Canada experienced the same mass hypnosis 40 years ago by electing a French Canadian. French Canadians were regarded as an opressed minority at that time.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau, 1968: An inexperienced politician, of very little political and military acccomplishments also of a mixed mariage ( English and French ).

Spoke well, looked presentable, connected well with the public and also spoke in generalities about the future potential of Canada.

When in office, Trudeau accomplished nothing, reacted to the events affecting the country, the world and changing moraes of the times.

Trudeau never showed any empathy towards Israel ( and never spoke about his past of being a Nazi lover in the 1930s) , applauded Fidel Castro and the two became good friends, introduced anti-capitalist legislation ( pre-Trudeau, capital gains were not taxable), introduced expensive socialist programs, imposed multi-culturalism on the country, imposed legislation placing French on an equal footing as English ( French speakers today represent barely 20% of the country and their numbers are going down), introduced socialized medicine which is killing us, etc..

AMERICA BEWARE.
