Congratulations Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
- Thread starter B00Mer
- Start date
Justin extended the olive branch in his speech yesterday...
"Conservatives are not our enemies, they are our neighbours."
"Conservatives are not our enemies, they are our neighbours."
I'm glad Stephen Harper is history.
But i was hoping for a minority coalition between the NDP and Liberals... so they could keep each other in check.
The Liberals got their majority by following the old party tried and true strategy of placing themselves in the centre of the politcal stream and letting voters define them. The problem with that is it produces a political vehicle that drifts with the current.. without any sense of propulsion that a political philosophy can provide. That means they'll be unable to steer to avoid the whirlpools and waterfalls that lie in its path.
Justin Trudeau himself cobbled together the party by overturning some cherished Liberal traditions.. including scrapping its freedom of conscience provision for moral questions. You were either pro abortion, pro euthenasia, pro homosexual marriage.. or Justin wouldn't sign your nomination papers. Far from imposing a more cohesive party.. this has robbed the party of its integrity as a centrist construct.. and left deep tensions in the caucus.
Trudeau is a much different leader than Pierre Eliot. First of all PET was an introvert, and drew his energy from internal resources. Justin is an extrovert and draws his energy from those around him and from the zeitgeist of the times. He is no visionary.. he reacts.. or responds. He's not for anything and he's not against anything either. He lacks his father's intellectual heft, his political skills and his ruthlessness. Which he's going to need to keep this very disparate party together.
I expect the honeymoon will last 6 to 9 months..and then cracks leading to deep fissures will appear. He faces imminent crises.. economic, cultural, social which he's ill equipped to handle.
Notably he'll capitulate to the TPP like Chretien did to NAFTA. There is no national vision in the Liberal platform, that defines a national integrated industrial policy.. there's just the 'drift' with Free Trade cult. The same with the fraud of AGW. Justin doesn't have a clue. Other people have told him its something he has to worry about and he doesn't have the independence of reason to see that its nonsense.. and dangerous.
The Liberal investment in infrastructure is one of its good ideas. But it's total lack of a comprehensive integrated national vision means everything it done will be slapdash and uncoordinated and unlikely to create any economic synergy.
Unfortunately we have a real light weight for PM. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise by his actions.. but i'd be shocked if that happened.

Ahhhhh.... I remember those days! After Obama's first election win and 8 years of whining like biatches the Liberal Democrats finally thought that now was the time for reuniting and cooperation and getting behind Obama.
And I suppose Flossy wants that as well? Now all curmudgeons are his friends and neighbors.
Funny stuff.
That was the time Justin wiped the floor with Canadian Bear's pride and joy. Ever since, the social conservatives started calling Justin, Justine in a feeble attempt to put him down by feminising his name. They only manage to embarrass themselves because that's the type of thing elementary school children do, not grown men. I believe this level of immaturity showcased by Harper's supporters is one of the big reasons people were looking for change.
Ya but folks like Loc are the type of neighbour that will go **** on your lawn out of spite.
Well we can still report them to the Barbaric and Cultural Practices hotline if they get too unruly.
I know you won't believe me but I do share your contempt for the masses. Almost completely.
I'll be just as quick to sh it on the new prince as I was on Benito Harpler. I doubt if this new tool will get arround to telling us that WWIII has already started. Nor discuss our chances.

He sorta blow it when he said; "Quebec is making a real return into the government of Canada." I turned it off then.
yes, just like pro hockey, when its over, the defeated shakes hands with the victor and moves on.
good luck to Justin trudeau.
that is the classy thing to do, no sulking, no booing and hissing, respect the victor and the
choice of the people.

Truly that is the Spirit, regardless of what people think of him, he will be our Prime Minister for for the next four years after he is sworn in...
Canadians should stand behind our new PM.
