Hal 9000

Well, 2 hours would've been twice as long to focus on the topics - wouldn't it? What's with all the insults? If I said that....

So, Now that we Justin Trudeau as PM, the moderating will be tighter than when Harper was in power? What a strange coincidence!

They should have made the show 2 hours and had more in depth talk about those issues- why do you have a problem with that concept? And, isn't the bolded a reportable offence. I think you should remove that - it's hurtful

Well, I guess I can forgive that!

Of course he's more accessible, that's his thing. We'll be seeing him on "Dancing with the stars" soon, and I won't give a rats arse then either, as long as he's doing his job.

Another weird comment! Is somebody actually blaming Trudeau for the show being limited to an hour? You should point out who did that!

I guess I misspoke calling him premier - I hope you enjoy the victory. The TV show was about 5 minute segment and half of that was Mansbridge talking to Trudeau - I knew you didn't read post #48. As I said twice - now 3 times, my issue is that I would've liked to see more time spent with each topic.

Sitting across from the premier only to have him shrug his shoulders and say "hang in there" should be embarrasing for Trudeau. Second, I couldn't give a crap about what JT will do, that Harper wouldn't, as I said, my issue is that at 5 minutes per, it didn't go deep enough.

It doesn't sound as funny as Brooklyn 99.

If you don't hear from me for a month, you'll know.

What a weird comment, almost as if you didn't read or intentionally misinterpreted my thought.

Hillary is a relic of the 90's and so are her followers.

She's more manly than Obama.

Wow, I thought that was Donald for a minute.

I agree, I was pointing more to Hillary's demographic being older women. But yeah, younger people of both sexes are leaning away from Hillary and towards Sanders. Young people are inherently socialist by nature.

Pro-d days here are generally set-up on a friday, therefore giving a nice long weekend for our teachers to unwind from their 24 hour work week. Sometimes you can spot them on the golf course or ski hill.

I couldn't give a good god damn what he is called. The lefties outrage or discomfort over this is a joke and I'm treating it as such.

Each segment was about 5 mins. from beginning to end. Between some of these people rambling (like the college student) and Trudeau stuttering, what did we really get out of it? - Not a lot. Most people here, regardless of political leaning could've answered those questions just as well - or as poorly depending on you POV. It needed to be about a 2hour show. P.S - If an oil worker who was working 4 days a month asked me what he should do, I would suggest he find where to best transfer his skills or use the time to upgrade or readjust his trade. Literally giving a guy the "hang in there" cliche was shocking...at best.

If Sanders is a self-proclaimed socialist, Surely Hillary will pander to anyone right of that - and that does include bankers. She has been masterful at lining her pockets and extending her political career despite being the embodiment of what people hate about politicians. She has the middle age and older women vote for sure, the younger women who aren't as invested in her see right through her though.

Just an amusing anecdote I was thinking about; I had this co-worker back in the 90's - a white dude (haven't seen him in nearly 20 years), he made no secret that in his opinion women (especially western women) were less than men, were there for sexual favours, cooking, cleaning and nothing more. He even told women this, girlfriends etc, and he always had women hanging off him. He would tell people quite seriously about how good the impending muslim takeover was gonna be because they'd clean up the feminists and bring the world back to the man. I can only make an educated guess that he'd be Ok with the removal of homosexuals too. When I see women defending the muslim immigration to Canada, I think about that dude and what he must be thinking right now.

They want free university tuition. They are having a mini-rally about this in some universities this week. Students are allowed/encouraged to skip classes to attend.

Well then, from now on I'll expect you, cyber, Waldo and Smallc to type out either "Justin Trudeau" or "Pierre Trudeau" in full. Just so there is no misunderstanding. No 'Justin", no "JT" and certainly no "Trudeau Jr." because those are disrespectful.

Ok, I'm confused, which Trudeau are we talking about now?

And many people just called Bush Jr. Dubya.

It's gonna be tough for the one woman to explain why he roughed her up and she had at least 2 more dates with him.
