I love her still, and I\u2019m glad that her mom\u2019s in the room to hear me say this, but look. I was OK with Orlando Bloom, but Justin Trudeau? Come on, man! Don\u2019t put me in a category with that guy! That globalist stooge,\u201d Brand said.<\/p>\n Brand\u2019s assessment has racked up millions of views on social media with one viewer quipping: \u201cOrlando gets the pass for being a pirate elf, but Justin?

In 2022, Brand joined a chorus that included Elon Musk, Rob Schneider<\/a> and Evangeline Lilly<\/a> when he spoke out in support of the truckers driving cross-country to protest the vaccine mandate.<\/p>\n In a 14-minute YouTube video called \u201cTruckers Convoy: Why The Mainstream Media Blackout?!<\/a>\u201d, Brand questioned how truckers who would not take the COVID-19 vaccine became \u201cloathed if they won\u2019t participate and capitulate according to the wills of the powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is precisely what people need to do. You have to work out what your objectives are, work out how you\u2019re going to pursue it, make sure you\u2019re ideologically sound and that your conduct is fair,\u201d he said about the convoy. \u201cWe\u2019re dealing with a pretty nefarious machine that will say anything to shut down opposition to its intentions.\u201d <\/p>\n Advertisement 5<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n In another video posted to his YouTube channel in 2022<\/a>, Brand accused Trudeau of being an authoritarian and a hypocrite for his reaction to the Freedom Convoy that descended on Ottawa that year and his criticism to Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I\u2019m saying is, if the reason that this war is wrong, or one of the reasons, is because it is against democratic principals, then you must ensure where it is possible, where there is no militarized state opposing your ability to be democratic, you should be democratic, otherwise you do not have the same argument,\u201d Brand said.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can criticize Russia for many, many reasons, you can condemn the actions of Russia, quite rightly, for many reasons. What you can\u2019t do is claim to be an exemplar of democracy if whenever you get the opportunity to be tyrannical, you take it.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement 6<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Advertisement 7<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n When Trudeau announced his resignation earlier this year, Brand tweeted a video clip of the prime minister addressing reporters, writing, \u201cIT HAPPENED!
