This article would not be written of Prime Minister Michael Ignatieff. Or Paul Martin. Or Tom Mulcair. Or Jack Layton.
I'm 28, and Canada has never had a leader with this much global celebrity as long as I've been alive.

a dollar on par is not a good thing for Canada

Yeah, when people slag Dick Cheney and use him to compare others to in a negative way, it's because of his personality.

It might be a puff piece but it is actually a balanced and well written article, this coming from a Conservative.
I like the fact that Trudeau engages with people, that he is putting Canada on the world stage, but most of the time, he never actually says anything substantial.

Of course, these are the very people who he should upset, as opposed to international leaders.

Well right or wrong here in Iceland I've never seen Canada in our local media as much as with him as PM and the image of Canada as being this progressive and leader socially of the world. People keep looking to Canada especially when you look at all the bad news coming out of the Trump presidency, so that helps his image a lot.
Macron in France is starting to catch that wave of love as well, he's become in European news the leader of the EU.

It's interesting to see the love in here for this idiot, all he does is give away tax dollars, when Canada becomes the new Greece and goes bankrupt I wonder how many crows will die because of CP members
Promises broken and headshakes:
1: Revenue neutral middle-class tax cut
Trudeau said his middle class tax cut would pay for itself. It hasn’t. The tax cut is costing all Canadians $1.2 billion annually from the federal treasury, a classic case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
2: Small business tax cut
Trudeau promised to lower the rate from 11% to 9%. He hasn’t.
3: Modest deficits
Trudeau said annual deficits over his first term in office would total $24.1 billion. Last week’s federal budget pegs them at $93.3 billion, an immodest increase of 287%.

My only issue with Trudeau so far is that he is letting aboriginals down. They had a lot of hope that he would be be different from Harper, but so far he has not really advanced that agenda. Some of my aboriginal friends saw his election as finally getting a "settler ally" as a PM, and now they have done a 180.
It's not too late of course, but he needs to make it more of a priority IMO.

Look, Snuffleupagus, we've just been through this with Dion. If you are going to take words from someone else, you have to link where you got them from, and not just plagiarize and post them here like you just came up with them. Paste the link, it's not that hard. We all learned this stuff in elementary.

You fixed it all right but the reasons I didn't link was "a" nobody reads them and "b" I added my own little jewels of 11,12 and 13
