  1. Can someone please translate that crap that Turdeau wrote? I only understand Canadian.

  2. « On a 24 sénateurs au Québec et il y en a juste six d’Alberta et de Colombie-Britannique, ça nous avantage. De vouloir l’abolir, c’est de la démagogie. Il va falloir l’améliorer. »
    via Google Translate:
    “We have 24 senators in Quebec and there are just six of Alberta and British Columbia, it’s to our advantage. Abolishing it, this is demagoguery. We’ll have to improve. ”

  3. Heard him speak in Ottawa at a conference along with Stephen Harper and Tom Mulcair. Out classed, out thought and out of his depth.

  4. Seems like the perfect candidate to unify the country….just like his dad.
    Not like that divisive Harper guy.
    (sarcasm off)
    Does this mean the libs are going after the quebecers, which are the dippers base?
    I guess ol’ Angry Tom is going to have to throw a saddle on the Shiny Pony and spur some sense into him.
    There aint a liberal that can’t be rode and there aint a dipper that can’t be throwed! Yee Haw!

  5. A wee ditty. “Moses said to God, One Night. And it was plainly heard. I Think I’ll make a Frenchman. And I make him from a turd. Moses shit the bed that night. And covered it with straw. In the morning the turd arose. And said Come se vaw.”

  6. Please encourage him so we can have ammo for the next election. The whole point of every prime minister from Quebec has been to shaft the west. Looks like Shiny Pony is no different. Never a thought as to what is fair. I wonder why we never have prime ministers from Ontario?

  7. Open the Constitution, it is not done without consulting the provinces, said Saturday the Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, in a remark that could not fail to raise eyebrows his father, who negotiated the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution without Quebec .
    The member for Papineau reacted to the decision of the New Democratic Party launched a campaign to abolish the Upper House, a gesture with which it is absolutely not okay.
    “I think you want to abolish the Senate without consulting the government of Quebec, without listening to what the various provincial governments have to say it, this is a mistake,” he said. “This is the error Harper not to consult the provinces in reforming the Senate is the error Thomas Mulcair not to talk to the provinces of his plan to abolish. ”
    Justin Trudeau said he was convinced that the solution lies in the improvement of the Senate, whose presence benefits greatly in Quebec in his opinion. “To see the reaction of francophones outside Quebec and especially Quebecers understand at some level that it is the weight of the Senate in providing … “Has he argued, without finishing the sentence. “We have 24 senators in Quebec and there are just six of Alberta and British Columbia, it’s to our advantage. Abolishing it, this is demagoguery. We’ll have to improve. ”
    Following the obtaining, by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Senate documents in connection with the scandal of housing benefit unduly claimed by Senators Mike Duffy, Patrick Brazeau and Mac Harb, the Liberal leader has welcomed the police involvement in the folder.
    “We need to restore confidence in our parliamentary system,” he said. “There was a lot of cynicism. If you want a government that can work well, a company that governs well, people should know that the rules are the same for everyone. ”
    From his seat the second opposition, Justin Trudeau promises to stimulate debate on the crisis of the Senate on Monday, because it is unacceptable to him that Nigel Wright, chief of Harper’s cabinet resigned, gave $ 90,000 to parliamentary “to obstruct an investigation.” In his view, the Conservative government is “the most secretive, controlling most we’ve ever had in Canada,” but the fact remains that the Senate should not be sacrificed to find, because it could become “an important tool” .
    “The Senate did extensive research on various issues, there are extraordinary people. We think Romeo Dallaire [lieutenant-general and military career], which promotes peace around the world as a senator. There are extraordinary people, but there is also abuse. A Senate that would work well could bring a lot, “he said.

  8. I wonder why we never have prime ministers from Ontario? Simply put, “The People of Ontario are F’n STUPID”

  9. Albert aardvark has posted a link to a video featuring the “prince of pot” calling out the “prince of pi” over his hypocrisy on the marijuana issue. Definitely worth a boo.

  10. Not as F’n STUPID as a party that as you as a supporter and needs all the votes it can get in Ontario.

  11. So justin makes a point about consulting but doesn’t bother to offer any suggestions on how the senate should be improved? He even stresses how the current arrangement gives an advantage to one province.
    Put the two together, and he will say a great deal about nothing.
    Can’t wait for more gems of pretense when pony does his first dissertation in the house on this “pressing” issue.
    I predict canadians will be treated to another shakesperean knockoff by “I Justin Trudeau” as he rants about that evil over bearing, bully Harper.

  12. I’m sorry, but I just don’t see it: this guy has nothing to offer the country.

  13. PMSH…grow a pair. If that’s the way the Turdeau wants to be,boot him and his province the f**k out!Then again,being originally from Morontario,you haven’t got balls,metro boy.

  14. I have been involved with a lady from Quebec — part of my time in Ottawa — What I experienced: there is a deep inbread hatred of west bread from Radio Canada (i.e. French CBC). Even English CBC itterated this hatred. Every morning I woke up I was angry listening to CBC Ottawa. It was a Liberal propaganda machine — example criticizing PM Harper for meeting the Dalai Llama yet PM Chretien refused to meet him and PM Martin only behind closed doors. PM Harper met him in public — what was wrong with this? It was the right thing to do.
    I let my friend’s relatives rant on how Harper is the evil incaranate, how everybody from out-west was the “anti-canadian” with 666 tatoo-ed on their heads.
    After they finished I asked them if they felt better. Then told them my mother’s family was raised in big L.A. (Lethbridge Alberta) and how they were so wrong. I also told them how I spent every summer in Alberta. I also told them how my aunt drilled into me that the only goal of a bureaucrat was to grow bureaucracy. That one thought has always lived with me. I also told them how Calgary died for 15+ years after Trudeau’s NEP which killed off Canadian NOT foreigned owned oil companies. I had worked for Dome Petroleum. It died horribly to be taken over by the Americans — this was a pro-Canadian Canadian owned oil company killed by Trudeau. May he die a thousand deaths as there were many good people (Canadians) working there. The previous CEO of TD Bank wrote the policy for the NEP. I refuse to deal with TD as a matter of principle. This is the legacy Justin Trudeau needs to live up to it and how the mass media will not hold him up to — they are too enamored to him to see how he may be his father’s tool.
    I visited Calgary alot between 1980 & 2005 — most of Calgary was driving junkers and surviving — the boom of the 80’s & 90’s did not exist in Alberta — federal policies were designed to kill alberta.
    I was in Alberta in 2002 and my wife took ill — I took her to emergency and I experienced something I never ever saw in Toronto — Triage in 3 minutes and doctor in 5 minutes. Later I contacted my wife’s family and they were freaking because I was in an Alberta Hospital and they were believeing all the crap propagated on the CBC how Alberta health care was crumbling — HELL NO it was much better that Ontario healthcare by 1000X — example where I was in an emergency room for 10+ hours after a car accident, had an x-ray taken that said — oh yes you had a spiral fracture in your shoulder, got a disdained look when I asked for a pain killer — and then told to go home and come back in 2 weeks where they will break my shoulder again and do surgery and put a metal plate in my shoulder — I am glad I went otherwise and went to St Joseph’s Fracture clinic the next day who reset my shoulder with 5 people (it was painful but interesting and effective) and then cast my shoulder into a cast. St Joseph’s Fracture clinic told me no surgery was required and where shocked by the doctor’s recommendations in Etobicoke General — the fracture technicians at St Josephs knew better than the emergency room doctor in Etobicoke General. Hmmmmm
    Back to Quebec.
    My lady friend’s had known me for 5+ years.
    I shamed my lady’s friends into considering that they knew me and that I was not the evil incarnate with 666 tattoed on the back of my head. Though I had to show the back of my head :). LoL 😉
    PLAIN & SIMPLE: Quebec & Federally funded media in Quebec promote hatred of Alberta and the west. This also occured in Ontario.
    I experienced that everytime I am there. My friend knows otherwise but extended family has a long way to go. Actually my friend like Ukrainian Canadians as they seem to be nicer to women than male french canadians LoL.
    But I digress.
    Problem is the mass media portrays stereotypes that fit their agenda instead of reporting the news.
    The main stream media has failed horribly — the media hystria about Ford and Duffy & Harper is insane and the people propagating this hatred should be evaluated psychologically for obsession.
    I was recently in Alberta for a family funeral — Calgary is alive Southern Ontario is dead.
    Wake up and smell the coffee — time to terminate the reporters/jouranilists/columnists — they are full of shit.
    Just my humble opinion.

  15. Do you know what, Fred?
    When that mental apple fell from that tree it fell on its head.
    It fell real hard.

  16. please please please explain this one in simple terms Justin.
    I pulled it off the open gov’t report on 2012 expenses and no one is reporting it…
    http://www.parl.gc.ca/PublicDisclosure/MemberExpenditures.aspx
    simply select Justin and Harper to compare…
    Member’s Expenditures Report
    April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012
    Trudeau, Justin
    Member Status Constituency name Constituency size Number of electors
    Trudeau, Justin Active Papineau 9 km² 70,973
    total expenses… $379,340.08
    Harper, Right Hon. Stephen
    Member Status Constituency name Constituency size Number of electors
    Harper, Right Hon. Stephen Active Calgary Southwest 80 km² 95,026
    total expenses… 228,934.49
    can someone in the media or on the Left please explain to me how does an “at the time, non-leader of the Liberal Party” run up over $150k more in expenses than the acting PM in a constituency situated an hours drive from Ottawa and 1/9th the size???
    wheres the media on this or are you suggesting this is a non-story???
    and the silence from the Left is deafening…

  17. I’m front the right, actually, but I do feel that the PM is not “acting”, actually: don’t, please, deaden your argument by suggesting otherwise — friendly correction, only.

  18. Well, that finishes him.
    There is enough in that statement to decimate any chance he and the lpc has west of the Ottawa river.
    It demonstrates how clueless he is regarding the senate.
    electing senators is just the first step in fixing it – making it equal – the same # of senators per province is the next. PMSH is under no illusions that that would require reopening the constitution and that the fate of the confederation hangs in the balance with the outcome.
    LT is too naive to no that that is the dynamic to all of this. He is a clueless lightweight.
    That said, so too is premier Brad wall when he says he favours abolishment. SK along with AB are the most vulnerable to abuse if there is no senate to protect their interests. Someone in the sask party needs to tune him in…

  19. Thank-you for that excellent recall of the NEP and the heartbreaking consequences to Albertans in the late 1970’s, gerry from gta. I was in Alberta during the oil boom and the big bust. Turdo was indeed a turd and it seems his offal was reproduced in a prissy, nasty, opportunistic offspring.

  20. C’est une bird, ces’t une plane, non…c’est Turdo le Deux!
    Le Sauveur!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. Is there a rule that JT has to say something stupid everytime he’s getting ahead? I mean he’s right about the nightmare that opening the Constitution would be but 6 vs 24 wat? Doesn’t matter, makes no difference. The Senate’s not going to be changed and Trudeau is still going to be PM.

  22. I believe it simply comes down to this – Quebec has historically held much federal power – that is until in recent years. The corrupt Liberal machine has lost favour with QC and now that the balance of power has largely shifted to the West – Trudeau sees Quebec’s Canadian lifeline in the Senate, For the Senate to go would spell disaster for Quebec and major shift of more power to the West.
    For so-called federalists in Quebec this would be the loss of whatever leverage they would have to keep QC within confederation and thereby continue to suck on the Canadian teat. For Brad Wall, now wanting to do away with the Senate, and like thinking Premiers, this would be the coup that would rid us of this blood-sucking albatross that we need to shed from our identity.
    Time to jetison this Canadian flesh eating disease – and The Trudeau family with it.

  23. +1 Trudeau for the good attitude.
    But I still think we should abolish the senate..
    oh and let’s abolish the parliament too.. and the prime minister.. let’s abolish the whole federal government.

  24. You are completely wrong regarding abolishment.
    Without a senate as counterbalance a govt with a majority based in Ontario and east could easily inflict another nep or worse.
    The senate needs reform to make it EEE. We are on the cusp of getting EE. The third E has always been the most difficult yet also the most necessary.

  25. Yes, the Liberals will get Quebec – possibly. The NDP vote was a protest vote. Stephen Harper has already demonstrated that it is not necessary to win Quebec to get a majority – and there will be another 30 seats, mostly 905 and West next election.
    It’s sephology man.

  26. Choices thus far:
    CPC long standing policy is that the senate needs fixing and lets start with giving provinces the choice to elect senate nominees (like Alberta already does and look no constitutional crisis).
    NDP long standing policy to abolish. Which also would require re negotiating the constitution…and the line for the interest group would form on the left, Quebec special status,INM,Occupy, Council of Canadians etc etc..
    The LPC, until this moment hasn’t really maintained any policy on the Senate except that we can’t do that, and now this new wrinkle, that they like the idea that Quebec gets rep far in excess of what the ROC gets…..sort of like how the country should be a power sharing agreement between Que and Canada….one of those ideas firmly held just after the British won on the Plains of Abraham.
    Laurentian Elites….they are so predictable.

  27. No matter how much we know that Trudeau is a complete light weight who is way out of his league he will almost certainly be the next PM. As an Ontarian, I am doubly cursed as either Wynne or Horwath will most likely be our next premier, despite both their parties almost bankrupting the province within living memory.
    Western Civilization is circling the bowl, there is nothing we can do about it because we are voting for it to happen. The best we can do is prepare our selves and our families the best we can for the post civilizational landscape and “enjoy the decline”.

  28. Justin’s strategy of sucking up to separatists is brilliant, look at the effect it had on Quebecois NDP separatiste…meanwhile in ROC Justine’s Laurentian slip is showing.

  29. Bonjour tête de merde.
    Have I mentioned lately that my Canada does not include Quebec?
    Get lost.

  30. Its like lending money to friends. They come to hate , than shun you. All the while vilifying you because they owe you money.In Quebec that is surviving on the ROC’s largesse they cannot stop the hate. They would not exist without transfer payments & know it. Its why they despise us. Here we call them transfer payments , or danegeld to Quebec.
    When will we have a referendum on Quebec staying in Confederation?
    They are the bums of Canada.

  31. There he goes again – Harper practicing the politics of division.
    Who? Trudeau?
    I am so confused

  32. But he’s leading in the polls and they’re never wrong.
    Utterly niaive comments by Trudeau. Mulcair and Harper will a field day with them.
    Umm, Justin – we will be wasting our time trying to reform, or abolish, the Senate. Trudeau’s idea is hairbrained and you can be sure it won’t see the light of day under the 7/10 50% amending formula. I’m sure Quebec would oppose more Senators for the West. Going from there to measures that require the unanimous consent of the provincial legislatures is pure daydreaming.
    We’re stuck with the Senate right now, warts and all. By all means “reform” it and even hold “elections,” within the present framework and leave it at that. Giving them any true legislative muscle is precisely the wrong approach. It’s still essentially a political hack dumping ground; we shouldn’t be surprised to learn that at this point.

    pill, baby! Looks like I pinked you there yesterday, huh? You play with the bull you get the horn, pill.
    Truthfully, I’m no genius. I certainly have my limitations. Of course, compared to you, pill…
