dialamah Posted May 22, 2017 Report Posted May 22, 2017 Goes along with our culture of celebrity worship. Trump got elected on it and O'Leary tricked his believers on it. Its not so much JT is shallow, but that our society is and he's using that.

I think that our feminist PM thinks that having more women and minorities and less white men in his cabinet is great for his party and Canada, eh?
Guest Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 Good article about JT, and his socks. https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2017/07/justin-trudeau-wants-the-west-to-worship-at-his-feet/ Liberals freaked out by Brexit and convinced Trump is a tangerine Hitler cling to Trudeau like Rose to that door at the end of Titanic. Hahaha

It will take some work to revive it but JT is getting there. In his year he has done tours to the G20 and Commonwealth summits, the Paris climate summit, hosted the 3 Amigos, greatly improved relations with the US, impressed the G7 members by his performance at that summit in Japan, and showed renewed interest and participation at the UN. How's Trump doing so far? A totally demonstrateable, proveable confabulation. http://business.financialpost.com/fp-comment/canada-regains-title-of-most-reputable-nation-despite-harper-derangement-frenzy

Yes, that did cause Canada a loss of standing with Muslim countries, and for the first time ever lost the rotating security council seat. Thanks to Paul Martin. If Harper had his way in the lead-up to the 2008 recession, he would have destroyed this country. He wanted to allow Canadian financial institutions to gamble with their depositors money. Unlike Martin who stole 53 billion in ei reserves then his government was charged with making it impossible to get benefits. Actual Canadians who paid in and needed it at the worst time. Or the $153,000 he claimed in government contracts when it was over $153,000,000, done when he was minister of finance. Oops! Speaking of that, the drs, nurses, teachers, Healthcare in general....in fact everything that got slashed because of him. Martin has my vote, which is saying something as I truly despise JT.

Ffs. His finance minister Martin decimated Healthcare, education, infrastructure.....everything that could be decimated and this is your gold standard? Ridiculous.

How much did you say Harper "stole". 53 billion? Did the SCC say Harper broke the law? The liberals did.

Do you agree with the use of ei funds to balance the budget and making it impossible for ppl to get benefits after putting so many ppl out of work. Stats show other countries curbed their debts during this period without such draconian measures.

-TSS- Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 I get the impression from this forum that Mulroney isn't very fondly remembered in Canada. If I am right then why is it so? He won two elections, the first with a landslide, so what turned him unpopular in the end?

Chrétien, not Harper, led the way on fighting deficits and he got the job done. Chretien did not give a damn about the deficit or the budget. Chretien did not have any vision or ideas and there was nothing he particularly wanted to do as prime minister. Like Donald Trump, he simply wanted the title. He was a political weasel and all he cared about was politics and winning. He let Martin do what he wanted because there was no viable opposition, and even after the money started rolling in he just let it pile up because he saw it as ammunition that he could use at election time should the opposition get its act together. As for Martin, once he became PM and faced an actual united conservative party with a real threat against him he opened the taps wide and offered up everything in that election but a free toaster for every vote. His promises, had he won and had he actually lived up to them, would have returned us to deficits.
