Such cynicism can only come from those who support remain.

I would agree with you at this current point in the game, though JT's first two years were pretty smashing both domestically and internationally and echoed his dad's celebrity. Trump and the rise of right-wing populism took a sledgehammer to sunny ways. Nevertheless, I don't think Trump's star is rising. He'll be lucky to maintain his stature going into the next election. For different reasons and in different ways, both Trudeau and Trump need some good turns going into the next election cycle. If the Dems win the next election, especially with a socialist like Cortez at the helm, and if Trudeau holds onto power after next fall, we'll be back to state dinners. If the Republicans or the Dems have a more centrist leader, like a Bush Sr. or Kasich or Biden, relations between the two countries will be fine. I think Trudeau is learning to tone down the righteous polcor BS. Scheer would be uncontroversial. He's probably a less astute Harper. At this point in Canada it's about getting the pipelines built. Most of everything else is noise.

This time the left cat won. The right cat roared loudly and attacked first, but ended up with a piece of fur near a ear tearing off and had to back down. But I'm sure the right cat will come back another day. It's cat nature...

...then all nations are artificial. Some of them are already economic superpowers, with economies that dwarf many other nations (e.g. California, Texas, New York).

No shit there were vulnerabilities. We were warned of vulnerabilities when he first started talking about replacing our immigration system with a turnstile.

Then you deserve to be abused by shithead

Yeah...it's in the part where residency and citizenship will not be denied for lesser terrorist crimes.

The other thing I noticed, is that right after Stephen Harper committed the cardinal sin of overruling the Mounties, in that he took the job of deciding which guns would be breed banned in Canada away from them and gave it back to the Parliament, is right about the time the Mounties started doing their jobs all of a sudden and peppered the government with criminal investigation.

I don't think he's being a dick, I think he probably believes it, it's not different than the Soviet Union wherein the Soviet people were indoctrinated from birth by their propaganda arms Pravda and Tass to be totalitarians wherein the interests of the state and associated propaganda arms was indistinguishable from themselves and their own interests.

Typical hack response. The CBC is one of the jewels of Canada. It's the closest thing to a non-partisan media outlet. But just because some of their news may upset the cheerleaders of one party, suddenly they are biased.

Pretty sure the loon is the talk raging lunatic who is advocating mass murder in defence of the Crown against the subjects of the Crown, mass murdering your own people extra-judicially as you are advocating, needs only Responsibility to Protect invoked, Canada's own contribution to international law, but there are actually multiple statutes which render what you are advocating, not only a war crime, but as I said, Crimes Against Humanity, see; Nuremberg.
