Who has the lower approval ratings, Trudeau or Trump?

There is no comparison that can be made. 2 different countries with 2 different sets of issues and mindsets.

Trudeau may get a minority next time but no majority.

I don't see Singh as a serious contender because of the Turban. Mind you I haven't listened to him at all so maybe I'm missing something. I suppose I should check him out before I write him off because maybe Canada has changed a lot and I didn't notice.....



While campaigning in a region of Quebec known as a sovereignist stronghold, newly elected NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he would respect the province's right to separate if Quebecers voted in favour of it.

Singh made the comment Tuesday in Alma, Que., about 250 kilometres north of Quebec City.

It was Singh's first foray into the province's regions since he was elected. After shaking hands with supporters and sampling cheese curds and blueberry pie, Singh was asked, in French, what he would do if Quebec chose to separate from Canada.

He said that, personally, he would want the country to stay together, but he wouldn't stand in the way if Quebecers voted for sovereignty.

"We will respect the decision of the people, without fail, without a doubt," he said.

Singh said he considers self-determination to be a fundamental right, and he respects all rights equally.

Singh was in Alma alongside Gisèle Dallaire, who is running for the NDP in an Oct. 23 byelection in the Lac-Saint-Jean riding, left vacant by the departure of Conservative MP Denis Lebel.

I've been hoping Trump might be able to inject some sense, knowledge and wisdom into him, not to mention a whole lot of gumption! Yeah, I guess you both have a similar mentality!

You were hoping Trump would do what?
The former has none and the later couldn't assimilate any. Both these nothings have the exact same international criminal mentors.

One thing is certain, the ebb and flow of politics and political parties continues. You're riding high when the other guy stumbles.

Halfway through his mandate is too early to declare the Liberals dead in the water. The spring of 2019 should start the serious back and forth between the parties. No proofs, but I get the feeling that Sheer and the Cons are hanging back, waiting for the spring of 2019. The sniping will continue. The big bores will be brought out when they can do more damage. A standard electioneering routine.

It's better to let Trudeau makes a string of mistakes, no matter how small. They will add up.

The original Trudeau went on to become one of the longest serving PMs in history - his original mania having evaporated after the first year or two.

By the time he retires that view will have changed for everyone but your distant relatives.

Nah, that's what you buy at a sex shop or online. Online if it's custom made. Custom-made is much more comfortable.

Bed of Nailz is to die for, figuratively speaking of course. 6" spikes held in in parallel in a tightly pack that fits existing water-bed frames and the mattress is used to set the stiffness of the spikes. Only store model has rounded ends on the spikes. Stood up you can use it as a mold for body imprints, the thinner the nails the better the detail. Zero resistance to the mold.
Play safe.

October 19th, 2015, Canada’s historically dominant political party was returned to power, almost exactly reestablishing the dynamic that had reigned the country throughout most of the 20th century. The relative banality of this event was belied by the positively rapturous commentary that ensued in the weeks and months that followed. Historic! Stunning! A new dawn! Canada. Is. Back. So laden with inaccuracies, hyperbole, and unrestrained gushing was Trudeau’s media reception at home and abroad that any casual observer could have been forgiven for thinking the country had undergone a seismic political transformation and elected radical new leadership rather than the son of a former Prime Minister at the head of an inveterately centrist brokerage party.

“Canada lurches to the left” proclaimed David Frum in The Atlantic, equating Trudeau with the likes of Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders. The UK’s Express called him “Canada’s new leftwing PM.” Trudeau’s pledge to run modest budget deficits even earned him an “anti-austerity” label, and The Independent’s Hannah Fearn declared that his government was “shaping up to be one of the most ambitious liberal premierships in modern history.”

Trudeau-themed clickbait burst forth in a mighty stream, with a sickly and unrelenting deluge of schmaltzy profiles of the new Dauphine of Davos. Trudeau’s particular brand of social media harlotry quickly took the internet by storm thanks to a series of Candid™ moments showcasing the adorkable statesman in Star Wars regalia, Spontaneously™ “photobombing” weddings, and Accidentally™ losing his shirt in all kinds of places where professional photographers were readily available to immortalize the mishap. Social media swooned at his yoga poses and his variety of colorful themed socks. Even in an age where grown adults earnestly debate Hodor’s stance on the minimum wage and wonder aloud whether Dumbledore would have backed Brexit, the resulting headlines seemed a burlesque satire of the internet at its most embarrassing:

Internationally, the current of liberalism Trudeau represents—one closely aligned with senior figures in the Clinton wing of the Democratic Party—finds itself uniquely challenged from both the left and right. As such, some have clearly found comfort in the idea that good old-fashioned liberal reformism is thriving north of the 49th parallel, standing defiant against the fascistic carnival of Trumpism (a recent cover of Rolling Stone, boasting a beaming portrait of Trudeau, asked: “Why can’t he be our president?”). To global elites, Trudeau’s success is reassurance that the disastrous order they’ve spent the past several decades presiding over has life in it yet and can be salvaged from oblivion, one superficial gesture or viral video at a time. To many ordinary people, particularly in the liberally-minded middle classes, he offers up a comforting image of rational, well-intentioned, progressive leadership

I'd say give it while, in the next cycle of elections, when you'll see the last great hope of a global, borderless commune of eco values and post national multiculturalism hits the shoals.. which the finish of these insipid, clueless narcissists like Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron. It'll likely be presaged with the final collapse of Free Trade and Oligarchy of Investment Banks and Trading Cartels that now rule the West. Done in by their own failures and ambitions for global domination.

Globe editorial: After two years, the real Justin Trudeau emerges

Remember when the federal government was run by a Machiavellian prime minister and his closest acolytes, who together pulled the levers of power from inside his office at the expense of Parliament? Who mercilessly enforced discipline on his cabinet, and used strict image and message control to present the leader as a man working hard for all the right causes?
Remember that? You should, because it was last week.
If nothing else, the first two years of Mr. Trudeau's Liberal renaissance have demonstrated the degree to which he is similar to Stephen Harper, the Conservative leader he defeated in the 2015 election.

Campbell Clark: Trudeau's government is defeating itself. The Liberals need to refocus if they want to win in 2019

The only thing scarier than the Liberals getting re-elected to a second term is a Conservative government. Either way, we all beef hooked.
