    Yup, that one. The guy Canada thought would be better than Harper. Not that Harper was great either but after three terms of Trudeau the CPC could have probably brought him back.

      Sounds like this Trudeau guy took our country for a ride.

      Is he also that mthrfkr that siphoned money into his mum’s account thru “WeCharity”? A charity mired in corruption and “white saviour” propaganda? Involving that Craig Kielburger POS who exploited the plight of Christian indentured slaves like Iqbal Masih in Pakistan to increase his family’s net worth without giving a penny to the victims?

        I mean, yes he’s a corrupt politician. And yes he had a corrupt politician daddy. I challenge you to show me a politician who isn’t corrupt.

          That’s kinda why we lean towards the lesser of two evils at the polls.

          When you play the “not corrupt” character in public, you get more criticism.

          Most of us know and expect Pierre PP to be a total POS. You don’t sit with that core base without being a total POS.

            I mean, then we kinda get what we deserve and don’t really have any room to complain about what we voted for. We did it to ourselves.

              We hoped Carney won’t be as shitty as we knew Pierre PP and CPC to be.

              We had no other realistic choice. Blanchet and Singh were nonstarters.

              PPC and Green Party only really exist to keep May and Bernier employed.

              We did it to ourselves because it was our only option at that point in time.

                Well, on that, he’s not. But that hasn’t stopped the complaining.

                We had no other realistic choice. Blanchet and Singh were nonstarters.

                That’s an excuse and a poor one. You always have a choice. You made that choice.

                PPC and Green Party only really exist to keep May and Bernier employed.

                On this you’ll get no argument from me.

                We did it to ourselves because it was our only option at that point in time.

                Absolutely not. And part of the reason I agree with you about PPC and Green is exactly this statement.

                  I’m not saying he’s some monster. But, why shouldn’t plebs complain about some of the things PM is choosing to do?

                  Poor, working class people didn’t get inspired by Singh. Most of the country doesn’t agree with a lot of the stuff BQ stands for.

                  PM’s got the majority now. He’ll do as he please and I’ll waste my time and energy bitchin about it.

                    If you’re complaining constructively, fine. If you’re complaining just to hear yourself talk, save your energy. And the way you’re complaining right now, you’re doing it just to hear yourself talk.

                    Poor, working class people didn’t get inspired by Singh. Most of the country doesn’t agree with a lot of the stuff BQ stands for.

                    Poor, working class people shouldn’t be getting inspired by politicians in the first place. I mean, unless you’re in a union, then maybe Avi’s your guy. And the BQ doesn’t give a shit about most of the country. You can only vote for them in Quebec.

                    PM’s got the majority now. He’ll do as he please and I’ll waste my time and energy bitchin about it.

                    Or, you can put your time and energy into making what he’s doing affect you less. I mean, you’re gonna do what you’re gonna do and that’s your choice, but one of those things is productive.
