I think not.

This act required courage, and was carried out by a man of action.

That precludes him from being a member of the LPoC Liberalkid.

And he gave of his heart in spite of society having neglected him. He hadn't done it for profit. He might not be highly educated (or maybe he is, I don't know). He might have some psychological or emotional baggage, or maybe not, I don't know. He might be intelligent or not. But one thing he has is heart, and that alone could help him develop good policies for Canada. I'm sure other MPs would be happy to help him draft some of these bills if needed. Add to that that he would have unique life experiences that coudl help him in drafting legislation that could genuinely give the homeless a hand up rather than a hand out. He'd be supremely fitted to know what the homeless really need. In fact, he'd likely be the one MP all others would have to consult with in getting ideas on how to change hand-out legislation into hand-up legislation.

I don't think he'd fit in with any party. I'd want to vote him in as an independent.

Trudeau a true Liberal leader who was not afraid to bring in the War Measures Act when Quebec was on the verge of a revelution

A Conservative leader would just let Canada be ripped apart

Agreed.

You're joking, right?

Sometimes I wonder about you, Liberalman. Are you really a member of the Liberal Party, or are you an anti-Liberal troll trying to undermine the Liberal Party.

No offense intended.
:lol:...I think you might be onto something.

Nothing like highlighting the most fascist act in Canadian history. Committed by a confirmed joo hater.

I respect Trudeau for his apparent good intentions. I hope they were genuine, but we'll never know.

As for the success of his policies, they're a mixed bag. The OLA, though perhaps well-intentioned, has proven untenable, and coul have been avoided by simple consultation with the wider community, since the probems of the OLA had been foreseen even in his time. He was hard-headed in that sense, and that is what resulted in poor decisions on his part.

By the way, Liberalman. I thought you were opposed to gay marriage being legalized. So am I. But for you to oppose gay marriage and then stand up so unconditionally for Trudeau doesn't make sense to me. Sure I'll acknowledge he had done some good things, and will praise his policy decisions on a bill-by-bill basis. But to just sweepingly praise him so unconditionally seems to conflict with your own basic beliefs. If anything, I'd place you somewhere between Trudeau and Harper.

It was nothing more then a desperate act, by someone well out of his league.

And I certainly am not proud of labour leaders in Nanimo BC being accosted because the War Measures act allowed their civil liberties to be suspended.

Every decision that Trudeau made was for the good of our country even when the province of Alberta wanted the easterners to freeze in the dark he put the rest of Canada first and changed the tax structure but Alberta would not bend which resulted of the mass exit of the oil companies.

I believe that if Trudeau was not prime minister at that time Canada would be American's lackies today

Trudeau may have been the best Prime Minister Canada ever had in the sense that he at least recognized the importance of culture in promoting national unity. He may have made many mistakes, but then again, only those who are willing to advance and develop the nation will make mistakes, and only those who do nothing will not make mistakes.

However, it's time for us to learn from Trudeau's mistakes and be willing to revisit his policies if necessary to correct those mistakes.

Now back to the OP, I think we need more MPs like that hero.

Perhaps he was the best Prime Minister but it was only for eastern Canada. And he did make mistakes. Alienating the west, sticking us with metric system because the US was rumored to be thinking about it, no preparation for the aftereffects of stirring up the charter of r&f, etc., for instance.

The kind of MP I would like to see is intelligent, ethical, HONEST, visionary, resourceful, adaptable, innovative, methodical, analytical, altruistic, efficient, secular, non-pc, etc. and just so most Canadian sheeple would vote for him as an MP, relatively good-looking and charismatic.

So in other words:



No, you're not asking for much, are you Anna?:lol:

Is that all you're asking for? Right now, just well-behaved would already be a step up for most of them. :)

I wasn't asking for anything. I was simply answering the question. lol


" intelligent, ethical, HONEST, visionary, resourceful, adaptable, innovative, methodical, analytical, altruistic, efficient, secular, non-pc, etc. and just so most Canadian sheeple would vote for him as an MP, relatively good-looking and charismatic" and hopefully there would be enough of these sorts to form a government. But they still wouldn't be able to satisfy all Canadians nor would they be able to do very much very fast because of the amount of bureaucracy we have as well as the fact that Laymton and Iggy and Harpy would all be squawking like chickens and delaying efforts.

BTW, one of the qualities included in the "etc." i added would be "non-partisan".
