Ppl from Canada, whats up with the new PM Trudeau?

[Paul&John]

Hi!

Is he any good?

[mopek1]

Who knows ... we'll have to wait and see.

[Freedom6995]

Yes. Young blood. Out with the blue rinse, bible thumping, white supremacist, closet homosexual crowd.

[j3rkules]

He will do a way better than Harper, the last thing in the world you would want is a religious president.

[_Richard_]

so far so good, 'responsible' withdrawal of fighters from middle east, along with work started on that secret police bill.

He has some very big heavy weights on his staff, it should be ok

[Paul&John]

Then sounds like a win ;)

[Martin]

I voted for him just based on his age. Time to hand these dinosaurs theirs hats. Its a new age. These old farts are out of touch.

[Kenny B!]

There are pros and cons as with anyone elected. His plans are to raise taxes on the wealthy and run a deficit (yes Canada actually has had balanced budget) weakening the Canadian dollar. So great news for anyone earning USD.

He's pro marijuana legalization, and he's fresh blood. 10 years with the same person in power just leads to deep seeded corruption.

Too early to tell,no matter who is in charge we are fucked anyways

He's young with a fresh approach and liberal minded. If he's anything like his father, it's a WIN.

a perfect example of how canadian drama queens view things.

We don't have an exciting government who makes world changing decisions often so we feel the need to create drama and make shit up to fill the void and keep our lives interesting. At the end of the day all 3 platforms were practically the same and it was time for someone else to be in control which is probably best for all--even the queens.

If anything, that video may show why the younger Trudeau supported the Conservatives Bill C-51.

[Rob]

He wants to legalize weed. That's all I know, and I really don't even give a shit about that.

[2MuchMark]

Not sure yet.

Trudeau knows that climate change is a real thing, so that's good. Harper, the guy he is replacing, believed it was a hoax. Then again, Trudeau is for the keystone pipeline. Let's wait and see what he does on this.

Trudeau wants to legalize or at least decriminalize weed. So, Yay.

He wants to raise taxes, which is kind of bad because we're already taxed heavily (over 40% here in Quebec).

Let's see how this all turns out.

Why should we stick our noses in where it dont belong ? ISIS and all of its incarnations are signs of failed US foreign policy, lets go spread democracy, whether they want it or not ! Canada should go back to the role of peace keepers only !

Canadians are not exempt, ISis called for a jihad against Canada/canadians.

radical islam has been around for 1000s of years before US foreign policy. US didn't create it and ISIS in some form or another would exist still and be every free democratic country's problem and responsibility to eradicate.

[flashfire]

no qualifications other than his dad was the PM and women and some men think he is cute

its his first full time job lol

Do you think Canadians would be immune from ISIS if you hadn't tried to combat them? They're killing everyone and anyone. Gays, women, children, Japanese, Chinese, french. Everyone that is not them is their target. Heck, even the Russians are working with USA to get them. That's universal.

[2MuchMark]

Seems like a cool guy



(Nerds are cool)


And his Mom was a free spirited one

[Blunt23]

Some of the responses in this thread are perplexing to say the least.

I'm not depending on my government for drama, interesting fodder or cool points. I want less taxes, responsible decision making with my tax dollars and smaller government.

For a country that was at or near the top in every economic rating for G8 nations since the slowdown last decade, and for a government that turned a budget surplus, they get rewarded with a resounding defeat, handing a majority government to a party that plans to overspend, run by a part-time high school drama teacher with no business experience whatsoever.

Yah, that sounds promising.

If you wanted a change, Mulclair would have been the more responsible choice, but the NDP would be hard pressed to form a cabinet with the rogues gallery of members in that party. At least the Liberals have some good candidates that can handle cabinet positions, but Trudeau is in way over his head. He's a pretty pony who has done a great job of reading the cue cards for the last 80 days.

We will see, but with a majority Liberal government in Ottawa AND Toronto, I am not encouraged in the least that there will be any fiscal responsibility whatsoever. Any pantload can spend what you dont have and thats all these morons plan on doing. Trying to tell people like me that we don't understand because this is just Keynesian economics in effect is a waste of time because there are so many strong indicators that say we need to slow spending, not increase it.

Put the money in the hands of the people and let them decide.

Now, this "Radical Islam" you mention was "only" active in the arabic peninsula and put to a rest by Roosevelt's deal with Saudi Arabia just after WWII (deal to get the recently found petrol in the area).
Now, Radical Islam outside of the Arabic countries mostly started after the US mingled with the Iranian Revolution to overthrow the Shah in 1979.
This is what most historian agree was the sparkle that created the current state of things.
It's common knowledge that Bin Laden was initially trained in the US by the CIA.
Oh, and for the ones that have a few minutes and would like to document themselves before flaming me down, here's what the French Prime minister had to say to the request from the US to go to war (again) in Iraq.



For the laziest, just skip to minute 12 (for a couple of minutes).

[CDSmith]

He's been talking the talk, running the yap, and making the big promises for nearly 3 months now, time to follow through.

Of course that would hold true no matter which of them got elected.


I suppose we'll know if he's "any good" by a year or two from now.

That's not true - Trudeau will allow people to enter Canada with their faces covered - so we're potentially bringing ISIS into Canada as "refugees".

As long as the face-covered "refugees" stay at Liberty politicians homes...I can't see there being a problem.

trudeau appeals to peace loving hipsters so its no surprise that he wants to pull out. he has said he wants to get out of any combat but would be for training the locals to fight for themselves. i watched a vice interview with trudeau taking questions from hipsters and not one question about the economy. everything from student debt to transgender rights to weed but nothing of any real importance. trudeau took the most selfies out of any candidate. he got more young people out to vote for sure. and say hello to 25k syrian refugees "right away".

It sounds like he followed the Hope and Change campaign to a T.

Of course he's against combat - his daddy was a draft dodger.

That boxing match against Brazeau was fluff and circus. It was fun watching him flailing away...punches like a girl.

Trudeau fucking sucks. End of story. Big active government on the way

the wahabi movement began in the 1700s.


ISIS initially developed completely removed from al-quaeda and was originally called Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, the 2 groups have very little if anything to do with the other.

and France and England carved up the Muslim empires as spoils of ww1, and add in the creation of israel in the 40s and you can see that the USA came along and entered the ME fray much later.

so to make your point more clear, the West's meddling in the ME is responsible for radical Islam.

thus the need for the entire West to contribute to eradicating it, including Canada.

At least Daddy didn't start any wars and lie to his people like a certain other draft dodger we all know.

[CHMOD]

The guy will destroy Canada. His father is one of the ideological founders of multiculturalism, which failed everywhere on the planet.

Even after seeing the miserable European immigration failure based on that ideology, he wants to do EXACTLY the same thing in Canada.
In other words: He wants to repeat step by step the same mistakes as others did even after seeing the horrible results.

The guy is a danger for our country.

oh noes, he might even introduce another charter freedom of rights, but even more powerful than ever before

you feel you live in a failed country?

there are people who don't want to pay more taxes, that don't want to see scores more people hired in the public sector and people who don't want to see tens of thousands of immigrants coming here to just end up welfare. hard to believe isn't it.

Immigrants to Canada, on average, earn MORE than native-born Canadians, and use LESS welfare/social services than native-born Canadians.

[BlackCrayon]

i know people who work for welfare and disability and they say the number of immigrants on welfare compared to "native born" canadians is about 4 to 1.

of course there are some that do really well and some who come here rich (and pretend to be poor, using the welfare system since they keep their money in foreign banks) but especially refugees, people who can't speak the language usually end up unable to find jobs or come here with some kind of mental/physical disability so they "can't" work.

[TheLegacy]

Although he's got elected a few days ago the one thing he did that was meaningful and showed his colors is that the next day he spent a few hours on a subway thanking Canadian's for voting for him. Never have I heard of a politician after being elected make a first move by going where the people are and thanking them. Shows humility.

His platform has holes but overall if anyone may do things right for the Canadian people at this moment I have hope.

that stat is based on their impressions on who is coming in? do you know if that would include the immigration assistance all receive?

anyway, without arguing about things we don't have much to do with, the newest study i can find had immigrant families directly using about 10k in government services per year, while paying 20k in taxes (on average). there have been difficulties over the past 20 years on how long it takes them to find steady work, but that number as of 1995 shows them paying twice as much as they use

It is 100% true. Trudeau is an islamophile and has absolutely no clue what the niqab nor the burqa means. He clearly said that he has no issues letting full covered face islamists doing their canadian citizenship vow

Can you please tell me where he exactly said people will be allowed to enter with face covered?

We only had 2 terrorist attacks from islamiste fanatics and both attackers where young brainwashed local punks. 1 using a rifle and the other a car in a parking lot.

I myself have been living in the center of Montreal where I am a minority as a french canadian and I have NEVER seen a women with her face completely covered.
