Trudeau family hangs out with convicted attempted murderer

what a clown https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/conserv ... -1.3816377

I watched the first three videos and part of the fourth. Trudeau comes across as a bold faced liar, imho. That little squint he gives after he answers some questions gives the image of a smart azs, like "how'd ya like that clever answer?" What a complete buffoon. How much longer are we stuck with this imbecile? There is no doubt in my mind that he carries a dark secret or two. Let's hope Canadians remember this stuff come election time.

I suggest it is OK to admit you too are as naive as the many others who failed to take responsibility for your own actions!

Did you not do your homework before going out to vote? Are you still not getting it, this guy is not Prime Minister quality? Please wake up and be a responsibly voter next go around or just don't vote!

It doesn't matter if you personally like Trudeau. He has rescued Canadians from our decade of darkness that started with a Global Economic Meltdown and under the Conservatives dismal economic policies by the end of 2014, the unemployment rate was higher than at the end of 2008 (the year of the GEM). The labour force participation rate was lower than in 2008. The employment rate (the percentage of the adult population employed) was lower than at the end of 2008. The youth unemployment rate was higher than at the end of 2008. The share of total employment made up of full-time jobs was less than in 2008 — and the quality of jobs had sunk to its lowest level in a quarter of a century that left Canadians in a national, made by the Conservative recession of 2015.
If you want to make fun of Trudeau's Indian costumes, it doesn't hurt his feelings as this is about his children learning about and participating in another countries culture, and it is a great one!
You know Trudeau is doing an excellent job when all the Conservatives have to complain about is the education of his children and a faux pas invitation by his staff!

This one in the Sun is equally interesting. The Trudeau Liberals' house of cards is about to come tumbling down.

That is indeed interesting but the date of the article has me confused, considering the current events included on the page.
Still, something really stinks with Trudeau. Real bad.

What I got from the date on that news item was that this 'relationship' between the Liberal Party and Atwal was established long ago. Therefore Trudeau's lying if he says he was unaware of Atwal's presence in India. You're right, something stinks.......real bad.

Suppose the president of France were to visit Canada. Suppose he were of a party whose followers included supporters of Quebec’s secession from Canada. Suppose the purpose of the trip was, in part, to set to rest Canadian fears that the government of France was, at the very least, insufficiently supportive of the unity and integrity of Canada.

Now suppose, the French embassy put on an official dinner for the president. And suppose among those invited was Paul Rose (if he were still alive), the FLQ terrorist convicted in the murder of Pierre Laporte. Suppose, indeed, that he had appeared at an official event earlier in the trip, where he posed for photographs with smiling French cabinet members.

Finally, suppose the French president pranced around the country in a series of designer lumberjack jackets, and you have some sense of the catastrophe that has become of Justin Trudeau’s trip to India.

Actually, the analogy is incomplete. To really capture the enormity of the Trudeau government having been caught consorting with Jaspal Atwal, a former member of a banned Sikh terrorist group convicted in the 1986 attempted murder of a visiting Indian cabinet minister in Vancouver, you’d have to suppose Rose were not a resident of Canada but of France, and that, notwithstanding his record as a terrorist, he was welcomed as an active member of the president’s party.

The above quote is from an article by Andrew Coyne in the National Post. I urge you all to read the entire article, because it really helps put this incident in perspective.

There's an old saying that if you "lie down with dogs you get fleas", and Trudeau and the Liberals are "full of fleas" when it comes to their involvement in this debacle.

Thank you, Merry, and thank you Andrew Coyne. A must read for all Canadians.

[Catsumi]

Yes, thank you Merry for the Andrew Coyne link. It is blatantly obvious that to some that Hair'n'Sox can do no wrong and will NOT see truisms in analogies.

We are blessed with buffoonery until next election.

The media folk must be fighting each other tooth and nail for plane seats on the next overseas "trade deal" junket where Canadians get to watch their tax money swallowed and receive flatulence in return. But, hey, it keeps the newsfeeds working.

[Gone_Fishin]

Oh Justin, now you're making a horrible situation even worse. First blaming the high commissioner in India, then getting MP Sarai to take the fall, then actually getting your national security advisor Daniel Jean to spin a conspiracy theory that your hosts "planted" Atwal to make you look bad - seriously, just resign in disgrace and go back to drama class.


At first Trudeau and crew tried to blame the “unfortunate” incident on an invitation handed out in error by Canada’s High Commissioner to India. When that didn’t work he blamed backbench Liberal MP Randeep Sarai who he alone issued the invitation. Since anyone with any knowledge knows that PMO political staff vet names on lists like this, no one believed it.

So then Trudeau tried the fake news route. He brought out Daniel Jean, the man who acts as his national security advisor, to tell the media on background how this could all be part of an elaborate plot by India to embarrass Trudeau.


Read the story, check the links to Global and CBC if you don't believe Brian Lilley. This has ballooned into a scandal of epic proportions, and it's time for Trudeau to take the bullet and step down before any more damage is done to Canada and Canadians on the world stage.

[Queen K]

Tried to blame INDIA? The same country he's hoping to promote trade with? And get Indian immigrant votes?

Smooth move.

[Catsumi]

Yes, smooth and slick as snot on a doorknob.

The double whammy is it COST us 500 million (plus) for the faux trade deal.

What a negotiator!

Resign JT, the drama class is calling for you!

His popularity sinking faster than the Titanic, what will be the next spin? Harper tampered with the guest list?
I am betting he'll have to take a well deserved holiday ( on my coin) after all this stress press.
"A story on one Indian TV news network referred to the controversy as “embarrassing,” and included the rather awkward clip of their reporter shouting the question “Mr. Trudeau, why did you invite a Khalistani terrorist for a reception?” Hard to imagine how it could get much worse than that.

And this was all so easily avoidable. Whatever background checks or vetting would or wouldn’t have otherwise happened in such circumstances, a simple Google search of “Jaspal Atwal” would have more than sufficed. In addition to whatever stories one might uncover about his 1987 conviction, there are much more recent stories about Atwal. In 2012, there was a huge outcry after Atwal was invited to attend the B.C. government’s throne speech. Is the slightest bit of curiosity too much to ask for?"

[Gone_Fishin]

Good question.

Here's Rex Murphy's take on Trudeau's disastrous India trip:

Everyone agrees our prime minister is both elegant and stylish. How well he looks and dresses is the prime well of his confidence. But this week’s Passage Through India was a struggle between self-parody and narcissism in which, alas, both sides won. Mr. Trudeau showed up in India with more costumes than a Vegas chorus line on a 50-state tour.

I am not a master of protocol but I do know a person who is on all aspects from dress to security (he managed the visit to Newfoundland by Diana, Princess of Wales). I sought him out for his wisdom. On security he told me the rules were few but urgent. Top of the list was “keep invitations to noted assassins at a minimum.” The guiding principle here was the fewer assassins, would-be or otherwise, the better. None was regarded as optimum.

Thus it was quite the shock late in the week when one Jaspal Atwal was found on the guest list for the prime minister’s dinner at the Canadian High Commission. Mr. Atwal has a demonstrated eagerness for thuggery and (attempted) assassination, and the criminal record to prove it.

He is an energetic sort. In 1985 he attacked the splendid and courageous Ujjal Dosanjh, beating him with an iron bar. Mr. Dosanjh, brave man that he is, had spoken out against Sikh extremists and earned for his efforts 88 stitches to his head, besides other injuries. In 1986, Atwal abandoned the iron bar and went, with three of his friends, for an upgrade to the gun.

Atwal shot and wounded an Indian cabinet minister on Vancouver Island when the minister was visiting Canada for a wedding — a full but failed assassination attempt for which he was convicted of attempted murder. There’s more on the rap sheet but just this should raise the question — what does it take NOT to get invited to the prime minister’s dinner table on a trip to India? Most would question allowing him to go to Swiss Chalet for takeout.

Yet there was Atwal, despite his infamy, his assault and attempted murder, on the guest list for the big dinner at the High Commission;

ANALYSIS: How Justin Trudeau’s India trip went from bad to ‘Bengal Bungle’

https://globalnews.ca/news/4044543/davi ... gal-bungle

Had it just been the snickering from the usual suspects about his clothes, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau likely would have ended his week in India with little political damage and possibly even a bump in popularity in Canada’s large Indian diaspora.

But some bad press turned worse, much worse, when it emerged that a man convicted of what a Canadian judge called “an act of terrorism” — an attempt in 1986 to assassinate an Indian politician visiting Vancouver Island — showed up at a Trudeau event in Mumbai, invited there by a B.C. Liberal MP.

And then “worse” turned to “farce” when the PMO trotted out one of the most senior members of the civil service, someone who is one of the handful of bureaucrats privy to literally all the secrets of our national security agencies, to engage in frantic damage control.

After insisting that any journalist who wanted to listen to what this individual had to say could not name this person, the government tasked the bureaucrat with peddling what must be one of the most bizarre conspiracy theories ever advanced by a Canadian government: That Jaspal Atwal, the terrorist invited by the Liberals to Mumbai, may have been planted there by the Indian government or maybe by Indian security agencies or perhaps by factions in the Indian government. Whatever that means.

In other words, it was the Indian government who had successfully set out to make their guest, the Canadian prime minister, look like a fool when it came to his position on Sikh extremism.

And this was the spin Trudeau’s government was offering up while Trudeau himself was still in India, hours before he was to meet Narendra Modi, the prime minister of the government that Canada’s “senior government official” thinks was trying to show up Canada’s PM.

This individual, in describing the theory, couched every possibility with words like “maybe” and “possibly,” yet offered no proof or evidence of any allegation and did all of this from behind the cloak of anonymity.

SNIP!!!

No means, no motive. Sorry, but our “senior government official” should have simply explained what role Canadian national security agencies had in vetting Atwal prior to his attendance at the Mumbai events. (The answer was: None.)

And so, there was Trudeau, in his final press conference of the week in New Delhi, hours after meeting Modi, taking questions about why he believes his hosts tried to make him look bad.

It’s hard to imagine a bigger Bengal bungle.
