"Trudeau blasted the Conservatives for using the term "barbaric," even though it's been in the guide since 2009."


Essentially appeasement policies in the pre-WWII era. Neville Chamberlain reborn.

He's benefitted from a general sickness of Harper and a certain likability factor. I get how some people say he's likable but he'd get laughed out of the room (and not for the right reasons) in any get together with my buddies.

To me, he tries too hard. His schtick is PR 102, just deep enough for the average person to think he's thoughtful but dig a bit deeper and he's an empty suit.

We'll see - he's earned the right to govern and has four years to prove me wrong.

As a feminist, where does our PM stand on female genital mutilation?

To suggest that Trudeau 2.0 (student edition) TM is a "pussy" is to suggest that he has any identity at all. I think he's devoid of any real identity, and that he takes positions on issues much like a tumbleweed takes a position, depending upon which way the political wind is blowing at the time.

"Justin Trudeau said the government should not call honour killings "barbaric".

That's what they are: barbaric. This over the top PC worries me.

You did note this is a 5 year old newspaper report.

By accepting refugees he has shown that he hasn't changed much.

Trudeau has led a privileged life, and is simply showing a policy of non violence where we need to give more money to special interest groups (and I would include the government workers and the CBC as part of those special interest groups as he has rewarded them heavily already).

Whether you like it or not, he is a good politician for the simple reason he won the election.
However, I think we are in an age where more than ever, candidates will do what will elect them, not what is good for the country.
In this way, they are just as sociopathic as corporations: the end justifies the means. Both Trudeau and Wynne exemplify this, and it has worked well for them.

Do I think he really believes in what he is doing, and has good intentions? Yes.
Do I think he is the one running the show? Not even close. He is pretty much our George Bush: a himbo with the right name where others are pulling the strings.
Do I think he knows what is doing when it comes to building the economy? Clearly not, as it is not a priority and all he has done is hurt business.
National defense is more of the same (including the far north, pipelines, etc etc).

Enjoy the ride.

Trudeau has been a huge disappointment to me since being elected. I had high hopes, but they've pretty much been dashed. And it's all the PC bullshit that's doing it. Running the country based on hopes and dreams while ignoring reality is not what a leader should do.

Great post.
It's a bit early to make the comparison whole-hearteadly but the W. comparison has crossed my mind. To boot: Gerry Butts is Karl Rove in sheep's clothing.

Holy Smokes something dug up from 2011, and from the most biased Sun News. Trudeau seems to tick off all the Conn supporters who are living in denial.

And they really have to reach dig pretty deep to find something so tiny.

You had "high hopes?" Was it his experience as a bouncer, snowboard instructor, or drama teacher that inspired you to think he had the depth to lead the country?

Trudeau's a "pussy" ?

This is one of those threads where I realize that Terb is in no way representative of Canada, Ontario, or Toronto.

For some reason I used to think This site was... I used to really enjoy reading the politics forum here.
Now I realize I should just avoid the whole section.

How do guys who see girls like me post such ridiculous comments?.

If you guys are going to post silliness calling him a "pussy"... You're in for a rude awakening over the next few elections. Those of us who don't see him as a "pussy" (or those of us who would never use the word "pussy" as an insult), will keep voting for him.

Petty, childish insults like this are exactly-why the majority of Canadians voted and will continue to vote for the Liberals.

I would take either Trudeau or Harper over the choices Americans have now: Clinton vs Trump.

The Canadian election felt like a real choice between two different leaders with different visions. The US election, at least so far, feels like both parties are scraping the bottom of the barrel and coming up short.

So the Liberals obtained a majority over name calling (and to be clear, a majority of Canadians did not vote Liberal)?
Isn't that a bit.. disappointing?

Like it or not, "pussy" is a common expression, and any faux outrage makes as much sense as my being offended when someone is called a "dick".
I think he has demonstrated an incredible lack of backbone when it comes to real issues for Canadians (ranging from defense, to the far north, to pipelines).
He has been good at giving money away, with zero measurement criteria or accountability in place.

I do agree with one thing: Trudeau's lack of accomplishments was a benefit in the last election as you cannot criticize someone who has essentially done nothing.
He is now establishing a record, and will be responsible for the success of that record. High deficits and discouraging business are not a successful recipe.
I have relocated my business as a result. I know many more who are doing the same simply because successful people are in demand everywhere.
The people who will pay the price will be the declining middle class as well as the under 25s (who now have a pretty shitty future ahead of them).

That's not far from the truth. Canadians were fed up with what they perceived as bullying and a dictatorial, confrontational style of government.

A little more than name calling but that certainly catches the spirit of it.

Yup, better avoid the whole section. They called him a Pussy. LOL
