Stunning stupidity or just plain uniformed on anything to do with military operations, how can they evolve, how some, or even most in this type of situation need to be covert. He’s talking in circles,rambling on with non answers because he doesn’t have any.
People can listen to this inane banter and still want this nincompoop as leader of this country?
With Obama still in the Oval Office and this dud as our PM would surely spell disaster on all fronts.
Based on his nominal dad’s example, even WW2 wasn’t enough of a cause to engage in. However, a military response is appropriate for a low level domestic crisis (FLQ). History may well repeat itself with Justin nationalizing the oil industry (to protect the environment) and then sending in the army to disarm every western Canadian.
He’s a dangerously stupid man.
His dad’s charm, his mom’s brains.
Debate prep for Prime Minister Harper.
Exactly. Inane banter is right. The Shiny Imam said absolutely nothing of substance. Actually it sounded more like the ravings of a mentally unstable person.
Good for Andrew for persisting and not letting the empty suit get away with saying nothing.
Not mentally unstable, Ken. You had it right the first time. Inane is the perfect description.
And actually he said plenty. He deplores the atrocities of ISIS but wants someone else to do the dirty work of stopping them. This is an expression of pretty-boy narcissism. Can’t get his hands dirty doing any of the hard jobs. Remember, he’s a former part-time teacher. So all he thinks Canada should do is teach, ie what he deems to be “training”. As though he has an impression of pristine classrooms somewhere, and ignoring as inconvenient the question of what happens when bullets come through the windows.
This is not principled pacifism (which I could have some respect for). On top of narcissism, it’s probably also cowardice. I find it interesting that JT wants to play domestic politics with the slavery, rape and massacre going on in the ME. So two further points:
1. in office he will be as hostile to the military and the need for the military as his dad was;
2. he’s echoing the witless foreign policy of Lloyd Axworthy. There’s a long tradition of this kind of nuttery in the Liberals.
This jackass drama queen couldn’t book hair appointments without looking for the root cause of the need for one. Steven Harper is a man, this dweeb is the incarnation of political correctness in a world where more millies and poopsies is the last thing we need. We need men to be men again like Churchill Truman and the many generals they directed, we dont need more of this crap. How far the west has fallen for this falsie to even be considered a leader of a campfire sing song.
The lispy nasal breathy metrosexual banter of a frat boy using his intellectual schtick to score.
Not suited for a leadership position as much as a part time actor auditioning for a character role as an aging gigilo.
Ladies and gentlemen, Leisuresuit Larry
What absolute drivel. This immature vacuous moron with not one iota of a solid idea how to meet the threat of Islam is touted as our future PM. The fluffy non-answers were embarrassing. Roll on the debates with PM Harper.
Can anyone doubt by now why exactly the other two leaders would push for more debates with this dilettante during an election campaign?
“You cannot actually build a strong economy unless you’re being strong on the environment.” -@JustinTrudeau on @AM980News
So he is willing to go to the wall on the environment, but NOT when fighting terrorism?!!!???
Cowardice or ignorance – take your pick.
He does realize that he does not have to go and fight personally. His dad may have peed his pants at the thought of fighting the Nazis and stayed home. I guess no enemy, no matter how brutal, is worth fighting according to this family of cowards. Mom’s brains, dad’s backbone.
Can’t build an economy without being strong on the environment. …hmmmm.
Yeah, I’m sure the environment was top of mind during the industrial revolution and the postwar boom.
And the root cause, if I can get all science fictioney on ya, of the great depression was because there wasn’t a global effort to eradicate man made climate change.
As I alluded to previously, Leisuresuit Larry is reusing pickup lines that frat boys would use at the local cougar bar.
“He does realize that he does not have to go and fight personally.”
But……….but……….but……..Patrick Brazeau!!!!!!!!
As I’ve stated before …. despite the large number of liv out there being spoon-fed large portions of crap from a Harper hating msm, the upcoming election should be a battle between Trudeau the idiot savant (minus the savant part) and the deranged Mulcair to determine who will finish a distant second. Even a gaffe of gigantic proportions (highly unlikely) by the Prime Minister isn’t going to help dumb (Mulcair) and dumber (Trudeau). Harper has these guys so badly outclassed at every level in every category that it’s a sad commentary on the state of the official opposition in this country.
“…Cowardice or ignorance – take your pick.”
What do you mean “or”?
Impressive interview. I think I can get London on my dial.
Did Justin wear a “Je Suis Weenie” T-shirt during the interview?
I guess that subject never came up in Drama class.
Joe… I’m stealing that aging gigilo line…. LOL
His father had use for the military only when the Separatist FLQ in his home province of Quebec scared him sh*tless….that was his big, brave “just watch me” moment as he enacted the wartime measures act.
As for his spawn Justin,let us pray he never gains power alone or in a coalition with the NDP.
And Romney crushed Obama in their first debate. Tore him to pieces. It mattered not one bit.
It’s not we conservatives, or most men, that we need to worry about in the fall. It’s WOMEN, especially single women. This preening fool makes women SWOON, and when women SWOON, they become impervious to all reason. No offense, Kate.
All Justin has to do is say stuff that sounds profound but is actually completely meaningless, and it will keep the women SWOONing. He just has to keep flashing his poofy hair and dreamy eyes at them, and women who are prone to SWOONing will flock to him. Hopefully said empty-headed women are so star-struck they forget to actually go vote.
I’m not confident that Harper can win another majority against this air-head. I hope Canadians can pull through & prove me wrong.
I hope you’re right – but look at Ontario getting that hag Wynne – all the rural (sensible) areas were blue – it was the urban areas that ****ed everything.
The word ‘fop’ comes to mind. Bertie Wooster would make a better leader.
Unfortunately,Trudeau’s bafflegab will play very well with the latte sipping professionals and educated literati of this Country.
I can already see heads nodding in agreement with Trudeau in every Newsroom ,school, college,university, and with every under 50 woman.
Excluded in this subject of Canadian involvement is the question of what non combat advisors do when attacked. Trudeau mentions that “is what Canadians do best.(logistical help). He did not mention the hazard of the opposing forces targeting them. Then there is Thomas Mulcair. Looking for the jugular and cannot find it yet.
I think that Harper will complete crush this useless idiot in a debate, but there is a chance that he won’t be able to box Turdeau into a corner and score points because Turdeau literally knows nothing. It would be like trying to debate economics with a 6 year old.
Beware the stupidity of Turdeau!
I’ve always thought so too, but from last week’s IPSOS poll, here are the numbers of decided voters who say they’ll vote Liberal:
Men: 33%
Women: 29%
Guys, guys. This is all very simple.
Shiny Pony is a LIBERAL. The Liberal answer to all questions about the military is:
“Let the Americans do it.”
He wants “Peace Keeping”. Shouldn’t be hard amongst the advocates of the religion of peace.
cgh: So all he thinks Canada should do is teach, ie what he deems to be “training”. As though he has an impression of pristine classrooms somewhere, and ignoring as inconvenient the question of what happens when bullets come through the windows.
I believe we were supposed to drop off coats as well. Mulcair is also preening for the cameras on this one; IMO it casts both of them in a poor leadership light.
Unfortunately the bigger problem is the cheerleader media, gleefully displaying their utter (feigned?) ignorance of military operations to prop up their pony in the race:

Fortunately we have international sources to give an accurate account of both the conduct of these special op missions and the respect everyone else bestows on our military and our country, for our help in the fight against ISIS:

Ah, but will they be VOTing?

So? Polling is utterly different than voting. We all know LIVs clicking “like” on a Facebook page or the Twitteratzzi forwarding tweets does not quite so often translate into actual voting. Who has the most committed voter base in conjunction with who can pick up the strays and who has the most steadfast leader – THAT will decide the winner of the next election. We all know who comprises the most committed voter base, who is miles ahead as a leader, and which leader strays will look at as a total idiot.
The MSM/PPG can cover for and conceal their little fop in their hole all the live-long day. Eventually he’ll have to stick his head out for a more sustained period of time and this story here is a prime example of exactly what happens when he does.
I hope people here aren’t imagining a one-on-one debate between Harper and Trudeau.
It’ll be 4 parties on stage and they’ll all be trying to score points against Harper.
Mulcair is the only one other than Harper who needs to take shots at Trudeau to gain market share and I’m not sure what issues or policies they could be at odds over.
Hate to say but Pony Boy is the perfect ammunition for those who say women should never have been given the vote. OMG!!!!! Girl’s Night Out!!!!!! Anybody image men voting in that way – after all there have been sooooo many Prime Ministers (Mistresses?) of Canada with a great rack and a killer ass.
A very important question needs asking:
“Shiny Pony, can you pilot a motorcycle while
wearing your dad’s German WW1 Pickelhaube?”
The false promise of “Legal Weed” and Bimbos could make this idiot our overlord.
Tremble.
I’m not putting all my eggs in the debate basket.
It will be moderated by those who want JT as PM.
He may get the questions leaked.
He will be declared the winner if he merely survives without making an enormous ass of himself.
The boxing analogies will be floating like locusts.
Be wary, if he doesn’t implode by the time of the debates, we could be in some serious trouble.
As I said earlier, it’ll be a 4 way debate with 3 of them wanting ABH(Anyone But Harper).
Mulcair, who is the Official Opposition Leader, will be wanting the NDP to a least remain the Official Opposition and keep or expand the NDP’s market share. The NDP has historically shown that they can work with the Liberals and vice versa in a minority government. They have gotten their greatest policy gains through that arrangement.
I have said in previous threads in previous years that I would like to see the Liberals wiped out because I think that a lot of the legacy Liberal vote would go to the Conservatives if the NDP were the alternative.
Ooz said,” I think that a lot of the legacy Liberal vote would go to the Conservatives if the NDP were the alternative.”
so yesterdays man, were are these conservatives of which you speak?
We have liberal lite, liberal medium, and kommunista, conservatives not so much. Harper governs from were the legacy liberals used to govern from, but todays liberals are a far different breed and very few if any can stomach “conservatives”, who actually are liberals. I have a bad gut feeling, and central America is calling!
Saw a great bumper sticker in Nelson BC with a photo of Justin with “does this ASS make my car look Fat?”
Almost ditched the car laughing.
“but todays liberals are a far different breed”
Todays Liberals, legacy liberals, same thing to you.
I was talking about people who just voted Liberal because mom and dad did. Legacy. There are a lot of those people and they would be doing some real soul searching if voting Liberal were not an option.
I’m guessing the term ‘soul searching’ is as puzzling to you as the term ‘legacy Liberal’ but this comment goes out to those who can still think and still have souls.
Im curious how a campaign based on a charming individual works if that key plank in the platform is kept under wraps?
“Todays Liberals, legacy liberals, same thing to you.” The best part of the legacy ran down Mick’s leg…or was it Kieth’s?
………and how many Canajuns are smoking dope, percentage wise? I suspect the numbers are pretty close.
A single issue candidate.
Stay Stoned, Vote for…..um….you know……hairdo…..keef’s kid……
The only military operation this loon would be happy with is the disbandment of the armed forces of Canada.
feminized Western Society produced testosterone challenged Justin Trudeau,
unfortunately the present culture ( and possibly female hormones in our food and water ) are producing millions of testosterone challenged men who think like Trudeau and will vote for him or for any wimps like him. Obama is another good example of testosterone challenged men that are yet very popular.
At this rate Western Civilization will be gone before the end of the century.
