The thesis this topic was based on basically says as much, with Canada being a mosaic as opposed to a melting pot. With Canadians having the Charter of Rights and freedoms. The fact that I work with Canadians speaking French.

K why?

LOL - I am sensing a pattern here. Mostly fueled by deliberate obtuseness, caused by willful blindness.

Facts to back up what? What the hell are you talking about? I already gave you the NEP as a completely disastrous and stupid policy, and all you did was barf up some Marxist-Leninist apologist nonsense. You don't want to listen so is there a point in even responding? It's kind of like talking to SJW's and PC cultists who want to constantly pick apart every single thing Trump says so that they can be constantly offended, rather than actually focus on the big picture. You don't want to listen so there really is no point in even discussing this with you. Your mind is closed, like it is on so many other issues.

You know, facts, to back up your opinion that he is the worst PM? Why? What specific policies did he enact and how did they directly lead to the destruction of our country? The blurb you posted literally just says his legacy was disastrous, also without saying why. You've rephrased that sentiment in several ways and provided some hyperbole and rantings so how about some substance now?

You know, facts

ah yes, "Facts" as scrubbed through your leftist filters. Time to call it a day. You won't listen, no matter what you are given as proof. And that's "facts".

If Canada’s health system delivers better results today than 15 years ago, it’s not because it operates more efficiently. Canada’s health system delivers better results because the reduction of Trudeau’s debt burden has freed more funds for healthcare spending. The Canadian socialist Tommy Douglas anticipated the Trudeau disaster when he said that the great enemy of progressive government was unsound finance.

Pierre Trudeau was a spending fool. He was not alone in that, in the 1970s. But here’s where he was alone. No contemporary leader of an advanced industrial economy – not even the German Social Democrat Helmut Schmidt or the British socialist James Callaghan – had so little understanding as Pierre Trudeau of the private market economy. “Little understanding?” I should have said: “active animosity.”

Trudeau believed in a state-led economy, and the longer he lasted in office, the more statist he became. The Foreign Investment Review Agency was succeeded by Petro-Canada. Petro-Canada was succeeded by wage and price controls. Wage and price controls were succeeded by the single worst economic decision of Canada’s 20th century: the National Energy Program.
