Italian PM Meloni slams Trudeau’s pro-LGBT account of meeting as ‘fake news’

Meloni blasted the woke Canadian PM for criticizing Italy’s conservative positions on LGBT issues under her leadership.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has turned Canada into an international “canary in the coal mine” cautionary tale in less than a decade, with his international virtue-signalling – frequently accompanied by full costume – turning the country into a laughing stock amongst more serious nations. Canada’s fixation with abortion, euthanasia, and the LGBT agenda at home and abroad has come to define our approach to international relations – and worse, Trudeau frequently takes the opportunity to berate other world leaders for holding different positions.

While he has attacked the Conservative Party for appearing insufficiently enthusiastic during portions of President Joe Biden’s parliamentary address recently, Trudeau appeared to forget that he had made use of Vice President Mike Pence’s visit in 2019 to express his concern over American “backsliding on the abortion issue.” Last year, he also took the extraordinary step of weighing in on a judicial decision of another nation, calling the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade “horrific” and stating that “my heart goes out to the millions of American women… I can’t imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now.”

Trudeau once again took on the role of progressive heckler in a recent meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Unsurprisingly, Trudeau wasn’t happy with Meloni, who stated her support for socially conservative values in no uncertain terms in a speech that went viral last year: “Yes to natural families, no to the LGBT lobby, yes to sexual identity, no to gender ideology, yes to the culture of life, no to the abyss of death.” She ends by quoting G.K. Chesterton: “Chesterton wrote more than a century ago: ‘Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.’ That time has arrived. We are ready. Thank you.”
