Last week I saw a photo of Margaret and Sophie Trudeau that was, in its own way, as offensive as that unfortunate shot of Margaret sitting on the curb in front of Studio 54 in 1979. The old shot basically told Canadians to bugger off, and so did this one… Margaret and Sophie were wearing hijabs.

Macleans magazine made a big deal about Margaret hanging with the Rolling Stones 40 years ago. Keith Richards made it clear she was anything but welcome.

“She was a groupie, that’s all she was, pure and simple. Nothing wrong with that. But you shouldn’t be a prime minister’s wife if you want to be a groupie,” Richards was quoted as saying.

But later on, I understand Margaret recognized she had a problem, which was bi-polar disorder, and took measures to deal with that.

That’s courageous.

During our American election, some quacks tried to diagnose Donald Trump with personality disorders. Ironically, no one but a narcissist would try to slap a diagnosis on someone they had never met.

What is interesting is that they’ve never mentioned something one of my professors taught me: To teach a class, to run a business, to lead a country, one has to have some degree of narcissism and even a bit of sociopathic impulses, since part of those jobs involve you believing that you know more than your subjects and sometimes you’re required to step on somebody’s toes.

I’m qualified as an expert witness, and I generally let diagnoses float until after at least a few sessions, a medical workup, and a family history. That said, statistics indicate that one of the biggest risk factors for bi-polar disorder is a family history of the disorder. Again, I don’t know if Justin Trudeau suffers from it, but when I see him doing something crazy, I wonder. He seems to want a lot of attention, showing off his socks to world leaders. But I am not looking at him as a clinician, just a disappointed Canadian. You can look up the disorder yourself.

Liberal actually comes from the Latin word for freedom, and Justin and his fellow Liberals are so focused on the newcomer immigrants, that to avoid offending their sensibilities he’s willing to deny the fundamental right of free speech to everyone else. If the statistics coming from the UK are comparable, the handouts don’t end – 75 per cent do not get off welfare. So who’s going to pay that?

But I think we have our eyes in the wrong place. Jihadists represent a small percentage of the Muslim population. More prevalent are those like Iqra who come into power and start changing our culture – any “anti-sharia” laws are window dressing as we see in Toronto. When Muslim activists or idiot officials take offense at our culture, sharia creeps in on its own; our kids can’t discuss religion in school, but theirs can have their own prayer area.

Canada needs a leader who cares about Canadians.
