Trump is getting approval for his buildings around the world. Leaders are doing this right now so they will be favoured. Too bad Canada has due process that makes it hard to roll over for Trump in Vancouver and Toronto, eh? But, of course, Trump will thump Trudeau because of Trudeau's statement on Castro's demise.

Additional context and cite: http://pm.gc.ca/eng/news/2016/11/27/prime-minister-announces-significant-support-international-aid-while-attending-xvi I like facts.

Trudeau has not done enough to indicate competence or incompetance, for that matter. [Partially retract this: the fact he won a majority over Harper shows some kind of competence] That would be an issue for a different thread. This one is about stupid things stated by heads of state and how their humiliation in social media will supposedly lead to poor negotiations or something along those lines....

Agreed. Trump is going to become a real billionnaire with real money (rather than the fanciful goodwill of his name being worth $3 billion) all thanks to American voters. Smrt!

I have stated that Trudeau's statement is stupider than the stupid statement Harper made in his "mourning" for his great King of Saudi Arabia. So, no, I' m being irritating and annoying. But, of course, I'm not annoying to the left because they agree what Trudeau has stated was stupid and will be forgotten like Harper's stupid statement re: King Abdullah. It is those on the right who are irritated when I show them: meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Oh, and great intellectual minds like Kevin O'Leary! /sarcasm

Did Godzilla grab Bambi by the pussy? ETA: this is an example of why Trump's humiliating "grab them by the pussy" is going to be so bad for him compared to Trudeau's idiotic statement which is too complicated to last long in the memories of most people because it cannot be turned into a very simple self referential phrase like "grab her by the pussy" is. But yeah, Trudeau should be so, so, so cowed by the pussygrabber!

The lesson? Partisans are dickheads!

If the politicians of TO were smart, and they are not, they would read this about congestion charges in Stockholm: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1629882 Who knows, maybe they could make it palpable for people.

Sort of like when people fill their tanks with fungible gas they are giving their money to ISIS and Saudi Arabia etc etc. So you were just driving to the local beach and were out the next week. Sad!

You mean Trudeau of the #trudeaueulogy twitter humiliation will be dealing with Trump of the #BillyBushMadeMeDoIt twitter humiliation? You remember that episode right? That's where a D rated star made Trump say "grab them by the pussy." Hell, I'd take Harper's gaffe of longing mourning for his King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia over the pussy grabber any day and every day.

Already brought up in another thread. And likely to be forgotten just like Harper's upon the death of a King of Saudi Arabia in early 2015.

Because pointing out facts that make others feel uncomfortable is "changing the channel." Maybe take a look at my interests over here <-------------------------------------------------------------

Which compares earily in a similar fashion to stupid things said by the previous guy but you would rather have us forget that Harper "mourned" the loss of an unelected King in a totalitarian land called Saudi Arabia at the beginning of 2015. Take off the partisan blinkers.

Well, he should be because his statement is as foolish as Trudeau's. And your partisan hypocrisy continues to shine in this thread.

The topic of the thread is stupid things stated by a sitting PM. Harper has stated things, officially, in the past on par with what Trudeau has stated and you put on your partisan blinkers. Sort of like this:

The media, and elected officials, have been slow to take to social media until 2016 so I'm not surprised at all by the difference. The hypocrisy on display within this thread also is of no surprise.....

As I'm sure anyone from Saudi Arabia would feel about Harper's mouning for their King who was responsible for some deaths too (and who knows, maybe knew more about 9/11 than he let on. )

We Canadians joined with Saudis in the passing of their King? Really? Well, okay, I'm sure Harper mourned the old King but Laureen? Nah, I'm sure she's smarter than that. And Saudi's? What choice did they have with their old king? And their current one?

Then there is Senator Leo Housakos who tweeted this : .@tedcruz Sadly, our @CanadianPM has no respect for our democratic way of life and basic human rights and freedom. https://twitter.com/senatorhousakos/status/802626758918995968 Yes, our PM has no respect for basic human rights and freedom because he posted an "eulogy" about Castro.

You are correct, this is not the first time, nor the last, that a CDN politician has said something stupid after the demise of a foreign leader. And here we have Harper's statement about the death of the King of Saudi Arabia in 2015: http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=924869 Ottawa, Ontario - 22 January 2015 Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement on the death of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia: “On behalf of all Canadians, Laureen and I offer our sincere condolences to the family of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and the people of Saudi Arabia. “King Abdullah was recognized as a strong proponent of peace in the Middle East. He also undertook a range of important economic, social, education, health, and infrastructure initiatives in his country. “I had the pleasure of meeting King Abdullah in Toronto when Canada hosted the G-20 and found him to be passionate about his country, development and the global economy. “We join the people of Saudi Arabia in mourning his passing.”

Atheism is simply the non-belief of a god or the god. Absence of belief due to lack of credible evidence. There is nothing more to it than that. In fact, you believe in one more god than I do. Maybe try picking a different one for a moment and see how easy it is for you to be an atheist about the one you currently believe in. Yet, you are an atheist about the thousands of others gods you choose to ignore.
