Thought this was good

[jimmy4321]

That's more realistic for any politician who has to make decisions. Most would still sell their soul for those numbers. Altough most do with little in return.

[I see what you did]

Thought this was good

ya, that's some quality enturtlement right thur

[d0nb]

A template has been set. All it will take to get rid of JT is a rich populist candidate capable of commandeering a mainstream political party and using social media to do an end run around our incompetent MSM. No prob.

Better to have a bumbler than a "leader" with a bad agenda. That's why Harper got the boot.

really LOL gotta love this news headline today

"""You could say the Trudeau Liberals achieved one thing this year — disappointing everyone"""

[hobbyguy]

It is actually kinda nice to see that JT has annoyed the far left and the far right. Those who shout the loudest from extreme positions ought not to be catered to.

On balance he done some stuff I am happy about, and some not so much, and only one thing I am truly annoyed by.

1. Killed the NGP. Happy about that.
2. Approved LNG. Happy about that.
3. Committed to a significant upgrade of our coast guard. Happy about that.
4. Bought some Super Hornets and SAR aircraft. Happy about that.
5. Approved the TMX and Line 3. Neutral on that.
6. Brought in Syrian Refugees. Neutral on that.
7. Signed up for CETA. Neutral on that.
8. Signed up for TPP. Unhappy with that.
9. Bumbled over Castro and a few others. Unhappy with that, but sort of meh!

And so on.

A mix I can live with. And there is only one of the so far announced Conservative leadership candidates that would get a look from me, and I don't think he has a snowball's chance.

So for now, happy enough with our bumbler. It will be interesting to see how he handles the far left when they go to block the TMX.

Who is the Conservative candidate? O'Leary?

* How can anyone be happy with a Communist as leader?
* How can anyone be happy with a "leader" that sends millions supporting Hamas and other terrorist organizations and yet has little funds to improve our health care?
* How can anyone be happy with a "leader" that in one year has not created any jobs for the unemployed yet brought in thousands of migrants who cannot find jobs either?
* How can you be happy with a "leader" that takes more days vacation, selfies & magazine shoots, than work.
* How can you be happy with a "leader" who lobbies for foreign money for the Trudeau Foundation? It's a conflict of interest.
* How can anyone be happy with a "leader" who has never worked a day in his life ... oops forgot. part-time drama teacher and used those skills well to fool voters who voted for him.
* Howe can you be happy with a "leader" who has hooked up with a well known rich communist George Soros whose aim is to make us a place like Germany.
* Taking his relatives and friends on a government plane on vacation paid by the taxpayers.
* How can anyone be happy with a Carbon Tax which IMHO is a hoax. Australia scrapped it.
* How can anyone be happy with shutting down the oil industry and creating unemployment in Alberta.

Feel free to add to this list.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/communism
Not communist. Please don't throw around terms you don't understand

* How can anyone be happy with a "leader" that sends millions supporting Hamas and other terrorist organizations and yet has little funds to improve our health care?

$20 million will go support education, health and social services for millions of vulnerable Palestinian refugees, as well as urgent humanitarian assistance.

Money is not going towards supporting Hamas.

"In 2016, total health expenditure in Canada is expected to reach $228 billion, or $6,299 per person. It is anticipated that, overall, health spending will represent 11% of Canada's gross domestic product (GDP)."

I'm sure 20 million is a huge retraction from 228 billion. That's 0.0088% btw
* How can anyone be happy with a "leader" that in one year has not created any jobs for the unemployed yet brought in thousands of migrants who cannot find jobs either?

2016 unemployment rate


Last full year under Harper

Seems unemployment wouldn't have been much different. Furthermore since 2014, Canada has taken 37,402 refugees. Canada's labour demographics show a work force of 18 million (stats can)
Imagining every refugee is of working age, and not a single one is working that would represent .2% so we could say that .2% of the unemployment is refugees. I'm all likelihood the number is much smaller, but either way barely registers against the natural variance.

* How can you be happy with a "leader" that takes more days vacation, selfies & magazine shoots, than work.

Statistically very few vacation days have been taken. Imagine if every single weekend and lunch break you took was as politicized as the PM's. Also the PM takes no more selfies than you do, but fans of his often request them from him. Note you can easily look up selfies with Harper and Trump taken with friends, family, and fans of theirs

* How can you be happy with a "leader" who lobbies for foreign money for the Trudeau Foundation? It's a conflict of interest.

Justin Trudeau has not been involved with the Trudeau foundation since before taking office. No conflict of interest

* How can anyone be happy with a "leader" who has never worked a day in his life ... oops forgot. part-time drama teacher and used those skills well to fool voters who voted for him.

Trudeau has had several jobs, and taught a number of different subjects, also before even being considered as liberal party leader ran in a Conservative stronghold and won easily. He then won again, so must have been doing something right. Not to mention that a lot of politicians, both liberal and conservative would be invalid in your eyes if teaching is not an acceptable background.

* Howe can you be happy with a "leader" who has hooked up with a well known rich communist George Soros whose aim is to make us a place like Germany.

What's wrong with Germany?

* Taking his relatives and friends on a government plane on vacation paid by the taxpayers.

Canadian law mandates that PM must travel by government plane.

* How can anyone be happy with a Carbon Tax which IMHO is a hoax. Australia scrapped it.

Good thing your opinion isn't fact, nor a metric on which the rest of the country supports the prime minister. The Australian government isn't exactly the best benchmark to go by either. I'm happy with the carbon tax

* How can anyone be happy with shutting down the oil industry and creating unemployment in Alberta.

Shutting down the oil industry hey? Pretty sure he just approved some major pipelines that the Harper administration failed repeatedly to pass. Not to mention that unemployment problems in Alberta are the result of years of failed Conservative policy, and would be no different under any administration.

Feel free to add to this list.

So how can anyone be happy with Trudeau? It's quite easy when you aren't blinded by bias and ignorance.
