Trudeau is terrified by the fact that populism is taking root in Canada and giving ordinary people a voice.

He ignores the fact that he and the Liberals have driven Canada into the gutter. Populism is only a reaction to our elites who have lost the plot.
It's funny that a guy who has spent the last 7 years race-baiting, dividing Canadians and evading parliamentary procedure to get what he wants is accusing a grassroots working-class movement of trying to exploit people. Trudeau is a case study on projection.
Liberals always try to portray themselves as the protectors of "democracy" when in reality they are the manipulators of democracy. If you haven't noticed, things have actually gotten less democratic in the last century due to the influence of powerful wealthy oligarchs.
In Canada, elites have ignored most of the country to cater to their own Laurentian concerns to the detriment of other regions. It's no surprise that people are turning to a political movement that offers to give them a voice and it's no surprise Trudeau is threatened by that.
A political divide between the people and the elites has existed since time immemorial and it flares up when the ruling class loses the moral authority to govern – a time such as now. It's quite simple, people feel as though their representatives are not in fact representing them
Populism is the most simple and natural form of politics because it correctly identifies the broad class distinction that people experience in their ordinary lives. It's also why it's so effective: because it's impossible to deny such a divide doesn't exist.
Also of course populism is "cynical" in nature. Are people supposed to be happy they're paying over $1.70 a litre at the pump while him and his cronies jet-set all over Europe on the taxpayer's dime every month?

MEP @CristianTerhes has put out a statement after refusing to attend @JustinTrudeau's EU speech today

In the statement, Terheș blasts Trudeau for having horses trample protestors during the Freedom Convoy crackdown

I've translated it and will tweet relevant parts below

THREAD ImageImage
"I refused to validate by my presence the facade of the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who gave a speech before the Plenary of the European Parliament on 23.03.2022, it was the reason for which I was not in the room when he spoke."
"You can't come and teach democracy lessons to Putin from the European Parliament when you trample with horse hooves your own citizens who are demanding that their fundamental rights be respected."

This is glorious. God bless Croatians. Every trip to Europe PM @JustinTrudeau is being called out for quashing peaceful protestors in Canada. This time right to his face. That must have stung.
@JustinTrudeau This isn't the first time that Trudeau was called out for quashing peaceful protestors in Canada by EU politicians.

Most recently, Finnish politician @LauraHuhtasaari demanded the EU clarify where it stands on Trudeau's actions.

@JustinTrudeau @LauraHuhtasaari Romanian MEP @CristianTerhes also likened Trudeau to a "tyrant" and a "dictator" during a speech in Brussels in February also in reaction to his use of the Emergencies Act.

If the right wants to survive and make gains, it needs to embrace a defensive siege strategy.

No matter how you square it, the fact remains that the left has achieved dominance in a number of cultural/political/academic arenas and is gaining even more territory daily.
The first step to surviving an ideological siege is mental endurance. You have to be willing to accept losses and to be in it for the laung haul. There is only one option in the mind of the besieged: outlasting the enemy.
The second step is almost as important as the first and its logistics. Applied to the current situation, that means supply lines of human and financial resources. Networking, organizing and fundraising are key to defeating the progressivist supremacy.
