Well Done! – small dead animals

I tried to attend Trudeau’s funeral, but they wouldn’t let me in with a hammer and a stake.

lookout, if one wanted to summarize Trudeau in one statement, yours pretty well does it:
“Trudeau, via the Charter, has destroyed democracy in this country. THAT’S the main reason he’s the worst Canadian.”

Trudeau knew how to talk to people. He was a good communicator. My father moved to this country in 1972 from St Vincent a tiny island in the West Indies as a young man trying to better himself. When he first saw Trudeau he was in awe and thought highly of the man. On TV and the radio listening to him speak, Trudeau soudned right and honourable and correct. But his policies were not like his bloviations. Once my father felt the repression of the government’s beaurocracies and how much harder it made his life he started to read. A lot. St Vincent was run by socialists who promised much but made themselves wealthy. It took years for my father to realize that Trudeau was of the same ilk. He was a complex man who was disastrous in some areas but gave crowds moments to cheer for and had some great moments as a leader. I will not denigrate a dead man who lead this country, but he is the reason my father hasn’t voted for ANY liberals since the 70’s. Trudeau’s legacy to my family is never to trust Liberals.

Thanks for your comment, felis corpulentis. And part of the destruction is the almost complete breakdown of authority in this country in most of its institutions—check out your local public school—which is a direct result of the pernicious Charter.
“Equality”: sounds nice. But it doesn’t work when all manner of people, from the criminal to the uber responsible, from a child to a taxpaying citizen, are lumped together as “equal” and entitled to all kinds of rights. (One notices that only the rights, not the responsibilities, have been codified in the Charter.)
In fact, what’s happened is that only the less responsible types, especially if the elites think that the GROUP they’re from has been unfairly treated in the past, appear to benefit from the Charter. Our judges have even, in effect, told people from majority groups—the very ones who built this country—that the Charter is not for their use. (Schachtschneider case)
Via Trudeau’s Charter, he’s made a fool—and sometimes even mincemeat—of Canadians who value responsibility, freedom, and accountability.
Considering himself to be like God, Trudeau proceeded to make Canada in his own image. Poor us.

Trudeau’s main aim was to clear away as much of our British connection as possible. He had designs to make Canada totally bilingual English/French. He pushed Multiculturalism as a cover to make it more palatable for the masses to accept. It’s proven to be the worst disaster in the history of our country when coupled with his Charter Rights fiasco.
We risk losing so much of what made us a great country. He bloody well was, hands down the worst PM we ever had.
He had what Liberals strive for in a leader, flash and dash, never worry about the substance, just blow ’em away and grab votes.

Trudeau to me was not a good PM. He turned politics on its head with his Rousseauian (top-down approach). This came at a time when US and GB realized the folly of such an approach and cemented their top-down British approach.
Trudeau didn’t understand or care about economics (so what if he went to London School of Economics, so did Bob Rae, and nowadays it’s called the London School of Leftwing Economics). He lied to the electorate on at least two occasions (wage and price controls; not adding new surtax to oil), and gave the electorate the finger. He was still miles ahead of the Liberals who came after him.
I did admire his decisiveness to a point – his handling of the media in Quebec crisis (“just watch me”) was impressive.
No he’s not the worst Canadian. This poll is funny but frankly not relevant. We should leave it at that.

“…without the use of the notwithstanding clause, where elected LEGISLATURES reclaim, from unelected judges, the laws they’ve duly passed—and the judges have struck down—Lord Voldemort, via the Charter, has destroyed democracy in this country. THAT’S the main reason he’s the worst Canadian…In fact, the provincial premiers, who made a backroom deal with the Dark Lord to give birth to this Frankenstein Monster, refused to go along until Section 33 was entrenched…As Wolfman and Fiumara have pointed out, the Chief Death Eater’s legacy to this country has been altogether destructive. Only impressionable types with juvenile, shallow minds, fixated on appearances, could be fooled by this arrogant poltroon.”
“Via He Who Must Not Be Named’s Charter, he’s made a fool—and sometimes even mincemeat—of Canadians who value responsibility, freedom, and accountability. Considering himself to be like God, You Know Who proceeded to make Canada in his own image. Poor us.”
Indeed: Poor. You.

Two comments:
In 1974, when Trudeau was running against Bob Stanfield for the Tories, the MSM repeatedly ran a picture of Stanfield fumbling a football passed to him. My sister (older but not wiser) said to me: “How can you vote for Stanfield? He’s so old and ugly.” I believed then, and now, that Bob Stanfield was a decent and honourable man, but his platform for wage and price controls was anathema to me, so for the first (and only) time of my life, I voted Liberal, based largely on Trudeau’s “Zap, you’re frozen” comment. Of course, once he was in power, he proceeded to invoke the very wage and price controls he had mocked. Thus, I learned in my first election not to trust Liberals.
Second, I was in Ottawa when Her Majesty, ER II, came to Canada to sign the new constitution. It was an ugly April day, but there was quite a crowd on Parliament Hill. Her Majesty gave a short and gracious speech, which received restrained applause. Then PET stood to speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, the clouds opened as well, and his remarks were delivered into a cold, dreary rain. I thought to myself “What kind of omen is this?”. I don’t have a copy of Nineteen-eightyfour available, but I seem to remember O’Brian saying something like the “future of humanity is a rubber truncheon smashing it in the face.” (someone please correct me) It seems to me that that mirrored PET’s philosophy to a “T”; what he wanted, everyone got, like it or not.

Indeed what, Smoke?
You misquote, use quotation marks incorrectly, and so attribute words to me I didn’t say.
Just what do you mean here?

Im on page 75 of ‘Mao’ by the husband wife team of Jung Chang and John Halliday.
not surprised turdeau was such a big fan of the communist despot.
ruthless, self centred, manipulative, elitist view, unconcerned about the people. Mao that is, and those are just a few of the similarities.
turdeau was and remains a closet tyrant. well deserving of the title Worst Canadian.
