No, there are two reasons at leats why JT was elected.
ummm, The other reason JT got VOTED in by a majority of Canadians is because he is not Harper

having said that:
If voting actually counted for anything they wouldn't let us do it.
Just take a look at canadian Cruz's "grass roots revolution" in the conservative type primaries in the US:
In states where NO ONE EVEN GOT TO VOTE!
That's how power speaks to truth.
29 % is a majority ?

shouldn't that be 39.5 percent?
according to
http://www.cbc.ca/news2/interactives/results-2015/
an increase of 150 for the lie barrels to a loss of 67 for the con- artists

29%?
um...you learned on the new math right?

"One of the quirks of Canada’s first-past-the-post electoral system is that a party can take the majority of seats without winning a majority of votes. That was certainly the case in 2011, when the Conservatives won 166 of 308 seats — or 53.9 per cent — but only 39.6 per cent of the popular vote."

You must factor in the non voters . Liberals received 39 % of the cast votes , not 39% support of all Canadians .

There is only 1 reason JT was elected and that was his promise to legalize weed, period. Liberal politicians would have promised the world to get their jobs back in Ottawa ; they know they are in trouble now, because though we are a progressive country, weed is just not on the forefront of Canadian's priorities. No one sitting around conference tables believe that weed will produce a viable future workforce. They can argue that it will bring lots of revenue to Ottawa, but most Canadian are not buying this BS.


An important one for sure, his promise to provide jobs through infrastructure and to continue the investigation into missing and murdered women possibly gave him a bit of a leg up! :)

Nobody cares or cared or will care about the missing women. And nobody really wants to know the real answer either. It is just political fodder. You can verify I am right by the amount of real action (not lip service) not taken by this government on the matter.

But legal weed -- who cares about anything else man!

You don't know the rules, just like Donny doesn't know them. You must be a Trumpette.

"Obama’s Global Warming Plan Cost Poor Americans $44 Billion, Raises Taxes By 166%"
Obama's Global Warming Plan Cost Poor Americans $44 Billion | The Daily Caller

re the debate twixt Harper and JT
loonies have two sides

You don't know the rules, just like Donny doesn't know them. You must be a Trumpette.
I'm not sure what part of "NO vote" qualifies as democracy,
but it was STALIN who said:" its not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes"
and he was notoriously not democratic

for or against Trump:
He certainly has illustrated that democracy is NOT what is happening down south

I know Walter, that you have expressed support for Cruz for installation as the republican nominee:
"Ted Cruz Cornered in Awkward Exchange Over Canadian Birth: ‘Next Question!’"
http://www.mediaite.com/online/ted-...d-exchange-over-canadian-birth-next-question/
but, considering the "natural born" clause of the American constitution, (LOL) are you sure that you are not a closet Hitlarry supporter?

Suddenly, Americans love us — because they’re feeling lousy about themselves

Americans have always had positive feelings about Canada — particularly American liberals who envy our universal health care and good-guy foreign policy. But those feelings have always been vague, tempered by our national image problem — the fact that everyone thinks we’re boring. Challenged to come up with world’s dullest headline back in the 1980s, Michael Kinsley, editor of The New Republic, nailed it: “Worthwhile Canadian Initiative.”

Justin Trudeau is not boring. He’s handsome, social-media savvy, has a gorgeous family and even a tattoo. He’s young and of the times. His little temper tantrum this week is likely to only heighten the interest.

When Frazer goes to an event or a dinner these days, everybody wants to talk to him about Trudeau. “He’s vital. He’s high-energy. He’s modern.”

A Canadian politician who actually has celebrity value. What a concept.

Truth is, Canada’s current cachet in the States has less to do with us than it does with the state of American politics. American fascination with Trudeau indicates the sense of desperation many people here feel when they examine their own political landscape.

Barack Obama once symbolized the kind of change that many craved, particularly those on the left. But that was eight years ago, and today Obama is seen by many as a disappointment — a politician whose coolness and intellect are now regarded as signs of weakness, rather than strength.

Bernie Sanders may have captured some of the longing felt by those who once pinned their hopes on Obama, but Bernie’s a 74-year-old socialist from Vermont — hardly a symbol of generational change.

Instead of any sense of excitement over a new kind of leadership, Americans are brooding over the prospect of six more months of a nasty election campaign — between a reality TV star who seldom mentions a rival or a foreign leader without resorting to crude insults, and a political veteran who has trouble shaking her image of arrogance and entitlement.

The personal weaknesses of Trump and Clinton normally would be enough to sink either one of them in a presidential election campaign — if it weren’t for the fact that they’re running against each other. So many Americans are stuck with a choice between two people they don’t like.

So the current interest in Trudeau and Canada could last a while longer. Not much longer, I suspect.

America is a big, diverse place, and while it remains the world’s only real superpower, few Americans are terribly interested in what goes on outside their borders. Even if it is someplace close to upstate New York.

Trudeaus' breastfeeding tweet an 'amazing' show of support for moms

Women usually lead the fight on women's issues, so it's a nice change to have a powerful man take up the cause.

A better title for the thread would be "19 reasons why SOMEONE has fallen in love with Justin Trudeau". There's probably 20 reasons why he's in love with himself!

Trudeau family featured on cover of Paris Match magazine


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family are again the focus of a major international magazine.

Trudeau, his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, and their son Xavier grace the cover of the latest international edition of Paris Match.

The Saturday edition has a six-page photo spread within, and documents the family’s recent trip to France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
