Great White Authoritarian

Justin Trudeau is worried about democracy, or something:

When asked about the election results, Trudeau, who once told an audience he envied China’s “basic dictatorship” because of how fast they could enact change, said he saw the democratic outcomes as problems to be solved. “We have seen around the world a rise of populist right-wing forces in just about every democracy that we’ve seen, and it is of concern to see political parties choosing to instrumentalize anger, fear, division, anxiety,” Trudeau said. He continued, “My approach has always been to respond to it, to understand it and to look to solve it, to roll up our sleeves, work hard and with ambition for this country and for our future. And I continue to be convinced that Canadians are thoughtful about the challenges we’re facing and ready to see them solved rather than just allow themselves to be have their anger amplified without any solutions offered.”

Darn those voters...
