No I am business man that sees canada and the provinces in big trouble because of left wing policies. That is why vancouver people are paying 1,47/L. To stupid to realize their anti pipeline attitude, is causing them a lot of problems. We need oil they need oil and we sell at $30 less a barrel because of these idiotic policies. And they knew a refinery was to go down for maintenance and they had no back up plan. And because of that they have more tanker traffic, something they wanted stopped. All we need is alberta to cut off all oil and show them what will happen. Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

What did you right wing government do for a decade? Absolutely SFA, so stop whining about left wing polices.

Justin Trudeau has continued the family tradition of pandering to regional conflict(s) for political gain while undermining Canada's economic competitiveness, just like his father. The selfie bloom is off, and now his leadership is being seriously questioned by many Canadians. Economics trumps Virtue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One cannot be taken seriously when criticizing Mulroney for the FTA while supporting the TPP, which is FTA on steroids. (Blaming Harper is cute....Harper also did the CETA heavy lifting.) Trudeau's other social and environmental agenda items will not increase competitiveness or stop the flight of foreign capital to other nations. No big deal right ?

You have failed to point out the Trudeau policies that have had a negative impact on the Canadian economy. Provide specific examples of a Trudeau policy, and how it has had an impact on the economy. The old "left bad", "right good" bullshyte is just that. I have spoken out against the TPP, but remember it is not a Trudeau creation. How it will actually play out is still unknown, so academic discussions of a Harper plan blamed on Trudeau are meaningless drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that is a global issue. Certainly employment is something that can be compared, but then lets compare it to say Harper and Trudeau (both of them) suddenly appear to be geniuses.

Yes, in the bizillions of hours on film you might catch a few moments where he misspeaks but these examples only prove your extreme bias. I doubt you watched the videos. Your obvious extreme bias prevents you from acknowledging that these repeated "deer in the headlights" reactions clearly indicate his inability to grasp issues. Never has a leader been so "scripted" - mind numbing talking points and reading prepared spin comments. Paul Martin, Jean Chretien, Stephen Harper - heck, even Stephan Dion were able to speak "off the cuff" to reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess you think that Elon Musk must be the most challenged to communicate incoherent person around, not fit for any type of leadership position. You don't have to cherry pick any examples from him, listen to anything he says. I could however cherry pick from Harper, Dion, Martin, Chretien, or anyone else and provide you samples of them misspeaking or struggling to get together words. Go back to the interview Mansbridge did of Harper before the 2015 election for an example. Edited March 13, 2018 by ?Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the electorate appear to be just as ignorant of the issues and quite willing to vote on emotion, impulse, good looks, and talking points. That's the biggest problem with democracy. There is no requirement for any kind of knowledge. People are told to get out and vote, do their duty as if this is all that matters. Ignorance doesn't matter. At least it's better than China's or Russia's one-man dictatorship, which they are stuck with permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudeau has no plans to meet with the Belgian royal couple, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, or their delegation of 150 business leaders, academics and political leaders, who arrived Sunday.
