If Trudeau loses next week, I sincerely hope it marks the beginning of the end for wokeness

Commander-in-Chief of Woke Justin Trudeau could be removed as prime minister when Canadians go to the polls on Monday. And there would be few tears from me for a man who has taken political correctness to a laughable new level.

The funny thing is, Trudeau has brought his potential downfall on himself. He called the snap election last month, when he did not have to do so. Canadians were not due to go to the polls until 2023, but he thought that he could catch his opponents off guard and ride to victory.

However, polls show that Trudeau is nowhere near gaining the support he needs for an overall majority, and it is becoming clear that his gamble has failed. Trudeau has thrown his own career and his party into a needless tailspin, and it looks as if he could pay the ultimate political price.

I must say that I have to laugh, because with the possible exception of New Zealand’s PM, Jacinda Ardern, Trudeau must be the wokest leader on the planet. Indeed, I actually think that he revels in his own wokeness and enjoys being provocative.

I often hear wokeness being described as just having good manners and not wanting to offend people, and it might have started out that way. But as with everything, it always gets taken too far and ends up being used for more sinister purposes.

Woke is now being deployed by people like Trudeau to alter language, and in some cases, cancel people who have not signed up to the new ideology. But, in the end, it generally just gets on most people’s nerves.

And there can be no doubt that when it comes to world leaders, Trudeau is the commander-in-chief of woke. There are plenty of examples of his silly wokeness, and I’ll give you two examples that made me laugh.

In 2018, Trudeau told a woman not to refer to “mankind,” but instead to use “peoplekind,” because “it’s more inclusive.” He later claimed it was a joke, but the reality is that he got carried away with his own politically correct waffle. And earlier this year, Trudeau could not even bring himself to wish Canadians a happy Easter – no doubt afraid that any reference to the Christian holiday would offend non-Christians and non-believers. Instead he wished everyone a happy “long weekend,” to widespread derision.

Anyway, back to the election. Trudeau has been in power since 2015, and his popularity has been on the wane pretty much ever since. In 2019, his party lost its majority and he only hung on as PM after forming a minority government. Trudeau suffered a harrowing campaign back then, when it emerged that he had a penchant for ‘blackface’ at fancy dress parties.
