He is a good example of why I find what society as a whole deems "manly" regarding "proper" masculine tendencies is not an accurate measure of a man/person.

Trudeau and his inner circle have often acted and said the same things hitler’s circle of death uttered. We have maid in Canada (dr, killing people with their consent), funny the first thing hitler did after getting the media on board he got his inner circle to bring in the medical system as nurses are bread to obey, they started euthanasia of anyone with any disabilities, that weren’t of Arian perfect health, elderly, gays/lesbians, and the methods they used even on infants was gassing, hypothermia wrapped infants in wet blankets put outside at night and winter, overdose of pain meds and insulin, suffocation. Then hitler got the education on board as again they obey and raised a whole generation of hitler youth.

      I know a young lady who traveled to Haiti as part of a Christian mission after one of the major quakes.
      I was obviously very concerned for her safety, but I didn't want to let my fears limit her potential.
      She said the most surprising part was the children. They didn't mind that their shoes didn't match, they were very happy they had two. She said these children lived in abject poverty, but they always greeted the missionaries with the biggest smiles. They were genuinely happy.
      Then she landed back in the United States where our children struggle with sadness and depression, yet have the best of everything.

    Here in south Florida we have many Haitian and Haitian descent residents. They’re always such a pleasure to be around, friendly, and hard working. Thank you so much for this series, it’s really helped me understand a lot of the commentary I’ve heard from them over the years about the situation in Haiti. The country is not very far from us, but the realities of these places rarely get covered in the news. On another note, please visit Cuba. The situation there now is crazy and there are more migrant boats and rafts showing up here in Florida than any time since the mariel boat lift in 1980. The Cuban residents need your exposure, we don’t see anything of their struggle as it’s so buried and cloaked by the powers that be. It would be a dangerous mission but possible, as I don’t believe you’re traveling on a US passport. Thanks for all you do Nick, truly fascinating work that adds so much value to the world’s stage. Cheers!

      Now if you wanna hold a grudge over something that happened over 200 years ago then we would have bring up the more recent genocides and massacres that your country (the USA) has done against black people. If you don't have a problem with those you shouldn't have a problem with what happened in 1804.
