Justin Trudeau is one of the things I've covered so far. Maybe the luckiest politician. When his government is confused by passport, airport, immigration, and military issues, and when faced with allegations that he himself is interfering with a police investigation into the slaughter-there are distracting issues.
On Friday morning, the US Supreme Court's long-anticipated decision to overturn the Roe v. Wade case was announced. In reality, this decision has no meaning to the north of the border. We have different laws, different political systems, and our court system is so different that nothing changes in Canada for this decision.
But it's political money for Trudeau.
"Today is a difficult day," said Trudeau, who responded to an American court decision from Kigali, Rwanda.
He called this decision an attack on freedom and rights. He called it horrible.
"Really, really, be clear. In Canada, we always uphold women's right to choose," Trudeau said.
If you follow Trudeau politically, you know that this has been his position for a long time. This is where he rephrased the news a few weeks ago that the decision had leaked from the US Supreme Court.
Nothing has changed except for Trudeau's opportunity to use the American story for political gain.
He was not asked by reporters after he and Foreign Minister Melanie Jolyy spent six minutes condemning the decision of the American court. He did not comment on the Canadian issue. For example, the routes and waits people are facing to get a passport, as he does on a regular basis.
Journalists tell Trudeau how a police investigation defines "excessive influence", or a handwritten note page first overturned a hearing inquiry in the Nova Scotia massacre I didn't have the ability to ask to explain why I thought. First, include a page showing that Trudeau's office is trying to thwart the investigation.
The timing of the US court announcement was perfect.
He loves to use American news for his own benefit. After years of promising new gun control measures, his government rushed to plan after shootings in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas.

JAY GOLDBERG: Trudeau government wants censorship
His latest gun controls don't make Canadian streets safer, but he Was able to play the hype and sentiment of American news to push his agenda. Currently, he uses the hype and sentiment of another American news article to avoid serious questions about interfering with police investigations.
We know that Trudeau and his government are not the first to feel reluctant to insert themselves into criminal issues that should not be involved. increase. They did it earlier at SNC-Lavalin. It was a corporate case of an unnamed, faceless company, in which case he used the slaughter of 22 people to advance his political goals.
It's not only legally and ethically wrong, it's disgusting and tasteless.
Trudeau supporters would say that this never happened, he denied it, but it isn't. He said he had never pressured the RCMP to release information to support his goal of enacting new gun control, saying there was no "excessive impact or pressure." Stated.
This means that influence and pressure have been applied. He thinks it is acceptable to do so.
Trudeau hopes to forget his problem and move on by talking about the American court's ruling on abortion. He can't make it happen.
