He's done more for us than anyone else in the last 100 years.

Better than the body bags the last guy sent us.

Justin Trudeau is a giant piece of lying , but hopefully Kinsella is right, and he just wants out. Bye bye Justin, you lying scumbag!

KINSELLA: The silver lining to Trudeau's Tofino trip turmoil
I now think, more than ever before, he wants to leave.

Always look for the silver lining, our moms told us. It’s there.

In the case of the Justin Trudeau surf vacation, it’s hard to spot the silver lining. Because the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation wasn’t a good one. At all.

To recap:

Justin Trudeau and his office bald-faced lied about where he was on Sept. 30. He wasn’t in Ottawa for “meetings,” as they claimed.

He was on a Challenger jet with his entourage, heading to British Columbia, spewing greenhouse gases that were the equivalent to what an average Canadian family generates in an entire year.

He and his office said he would be meeting with “residential school survivors.” That was a lie, too. He allegedly made a phone call or two to some Indigenous people. We don’t know who or how many, exactly.

Trudeau and co. headed to Tofino, which is at the heart of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, a sacred place of profound significance to Indigenous people. Trudeau wasn’t there for any of that, or even to meet briefly with the First Nation. He was there for the surfer’s beach, which he’d been to many times before.

Oh, and the mansion. Trudeau and his entourage were staying at an $18-million oceanfront estate.

SNIP

But here is the silver lining: I don’t think Justin Trudeau wants to do the job anymore. I think he wanted a majority government, didn’t get one, and now he wants out.

I now think, more than ever before, he wants to leave.

And that, my friends, is a real silver lining.

Trudeau has now beat the moribund Reform/Alliance CPC three times, and I believe it's possible for him to run and whup them a 4th straight time.

Here's why.

The CPC is a party held together by spit and a prayer. Preston Manning's right-wing extremists, and moderates from the old PC party.

These factions have a hard time getting along, and their current 98 pound weakling leader will have a hard time holding them together. Never mind away from each other's throats.

I believe before the next election, the CPC will split in two. Three parties will then be contesting the right wing vote. And Trudeau will ride to victory for a forth time with a majority government.

Actually, I use my people because they are my people

And yes, you clearly DO need to state your position on TR if you're going to use it for fodder.
If you yourself has done and contributed nothing, then you're in no position to use it for your agenda.

Other than some professional FN Trudeau haters and JWR parents, the vast majority of FN were totally fine with JW letting us have the mic that day.....until settler media destroyed it.

Why don't those voices count?

Oh I know.....because they don't push the narrative.

People are commenting on Trudeau's behaviour. While it's your choice to see TR as using it for fodder, and to turn this into the FN vs the settlers, your "us" vs "them", IMO there's no logical reason to expect anyone else to go along with it.

All voices count.

No one should be expected to remain silent about Trudeau's lack of respect on Truth and Reconciliation Day because they're not First Nations, any more than those of us who are not veterans should be expected to stay silent if he goes surfing on Remembrance Day unless we can show we've done something for veterans or contributed to them in some way.

We are all Canadians, we all get a voice about how our leader is behaving in a way we find disrespectful.

Trudeau has been a source of division in this country from day one. We don't have to let him pit us against each other. That's our choice.

And remember only listen to and believe the liberals paid off news organizations everything else is fake news and edited videos.
LOL

There needs to be one major change to our voting process and that is the ability to vote for the PM of YOUR choice in addition to the vote for your riding. Whoever gets the most votes wins. I guess asking for equal representation among all provinces would be unfair to ask for? Maybe we should base ridings on federal revenue and decrease them when your expenditures outreach your revenue? That sounds like a better representation to me.

Rupa Subramanya: Yes, Tofino Trudeau is entitled, but he’s not clueless

September 30th was the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day intended for reflection and remembrance of the brutality suffered by Indigenous Canadians, especially indigenous children who survived or perished in the Indian Residential School system. This was nothing less than a state sponsored endeavour to assimilate indigenous Canadians into “mainstream” Canadian culture, originating with the two founding peoples of the modern nation.

One might have thought that newly re-elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has spoken often on the need for reconciliation, and whose government lowered the flag at half mast indefinitely in memory of indigenous children who perished in the residential schools, might have marked a day that his own government created in an appropriately solemn manner. As we now know, he chose instead to spend a holiday at the beach in Tofino, ignoring requests from survivors of the nearby residential school in Kamloops and literally flying over them on the way to his fun and frolic in the sand.

The glaring dissonance between Trudeau’s soaring rhetoric on reconciliation and the reality that he, just like many other Canadians, treated it as just another public holiday, has aroused justified criticism. To make the optics even worse, if that’s even possible, Trudeau’s office obviously lied about his whereabouts, claiming he would be in private meetings in Ottawa and then only updating his schedule after he was spotted in Tofino. The whole episode reeks of entitlement and arrogance and a blithe disregard for the impression that such behaviour leaves with the Canadian public.

117 ended. Rest by end of year. Covid did delay the work. Building water treatment facilities in remote areas doesn't happen in one night.

In fact, weat kelowna is getting one too. Thanks Liberals!

And again, exactly why I said he's done more.....the last government ended ZERO.

There’s another little problem associated with Truth-n-Reconciliation Day here.

The Canadian flag has been at half mast for some time now in respect to Indigenous, but raising of the flag depends on their say so. Remembrance Day is fast approaching when the flag is lowered to half mast to respect our war dead.

Question is: when will the flag be raised and how do you even bring up the request in order to accommodate Remembrance Day?

This could lead to even stickier issues between Indigenous, the regular folk in Canada and the PMO.

What's the big deal? Flags are meaningless today. Borders mean less and less every year. Nations are so connected financially and politically that if one nation crashes - we all do. Flags don't stop this. There was a time when flags represented things - like borders - or groups of people. I remember learning when I was a kid doing civics and putting a flag up - that I was told a flag should never hit the ground. Go to any national sports event these days and you will find flags discarded on the ground. My cousin was in the navy on a ship with 5000 people years ago. And he was a signalman. But lights and flags are not needed as much these days because of tech. It makes you think about a lot of traditions that will become redundant as we keep moving forward in the 21st century.
