Re: More shiny ponyness

There has never been the slightest hint of Harper corruption. None.

"Long term very negative policies" is very much a matter of opinion. Considering he is doing what he was elected to do, that charge is groundless.

You understand that the mean temperature of the world has risen 0.8 of a degree Celcius....in the last 140 years. Give it a break. Oh, and you do understand Justin is pro-pipeline and pro-oilsands....or is he lying????????????

I'm surprised Justin can figure out how to put his pants on in the morning, much less "save billions of dollars and many lives in Canada in the coming years."

Just because Harper hasn't been caught taking brown paper bags full of money from corporate bagmen doesn't mean he isn't corrupt, there are many of us who consider the ways he abuses his position of power in this country to further his own interests to be deeply corrupt.

Climate change is already a huge issue, if you think Canadian weather, climate, culture economic viability and more are going to be stable and anything like what we've grown up with considering massive changes to things like Arctic ice cover, glaciers, the increase of droughts, flood and other extreme weather events in conjunction with rapidly migrating habitat zones that will probably see the disappearance of entire ecosystems like the Arctic before long then you're been listening to the wrong people. Science isn't politics, it's an objective examination of evidence in pursuit of the most accurate view of the physical world around us.

Harper and his government have been attacking science in this country not because it presents a threat to Canadians, but because it presents a threat to very limited conservative interests...and that's probably one of the most corrupt things about Harper, his very denial of reality in pursuit of his own interests.

Climate change is NOT AN ISSUE!

Wake the f*ck up already.

Do you really think any other PM will waste anymore money on the bullsh*t scam?

Re: More shiny ponyness

For God's sake Colpy, Justin Trudeau is at least as intelligent as you are...or as I am for that matter. I've watched and listened to a
half dozen of his speeches........He's not stupid. He may not be an aggressive, hard nosed, politician but maybe we already have enough of those.

They are all only as smart as the people they hire although some think that politicians are god kings living on Mt Olympus with magical powers that eliminate the woes of a nation in one wave of the magic wand.

Shiny Pony: The Senate is to our advantage

I mean, why abolish it and everything. That's just unshiny.

... “We have 24 senators from Quebec and there are just six from Alberta and British Columbia. It’s to our advantage. To want to abolish it is demagoguery. We’ll have to improve it.”...

I know what Turdeau's platform is; if he gets to be PM, the drama teacher will teach us all to act like everything's all peachy keen.

Re: More shiny ponyness

Or he goes the status quo route like Harper as a caretaker of Sino funded Action Plan.

Re: More shiny ponyness

People we are on the threshold of change. That is right Justin is the symbol of change.
Young people, women the marginalized those without fancy incomes and so on. These
people don't care about what Justin has done or in this case has not done. They are
Canadians and they want something different something exciting and it is not Harper
anymore. The press and media want something different too and you can see it in the
editorials and commentaries.
We shouldn't be too hard on young Trudeau, after all people don't like rust stains on new
leaders. It would somehow suggest he isn't perfect. Don't get caught in the old idea that
someone has to have experience. Why the country practically runs itself doesn't it?
Well no it doesn't but no one cares about that right now they just want something different.
Paul Martin was different for awhile until Harper came along and now the table has turned.
Justin has better hair and a nicer smile isn't that enough?
And he is within his right to charge as well

NDP flip Trudeau’s expense transparency proposal with a motion aimed directly at his speaking gigs



OTTAWA — Opposition MPs turned on each other Tuesday after New Democrats upstaged Liberal leader Justin Trudeau by calling for an investigation into taxpayer-funded travel related to paid speaking engagements.

This came after the NDP refused to support Mr. Trudeau’s calls to have MPs disclose all office, travel and dining expenses, prompting allegations of cheap politicking from both sides.

Mr. Trudeau announced a plan last week to to require quarterly reports of all MP travel, hospitality and office expenses, as well as having the federal auditor general take a more active role in examining parliamentarians’ activities.

On Tuesday, Mr. Trudeau sought unanimous agreement on four motions that, while non-binding, would have indicated cross-party support for his proposals and provided an impetus for further action.

Charity asks Justin Trudeau to return speaking fee after event bombs



OTTAWA - An East Coast charity has asked Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau to return a $20,000 fee he was paid to speak at an event in 2012 that flopped.

Grace Foundation in Port City, N.B., needed $300,000 to furnish two local retirement homes. A bake sale wouldn't raise that kind of money, so the charity took a chance and decided on a speaker-led fundraiser.

Trudeau, they believed, would draw the crowd they'd need.

As it turned out, he didn't. And now Grace Foundation wants a refund.

It sent a letter to Trudeau's booking agency.

"The fundraising event we hired you for as a speaker was a huge disappointment and a financial loss for our organization," board member Susan Buck wrote. "A refund of the fees charged would meet our needs and would provide a positive public impression."
But speaking fees aren't generally returned just because the event isn't a success.

Trudeau's office said the fee was negotiated as part of a contract. The $20,000 covered Trudeau's travel and accommodation expenses as well as his fee for the speech.

It is unclear whether Trudeau intends to repay the charity, but regardless, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney seized on the episode to attack Trudeau's judgment.

"He was getting paid $160,000 as an MP, but he went and took a $20,000 cheque from a group of seniors," Kenney said. "Mr. Speaker, I'd like to know how many members here go to charity events where they give money...that's what most Canadians do."

I think possibly Justin's strength is in his potential, he could probably use a spell getting acquainted with the physical side of life, like maybe a year setting chokers or pulling boards off the green chain. That way he would get the benefits of hard work and also learn a lot from guys who are "steeped" in that way of life!
