I'm not disparaging the teaching occupation at all. I respect the occupation as very important. It's more to the fact that people are critical of Trump as entitled then ignore the entitlement of Trudeau.

Trudeau was not even a full time teacher, he was a part time drama teacher. Guess you are not interested in having someone leading the country that has any experience or education in business or economics. I sure am.
At least Harper graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics and then went on to graduate with a master's degree in economics.
Trudeau is clueless, unless you consider knowledge on how to apply theatrical makeup a valuable skill.

Has he ever run a successful business? To be critical of Trump and call him entitled is funny when you look at Trudeau.

I don't know exactly, but i believe he was a teacher for 7 years. As for running a successful business, I'm only aware of the non-profit organization he ran I mentioned earlier - unfortunately, their funding was cut under the Harper government.

Actually, he was. Taught math and french full time. He was a substitute drama teacher out of school. I think you'll find many students coming out of teaching school take on substitution jobs until a position opens up.

Stats on lottery winners. I'm sure it varies by a percent or two regionally.

At least in Drama School he did learn how to cry on cue, which comes in handy for Liberals

yes, wrong. You said his experience was as a part time drama teacher. You had no clue as to what his actual experience was.
And Klein had no experience in business or economics. Your contention is totally invalid. In plain English, plain wrong.
You are entitled to your opinions They just seem to be rarely based on fact. Sorry. Cheers.

Its not about me or you being happy. All the Trump cheerleaders rant about fake news and yet when you perpetuate it. Phwph its no big deal.
Acknowledge when wrong in dicussions and it will be much more cordial and factual. Making for a much better conversation.

I don't think that anyone is disparaging the profession. Just that his accomplishments seem a little underwhelming. Especially given who we had in before.
I believe that any political office should be a true meritocracy. And Mr. Harper had the education, intelligence and the background.
And if it came right down to it I would rather see you in there before Trulander.
Don't let it get to your head, I essentially set the bar on the floor. Lol. ?

Is Justin a strong leader? Is Justin knowledgeable about economics? Is Justin a strong negotiator? Does he have anything worthwhile to say regarding Islamic terrorists, immigration or economic reform? No?
He has nice socks.
That's really what everyone looks for in a leader.

Hey, I'm more underwhelmed by his accomplishments since he has taken office than before. Heck, he might have been a half decent teacher. LOL

How the rest of the world views Trump, is this thread?
People have posted here that Trump is the laughing Stock of the world. I humbly submit that we are the laughing stock of the world.
I can guarantee you that Trump will eat Justin alive faster then he eats a cupcake from his favorite bakery on 5th Avenue.
Justin Trudeau? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Whoa ......... don't start with the Trump supporter and present actual facts. They are not used to accepting those.
They are too used to lapping up all the BS spouting from Trump.

I did not say anything like that at all, you said Trudeau never worked a day in his life or ran a business. I was merely pointing out you were incorrect.
On top of being a substitute drama teacher (see the difference?) he was also a permanent French and Math teacher. But you already knew that

He probably could, he would rudely push little kids from Montenegro aside and insert his fat butt up to the front of the line and push that cupcake down and chew it with real Vigour.
It might be the only few seconds his mouth would be moving where there weren't lies spilling from it.

Are you really asking ME about MY ability to handle the truth????
Why don't you just scroll up and see WHO got lit up (by a few contributors) for not telling the truth.
Don't destroy the last shred of credibility you might have left with a few people.
