If they are true to form, the eco-nuts will be out in force with their "civil disobedience". If Trudeau allows them to stall the project, he will pay a big price come election day. It's Canadians who own the pipeline now - not Liberals - and we expect the government to uphold the rule of law and do what they said they'd do on behalf of Canadians - and that's to build the pipeline. It's a mess of their own making. They will lose more votes if they don't build it than if they do. No more pussy footing around. Interesting indeed. Fun times ahead for the lieberals. LOL.

And Justin Trudeau? Well, he has other priorities. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is looking to reassert Canada’s claim to climate change leadership at the coming Group of Seven summit, just a week after his government announced it would acquire the Trans Mountain oil pipeline and fund its expansion. Mr. Trudeau will host Group of Seven political leaders at the summit in Charlevoix, Que., this week and has said support for the Paris climate change agreement is a key priority, despite opposition from U.S. President Donald Trump. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/industry-news/energy-and-resources/article-trudeau-aims-to-reassert-canadas-claim-to-climate-change-leadership/ Well, Trudeau does not have my support.

After all, he was put on severe notice already with the Agha Khan fiasco. What is so difficult about having a process in place for receiving any gifts?

Sunny Ways !! I think Canadians are starting to realize how mediocre a PM Trudeau actually is. Most don't fault him a lot for his approach to Trump's trade tactics because it's unclear that any Canadian leader could react differently. But on a host of other issues Trudeau has been a disappointment. He kicked electoral reform under the bus. His immigration policies are being sustained mainly by virtue of not disclosing actual facts, including about the extent of the program, to Canadians. His refugee policy is a mess largely of his own making. Canada's economy, which is mainly sustained either by commodities booms and/or on America's coattails, looks like it could be headed for a stall, if not a crash. Implementation of his marijuana legislation was haphazard, as has been his government's once vaunted climate agenda. His pipelines strategy has been all over the map and impressed few. His approach on Indigenous policy has, so far, largely been a flop. I could go on, but would simply bore everybody here with the obvious. He really wasn't, and still isn't, ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzKillington Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) I liked Pierre Trudeau. He is one of the most popular PM's of all time - according to a MacLeans poll, or something. Maggie and Pierre were jet-setters, they were cool. He pulled a pirouette behind the Queen! All of Canada laughed. We're not laughing at the kid. He's an embarrassment.

capricorn Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Would it have been too much for Trudeau to forego a couple of personal leave days to return to Ottawa in light of a major -terrorist and/or mental - attack in Toronto? If only as a symbolic act to show he cares about Canadians. You can bet he would not book personal leave to coincide with Pride parades. In Ottawa the parade takes place on August 26. He'll be there with bells on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capricorn Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Quote In December of 2015, newly elected Prime Minister Trudeau sent a video message to the Toronto based “Reviving the Islamic Spirit” conference. Observers of this conference know that the conference has morphed into a “who is who” in the world of Islamists in Canada and the USA. The list of speakers has included Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of the Muslim Brotherhood founder and Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a US unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The conference was also sponsored by IRFAN Canada – until that charity lost is charitable status for funding terrorism and was later declared to be a terrorist entity in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau could have sent a message of integration. Instead, he chose to signal how he shared the views of the conference attendees. Specially, he referenced his “shared beliefs, his shared set of values and his shared vision” with the attendees of the conference. https://www.newdelhitimes.com/canadas-politicians-are-in-denial-on-terrorism/ That set the tone for what was to come following his 2015 election. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad we have to read the New Delhi Times to get an accurate summary. It has become almost undeniable that our Prime Minister does not have the mental acuity to understand complex issues (except maybe quantum mechanics )......so much so that he is likely oblivious to the dangerous path that his backroom idealogues have set Canada on. There are well over a million Muslims in Canada. There is absolutely nothing wrong with courting their votes - as Canadians but this video - and the supporting story behind it - are a shameful example of identity politics at its worst. When so much allegiance is given to obtain votes, you can bet there will be a Quid Pro Quo somewhere down the road. Here's a particularly troubling excerpt from Mohammed Hashim - the Hussain family spin doctor.....this fellow has an activist history that stretches to CAIR US - an organization accused of supporting terrorism. And remember, any Prime Minister naive enough to give a private meeting to Joshua Boyle......well, it just exemplifies how dangerous that could be....... And don't get me started on the Trudeau Channel - CBC...... Quote The bio continues: “His workshop ‘Progressive organizing in the Muslim communities’ will demonstrate how the GTA Muslim community mobilized in the previous federal election, and laid the groundwork to start building a national political movement.” Link: https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/furey-meet-the-spin-doctor-behind-the-hussain-family-statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TSS- Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 On one hand Justin Trudeau is a very famous person and people world over know he is the PM of Canada. When Stephen Harper or Jean Chretien were PM's it was by no means certain that people outside Canada had ever even heard of them. On another hand, Justin Trudeau being a very famous person world over must be getting something of an embarassment for many Canadians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're kidding, right? I haven't read a single analysis that's argued anything other than that Trudeau's crew nixed electoral reform. With a majority government, the Libs had complete control on this issue. The NDP of course favored proportional representation, as it always has, and I believe the Conservatives favored the status quo, but the actual decision to do nothing was entirely Trudeau's call. He has to wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
