Trudeau were elected PM next election?
I'm curious to know what you think would be different.
Thanks
Well? Come on. Don't be shy

What would be different if...

more taxes on gas and other essentials. higher prices due to higer gas taxes. Probably higher income taxes too.
One of his first actions will be to try and implement a carbon tax, immediately alienating Alberta and Saskatchewan, which in the short term isn't bad politics for him, as he won't have much support in the prairies, and most of that will be in Manitoba. The real result of this will be increased pro-Western nationalism, which has always been simmering since his old man did so much to stoke the fires in the 70's and 80's. This will result in a slow down of the energy industry and be a net negative influence on the entire economy. The forecast tax revenue from the carbon tax will be less than projected, throwing the budget projections off, and the deficit will spiral.
The DND will feel the axe again, as the Liberals love to use the military as a whipping boy, even the shadowy remnant of a military that exists in Canada today. Veteran's Affairs will continue to be ignored by the gov't, unless there is a photo op involved. The Liberals will continue to send troops on "humanitarian" missions and the men and women will struggle heroically to achieve the goals of those missions, despite chronic supply and equipment shortages.
Healthcare will degrade as the federal government will attempt to off-load its share of healthcare costs to the provinces, who for the most part will struggle to maintain quality of care. Wait times will increase.
CPP payments will be cut and the collection age will be upped to 67 (possibly 70), as a short term measure to stave off the now retiring baby boomers and their demands on the system.
National unity will suffer: the West will see an increase in anti-Ontario & Quebec sentiment. The Maritimes will also see a rise, based on the impacts of the Carbon Tax on the east coast off shore oil & gas industry, unless Trudeau grants an exemption to off shore projects, which will ease the negativity in the Maritimes, but raise western alienation to record levels. Separatist movements coming to prominence in the West are a certainty, and a real possibility in the Maritimes, especially Newfoundland-Labrador. BC will continue as it has been: the lower mainland and Vancouver Island will support the Liberals but the interior and NE will not. Quebec will be mildly content as Trudeau will carry on with his father's appeasement strategy, which will not play well outside Quebec.
The Liberals will try to resurrect the National Firearms Registry, one more effort to pacify their urban base, while irritating the rural populations of the nation. Alan Rock will sponsour the resurrection bill from the Senate, where he will be appointed as part of the Liberal wave of appointees to reclaim the upper chamber.
The Liberals will be strong on anti-oil & gas legislation, stated as environmental regulations. They will give Aboriginal Affairs about the same level of attention as Veteran's Affairs (photo op or bust).
Will the country survive? Possibly but it won't look the same as before Trudeau took office.

Has anyone seen the platform he is running on? I haven't so its hard to say.
Some things he has spoken about the pot laws would change I think
the prostitution bill would be revamped or scrapped
The military would assume a more peace keeping role that front line fighting.
You will see renewed interest in the environment and scientists will be given
their freedom to speak back
The civil service would see improvement and the Canada Health Act would be
renewed with the Provinces.
I offer these predictions from statements and indication language in things he
said.
I am not a Liberal but I would prefer him to the present Government who I believe
has failed the people. Yes I am classified as a senior and I will be voting a government
out not a government in. I have not made up my mind between the Libs and the NDP

He won't be the eco-hero people think he will be.
Western Canadian resources will be cranked up all the same along with the massive intermodal inland ports continuing to being built up with "International Free Trade Zones" at the inland ports (GTH and Center Port) with further US integration.
Look for that Assembled in Canada logo at your nearest Ontario WalMart creating faux exports to the EU markets from ON assembly and distribution centers creating faux jobs mainly for uneducated immigrants and TFWs creating value added Benny's for cities that host these operations.
Don't forget more cuddling up with the UN and foreign aid as pre-investment in the TFW human resource market. Fatten up a little before using them as labour to repay the IMF aid.
Summed up, it's more Globalism

Petros you are right in that he won't be an Enviro fanatic and that is a good thing.
A lot of people don't realize the Northern Gateway is not over yet its a long way
from a certainty There is already talk of going after the Provincial Governments
position with one of our referendums that would force the Province to oppose the
deal That is not certain either yet. Suppose it did come to be.
BC would be opposed to the project by referendum and if they didn't abide by it
they would lose the election. The Tories have a lot at stake as well they would lose
a lot of seats at election time.
My main opposition is Enbridge not the pipeline itself.
Trudeau stands a good chance of being elected the people are restless and they
want this government to go
Oh and Walter gave me a negative review on my last comment feels good

Squat.
Government would still waste our money, they'd just be doing it under a different 'philosophy'. Big whup.
A Liberal government is bound to piss a bunch of people off just like a Conservative government is bound to piss a bunch of other people off, so either way people are pissed off.
Frankly I don't think there's any chance for anything better, it's all just SSDD.
Canadian Libs and Cons seem to work well with the US Reps.
Both gas and oil are NEB's turf. Clark's hands are tied as are FNs.
????? Is ssdd?
PEI, you mean God's Country, right?
Me, I am from there and I know God's Country when I see it.
Yessirreee.
