Neither dynasty nor folly. He'll never live at 24 Sussex. But he won't embarrass himself either.

I wonder who Dion has in mind to run in that riding. He has three Liberal seats that he can select candidates for in Montreal.

I do believe that he'll be Primeminster. I think he's far too young right now, but I think that Pierre Trudeau has had the most influence on Canada in its history. People equate the Canadian flag, CBC, and Canada with Pierre Eliot Trudeau.

I think Canada has a love affair with this politician. Trudeau messed up for our country and he showed that he did not have the ability to govern our country. He was out of place.

Trudeau part II will prove to be the same. When he govenrs our country he'll run wild with his idealisms, place immigrants in the west and east, and make sure the whole country votes Liberal. He'll destroy Canada like his Dad.

I wish he would go straight to idealism Hell. A place where all the left wing agenda driven people belong.

Come on Mikedavid, Trudeau wasn't all that bad.

[mikedavid00]

Come on Mikedavid, Trudeau wasn't all that bad.

Yes he was. He ruined the country.

Can you list what he did that ruined the country?

[MightyAC]

Justin is a smart kid, an excellent speaker and he knows how to handle himself in front of the press. I think he'll spend sometime paying his dues and then he will become leader and PM one day.

Where would you like me to start??

Wow i'm watching Little Mosque on the Prarie! The give many many references to ARAR! FCK!

It's completely anti-alberta, anti-christian, anti-Canadian.

I agree completely.

He can get charged with rape and he'll still be PM.

Can you list what he did that ruined the country?

Apparently not!

Though any response I am sure will be along the same lines of Pat Robertson's thinking that women having equality caused 911.

BTW, Dion has no other choices for Outremount now, Justin is running there.

Come on Mikedavid, Trudeau wasn't all that bad.

Wasn't all that good, either.

And what's his son got to measure up to dad except the name?

[Canuck E Stan]

And what's his son got to measure up to dad except the name?

His father's money.

Does this guy do any work for a living?

[Canadian Blue]

I'd agree Trudeau definitely isn't the best PM, nor would he even be in the top ten for that matter. However I don't think he destroyed the country, we could be alot worse off.

I wouldn't start with the premise the country was ruined.

However, we can blame our many decades of debt problems on Trudeau. He was a man with vision - who got irritated if anyone asked him about the nuts and bolts of implementing those decisions. He wanted things done. He didn't care how they were paid for, or even if they were paid for. All that finance stuff was beneath him.

We can also blame, or credit, depending on your viewpoint, our vastly different national ethnic identify on Trudeau. It was during the Trudeau years that Canada went from being an almost homogeneous society (well, two homogeneous societies) to one where in many cases the native born are outnumbered by foreigners. I don't personally find this to be an improvement. And we can certainly blame much of our crime, and almost all of our security problems (including the border problems which have cost so many jobs and will cost even more as passport controls are implemented) on a nearly out of control immigration system.

Finally, we can blame him for the uncountable billions and billions and tens of billions in costs due to his Charter of Rights. We were a free nation before the Charter. I can't personally think of a single way in which the Charter has improved Canada. I can think of many ways it has cost us in terms of both money and democracy (in the form of the empowerment of unelected political hacks on the benches).

It is quite possible, even likely, that if a traditionalist conservative government had been in power instead of Trudeau, we'd have very little national debt, much less crime, far fewer visible minorities and foreigners, and be able to walk back and forth across the border as we used to. And decisions on national issues would be made by parliament, not unelected judges.

[Canuck E Stan]

However I don't think he destroyed the country,

Which part of the country didn't he destroy?

[geoffrey]

Can you list what he did that ruined the country?

NEP and multiculturalism. Trudeau is the father of separtist thought in the West and a large contributor to separtist though in Quebec.

"Screw the West we'll take the rest" attitude on top of that

Oh please, do not bring up that traditional conservative if stuff, Mulroney made a mess of Canada enuff said bout that line of innuendo and impossibility. And decisions with our current traditionist government does not have parliament making decisions we have the PMO doing it.

And really think about that nonsense about not being able to walk back and forth across the border being Trudeu's fault that is like Pat Robertson saying women were the cause of 911.

Trudeau saw, as people see now, with our declining birth rates of an industrilized nation, we need a certain amount of immigration, just as we did to start this country and get it going. IT is made up of immigrants. This whole country IS foreigners, unless your First Nations.

The Charter of Rights is a great thing, it has improved Canada in countless ways.

When we started this country we posted ads in other countries to attract immigrants to farm the prairies, I don't think ads exist now to immigrate to Canada. you can blame declining birth rates with the rise of more women entering the workplace due to inflation and the need to pay for our standard of living (a million bucks for a house in B.C. anyone?) What we need is the right kind of immigrants, not just anyone as the social services would be plugged more than it already is.

The Charter of Rights is a great thing, it has improved Canada in countless ways.

Hah!!! The only thing that the Charter has done good is improve the rights of special interest groups and makes it harder to arrest criminals. Canada was already a highly civilized, non corrupt, non-abusive, safe Country before the Charter. What did you think that before the Charter we lived in anarchy? I don't think in the textbooks it says that there were death squads and all that roaming around Canada. Do you think that the Prime Ministers before Trudeau were all like Pinnochet and we NEEDED the charter to prevent that, our country is too advanced for that. With the Charter we get groups that cause organized crime that hide behind it stating they have the right to a freedom of association, why you would want to enable that is beyond me.

[geoffrey]

You can never, NEVER, legislate tolerance. In fact, attempting to do so often has the opposite effect of letting society come to terms with it's own tolerances.

I second that, hate law's rarely can bring about tolerance. However information is much more effective at defeating intolerance than the state will ever be.

[geoffrey]

Maybe he's coming into politics to finish daddy's legacy. Finish off destroying the country.

That's what sons of former leaders do right? Finish unfinished business?

[mikedavid00]

And what's his son got to measure up to dad except the name?

His father's money.

Does this guy do any work for a living?

Well he sits on boards and collects our tax dollars for doing nothing.

We'll always pay Trudeau to be elite. There will always be people offering him seats on boards in Quebec where the money gets passed around in envelopes. These are how elites operate.

That Kakoont or whatever 20M boondoggle is a mere 1000 student volunteers. So where does the money all go? To adults. Who are those adults? Quebec elites. One of them being Trudeau jr. and his dad'd old friends. Suprise suprise!

This is how they make money. A phone call gets you a job in these circles. Bob Rae can litterally work wherever he likes. All he has to do is ask an elite to set him up with a job or seat on a board and there's his money. And when I say job, I mean an elite job. You bascially don't show up to work and get paid for nothing.

Hmm.. who sits on the board at Magna? Mulrouney, Mike Harris, etc. Basically elites.

Now Mulrouneys sone is actually doing something for the Canadian red cross I beleive?

It's all elite insider money that comes from us the tax payer. This has got to stop. Let the private companies do this.

[geoffrey]

To be fair, he was a teacher and was recently in charge of the Katimavik (spelling?) program.
