It's not a case of smearing her. It's the fact that when asked if he knew of those incidents when he chose Payette, Trudeau repeatedly refused to answer. Canadians are entitled to know these answers.
Why? Canadians shouldn't even have known about the charges. They were not only dropped, but expunged. They're irrelevant.

That's because they assume he was actually guilty:

I'm afraid I have trouble believing the phony accounting they're coming up with to represent our actual defense spending. I have a feeling they'll soon be including Trudeau's bodyguards, and the little huts they stand in outside 24 Sussex as they keep trying to increase our perceived spending.
I'll believe it after it's actually spent.
The numbers displayed are the DND budget, not the reported defence spending. The accounting method we were using and reporting to NATO with was not as generous as that used by many of our allies. That means our totals were, according to the Deputy Minister, relatively under stated.

According to The Rebel and The Fraser Institute Canada will be giving away more of our hard earned Canadian money once again to other foreign countries who do not deserve it. The following are some of the countries that will be getting your tax dollars:
(1)$13 million tax dollars to help Vietnamese farmers.
(2)$15 million tax dollars for job training in Africa.
(3)$14.25 million tax dollars to help Indonesia and it's infrastructure problems.
That's literally pocket change
Quote(4)2.65 billion tax dollars to some countries to help fight global warming.
And fully 50% of this total is actually money promised by one Stephen Joseph Harper in Copenhagen in 2009.

Their 'plan' to spend more on DND, isn't really going to get into gear until after the next election - presuming they actually ever carry it out. It's noteworthy that Trump will need to be elected before then, too. I think this is just Trudeau's way of buying time, and will be abandoned if Trump loses the next election.
That's what everyone keeps saying - reality is different:

The budget is in fact $1.7B higher ($1.2B higher than it would have otherwise been) this year on a case basis.

WND is not a site for legitimate news btw.

Considering Greg, that you feel it necessary to insult someone with every single post you grave us with (it just happened to be me in this case) it's quite clear that we wouldn't have an adult to run to anyway. I'll again show myself the door.

The problem with that is the person moderating the forum most of the time is not in fact an adult. I'll show myself the door.

The IRA was never a Christian terrorist group, and narrow focused its attentions on the British military and police, and the members of Protestant militant groups, and it's no longer in operation.. The KKK is already in America and has no international links that I'm aware of, so I don't see why the US would be concerned about them flying in, and the Sons of Odin/Soldiers of Odin is not, as far as I know, a terrorist group. They do sort of vigilante street patrols in Finland because they say Muslims are raping Finnish girls.
So... yeah, you better find more.
Lol at the IRA not being a Christian terrorist group.

Ya it did....Islam and the west had everything to do with this.......you want to talk honestly then talk....but you can't leave the two elephants in the room and not mention them....it is now a contest to see you can kill or convert or recruit more people to do more violence.....any where in the west.....or middle east.
The tragedy in Quebec is not a contest. This is a story of people going bout their lives being killed by someone full of hate.

There's a reason for that, and it has nothing to do with Islamophobia, or Xenophobia, or any other phobia. Whenever something like this happens, regardless of whether a Muslim is the perpetrator, victim, or both, the absolutely mind boggling excesses of the Islamic religion will always find their way into the conversation. They can't be kept out of it.
I don't agree with that. Islam didn't cause this.
-
All of those things are possible - but I really don't see why it had to be made public.
-
And again, we're talking about bad Muslims in a thread where a bunch of good Muslims we're killed by a bad white French speaking guy.

Reality is we could do alot better .....lets talk refugee for a min, what happened to all those that we interviewed , but had no papers or ID's because they were lost or destroyed in the conflict, or so the story goes
If there are gaps in your story or history, you don't get in. Remember, these refugees have already been vetted by the UN. Both the Obama and Trump administration have said they have no problem with our process. Some US Senators actually wanted to add parts of our process to theirs.
Canada has what is probably the most successful system of immigration and refugee settlement in the world.

I think that saying that isn't the experience of individual Muslim people is applying a pretty broad brush too. I would suggest it is the experience of many individual Muslim people.
Not only that, but I would suggest that there are many other individual Muslim people who support the notion that it should be, too.
When you have 1.5 billion, and many (most?) of them live in countries where such things are viewed as normal, it seems to me that would be the case.
You're probably right (though I'm not sure how you can broad brush an individual). The reality is, we've done a a pretty good job of picking immigrants, based on our outcomes.

Are you saying you can be a muslim without the islamic faith
No - I'm saying that individual Muslims live and experience their faith in different ways, just as is true with individual Christians.
3 minutes ago, Army Guy said:How is that working out....lets see we had the TALIBAN....then Al Qadia.....then ISIS, and ISIL those guys have some wicked interpretation.....not to mention the mostly muslim countries and each of their interpretations....
This is the problem - you can't broad brush all Muslim people as Taliban supporters or ISIS supporters - they aren't.
4 minutes ago, Army Guy said:SO what is it.....can you be muslim , but not directly tied to islam, or is all this just everyone's interpretation of islam and its hard to do as it was written so long ago.....
Well, it's all made up nonsense, so yeah, that last part.
3 minutes ago, Army Guy said:you can't compare......it's apples and oranges....we are not a muslim country....
And that is part of my point - we're not a Muslim country and our immigration system has created a peaceful multicultural society, so there's no need for fear mongering.

Uhm, you don't think he could cancel the FTA just as fast as he cancels the the NAFTA?
Why would he? The USA and Canada have almost completely balanced trade. He didn't mention us once.
4 minutes ago, Argus said:And yes, Canada is their number one export market, but exports are not as important to them, and we are nowhere near as high a percentage of their export market as they are of ours.
We are a large market for those 35 states. That there are 15 other states including California makes it look like we're less important than we are. To those 35 states, we're a big deal.

Economic interests are always sneered at by the Left as grubby and of little importance
Who did that?
4 minutes ago, Argus said:And whose interests was he serving in offering up Canada to the world of migrants and taunting Trump? Given no Canadian is excluded from the US by this order?
So, first who did that first thing? Trudeau merely reiterated long standing government policy.
Second, who did that second thing? There was no taunt.
Third, as has already been explained multiple times - there were many Canadians affected when he made the tweet.

Today, Kate Purchase, the Prime Minister's communications director wrote Fox News a needlessly wordy and long letter asking them to remove a tweet that named Belkhadir as one of the suspects in the Quebec City Mosque massacre.
I have 3 problems with this:
1 ) The letter did not need to be made public - it could have been kept private and had the same effect (the tweet was removed)
2 ) The government shouldn't be sending out letters like this that are essentially threats since they hold the licensing authority over Fox (Andrew Coyne made me realize this)
3 ) Other media organizations had the same incorrect info. I've seen some of them correct it tonight. Either the government didn't bother to check those other sources, didn't care about those other sources, or kept their letters private. Either way, I don't like it.
Don't get me wrong - I'm glad the false info was corrected. I just don't see the need for this action.

Quite the assumption - are you prepared to back it up?
There's no way he should be commenting on a record that was expunged.
