All Things Trudeau, Chapter 2

[The Green Barbarian]

The people voted, Justin won and we are here today.

Justin lost, and here we are today, $600 million poorer, all because of an insane power grab that back-fired.

I know math is hard, but where I come from that's $17,446.81/person to do a Covid test.

Treasury Board President
@MonaFortier budgets $82M for Covid tests on 4,700 employees amid questions of hidden pork: "How does the gov't justify this?"

Which friend of Trudeau's is supplying these tests?

4,700 employees that need to be tested twice a week because they are not vaccinated.

4,700 x $199 x 52 x 2 = roughly $97,000,000. Less a government contract discount makes $82 million reasonable.

One more price of the anti-vaxxer folks.

The $82 million may also include the documentation costs within the government organizations. Somebody has check each test document for validity, file it, make sure employees are getting tested etc. etc.

In some parallel world sure. But your PM right now is Mr. Justin Trudeau. Like it or not you have to live with it.

Like it or not, mega billions are being squandered by the idiot children in our current government.

We weren't discussing the money, we were discussing who is the PM of Canada. I believe your response tells me you agree with me that Justin Trudeau is the current Prime Minister of Canada.

I will agree that governments here and all over the world need to stop spending like drunken sailors.

such a poor photoshop, at least make it look realistic.

We had an election as the mandate of the government changed and the people should decide if the pandemic mandates set by the current government should continue. The people voted, Justin won and we are here today. For better or worse democracy worked and we need to live with the results.

Spoken like a true liberal. I do hope you follow the news and realize what deficit he has thrown this country into. I feel sorry for the next Prime minister trying to dig what JT has spent.

Please don't respond it was covid, because excluding that he is still no where near balancing his budget as he promised.

A couple of Justin's girls are playing with fire here.

Canada threatens U.S. with tariffs, partial suspension of USMCA over electric vehicle tax credit.
Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland and International Trade Minister Mary Ng made threat in letter to U.S. senators.

Tell me, who would be laughing harder at these two, Trump or Biden?
Heck, after their laugh they would probably high-five each other.
And Canada's friend is Biden?

They ain't "Justin's girls". They are formidable people.

And yup, Freeland made it work against the coward Trump with aluminum and steel tariffs... Biden may be another kettle of fish, but we will see.

In the background, Canada has a green project deal with Germany on hydrogen, so perhaps instead of making Fords and GMs our people wind up making Volkswagens, MBs, and BMWs etc.... plus there is always Honda, Nissan and Toyota to throw in the mix.

Great move here. This shows that allies can work together. It will be interesting to see China’s responses. This was big news in Australia, but not really heralded in Canada or the US. This along with the diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics perhaps demonstrates a new policy change towards China. The next few months will tell. In the meantime, the Trudeau government is to be congratulated.

Formidably stupid people.

Why were people even questioning if there was an election? People make it seem like it was illegal or something. Are there rules about when an election is called? Do conservatives feel that it is only ok for them to call a snap election - and not the Liberals? For a federal party that only answers 5 questions, and leaves the house in creative ways to dodge journalists, who do they think they are questioning the Trudeau Liberals about a called election?

If it is under the guise of accountability, then I cant take conservatives seriously. One - Under Harper conservatives, there were always a ton of unanswered questions. 2 - Scheer didn't feel it was necessary to tell Canadians that he was a dual citizen - which is kinda important to know. 3 - Otool was in a studio and spoke to Canadians in a homogenous cocoon of conservative subterfuge. Rather than be out among Canadians shaking hands with people or the CBC.

If it's about money - then again - I can't take conservatives seriously. One - the conservatives were prolific spenders themselves. And prorogued/omnibussed budgets rather than putting them up for discussion. 2 - Conservatives lavished Alberta oil companies with so many pork-barrel subsidies that it was astonishing. 3 - Let's not forget that an insignificant gazebo cost an absurd amount for making the drive to a g20 event (by bulletproof limos and world leaders) look quaint and pretty.

At the end of the day, Canadians spoke and a "majority" of seats for various parties (who can work together) won a mandate from Canadians. If conservatives want to control when elections happen again - the party needs to meet the needs of the voters who feel conservatives had nothing to offer them. The conservative echo chamber base is not what speaks for ALL Canadians. It is as much a self-serving echo chamber faction as the Bloc is.

Which means I'm not jealous of any Liberals.

Because it was a stupid decision to waste $600 million, made by truly stupid and evil people.
