Have Justin Trudeau’s word against support to separatists: Amarinder Singh

Later, the Punjab government said in a statement released in the evening, “The categorical assurance from Trudeau came when Captain Amarinder sought the Canadian PM’s cooperation in cracking down on separatism and hate crime by a fringe element, constituting a miniscule percentage of Canada’s population.”


So...Trudeau schedules an emergency meeting with Amirinder Singh to try and smooth over tensions and raw feelings between them by assuring him that he is against separatist hate groups in the Canadian Sikh population, then as soon as the meeting is finished he promptly invites a member of a Sikh extremist organization banned as a terrorist group...an attempted murderer, Jaspal Atwal, to dinner ...and his wife starts snapping selfies with him. Unreal!!

There is no doubt Trudeau is either completely and totally clueless, or ideology driven to the point of mental illness.

What's wrong with your PM? Is he mentally ill? I don't remember Theresa May going all Bollywood when she visited India over a year ago.

Justin Trudeau's 'Bollywood' wardrobe amuses Indians - BBC News

@OmarAbdullah
Is it just me or is this choreographed cuteness all just a bit much now? Also FYI we Indians don’t dress like this every day sir, not even in Bollywood

Even if Trudeau was an Indian groom at his wedding reception he’d look ridiculously overdressed. https://twitter.com/justintrudeau/status/966065322208894976

No, not mentally ill. He's superficial to a fault.

Steven Harper was entirely competent but he seemed to be shy and secretive and not "huggy open" to the outside world. Canada bounced completely the other way and elected a fuzzy cheerleading mascot to "sell the Canadian brand". It has been partially successful but you can see from this fiasco that even a middle power like Canada needs some solid substance behind the Disney character leadership.

I think that an argument could be made for us having an elected cheerleader head of state (as lots of other countries do) when Her Majesty passes on. The ruling Prime Minister can remain the solid administrating position and the Canadian "President" can be the telegenic selfie prop, out in the World selling some sort of fuzzy-wuzzy image of Canada. The two positions DO Not work in one person.

Try opening the link, asshole. It's not my article, not my headline...I didn't write it.

I've completely lost hope that you will ever develop any hint of a f***ing clue.

It could be construed as insulting to the Indians to have Justin strutting around in comic opera costumes. A three piece suit would have signalled that we take India seriously. But this? ...

Imagine of the next US Ambassador to Canada shows up dressed up like a Lumberjack and his wife like Rose Marie.

Maybe the Indian PM will do that to make a point.

Cultural appropriation!

Crucify him!

Crucify him!

If he doesn't profess the Christian Faith, wouldn't crucifixion be cultural appropriation too?

Question: Why am I starting to pity the fool... er... I mean the Prime Minister of Canada?

Justin Trudeau is ridiculed by Indians for his 'fake, tacky and annoying' wardrobe of traditional outfits - and finally dons a suit after criticism


  • Justin Trudeau is taking part in an eight-day visit to India with his family
  • For three days, the Canadian Prime Minister was pictured in traditional outfits
  • While the clothing drew praise early on, the tide of opinion soon turned on him
  • Perhaps sensing the mood change, Trudeau donned a suit on Thursday

I would not even consider opening a link from you.

Nobody commenting on the trade deal I see.

Not surprising

250 million from India to Canada

750 million from Canada to India.

A good thing? Yeah.....but nothing spectacular.

Would have happened without Justin's Magical Jester Tour.

He just told an Indian audience that Canada just celebrated the 100th anniversary of Confederation.

Slip of the tongue?

Yeah.....but he does it wayyyy too often.

Um, what trade deal?

I think he's talking about the one that is the same money as we do with the US ... for a week.

But I imagine Hoidy will be first to jump up and cheer when Tater Tot wrecks NAFTA,
telling us it wasn't that much money anyway. :lol:


How much do we want to bet Donald JR will do at least 50 times more money ?

How is Tater Tot going to wreck NAFTA? ... by not knuckling under and caving in to every outrageous American demand? Does that make him some sort of a snowflake?

the billion is private sector money - $750K million to India and $250K million to Canada.

note - CBC says that trade with India equal to one week of trade with USA.
Um, $750K million? $250K million? Maybe YOU should get YOUR mom to proof read your posts first. :lol:
Dumbass.

Agreed. Tater Tot obviously has nothing to do with them (Can you imagine Mr. Theatre Arts playing poker?).

Kind of...
