If people took the time to look into this issue you discuss they should on principle understand that what the current government did was to LIE about what they intended to do once elected and did the exact opposite and have made things worse not better than the regime prior to their own. They also compounded this by finding 10 million to pay a terrorist but in the next breath say there was no money for vets. The sad thing is I am not sure most people at this time are giving thought to this issue, the 5 ethics violations, the Lavalin issue, the Kadr payout, the breakdown in Immigration Law, deficit financing, the failure to implement an energy pipeline and energy corridor, the allowing of the Air Force and all armed forces to go without badly needed upgrades, and a big stinking conflict of interest with Bill Morneau using his insider info to trade his family company's stocks. No one is discussing these issues and the press is soft. They allow Trudeau to avoid questions and only engage in one way canned script sound bites which come down to promising things like candy to a child or heroin to an addict. Not one policy Trudeau has proposed has any substance to it. Its all short term quick fix immediate bribes with no other thought.
The environmental position is just an out and out lie. Trudeau failed to meet any emission limits and comes up with absolutely phony new limits he has no intention of honouring any more than he did the previous ones. The carbon tax is just a tax and people are idiotic enough to think if you increase their taxes but do not earmark that increase towards environmental programs, magically people will stop driving cars? Its a tax. A friggin tax to try keep up with the huge deficit and run away interest rates and calling it a carbon tax but not using one penny on environmental programs is the height of dishonesty and yet people buy it.
Trudeau ran from a debate on foreign policy. Of course. How could he defend the implications of defending Lavalin's illegal activities across the world. How could he defend engaging in interfering with Lavalin on the one hand, then in the next breath tell China over Hua Wei he can't interfere in the legal process. How could he defend his Foreign Minister bringing in a young woman from Saudi Arabia on the grounds of stating publically "she reminds me of my daughter"? The grounds for allowing her refugee status means, any Muslim woman, and for that matter, any woman who does not approve of the religion of their family overseas in their country of origin, can now apply as a refugee on the grounds of persecution. This means hundreds of millions of Muslim women in Muslim countries are entitled to refugee status as one example.
Trudeau has run from two debates. He is a coward. His answer to being caught acting like a privileged jack ass is to say its because he's privileged, and then in the very next sentence using his privilege to lecture others not to be privileged without himself acknowledging his privilege is not an excuse for what he did.
This country is on the verge of re-electing him on a minority basis. The NDP and Greens would love that. The only thing we now must ask, will NDP and Green votes take away Liberal votes to allow Conservatives to slip in. There was a worry Bernier would divide Conservative votes but his strength is in Quebec and the Bloc Quebecois seems to be back threatening to take back certain Liberal seats, NDP seats and Conservative seats, so much so all national leaders are gutless and will not discuss the out and out bigoted Bill 21 in Quebec.
