Maybe Trudeau thinks the social media format appeals to Trump and Congress better than diplomats and trade reps. Just for openers, the U.S. is going to go for a hard beat down on softwood lumber.

New Congress has far more important issues and priorities than these two stiffs in a condescending video. Welcome and congratulate the 115th Congress? Are they kidding ? I've seen better cue card reading on late night infomercials. Edited January 5, 2017 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Congress will watch it right after "Top 100 Fireworks Fails 2016" and the latest Mark Dice videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bush_cheney2004 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 China is now the USA's #1 trading partner...not Canada. I wonder if China will send a similar video to the 115th Congress, "welcoming" them ? Trump has plans for China too, but they are not groveling at his feet.

That was his big mistake. If I were a liberal I too would feel uncomfortable right now. The liberals are being called out now on all the years that they ran the show, and how they showed anyone who did not agree with them just how bigoted and intolerant they can be. It is time for a little payback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 YouTube and other sites are having fun with Trudeau's pathetic video "welcoming" the 115th U.S. Congress.

If you knew this video's gonna be making the rounds on youtube - wouldn't you've made sure it was professionally done? Who came up with this idea?

If we add up all the times Harper flew to Toronto to watch a Leafs game it probably is 2-3 times what the anti-Trudeau dipwads at Ezra's toilet paper rag are saying about Trudeau. This is nonsense.

Flying across the country to go skiing isn't a vacation? By all means, if there is evidence that Harper averaged a vacation every month and a half present it........regardless, Harper is no longer the Prime Minister.

Smallc Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, Derek 2.0 said: Here and here.......... Last Christmas and New Years, Trudeau and his family were is in St. Kitts, a tropical paradise. So that's a year ago Last winter Trudeau and family took a ski and snowboard trip to Whistler and another trip to Quebec City for carnival. Visiting events in his country isn't necessarily a vacation. There was his Easter vacation on Fogo Island, a remote and elite spot in Newfoundland where hotel rooms start at $1,575 a night. That's two in a year. There was his famous shirtless photobombing while taking a surfing trip to Tofino, British Columbia. That's 3 And now, New Years in the Bahamas. So that's 4 in more than a year. On top of that we can add in an extra day in Japan for the Trudeau’s to celebrate their wedding anniversary which actually happened when they were back in Canada. No, we really can't - he worked before and after that single day. And we can add an extra day in New York City to see the musical Hamilton. Not really, no - an extra day tacked on to work is not a vacation. Before news of the Bahamas trip broke CBC reported that Trudeau reimbursed taxpayers for nine private trips, add in Bahamas and he is at ten vacations. I wonder what other leaps of logic we can make?
