Canada has become a laughing stock as a result of Justin Trudeau. I think he'll be remembered as a

0:15.1

clown and as an authoritarian. He turned out to be the most unpopular prime minister in Canadian history.

0:24.4

He's a true authoritarian and he doesn't want Canadian citizens to be allowed to criticize him.

0:32.5

I don't think he supports democracy.

0:35.6

I think that, again, he's protecting his ego.

Hello, welcome back to the Brendan O'Neill show with me, Brendan O'Neill, and my special guest

0:47.2

this week, Megan, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me back. It's great to be here

0:53.4

again. It's great to have you on. It's always great to have you on, but especially this week because big things are happening in your country of birth, no longer the country where you live, but your country of birth, Canada, where Justin Trudeau has resigned and it's making headlines around the world.

1:38.4

How are you feeling this week with him leaving office and the end of his tenor finally arriving?

1:45.2

Yeah, as you pointed out, I'm not exactly the queen of subtleties.

1:51.1

My piece was quite clear, and I've been pretty clear on my views of Justin Trudeau over

1:56.8

the years, which are negative, to say the least.

2:00.3

I wish that I was celebrating, but what he's done is so manipulative and so really in kind

2:10.4

with his behavior and actions over the past, I don't know, four or five years, that we shouldn't be surprised,

2:19.9

but it's like, it's a thing that I wish I didn't have to clarify, but he hasn't resigned.

2:26.6

And his little speech on Monday, he says he intends to resign.

2:32.8

He's very good at manipulation.
