, Canadians find themselves at the 50th year anniversary of multiculturalism(1971-2021). Notice anything missing? There is no celebration of the occasion whatsoever. Why is this? Can it be that the policy is far less popular than government and media project it to be?

Let us take a step beyond. Not only is Pierre Trudeau’s policy-making unpopular– the man himself is disliked. Public perception of his legacy has transitioned away from any form of glorification.

Will it be deja-vu time all over again? Could the very same occur for current PM Justin Trudeau? Absolutely. The pattern is quite certain to repeat. If Trudeau Jr. ever ceases playing pseudo-dictator, his future is mapped out for him.

Media will colour his early retirement years with typical accolades– all of it being a falsehood. Yet, over the decades, he reputation is bound to digress into the same condition as that of Papa Pierre.

The two are cut from the same cloth. Media have spent the past six-plus years covering up their political synergy. Socialism, massive fiscal debt, an inordinate amount of time and money dedicated to an improvement for foreign nations.

Thus, the day of reckoning is bound to arrive. The Trudeau family will get what they so dearly deserve:

A legacy of internationalizing Canada in name of woke liberalism to the detriment of the Canadian-born.
