Stuff like this and the “base” he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106

    I’m usually reluctant to judge a person I’ve never heard of before based on one quote with no context. Regardless, I’m pretty comfortable saying that this guy can go fuck himself.

          Unfortunately it seems likely. I don’t think Trudeau should run again, he has lost any charm he once might have had with many voters and has too much baggage. Liberals are doomed if he runs, but they might have a chance with a fresh face.

            Said it before, will say it again. I’ll vote for a chimp in a red shirt if that’s what it takes to keep this guy from being the PM.

    This dude doesn’t look like he’s worked a day in his life. Kind of good to know the conservative wormy look doesn’t know borders though.

      For those who don’t know, he’s never had a full time job outside of politics, he’s as far as someone can be from an everyday normal guy. Born in 1979, he’s got a BA in international relations and got elected at the age of 25 after 9 years of involvement in politics in one way or another. He’s been undefeated in his riding every since.

      That means that at the age of 25, PP was making 141k/year and started receiving a parliamentary role bonus in 2006 when he became parliamentary secretary of the president of the Treasury board and has received one at all times ever since.

      This man pretends to talk for blue collars and the poor, he’s worth multiple millions, doesn’t live in his own house that’s 25 minutes away from the parliament because he’s allowed to live in the official residence of the leader of the opposition… That’s 15 minutes closer…

      This guy has been living off Canadians’ taxes for half of his life.

        I can’t even imagine what earning double a living wage would have done to my psyche in my twenties. I’m middle aged and just now finding stability - and let me tell you, it wasn’t because I kept working hard. If I’d just kept working hard, I’d still be poor.
