Now that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has authorized the Canadian government’s use of the Emergencies Act, giving the government much broader powers to deal with anti-vaccine mandate protests in his country, it might be useful to recall that in 2013, asked what country he most admired besides Canada, he selected communist China, even while admitting they had a “basic dictatorship.”

When Trudeau was asked during a “Ladies’ Night” Liberal fundraiser what country he most admired besides Canada, he answered, “There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime and say, ‘We need to go green, we want to start investing in solar.’”

Then Trudeau mocked Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, continuing, “There is a flexibility that I know Stephen Harper must dream about of having a dictatorship that he can do everything he wanted that I find quite interesting.”
