The world does not centre on the evil Koch Bros.. and the US... Honestly Tiger.. your comment is likely unknowingly terribly superficial..

Pipeline woes... maybe Koch's don't have enough money or are actually irrelevant to the picture.. cbc.ca

but I digress..
re Mr. Trudeau..

popular.. sure.. so are the Kardashians neh ? A very poor judge of value..

The Blackface stuff.. I have posted several times it is no big deal IMO.. even here I posted same to Rose.. Maybe on NNBM I don't recall which... The irony was delicious though considering his self presentation to the world..

Now some meat..

Our First Nations (some/many) suffer deplorable conditions.. while their chiefs flourish... The former C PM Harper put in a transparency protocol to ensure prier fiscal management.. Trudeau dropped a key enforcement mechanism.. nationalpost.com

in 2015 Trudeau's platform contained electoral reform.. (why I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt) .. Soon after winning he said no one cared and dropped it.. globalnews.ca Obviously some of us did ndp.ca It was a PLATFORM item.. Both the NDP and Greens promised it this go... Trudeau.. errrr...
Interestingly look at the Lib majority vs popular vote.. I guess Trudeau is prescient ? Look at the results nationalpost.com he is popular LOL .. er not so much... Progressives disenchanted but hold their noses nationalpost.com

Are you familiar with the SNC Lavelin affair .. He definitely broke ethics rules.. trying to encourage his minister to cheat... YES cheat... took anger out on his minister.. booted her from the party.. Our PM unlike many (most ?) parliaments is NOT elected by MPs.. but by party members.. This gives him far more power.. More like the old Roman Princeps.. and certainly not just First Among Equals as it should be.. remember Our PM is NOT the executive branch as is your prez..

WE KNOW he unethically exerted influence.. cbc.ca

An interesting Washington Post commentary on Trudeau Brand.. washingtonpost.com

I was hoping for a lot more Orange at least... Our Cs can not for a coalition (be propped up by another party.. we don't have official coalitions as Europe and Israel do..) We don't do coalitions... Once I think...

as an aside .. a fun factoid... if the idea that our Conservatives used to be called Progressive Conservatives (A Canuck oxymoron ? :)) (still such at the provincial level at least in Ontario ) look at what they were called before becoming progressive LOL en.wikipedia.org

There is more.. Our PM is a caricature... Were it not for our Canuck preoccupation with all these American our C party would be viewed as it shouyld be as a centrist party.. They would not be nearly conservative to be labelled otherwise in the US... but effectively the Liberals have convinced much of the electorate that electing a Sheer is like electing a Trump...So far off the mark it is laughable..
