All you have is baseless accusations and a complete lack of interest in understanding anything. There's a saying that you can always get 50% of the poor people to kill the other 50%. It's because they are just looking for someone to blame for their situation. This is a classic case of someone forming an opinion based on a complete lack of objectivity and then...

It's no myth. Trudeau jumped on the soapbox and said his family didn't need childcare help from the gov't and then they jumped at it the first chance he got. That right there is the definition of hypocrisy whether you want to admit it or not. He has enough money to pay for nannies himself, and then Sophie can have the help she so desperately needs to save our country.

Not as bad as trump imo. And at least DC is smart enough to know that he's not the guy to run for office.

No matter. The fact is that they don't get less staff, they just have different job descriptions.

3 plus 2 nannies? Or 3 plus 0 nannies?

I don't know anyone who agrees with Don Cherry the majority of the time, but almost everyone appreciates his honesty. He doesn't take the time to filter his opinions down to fit within the CBC's guidelines. It's ok within the confines of hockey (usually) but his bombast and his lack of tact and diplomacy is too much for politics. Just like Trump. I'm confident that he wouldn't get elected to anything higher than city councellor. Mike Duffy always looks like he just came out of an adult superstore with his rabbi/priest/imam staring at him. His political career is over before it begins.

Common conservative mistake lol. I recognize that as your weak attempt at a comeback but truthfully it's not actually a mistake for a voter in this country to have an opinion. Furthermore, you're not the country either so don't try telling me what "the country" thinks. The country is having a laugh at her expense. #prayforsophie The other spouses got an assistant, she got an assistant, that's fair. She also got two nannies off the public dime just a few months after her husband proclaimed for all the world to hear that families like his didn't need family support from the gov't. Of course you don't see the irony in that, I won't bother to explain it to you.

I don't know enough about all the previous PM's to declare a worst, but Trudeau's kindergarten teacher mentality leaves him dangerously ill-equipped to deal with the real world.

You have no grounds to insinuate that I'm a misogynist, and fyi the fact that you're a liberal isn't a license to fabricate. Your debating tactics aren't even fit for a sandbox smallc. What do you mean by "we obviously expect more"? I don't expect anything from her. I don't think she brings anything to the table and she's not an elected official. I'm absolutely against her getting access to more public funding so that she can wander around the country blathering like a Mrs Trudeau. The people who want her services can pay for them or go without, it's as simple as that. It's actually quite pathetic that she would even ask. Like I said before other Canadians do their volunteering and charity work at their own expense. Or in the case of Justin Trudeau they take gobs of money for it, even when they're already on the public payroll. Go #prayforsophie. lol

That's just another example of liberals crying wolf. If she was a he then the sentence would read "his part is to be a husband and father until he gets a paying gig". Pretty simple imo.

The Canadian version of Donald Trump would probably be Don Cherry lol. While DC is well-loved by Canadians I don't think there are 20,000 people in this country who would vote for him to be pm.

"Her part" is to be a wife and mother until she gets a paying gig. If people want to pay her for her services that's between them and her, but it's not up to the taxpayers to pay her to do anything, or to pay for her to have extra staff so that she can "volunteer". Tens of thousands of Canadians do volunteer work. Almost everyone I know does a bit of something. It comes at personal costs. I don't get the gov't to pay people to do my work for me so that I can go do some shameless self-promotion.

Wrongo. Whether or not people want her to speak on their behalf, it's not up to the public to fund her. She's no different than your next-door neighbour. If she wants to hire people to help get her work done she can but she has no right to ask Canadians for money. We never elected her and she doesn't act in an official capacity.

"It" is also just a figment of the imagination too often is what I said. 1) carding isn't a big deal and 2) you don't know why police officers card the people they do. They go out on patrol and they have people of interest to look for in certain areas. "A ________ male approx xx-xx+5 yrs old wearing ____________. Standing ______ feet tall and weighing approx _____ lbs. Ever watched the first 48 or anything lie that? Police are always on the lookout for a certain description in a certain area. Wearing ________ is never "a suit". Anyone who dresses or acts like a punk in an area where there is a lot of crime is going to get carded frequently, regardless of any other factors.

Wow jacee, you just proved that every police officer in north america is racist with that post. Good going! (just kidding) Politically "correct" is actually a misnomer. "Politically paranoid/delusional with an imaginary license to pontificate no matter how idiotic your storyline happens to be" is the more accurate description of what we are talking about. BLM is the poster child for it. Some people see exactly what they want to see. If you wanted to see ghosts and you stayed a cemetery or haunted house overnight for sure you would "see" one. Maybe even a racist one. But you wouldn't actually see one. If you want to see racism you can find evidence of it everywhere. White people commit acts of racism against me every day, I just happen to be white so from my pov they're just assholes. And guess what? They're not even all assholes. Sometimes people are just impatient, stupid, ignorant, having a bad day/hour, whatever. I'm usually very polite but I've done things that pissed off other drivers before too. From my personal experience female police officers are surprisingly rude and lack reasonable judgement, but I've only encountered two personally. Are they sexist? Was the indo-canadian one racist? My first guess is that they were just bad at their jobs. I just let them power trip for a bit and nothing bad happened. If I was a BLM'er my job in those instances would be to report the more damning evidence of those encounters, scream blue murder if anyone brought up any video evidence to the contrary, and cause public mayhem to prove my righteous indignation. Then sit back and wait for the kudos from the potus.

When you're talking about the "Black Lives Matter" group it's probably sorta on topic to talk about black people don't you think moonbeam? It's kind of hard to avoid, like talking about milk without saying homo, skimmed, 1% or 2%. Furthermore, the BLM people don't give a crap about white people killed by police. You're actually off on a tangent bringing up people of other ethnicities. Moonbox are you saying that black men don't go to frat parties? That seems pretty racist to me. Anyhoo... If you're trying to suggest that "uncooperative" means the exact same thing in every situation, and that it's always at the exact same level of civil disobedience, then you're quite wrong. For example "hostility and violence" are not the same as "drunk and disorderly" although you are correct to say that they both fit somewhat loosely under the umbrella of "uncooperative" with police. No comment necessary lol. Not at all. The "progressives" are just tough to pin down to serious conversation. They like to bring straw men and skewed logic into every debate to cry "racism" and the like. EG, when a person says that "uncooperatives" get shot by police, which means that drunks at a keg party should get shot just as often as sober men acting with hostility and violence towards police... Should a person really make that kind of claim in a legitimate debate to bring the question of racism into it? I missed the discussion where people were advocating the deportation of all muslims from Canada. Can you provide the link? This is a perfect example of "progressives" using the racism accusation to quell free speech lol. You see moonbox, you can't just bring statistics into an argument to prove your point and then completely disqualify statistics, which are directly related, just because they don't work out in your favour. That's what's going on in the BLM debates constantly. I'm sure that you would agree that the people of the BLM movement have displayed overt aggression & hostility, committed acts of violence, they have made calls for murder, and have justified the murders of police. You recall that their co-leader (now we are back on your topic of muslims for a second moonbeam) tweeted "Allah please give me the strength to not cuss/kill these white folks"? You can easily google that quote, I don't have a link here. The BLM movement is setting a terrible example for people to follow, and they are certainly not benevolent. If they cared more about black lives than they did about hatred and violence the their public persona would be completely different. If my kid was black I would do everything I could to ensure that they didn't act like any of those idiots. A person like Jarome Iginla would be able to succeed in any walk of life. Smilers never lose, frowners never win. Another straw man lol. Noone said that police shoot people based on stats, as if they have to fill some kind of quota.

Who are the ones that "don't ever pay taxes"? Link please.

This was only ever a story because the CBC, Trudeau and Mulcair wanted it to be a story. The CBC got their $650M payoff as soon as Trudeau was elected. Keep in mind this was over NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Just one session of parliament being wasted on this topic cost more than $90,000. This was like spending $5M on a divorce attorney to fight over a coffee table. Trudeau's nannies will cost the taxpayers several times more than $90K over the next few years and he said that families like his and PM Harper's family don't need help from the gov't to look after their kids. Why is this story astronomically bigger than the sponsorship scandal was? Paul Martin was much closer to the PMO as finance minister than Duffy was as a senator. The money was deliberately and directly misspent by the gov't in that case, it's not just some bogus travel claims. Is Trudeau's bungling of $30,000,000,000 this year not a bigger story than the missing $90K? If every senator misspent $90K we would need 333,000 of them to waste money like Trudeau.

Political correctness is when "special interest groups" get to make whatever claims they want, real or imagined, about the "majority" but it is considered horribly inappropriate to point out the obvious flaws or double standards in their agendas.

The main problem that I have with self-appointed politically correct people is the level of stupidity and naiveté. I can handle any legitimate beef with this country but it always seems like the empty vessels are making the most "politically correct" noise. The #blacklivesmatter campaign is a perfect example. I know it's mainly an american issue but it has spilled across the border now. The "gentle giant" riot in the states was utter garbage. The media saw a chance to blow that story out of proportion and make millions of dollars in the process and so they tweaked it a bit and then lent the holy wand of political correctness to some malcontents who tried to sell us the narrative that policemen are the lowest form of life here. Barack Obama even backed them on it. Theoretically there were hundreds of witnesses to police misconduct but guess what? It was late in 2014 and in every crowd of "100's" there were 100 people with smartphones to record it, and no one did. It's like when big bird saw the snuffleupagus "every day" and never thought to snap a pic. There was however footage of the gentle giant committing a violent robbery minutes before he was shot. Remember the hue and cry of "you can't show that video footage on TV! What purpose does that serve? The police are the only enemy here!" Now we have those idiots protesting up here. Even after their "leader", Yusra Khogali, tweeted, "Plz Allah give me strength to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today. Plz plz plz." somehow they still try to cling to the notion of political correctness. Ironically #blacklivesmatter is teaching young black men to be disrespectful, hostile and even violent to police and guess what the inevitable outcome of that is going to be? Less policing in their neighbourhoods and more legitimate incidents of police shooting young black men. Political correctness doesn't need to go away imo, the msm just needs to get a clue.

I don't think that the "full ride" given to 1st nations people is actually helping many of them. People who feel like they have to pull their own fat out of the fire seem to be doing much better. What's so wrong with the same set of benefits that the rest of us enjoy anyways? Health care, unemployment insurance when you need it for a while, CPP etc...

LOL, too funny. Now can you predict that Trudeau steps down in a few months and lets someone with more experience take over? Like a full-time kindergarten teacher, or even a principal.

Here's something for you to remember: those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. You didn't have to tell me that, I already knew that you couldn't see things adding up eyeball.

Glass houses, stones..? What's your plan? Stop driving and stop using everything that's made of petroleum products? Buy all of our oil from the Saudis?

This one post epitomizes your level of understanding of that entire other thread eyeball. What happened 1,500 years ago is not about a "grudge" against one person eyeball. It's about "what do certain people aspire to". Then there is some evidence of what happens when people do in fact aspire to that model of behaviour. You see eyeball, if someone wants to be like _____________ you can guess what kinds of things they are going to attempt to do. Insert the names of any one of Wayne Gretzky, Jim Carey, Adolf Hitler, Buddha, Mike Tyson, J.R.R. Tolkien, Nic Tesla, JFK, Oprah, Guy Fieri... Now do you understand? I was talking about patterns and ideologies but you seem to talk in terms of individuals.
