> IMHO, it seems more about Canada's skyrocketing deficit and debt with a quip that even Hitler had to contend with a budget (in general, not specifically to conduct the Holocaust) whereas Trudeau seems not to.

Few things to unwrap here. First, Hitler didn't contend with a budget - his country invaded, annexed, pillaged, stole, used slave labour at will to prop up their coffers. And the economy was already in a death spiral by the time of 1939 due to excessive spending on rearmament and vanity projects resulting in skyrocketing deficits.

Second, the way i interpret the "joke" is that Trudeau is compared to Hitler on their actions ( tyrannical actions). Many people have this crazy notion that being forced to get a vaccine is absolutely the same as the persecutions Jewish people faced in Nazi Germany, hence the Holocaust reference, because this "joke" isn't in a vacuum.
