Well it's nice to see you have found your way back to reality.

Fact remains, JT went from the white knight who was going to lead Canada (well most of it) to the promised land to black face and an almost destruction of one of the oldest institutions in this country.

The mental gymnastics required to try and defend the complete clown show his reign of incompetence has been, is mind bottling.

Where do you think he will rank among PM's when the smoke clears and look back upon his time in say....10 years?

Let’s just say that the second wave was worse than the first.

You really should get out of your echo chamber.

You do know that Florida exists, right?

When black face is one of the top two things you can think to criticize him for out of the many available it becomes clear your histrionics aren’t stemming from any intelligent, rational critical view of things.

Entertaining though.

This is how you know he isn't playing with a full deck.

Leblanc announces he will not run for Liberal leader.

Wait, who’s running on re-criminalizing cannabis?

I mean if you talk to Trump supporters, they don't want Canada as part of the US.

The economic union makes sense, but the big thing is the military side of things, which I also see Trump referenced the other day. He has a point. Canada has dropped the ball, and the next 25-50 years will be kind of a big deal in the Arctic, especially with the Russians and Chinese thinking everything belongs to them.

Saying things like "Trump has a point" are traitorous to Canada, and exactly why he's running with this. Knock it the #### off.

The economic union makes no sense and Canadians should be entirely opposed to that line of thinking.

You forgot to add the sarcastic “Not!“ after that sentence.

Alot of sentence paragraphs for a guy who couldn't care less.

Trudeau is terrible, especially the last 2-3 years, I wasn't defending him and don't think I ever have. Just pointing out that you pretented poorly, like the posts you were laughing out loud in capitals at

Tariffs hurt consumers and businesses on both sides of the border. That’s why they’re stupid. A Liberal government that is facing electoral defeat anyway doesn’t have to worry about the domestic political costs of imposing counter-tarrifs. They can make American businesses feel the pain too, which will put pressure on Trump’s administration.

And I don’t think negotiations with a Poillievre administration would go any better. Trump doesn’t see the world in terms of alliances or friends, and he doesn’t believe in mutually-beneficial deals. To him, negotiation is a zero-sum struggle where one side wins and one side loses. He will want Canada to lose, no matter what government is at the helm.

That is correct. 251 Conservatives and 0 Liberals are on Fuzz' right.

10 years isn't a lot of time to pass before judgement but I'd bet Trudeau will rank in the upper half. I suspect most people can't without help, name 10 PMs anyway. But for recent PMs he's above Harper, Clark, Turner, Martin, Campbell, probably behind his dad, Mulroney (who I didn't like but you can't deny he was impactful), and Chretien.

There are a lot of aspects that can be criticized when it comes to scandal or policy or leadership but shouldn't the blackface and cultural appropriation issues be at the top of the list for criticism based on the current environment of combatting and denouncing racism?

Above Poilievre.

They've done this before, but not with something as intrinsic as Capital Gains.

Isn't it just going to be "we're assessing you on the basis that this is the law even though it isn't. If it turns out that it still isn't the law by next time you have to file a return, you will get a refund. Since that will happen when the CPC is in power, them having a bit less revenue isn't an issue for us, and for the taxpayer, you'll have given the government an interest free loan and we'll place the administrative burden of figuring out how much refund we owe you on you. Have fun."

Except..... He does have a point......

You should strongly consider running in the Liberal leadership race. You seem to have just the right mix of narcissism, D-baggery, uncontrollable verbal diarrhea and chronic TDS to fit in quite nicely over there.
