And I'm sure it does. But I also know that Sikhs are a pretty independent group, and won't be simply influenced by who is wearing a turban on their head...

Nor do they point out that if Jagmeet Singh was Prime Minister the situation would be even worse, because he's not allowed to even enter India. And my position is that if the Indian government is going to play those stupid games, then screw them, we don't need them as much as they might think, and the less of that nonsense the better...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-4060353087326496052018-02-24T11:38:40.076-05:002018-02-24T11:38:40.076-05:00hi Yvonne...

But I do agree that the Liberals need to do something to counter the Con games. They are far too passive. I realize it's not in Justin's nature to be caustic and unpleasant, and that's one o the reasons people like him so much. But the Liberals do need some enforcers on their team to keep the Cons honest, and the sooner they start the better...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-67774048056993494802018-02-24T11:29:17.529-05:002018-02-24T11:29:17.529-05:00hi rumleyfips...I think Trudeau is doing a decent ...hi rumleyfips...I think Trudeau is doing a decent job of running the country and the economy.

I think the Cons would like to see us all wearing flannel trousers and hair shirts. But most young people I know thought the Trudeaus looked cool, or hilarious in a good way. And the boring old white men in the Con media are only showing how out of it they are. Justin is too cool and too popular for them, and they bitterly resent it.

A frigging frenzy if ever there was one. And while I think Justin Trudeau might have gone just a little bit overboard, it was all harmless, and probably a great way to make Canada more friends in India. Which is necessary if you are trying to lay the groundwork for a new relationship with that giant country. And what disgusts me is the way the Cons in Canada cheer against their own country.

Fortunately its only a minor skirmish in the overall scheme of things and hopefully the truth will filter through. Trudeau is correct not to propagandize the government's mission like the Harper "Canada's Action Plan" but I am disappointed that the Liberal party is not doing enough to draw these clowns out into the daylight. Whats wrong with on line videos showing clips of the Con website and asking for their platform on key issues, a W5 investigation into US, British, German election hacking, how its done, what propaganda looks like and why it is effective. Oprah style 60 min debates between supporters of various parties.<br />Except for you and a few others it seems the great Liberal machine is sitting on their butts letting Trudeau carry the load while they wait for election time. Not a very smart strategy, in my opinion.<br />RTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-65171446422660665752018-02-23T12:28:49.625-05:002018-02-23T12:28:49.625-05:00Trudeau is doing pretty well on trade deals.

Especially not as long as Android Sneer keeps openly courting the neo-Nazi isolationists at Deplorebel Media, and affixing himself firmly within the Trumposphere of religious fanatics and hateful bigots. If ever he shows up at an NRA convention, there'd be more people on the Canadian Olympic abstract ice-sculpture team than cons in Parliament. It'd make Mulroney/Campbell '93 look like a landslide majority. The biggest electoral victory ever, believe me.<br /><br />There's a reason why the con papers are losing money. For one thing, they keep fellating each other, snarking at the prime minister out of bitterness like high school students who weren't invited to the prom (or troublemaking dunce-caps at the back of the class putting thumb tacks on the teacher's chair), and alienating the average Canadian. Whatever missteps (or misinterpreted steps) Justin makes get over-exaggerated by the jealous merchants of misery, and don't reflect the fact that most people think he's doing a pretty damn good job (especially compared to his predecessor and the lunatic south of the 49th). That lame joke about Justin throwing up in the Indian prime minister's lap (à la Bush Sr.) being christened "the greatest closing line anyone has ever written" (because Andrew Coyne is the Oracle of Delphi and final word on the subject?) is an example. 1990 called; it wants its <i>SNL</i> punchlines back. <br /><br />Not to mention, roasting the <i>children</i> is lower than low, and I see this happening a lot more as the toilet-paper press keeps mainlining its own supply and has become desensitized to the gateway drug of Justin-bashing, only to move on to stronger and more damaging "stuff" in their stash: Sophie-bashing, Margaret-bashing, and now even Xavier/Ella/Hadrien-bashing -- the Fentanyl of hack "journalism." Perhaps if they smoked a bowl of sunny ways, they'd chill out and be better writers, but no. They've devolved to the level of Internet trolls, and that's a "sorry" state of affairs for journalism in any country, especially Canada.<br /><br />Do you really think Canada wants to throw their Kennedy-esque, globally-minded, compassionate Jedi schoolteacher overboard in favor of a white-nationalist altar boy Crusader who'd happily sign up to be a Sith Lord in training for Darth Cheddar and Vlad Palputine the first chance he gets, thus turning Canada into a shithole country like the United States?
