The fall of Justin Trudeau

[Locutus]

Justin Trudeau is now experiencing a common trait of political journalism in Canada.

It is, as the Toronto Sun’s late, great Peter Worthington used to say, that the media are either at your feet, or at your throat.

And often, the same media that used to be at your feet, are now at your throat.

Here at the Sun, we’ve always had our doubts about the competence of young Mr. Trudeau and whether he’s truly qualified to be Canada’s next prime minister, despite his political pedigree.

But some of the most nasty stuff about him now is coming from pundits and media who used to grovel at his feet.

On Wednesday, even the European-based and non-partisan Reuters news service stuck the shiv in Trudeau with a long feature headlined, “Backers fear that missing-in-action, Trudeau losing bid to lead Canada”, describing him as “a former teacher and one-time snowboard instructor.” Ouch!

What’s happened is that the media, taking its cue from the polls which now show the Liberals in third place behind the NDP and Tories, have done an about-face on the previous media narrative about Trudeau.


soon...

Good thing he has a few years to make them twist in the wind. If Harper was the best we could produce then we have already lost the war.

Anything was better than Harper my dog even and he has been dead for
four years. The previous government was deceitful and manipulative of
fact even basic fact. They actually ran up more debt than old Trudeau
He was no friend of seniors, no friend of veterans no friend of working
people, mothers got a new childcare program but had to pay tax on it all
so they didn't benefit, there were planned cuts to medicare transfer payments.
Controversial bill C-51 and others.
The problem social conservatism. people had enough and from young people
to veterans everyone organized to rid ourselves of them the majority has spoken
whether we got the party we wanted, another matter, but the majority spoke.
It is a little early to be predicting the downfall and for those who hate Trudeau
I don't think they are going back to the Tories any time soon

Way to ruin a perfectly good conspiracy theory.

pony story still holds up after these few months.

[taxslave]

So when can we start the recall?

 

[Kreskin]

It doesn't take the creators of fear and negativity very long to get started.

Hmmmmm! Journalists once had the power to make or break but they don't have that power anymore since the younger generations don't know how to read or if they can decipher a few written sentences, they can't comprehend the message.
Media can't influence the younger generations by talking because the younger generations don't listen. So those youngsters just see something they like and go for it.
Maybe when they all go blind too the country will right itself.

Stop being so silly. With the internet, young people read far more than older generations.

...you mean like investment tapeworms who'll send jobs to foreign shores then gripe that high unemployment at home is because of a lazy workforce?
