They are setting him up to be a strawman.
He's going to do everything possible to destroy Canada and even probably get the liberal base to turn against him.
Once he is sufficiently tarnished, all the elite will turn on him and burn him in effigy.
This is their only effort to reestablish themselves as the "supporters of the working man."
Canada is screwed either way, but election season is coming up in the US, and they can use the boogeyman Trudeau to their benefit.
Look at it right now. They are setting him up to be a sacrifice.
They doublespeak and will say things like:
"I am not Trudeau. I disagree with his approach. I fully support protest demonstrations against patriarchies such as his."
"Trudeau was pretending to be progressive. He's just a racist conservative in disguise. Look at his black-face photos! Only racist conservatives would turn the police against their own people! Defund the police!"
"The science now tells us mandates aren't as effective as we first thought. Trudeau is anti-science, but I will continue to follow the science as I have always done."
This will theoretically provide a landscape to implement, once again, BLM and ANTIFA insurgents rioting and destroying cities as they did in 2020.
They will gladly throw back in our face the current counter-narrative conservatives have taken with "support peaceful protesting!" and conflate their version of "peaceful" with actually peaceful protests, as they have done all along, and they will continue to claim what is happening in Canada and happened on Jan 6th are far more violent than what happened in 2020 and will take place again this Summer.
This is my forecast. The plan above is their only play I can see from our perspective to even remotely cool the tensions down before the 2022 Election. They've failed the strong-arm approach, so now they have to pretend to be moderate if only just to ensure we don't drag them out of their mansions by their intestines before they can kill enough people off with the shot to destabilize global commerce and slink away into their hell-pits.
It won't work, but expect them to shift to this narrative nonetheless.
Thoughts?
Interesting post, sleepydude. Reminds me of Bill DeBlasio in New York. By the time he left, and even in that liberal cesspool, no one would admit they voted for him.
