Alternative for Germany (AFG) Member of European Parliament Christine Anderson said she has spoken with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.."He seems like a decent guy," said Anderson at a Sunday press conference. .“We need people that actually do, think, and go back to what democracy is all about and what elected representatives should do,” .Anderson said this responsibility is to be elected by the people and represent and act on their best interests..She said it seems many politicians have forgotten or ignored people’s best interests. She added this is “something that the people need to change.” .The AFG MEP went on to say people have to remind their elected representatives what their job is. If politicians do not live up to that expectation, she said they should not be voted in again. .Anderson said it is refreshing to see new parties forming and unconventional people being elected. She offered Alberta Premier Danielle Smith as an example. .She said she is excited to see what is happening in western democracies. The old parties which want to belong to the elites are under pressure right now. .Anderson continued by saying Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should think long and hard before enacting the Emergencies Act again. The Public Order Emergency Commission said Trudeau invoking it was fine, which will a set a precedent for other western democracies. .She asked if people who protest or oppose government measures will have the Emergencies Act used on them in the future. Actions such as this happen in dictatorships, not democracies. .Anderson said she does not know why people do not see their freedoms being stripped away from them. Once they are gone, she said people will never have them back except if they fight for them. .She concluded by calling Trudeau “a sorry excuse for a world leader.” .“And he should work on his acting skills because they suck,” she said. .Anderson confirmed on January 23 she will be going on a cross-Canada tour to speak to people. .READ MORE: European politician who supported Rolling Thunder to tour Canada.The tour started off with Anderson doing a live onstage event at the Southside Victory Church in Calgary on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Four-fifths of tickets for the event had sold out as of January 25. .She held a cocktail dinner at the Calgary Petroleum Club on Saturday from 6 to 10 p.m. Three-fifths of tickets for the event had been sold as of January 25. .Anderson said in April she will be watching with excitement from afar when Rolling Thunder rolled into Ottawa. .READ MORE: SLOBODIAN: European parliamentarian praises bikers, heaps scorn on Trudeau.“I support citizens standing up to governments that basically want to undermine democracy to abolish it because that is what’s happening,” she said. .“I’ve always been very clear about advocating individual freedom, democracy, and the rule of law.”
