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.

I thought of Narcissus’s fruitless and unhappy end when I saw the news that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation today. 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.

Copied from a post in SDA and bang on.
Canada has been sleeping on America’s couch, drinking its beer, driving its car, and has been on a generous allowance from the American Taxpayer for generations. Daddy Trump kicked you out of the house like a 40 year old teenager, but alas offered you a plum profitable position in Daddy Trump’s company. Canada the insolent ignorant spoiled 40 year old teenager told Daddy Trump to take off because he wanted you to sign an employment contract and treat you like a responsible adult. So to you I say, grow up and take responsibility for your own actions and inactions.
