He was part of expelling Russia from the G7. He seems wary of Putin, Kim and Xi rather than praising and embracing them.

He does not govern via Twitter.

And so on.

I do not approve of his policies but I am more approving of his general approach to government. Except for the ethical breaches, the lies, the corruption, the sense of entitlement, and so on.
He has absolutely no room ever to insult other leaders when you act and sit the way he does.

He doesn't govern at all... Just hand money like it's water to every stupid cause there is, some economic plan.

Lol nice approach to our government!!

Perhaps not in direct response to covid, but Trudeau makes a habit out of lying and avoiding factual information. He interfered with our legal system multiple times.

Trudeau most certainly has been caught insulting foreign leader, Trump for example.

He does seem wary of Putin and Kim, but he puts way too much trust in China, and allows them to take advantage of Canada.


He doesn't use twitter, because he bought off the CBC.

So while the countries and people and specific media may not be identical, he does the same type of things that Trump gets condemned for.

It was an obvious piece of satire that anywhere else on the internet would have been recognized as such. My intent by posting it here was to point out just how ludicrous some of the ideas are that people on this board are buying in to.



The fact that something that silly has offended members here should be a wake up call.
Not really. It came off as drunken rambling.

Vice Admiral Mark Norman . . . accused, harassed, disgraced, ruined . . . . all on the tax-payers $$. There should have been full disclosure on this debacle. All this goes right back to the part-time drama teacher . . . .
To critique President Trump endlessly, while we are made a fool of by an inept Prime Minister . . . . makes us look as foolish as he.

That post read more like the rabid ramblings of an incensed, basement dwelling Redditor or 4chan user than drunken satire.
Almost like something a CBC editor would write.

Of course it was written drunk! In this context it was appropriate to be inebriated as most conspiracy theories are also drunken rambling.

'Dancing Pineapple Farts' could have used some explanation that it was an activation phrase for a sleeper cell. But putting that post in context and explaining it would have ruined the intended message.

I've been very outspoken about these conspiracy theories on this forum and I hope you will allow me to continue to challenge these idiotic ideas. Next time I'll do it without being such a troll about it.

You must've missed the SNC Affair and how he and the Liberal government treated former star colleagues, Wilson-Raybould & Philpott? Slandering and attacking thru rumours and innuendo is so much better than Trump's name calling...

Or when Trudeau was caught on camera mocking and gossiping about Trump, with a group of other world leaders?

I agree that Trudeau's treatment of Wilson-Raybould was shameful. His gossiping about Trump was not intended to be public. That doesn't necessarily excuse it.

I was referring to Trump tweeting, unnecessarily, about former aides and employees and calling them a dog, a lowlife, dumb as a rock, lazy as hell, weak, not very smart, fraudster, clueless and other slurs. Don't forget that he appointed or hired all these people while bragging about how good they were and what a good judge of character he is. Even though his subsequent actions showed how poor his hiring and nominating to be, he didn't need to make public spectacles as he changed his mind about these men and women. Or, perhaps, he was just trying to cover up his inability to listen to anyone who has the facts and happens to disagree with the "king" as another poster on here called him.

For no reason except his narcissism and his lack of understanding of world affairs, Trump has variously praised and slagged China, called Kim a madman and sick puppy but also said they had a very good relationship, called Angela Merkel stupid, and tried to buy Greenland.

Trudeau, despite his many faults, has never resorted to this childish approach to diplomacy.

BTW which other world leaders has Trudeau publicly insulted?

I can't stand to defend Trudeau any more and the Trump fans are not really open to discussing their hero's faults anyway.

World affairs....have you been to any store lately, lots of empty shelves...we are too dependent on the world to supply us with basic things. This is what happens when only goal is to line your pocket with money while employing oppressed in 3rd world countries. Compete with this nonsense and you're bound to come up empty eventually.

Angela Merkel the EU propagator managed to indebt entire union in record time. When i look at what has taken place in my old country Croatia , i am honestly disgusted at a mere mention of her name or any other person from EU bandwagon. Self promoting imbecils without any respect for working class.

None he licks everyone's arse clean, except our closest friend.... The states....Which would you choose trump or truedaue?

I also never seen trump pay a terrorist 10.5 million or cry his eyes out on tv. The mere sight of him only encourage other countries to want to take ours over.

Everyone who bashes trump should think twice because if the world went to war who would canada run to for help?..., the states because our guy would be nowhere to be found.

Other world leaders may have been insulted that Trudeau tried to be friendly with them . . . shunned handshakes are a good visual example.

'Childish approach to diplomacy' . . . how could anyone be more childish than the entire Trudeau family's costume embarrassment in India. No one of any importance, except maybe the cab driver, went to meet him and his entourage of fools and terrorists . . .

Trudeau has 'insulted' the Canadian citizens . . . has publicly embarrassed this country.

Trudeau’s handling of the Japanese delegates during the TPP negotiations were exactly as described above. Not defending trump, but Trudeau most definitely is not better.

Hes a troll with no contributi9ns except to defend the contrary.

If I read this correctly...George has international charities. Those charities wanted government support. US said no because it was helping provide access to AIDS protection and unplanned pregnancy and maybe abortions and that one was directly helping third world prostitutes.

No deep state.

Just the governments right to say no based upon their policy at the time. Could change with Democrats.

One poster made light of the deep state theory.

This was a very simple court challenge as likely under Obama this charity was supported.

Weird thread.

Yup everyone who disagrees with you is a lowlife and a moron. Life is so much easier when you don't think and only listen to opinions you agree with. Ignorance is bliss.

Here's the deal. If all anyone contributes to this forum is arguments and dissension, and posts mostly in general discussion, my tolerance for them will be shorter than my Oilers stay in the playoffs. And I won't be waiting for you to have two pages of suspensions and infractions either. This is an outdoors forum. If you're hear basically for back and forth bickering in General Discussion, you are only a detriment to this forum, and will be treated as such.
