justin trudeau is ideologically attached to the idea of canada as a consumer of products purchased elsewhere in the world, rather than as a producer of goods. in terms of canadian production, he's only ever indicated any interested in the automobile sector, which includes oil. that's canada, apparently, in the mind of trudeau - a country that builds cars and imports everything else.

so, it's less that he's this rank, globalist elitist - although that's true - and more that he's legitimately ideologically wed to this concept of canada as a link in a set of supply chains, in a global economy dominated by "free trade". i put free trade in quotes, because it's the kind of concept of free trade that you sell naive, dumb union workers in order to advance a mercantilist global order that places investors at the top of the hierarchy. worse, his deeply racist concept of the world inverts to reject anybody that challenges this mercantilist order as 'racist'. he comes from the highest aristocracy that this country has, but he's really a true believer, in ways that are supposed to be reserved for the ruled rather than the rulers. and, you can see this in his life decisions - this is a person born with millions in trust fund dollars, that thought it was necessary to get jobs working as a ski instructor, or a high school teacher. if you had millions in the bank, would you get a job as a ski instructor? 

it says something about the way the guy thinks; he seems to believe the lies that were written for the masses to facilitate the ruling classes to rule with, from the fake free trade mythology to his apparent embrace of multiple world religions, rather than interact with and understand theory from the perspective of a dauphin. if machiavelli were grading our dauphin, he would fail him, indeed - he does not act like a prince ought to, but only has the capacity to understand things the way a slave does.

this is of course the kind of figurehead ruler that the elite wants. but, it doesn't help the rest of us to be dealing with this guy that consistently comes off as a brainwashed agent in an inspector gadget episode. "uh, ok boss."

so, when everybody from every corner of the country yelled at him that he has to ensure local production of the vaccine, if we can, his insistence (via his captured, elitist ministers - that he seems to think he's giving a helping hand to, because they're brown. it's better to give the coloured folks a hand up than a hand out.) to rely on supply chains was rooted in an ideology that was constructed inside of him by the ruling elite, and not on any evidence - and he believed in it, just like all these other low information idiots are tricked into believing it, with the same propaganda intended for the dumbest workers around us. 

the collapse of these supply chains in the building of the virus - which he should have seen with the end of the sinovac deal months ago, at the least. - and the flip-flop in policy towards domestic production, only after we've bought millions of doses from companies that will not or cannot deliver, is consequently a legitimate governing mistake, and a reason to remove this government from office. obviously, you need to produce as much vaccine as you can, and the rest of the world is right to see canada as a laggard for deciding to just let everybody else do the work and buy it from them, in the end.

this is legitimate incompetence and there ought to be electoral consequences for it.
