I really think that Trudeau is just an idiot who has been told his whole life that he's special, and is just sure as can be that he's right and these yokels just need to be brought to heel and they'll come around. He's kind of a classic participation trophy narcissist.
But if his party were
trying to goad folks into violence as an excuse, this would be a pretty good way. Take away everything a person has, make it so they can't feed their family, then
threaten to jail start jailing them is a good way to make people think they have nothing to lose.
