It's so obvious predictable and tired. And people are starting to see right through it (although CP politics is decidedly not seeing through it yet).
Then he doubled down.
This is completely consistent for Trudeau who has never had the intention of governing for the whole population. Rather he prefers to simply pander to his ideological and geographic base.
This while episode highlights the dysfunction in Canada's version of democracy and our lack of a cohesion.

Doubled down on the playbook? That is exactly what is happening. That is exactly what got us here - right wingers refusal to accept science and instead make up their own brand of bull####. What do you expect him to do? Acknowledge that COVID isn't real, and the vaccine is some sorta government control serum run on 5G towers?
Panders to his ideological and geographic base? Have you met the PPC? They are literally selling swag at the protest site in Ottawa.
Democracy? You're going to preach about democracy when protestors literally want to over throw our government because they can't go to The Keg.
