Narcissus's Fruitless & Unhappy End

In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a handsome youth who one day happened to see his own reflection in a pool of water and fell in love with himself. Naturally the relationship produced nothing. Unable to pull himself away from the pool, Narcissus eventually died of thirst and starvation.

Since becoming prime minister in 2015, Trudeau has embraced trendy globalist policies such as a carbon tax, mass immigration to Canada, and a COVID-19 vaccine mandate. When Canadian truckers protested the mandate in Ottawa in 2022, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act and froze their bank accounts.
