Aren’t you glad that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is looking after you? His father, the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, used to have a persona during federal election campaigns that media pundits dubbed “the gunslinger.” He would shove his thumbs into his pants pockets and show compelling contempt for his political adversaries. Canadians ate it up for some reason and certainly that helped him get elected in 1974, against the seemingly inept Progressive Conservative leader Robert Stanfield. .Well, Justin Trudeau has gone one better and he’s not just a gunslinger but the guy who orders UFOs shot down from the skies. .Listen to him crow on Twitter: .“I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. ."@NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object.” .I’m sure he was reliving that moment in the parlance of a politician who often seems to be suffering from arrested development. “Dude, I shot down a UFO!” .I’m surprised Trudeau was even aware that Canada belonged to something called NORAD and that it had jet fighters at its disposal to shoot down anything invading North American airspace. .If so, he’s better informed than White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre who declared in a Sunday interview that NORAD is like, you know, a kind of “coalition” and some country called “Canadia” is a member of it along with the U.S. .Canadia!? You wouldn’t even expect this kind of ruinous incompetence from a second-lieutenant public affairs officer but it is both comical and tragic to see in an office so close to the U.S. presidency. .But Trudeau clearly enjoyed his moment of seeming strength. Why it was just like the plots of those sci-fi shows he enjoys bingeing on. Remember how he told us how he spends his leisure time reading Stephen King novels and binge watching television shows like The Boys, a ridiculous series about vigilantes knocking off corrupt superheroes? .This was a weekend unlike many others. .Three “unidentified objects” were shot down by United States Air Force fighter jets. One over Alaska, a second over Canada’s Yukon territory, the other over Lake Huron. Let’s not forget the Chinese spy balloon that was shot down over South Carolina the weekend before, and which was detailed in the Western Standard. .We still haven’t had a final or definite description as to what these objects are: I’ve heard cylinders, balloons, and UFOs. .But this all serves as a nice distraction for Trudeau, as much as it does for Biden. Biden does not want to address any more questions about allegations he ordered the bombing of the Nord Stream II pipelines and the persistent investigations into classified documents found in his home, with some allegedly dating back to when he was a junior senator from Delaware. .If these latest airspace incursions were of Chinese origin, it must give Trudeau some sense of satisfaction, since he is loath to confront China is any other meaningful way. .Remember Trudeau fled to the men’s room after getting a browbeating from Chinese dictator Xi Jinping at the Bali G-20 summit? That was just after he refused to call the Chinese murder of the Uyghurs a genocide..There continued to be unanswered questions about China possibly financing federal candidates in the GTA and Trudeau was briefed about this but refused to say so publicly. A story Monday states that CSIS told Trudeau that at least one candidate had ties to China. .Is it worth recalling that China is the country that Trudeau most admires? Not only can they turn their economy around on a dime and eradicate undesirable human beings: Apparently they can send all kinds of unidentified objects over North America.
