Your previous post you said you weren't picking on Harper and the Conservatives but in both posts now that is exactly what you're doing. The Conservatives no longer govern so the debate is about the Liberal Governments cabinet doesn't really need to be a constant comparison with you does it?

 

We get it you hate the Conservatives, but move on they don't govern anymore hippy.

i'm as right wing as they come, but the conservatives in canada are racist bigot sellouts who made canada the international bankster's bitch.

 

ANYTHING is better than that bunch of unpatriotic nation-dismantlers.

What does that Nylander CRAP have to do with Canadian politics.  We have JM, who is looking to be better than Nylander, and a young power forward in JV.  We win!

as for politics, which is the intent of this thread: it makes no difference who the party in power is!

That is absolutely, without a doubt, clearly, patently false.

Wonder when the refugees will land in Winnipeg. Would it be at the normal international airport?

 

Wouldn't mind going around when they land and hand out a few of my old winter coats and gear.

I hear you.

 

i would love to have the opportunity to hands on help these people.  Donations are great and all but the human connection would be fantastic. I have my own family to take care of, but if things were different right now in that regard I'd be in some camp somewhere helping and taking happy snaps in a Canucks sweater.

 

no fear people!

LONDON—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has used an interview with an influential BBC current affairs show in London to issue his most pungent retort yet to his Canadian detractors.

Trudeau, 43, endured more than two years of Conservative party attack ads declaring him “just not ready” before sweeping prime minister Stephen Harper from power in last month’s federal election.

Asked by BBC television’s NewsNight program about his famous family name, Trudeau didn’t deny that having had his father Pierre Trudeau lead the country for almost 16 years opened some doors.

“I think the way I was raised was that I have to work two or three times as hard as anyone else to walk through that door now that it’s open,” he said.

Trudeau then delivered a sharp retort that could be seen as a direct shot at Harper and other Conservative partisans.

“There’s an awful lot of people who sort of shrugged and said he has nothing but a name to go on and found themselves slightly bewildered as I left them in the dust,” said the prime minister.

 

Trudeau also had sharp words for what he described as people running as anti-politicians, citing U.S. Republican party presidential hopeful Donald Trump and “our own Rob Ford in Toronto.”

Trudeau told the BBC that this year’s federal election campaign showed the momentary appeal of divisive policy stances.

“But when you get right down to it, when citizens take a long hard look in the ballot box at actually voting against your neighbours, against someone who’s different from you — in pluralistic societies like we have it becomes very difficult to sustain the hatred or the fear of the shopkeeper down the street or your colleague two cubicles over,” said Trudeau.

The interview aired on BBC’s flagship nightly current affairs show on the day the British government brought down its fall economic update, guaranteeing a large and influential audience.

Using an international audience to score domestic political points is routinely denounced by federal politicians of all stripes. The Conservatives often accused their critics of “trash talking” Canada while abroad, although Harper wasn’t afraid to dish up some sharp partisan commentary of his own when overseas.

At a G8 summit in Italy in 2009, Harper apologized after using the closing news conference to rip then-Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff for a quote that actually came from someone else.

Trudeau left London for a Commonwealth summit in Malta on Thursday after having an audience with Queen Elizabeth and a sit-down with British Prime Minister David Cameron the previous day.

His week-long international trip wraps up at the UN COP21 climate conference Monday in Paris.

For the most part I'm over the Librals winning but I just hate that our PM appears to have no spine or bawlz.

Could you imagine him trying to stand up to a guy like Putin or even Obama?

He just doesn't have that authoritative persona.

Don't you get it? International politics is entirely based on who can kick whose ass in a fight. Nothing to do with diplomacy, tact, nuance. No. A leader must be strong and scary.

Conservatives would cream themselves over an opportunity to vote for a Putin-type leader. Harper's authority went a loooooong way with Putin. He looked him straight in the eye, and that's why Putin is no longer in Ukraine. Oh wait...

At least our leader doesn't have to wear 5" platform shoes and use movie magic just to look authoritative.

Generalizing a bit?

Btw Mckenzie King was a Liberal and he sent 1.1 million troops to war. Obama is a socialist along with Hollande and Blair and all 3 of those men seem to enjoy attacking other nations.

Just because I'm a conservative doesn't mean I would "cream myself for a Putin type leader" and again the far lefty Obama has killed far more people in war then Putin.

Obama a socialist far leftie? This is why I don't take anything you say remotely seriously. :lol:

Generalizing a bit? Yeah, I thought that was obvious.

Lmao..

I don't mean to be offensive however you know very little about politics. You were an obvious ndp supporter until election night then you were a liberal lol...

Im not surprised you have to generalize as most your arguments are weak at best.

Please don't threaten to leave this thread only to return again and again. Lol

I'm not as pro-conservative as I am Anti-NDP. The liberals will make me pay more taxes which pisses me off but it could have been far worse with Fat Tom in power. 

My main issue with Trudeau is that he is more of a spokesperson than a PM. He seems very groomed, rehearsed, and artificial.
