Is it right to put down any occupation? If you can make money teaching snow board and you are good at it go for it. Is it any worse than teaching yoga or tight rope walking?

He doesn't need any excuses. Charging money to speak to various groups is completely legal. His paid speaking engagements were in the evenings or weekends. The people paying money new what they were buying. They must have liked what they got if they came back for more.
I hear you C.M. but he was democratically elected so there's a procedure we have to wait out. I feel a lot of intrepidation, as to his competence but maybe he's good at delegating and has lot of experts at his beck and call. I'd be more impressed if he'd spent a year pulling boards off a green chain.
Not really worth posting to my friend #jaun.
They're flailing around like fish on the dock.
Really it's to be expected.
After 9 years of repression and suppression
they can't understand freedom.
What incompetent things has he done? When he first became leader he initially ran the party pretty shoddily. Since then he quite adeptly navigated the Conservative campaign juggernaut and the NDP's huge surge of popularity. His sudden majority victory was impressive. From third party and third in the polls to majority government. Now he's been PM for a week and have there been any real examples of incompetence?
Don't get me wrong. I don't like Trudeau for ideological reasons. But that's not what we're talking about here is it? You people seem to have a petty distaste for him.
I agree, but to make a massive deal about having 3 more women in Cabinet than Stephen Harper did when you have twice as many women to choose from lends itself to people criticizing your pious attitude that you're so much more diverse than the last guy when you're clearly not.
Why do they have more women to choose from? Hint: maybe it's because they are more diverse.
Though I'm just poking holes in your logic. I don't think the Liberals are that diverse. They have never really been a party of diversity.
Speaking for myself absolutely none as a person. Within about 48 hours of that picture of the dead boy on the beach, Justin promised to bring in 25,000 refugees by New Years (and of course he got the votes from the bleeding hearts) That is mainly how he won, in my estimation. Who in his/her right mind would make such a promise on short notice. If it happens it's going to have very little to do with Justin's efforts.

If both Libs and Cons had 50% of the vote, 70% of women would have voted Liberal, and 70% of men would have voted Conservative. This does not make the Liberal supporters more diverse than the Conservative supporters. Now, since women are less likely to get into politics than men, you can see why the Liberals attract more women candidates.
Can't quite follow your reasoning. For one thing I'm sure many wives vote the same as their husband. I think the senior's vote may be weighted more toward the Conservatives as the Liberals represent a little more risk...........................in my estimation. A lot of it is also hit and miss............had the election been held on the day before or the day after the results may have been a lot different.
Really? You think that's how he won?
Yeah, I'm not following this logic either.
Have you checked a calendar lately?

Was definitely a contributing factor, as it was right at that time his numbers increased! Is that difficult to comprehend?
Have you checked a calendar lately?
Yeah, I checked all my calendars but none showing voting trends!
Will he be fixing the diversity problem in his cabinet or is he going to stick with all the old white people.
What am I back tracking on? It well could have been mainly how he won! I think you are "splitting hairs".
What should I be admitting?
