You're really sugar coating this stuff. The "family friend" line was false. Trudeau had no personal interaction with this close family friend of his for 30 years, until, coincidentally I’m sure, he became the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. Except for his father’s funeral in 2000, the last time before 2013 Trudeau saw the Aga Khan was when he, as a 12-year-old boy, accompanied his father, then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau, on a family vacation in Greece. Yet after one encounter in 30 years, Trudeau and his good buddy holidayed together thrice in two years — once as Liberal leader in 2014, and twice as prime minister in 2016, when the ethical lapses occurred. It’s undeniable that the Aga Khan, whose foundation has received more than $300 million in Canadian government money since the 1980s, has a business relationship with Canada that is relevant to the prime minister’s work. Even if they were genuinely friends, that’s all the more reason to clear the trip through Canada’s ethics channels. As for the groping incident. The allegation was in fact very credible. In 2018, a newspaper piece from 2000 emerged: A reporter alleged that Trudeau, who was 28 at the time, was at the Kokanee Summit in Creston, B.C., raising money for a charity. An editorial in the local paper said Trudeau was accused of “groping” and “inappropriately handling” a female reporter during the event. Reached by CBC in 2018, the woman said “The incident referred to in the editorial did occur, as reported. Mr. Trudeau did apologize the next day. I did not pursue the incident at the time and will not be pursuing the incident further. I have had no subsequent contact with Mr. Trudeau, before or after he became Prime Minister.” SNC Lavalin. WE Charity.

Your discussing housing crisis with people who think Trudeau personally decides what you can have for breakfast? Don't waste your time pointing out facts. They all seem to have slept through Social Studies 10 and have no idea how Parliamentary democracy works or what a PM can and can't and does do. So long as they can post some meaningless Trudeau hate comment on the Internet you can think of it like Stephen Harper did, let his lunatic fringe blow off steam with unconstitutional daily Crime Bills while he got on with running the government.

As I said, like it or not. But in terms of experience, Trudeau does not compare to Trump, because he has none. What I don’t like is someone who leads us on non-issues while failing on the ones that matter, because his focus is on his pet projects, wokism and massive reform without consideration of the effects it has to those caught in the transition. But hey, you people who are completely comfortable, please carry on...

Climate deniers in 2022 are either blind and deaf (not dumb - that means can't speak and they do nothing but bellow at the top of their lungs) or willfully ignorant. Quoting a 3% disagree figure from 20 years ago, scouring the dregs of the Internet or simply making up things to seem like they know more than dick shit. I'm sure they could dig up facts that prove gravity is a lie or a conspiracy if the Illuminati given enough time. And it's not Jobs OR the Environment. I heard that shit 50 years ago and too many of us listened. There is no black OR white, night OR day, good OR bad. It's only the hard core Can'tservative that claims 90% effective is no good because it's not 100% so we shouldn't try at all.

Leave the keys on the bankers desk and drive away out of town. That's what a couple friends did when Mackenzie collapsed in the 1980s. 3 kids and everything you could fit into or strap onto a Ford Escort and off to Vancouver. Those 18% mortgages were a bitch. Both of us had full time union jobs and didn't have two nickels left to rub together. No furniture - people had to bring their own chairs to our first house warming party. Futon on the bedroom floor, Sally Ann kitchen table.... no one will do that these days. They want it all, right now.

A great reset might be a good thing. Somebody should shut the Earth's power switch to OFF. count to 10 and flip it ON again. It works for most other things.

Sometimes consensus has nothing to do with science but this isn't one of those times. I think how long a vast bunch persists in believing something has a bearing on it. Is there no time component to the determination of when agreement is appropriate for action? His persecutors knew that too once they saw his evidence, and the consensus was strong that he had to be kept quiet to protect the vested interest they had in the status quo. If you've seen one deliberate denier you've seen them all.

You sound like you're getting impatient with JT as well, Boges. Why don't you liberals admit it, you don't like what you see either. Come clean for once. This man is an incompetent jackass, and jackass is the best word for him. By that I mean, one who is both naive and flippant. Callous, arrogant, and a liar. But he's also dangerous because he is such an empowered jackass. I can give policy reasons, it hardly matters. Like someone recently said leadership is not a political party or even a platform, it's an individual with attitude and vision. I would even take another Liberal as PM over JT. It's not that I oppose liberalism carte-blanche. Canada is a liberal country and I have felt proud of it in the past, but not since JT took over. His mission is to bring shame on Canada, to make Canadians feel ashamed of their country. In order to make Canada a post-national state, you have to kill the culture. To do that you have to make young Canadians hate the country. Hate its history, hate the great people of its past, by telling deceptive half-truths, and by using his bully pulpit and big spending to send out that divisive message across the country. Trudeau is in fact a hate-mongerer, which is entirely un-Canadian, making him the most un-Canadian prime minister of all time.

How di Trudeau drive up home prices? BC has been nuts for over 15 years.

And don't get me wrong. I don't particularly like Trudeau either. Though make harsh value judgements about the type of person that puts a "Fuck Trudeau" sticker on their Truck. Trudeau has won three elections in a row. Last two he's lost the popular vote, but that's mostly due to voting saturation out West. A Riding won with 80% of the vote is still only worth one seat. My question is. What is your long-game here? Are you satisfied being on the fringe? I'll give Erin O'Toole credit, he tried to make the CPC more appealing to the masses, then he got kicked out. PP only proves to further that polarization. PP has no hope of winning the 905. Those are the seats that tilt any Federal campaign into one column or the other.

So now RBC is predicting a historic housing correction. https://financialpost.com/executive/executive-summary/posthaste-canadas-housing-market-headed-for-historic-correction-says-rbc Trudeau et al need to be jailed

I'm sure immigration has a role to play, but I think it is much larger than all of that. the restricting of owning private property goes against the western dream and how our economy works. If you can afford it why not have more than one of anything.

No need for garbage here. I think it’s fair to say you trust and put faith in government. I do not. To me government is a necessary evil that needs to be carefully controlled to actually be useful. This is from experience, not theories.

1. Destroying the economy... is an exaggeration. Also if you care about the poor then are you going to support aid packages for the poor nations impacted by climate change?

OMG. What are you going on about? Buying land?? Who? Where? Have you ever been out of your basement to see what is really going on in the world. What the rest of the world looks like?? I think not judging by your comments. We are talking eco systems damage and failures in the Netherlands.. You really need to get your head on straight and find out the ecological damage being done over there. https://www.indexmundi.com/netherlands/environment_current_issues.html All stores had online offerings. The rise of food deliveries kept many restaurants in business. You are such a drama queen LOL

Lol there it is.. if you don't obey blindly something really really really bad will happen.. So basically get it from a select few who are buying up all the land? That's a crisis in and of itself. No they made a killing during covid because they were the only ones allowed to operate. Everyone else was mandated to close shop

The personal responsibility you're willing to assume doesn't matter - it's the liability that is assigned to you that does, probably by the Supreme Court for the most part. Ignoring your responsibility for doing anything to protect yourself from future liability seems dumb. You mentioned culpability in the context of one's own misfortune so surely you can understand what I'm getting at.

Consensus is as high as it is enduring, the latter factor taking on more significance as time goes by.

People who wish to restrict the number of children any couple has, is neither dignified nor decent.!

Not jumping around at all.. the same scare tactics are being used, a hard power play, to destroy small scale farming and hand it over to multinationals. We saw previous governments do that here where they'd create legislation to land on the side of the big multinational Corp, ie Cargill, which made it easy for them to sue small scale farmers for something as small as seed blowing on to someone else's field. We saw it with the systematic destruction of small business during covid while Amazon and others brought in record profit. Netherlands is doing the same, hiding behind environmental excuses. When the food supply is destroyed, they'll Blame climate change... got it? Now you are gullible enough to buy the propaganda. In the end its corporations and government working together to screw over the little guy.

An interesting thing happened.Just walk away and get foreclosed. At the time, there was no down payments legislated or required. Banks just gave you the money. The developers wanted to sell homes so bad they offered no down payment and 5 appliances to you for you to buy. When it got real bad, there were People that would come up to you and say, we will buy your house for a $1. Then you would pay the new owner rent. The people that bought the house stopped making payments. The bank began foreclosure action and it would take up to 18 months and then they would let the banks take the house. https://archive.macleans.ca/article/1983/9/12/when-homes-sell-for-1

I scanned your post for a cite. Finding none, I didn't bother to read you piling more bad opinions on the old bad opinions. Your posts are proud ignorance. Please go and squawk to your buddies at the donut shop about your earth's axis theory... It's not welcome here.

You've lost. Have some dignity and decency. And I am a male by the way.

The same happened with Covid. Our government’s response to Covid caused more problems than Covid. Workplace absence epidemics due to outdated quarantine and screening rules. Supply chain slowdowns due to lockdowns, quarantines, and absenteeism. Flight delays and cancellations due to the issues above and the ArriveCan vax pass. The destruction of stabilizing institutions: family, church, temple, mosque. Crippling impacts on social-emotional well-being and mental health due to isolation and constant fear-mongering. The population is weakened and vulnerable. Once Covid waned as a real health problem, it became about Ukraine and climate change. If they can’t get the crop failures and food shortages through climate change they’ll engineer them in the name of fighting climate change then blame climate change for the shortages.

The climate plan is the biggest scam we've ever seen. They claim they are "saving the environment". In reality you have oligarchs like Bill Gates buying up all the farm land as the government does everything in their power to destroy the family farm. Basically using the climate hoax to screw over the middle class. The most disgusting thing of it all is they pretend like they are your savior while doing it.

I don't believe that's happening. What is happening is that politicians and the WEF affiliated bums are trying to create food shortages (a crisis) so they can blame on "climate change" or something dumb and use that as justification for more control. The gullible go along with it. And yes you can protest so long as you don't have "unacceptable views".

You are being shown proof that Trudeau is following with what the WEF is doing. But I don’t think you are ready for this particular truth yet.

Well said. Trudeau and Ford were not equipped to deal with these things, no one could be. But despite their ideological differences, they were focused on a goal and knew that the smart people behind the scenes were giving them the best advice they could. Part of this recent trend of putting everything on the leader reflects a lack of public understanding of how many smart people work on these things. It could always be much better, but look at other jurisdictions to see that it could be much worse.

like I say it's not a pro-environment stance it's an anti-human stance this is the common denominator in cougar's immigration and environmental policies cougar just hates people and wants to punish them for existing and thriving then comes up with policy changes that impede their ability to do that cloaking that agenda by using nicer sounding buzzwords when trying to sell it to the rubes but at the end of the day cougar is just a misanthropic Malthusian who seeks to use the government as a weapon against the people he hates whose politics are driven by envy and resentment

you know what my suggestions were I have repeated them to you on more than one occasion when you play this game now I'm sick of you pretending our previous conversations never happened and acting like you asking me over and over when you already know my answer is a reasonable request

I am not a boomer, you ******** ! I was let into this country under the pretext that I was replacing the same fucking boomers you are now lumping me up with. The rights and freedoms are lost in proportion to the new bodies brought into the country - more of them, less for you! Don't wanna hear from you again.

A government is more than one person. It was the government that put together the all party team, including Provincial governments, to mitigate the Americans assault on NAFTA. It was the government and all parties, that managed the response to a deadly pandemic that saved tens of thousands of lives in Canada while the US suffered the greatest catastrophe in their history. Mr. O'Toole would have formed a government that would have performed a bit better, but we have to give credit where credit is due. And who is the Social Credit candidate for the CPC leadership? Pierre Poillievre. Anyone who has lived under Social Credit knows it for what it is. It is the downfall of the Conservative party and free enterprise.

Anyway what would Mr. Trudeau even know about being Canadian? Having lived in a ivory tower all his life, protected, never having to face the challenges of life of ordinary citizens. Far more removed than his father. He is the quintessential rich man's son, pampered, elitist, and terribly naive. Then he inherits the company and wrecks it in a mere few years. We've seen this story played out enough times already to know how it goes.

science has nothing to do with consensus a bunch of experts believing something doesn't make it true science is about challenging consensus that's how all great breakthroughs happen Galileo knows if science was done by consensus we'd never learn anything new and default to the status quo that's scientific stagnation

What the hell are you talking about? Do you actually speak as weirdly as you write to people in the real world? Would you PLEASE suggest some so we can get a better sense of where on Earth you're coming from?

being dead or poor ain't prosperity if you can't understand how human success makes your life better no one can convince you that it does you just assume that living and succeeding is bad for the planet, so you cheer on death and poverty and when you've invested so much of your identity into thinking you're right about that you will never admit you are wrong no matter what the environment is just a buzzword you use to make your hatred of humans palatable to the rubes

I agree, which is why Trudeau shouldn’t have called the mandate protesters names.

you know how great the truckers are ? all my American family & friends look to the Canadian truckers for inspiration they are all put to shame they wish they were as bad ass as the Canadian truckers you ever heard of Americans saying they wish they were as bad ass as anything Canadian ? well I have the truckers are not the fringe they got over one hundred million American conservatives right behind them this trucker party is international, both sides of the longest undefended border in the world the Liberal NDP regime is going down in flames with the Democrat traitors to the republic then its gonna be payback time free all the slaves everywhere, or die trying death to the plantation aristocracies

What's your opinion? Is the Canadian system of parliamentarism better or worse than the American system of strong presidential power? In the American system you can't remove the President in the middle of the term unless you can claim that he has broken the law and that is a complicated process. In the Canadian system and in every parliamentary system you can remove the PM if he is useless and you believe someone else can do a better job.

The ethics violation was a visit to the head of one of the world's great religious movements who was also a family friend. The blackface incidents occurred before that activity was seen as an offence. I too, wore black make-up in a school play. There was no groping incident, just an unfounded accusation made by a reporter, which the alleged victim firmly denied. If you want a real scandal ridden government, just cast your mind back to Mike Pearson's government when there were five separate scandals going on at the same time or the 1925 customs scandal. There are valid criticisms that can be directed the policies of the government but the stuff like the trumped up stuff in the passage I quoted is pitiful.

none the less, I believe that the trucker, farmer, soldier coalition will stand and it will be a formidable force because unlike the urbane elites truckers, farmers & soldiers are loyal to Her Majesty we are the salt o' the Canadian earth truckers, farmers, soldiers, roughnecks, lumberjacks & fishermen when Her Majesty invokes "Canadian" she is talking about us these urbane Liberal NDP elties in the cities they are a people without a history, nothing to kill & die for truckers, farmers, soldiers roughnecks, lumberjacks & fishermen upon the heights of Queenston upon the heights of VImy Ridge what urbane leftist elties would be amongst us in the breach ? none of course because they would not kill & die for anything never mind kill & die for the story of our people a Scots German Empire, to find a Northwest Passage Victoria Hanover, Queen & Empress Mother Canada

It is a matter of fact lol.. Not being argumentative at all.. you seem to suggest that SDGs aren't a real thing and Trudeau didn't say he was using covid to push his economic agenda... which evidently is destroying our economy and about to cause a housing burst on the magnitude the size of the great depression. Hey at least you are a good person for obeying the propaganda tho

What about not allowing our housing to be used for foreign money laundering? Created a very volatile situation

You've really diluted yourself to think that those that don't think like you lack the critical thought to know better. It's pathetic arrogance.

It's a Devil you know situation. I personally voted for the Liberals in September because the CPC was courting support from Anti-Vaxxers. And they continue to show sympathy to the Convoyers. I don't want the Canada those people want. I also won't support PP.

Principals get you 5% popular vote, ask the PPC.

I think the governed are worse because they want the government to take away people's rights to implement centrally planned boondoggles if they didn't, then the government would be punished by the electorate for doing so instead of rewarded

I think you overstate her power.

Meh...I dont need a monarch to tell me what's right or wrong.

Buddy you asked me specifically for another example of proposed inciting then accuse me of whataboutism for giving you one. Are you for real? They want to indict Trump for inciting but he never did it. Meanwhile they ignore the guy who actually was inciting as shown on multiple examples of video evidence. I'm not sure what your problem is. That it happened or that I noticed?
