What's the dirt on Justin Trudeau?

Doesn't seem to be anything more than a particularly liberal neoliberal to me, one whose true colours will show very shortly if they haven't be shown already.

Yet keep encountering people who think he's something really special and radical, and everything he does or says (no matter how transparent - all that 'I'm a feminist dad' stuff) seems like justification for ever greater fawning to these people.

What's this fella about?

Just a bit of harmless casual sexism.

How is it sexist (casual or not) to mention something that - pardon the pun - got flashed around the world 35-odd years ago?
Is it sexist to refer to it at all?
To use the euphemism "bush"?

Or are you just being your usual self, manufacturing accusations so that you can feel superior to others?
 
He's a way for liberals to feel good about themselves.

He's the kind face of capitalism.

It helps that he's young (relatively speaking) and good looking. Superficial as it is, it adds to the idea he's 'just like us' - he gets it (whatever 'it' is). He says nice things about women and gay people and what have you, which of course are important things, but that ends up being the substance of his 'progressiveness' and anything else that he does that's dodgy - well we can largely ignore that or we can say that politicians have to make hard choices when they're dealing with the reality of the world, etc.

He's neoliberalism's perfect antidote to Dodgy Dave and Blair and Harper and anger at 'the establishment' - amusingly in a more 'establishment' aligned way than someone like Sanders.

Yes the dad who was "caught" on camera doing a pirouette behind Queen Elisabeth's back in Canada.
I'm glad Harper's out for he was an extremely nasty piece of work though I always stay with my Greens no matter. Harper refused to even debate the Greens . I'll stop I really was disgusted by him. Trudeau is at least a break from Harper who agrees with Trump.

It's strange, but we felt a wave of freedom when Harper got elected. Did you feel it? The country felt more Canadian.

On a more personal note, are you going to see the Tall Ships?

Peeper! Say it ain't so--your confused right? Did you not mean we felt a wave of relief when he was booted out? I was actually having assassination dreams at the time grrrrrrr.

Wow, I love tall ships and this year will def check it out. Cheers!

His Da definitely had a "strange hum off the machinery"

Definite yelp of pain there, at about 0:35. Hard to see if it's a case of this, though:



Canuck comment here compares Trudeau le petit to Charles I - high praise indeed!

Trudeau's actions contradict his pledge to respect Parliament
