  4. So the LIEberals would have you believe that all women should be stored in the ‘trophy cabinet’?
    Yes, well that will leave skid mark, as women leave the party in droves with a heavy foot on the accelerator.

  7. It’s been said that Justine has “his daddy’s name and his mommy’s brain”. I believe ‘they’ got it correct.

  8. He’ll get a pass from the feminists, they’ll just view him like another radical Muslim to defend.

  9. Never forget to remember that watching what you say is only ever for Conservatives. Liberals are Special!
    Shiny Pony is Extra Special.
    Also remember that Leftists as a group are some of the most woman-hating perverts out there. Just look at their blogs, if you can stand it.

  10. Looking for context:
    Can only find this so far:
    http://joeljohannesen.com/my_notes_on_the_cabinet_shuffle_opposition_mouthpiece_festival/
    Note a similar reference to “turning the channel” concerning the national anthem sung first lines in English, the rest in french.
    Looks like Trudeau is taking talking points from conservative pundits and spinning them. Perhaps here he’s getting re-spun.
    If Trudeau intends to field attacks from both sides, then by all means fire away. He’s the scrawny fumbler you always kick off to in the school yard…. Football frequently turned into to smear the queer during recess. This may prove to be a nostalgic strategy.

  12. HOOOOOOONK. Reality check. The full quote:
    “The only person making any decisions in this government is the prime minister,” Trudeau said Monday morning. “So changing the mouthpieces isn’t going to make much of a difference. Canadians are tired of having elected good people from their communities to be their voices in Ottawa and instead getting just the voice of the prime minister.”
    Unless you guys can find where he actually said anything remotely resembling “women in cabinet are just mouthpieces”? Won’t hold my breath.

  13. John, you cabbage head! He said it in Stephen Taylor’s thingy at the top of this page! Now start holding your breath.

  15. Taylor has tweeted (1 hr. ago) that it was said on a live video feed. No links available as yet.”sic”
    So… the ball has been fumbled, these are the glorious moments just prior to the sack when the squeamish turn away.

  17. When Justin is PM …. there will be one woman’s voice that will be heard loud and clear …. and it will be obeyed. That would be Margaret Trudeau that genius from the West Coast. We have that going for us.

  18. Shhhhh – quiet – hear that hissing sound? That’s the hot air leaking out of the Pony boy’s popularity balloon.

  19. I’m really having a problem with taking this guy seriously.
    All the pundits that told us not to take him for granted, have this far not been proven to be correct, as I have yet to see anything to demonstrate the mental ability to out wit lizzy may, let alone Thomas Mucliar. Not even consider him a threat to Harper if he’s got this much of a tin ear.
    He’s road kill.

  20. if Justin turdeau manages to become prime minister of Canada it will simply re-enforce my long standing negative opinion concerning the intellectual ability of the average voter.

  21. Can anyone imagine if Stephen Harper had inferred Women Cabinet Ministers were “mouthpieces”?
    The presses and TV channels and radio talk shows would be on fire!
    Trudeau shouldn’t be allowed out without supervision, he’s a flaming disaster.

  24. But his hair is so preeeeeeeettttyyyy!
    Canadians get the government they vote for. His dad was at least proactive in trying to destroy Canada. For Justin, the destruction of this great country will be accidental. He’s not even clever enough to be malicious.

  25. To be fair, his comparison for women in cabinet and ability included Hedy Fry, Judy (Stripper) Sgro, and the mouth piece of mouth pieces, Sheila Copps.

  26. Oh, I don’t doubt papa taught Justin all he knew.
    Margaret Sinclair at least has the excuse that what made her an unfit mother can be cured these days. Pierre Trudeau ruined his son’s soul as deliberately and thoroughly as the Jesuits ruined Pierre’s, and died unrepentant. (Describing your debauched adventures to an envious priest on your deathbed when it’s far too late to make any meaningful amends does not constitute repentance.) Mouthpiece indeed—and I don’t just mean Justin’s taking his father’s orders from hell.
    Trust me—one day we’ll find out the truth about just how thoroughly Justin took his mother’s place after papa’s “beard” wore out her welcome at 24 Sussex Drive.
    Assuming, of course, that the Libranos don’t get their hands on the suicide note before the RCMP.

  27. He opens the interview question as to what he thinks about the Prime Minister’s decisions so far with:
    “Well we haven’t;” (and then corrects himself to)
    “I haven’t been working hard…”
    Then he is asked specifically …
    “Half of the new faces are women; your thoughts?
    “…Changing the mouthpieces is not going to make much of a difference. …”
    So much for inclusiveness.
    The rest is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkRfvTrwQD8
    Interesting that while doing nothing as liberal leader he is compelled to criticize the Prime Minister who is doing something.
    A very telling confession indeed.
    Let the bone snapping commence.

  28. So he never actually said anything remotely resembling “women are mouthpieces”.
    You have simply decided to infer that meaning to score political points. It’s very, very clear that he is saying it doesn’t matter who occupies a cabinet seat under Harper, be they women, man, White or minority, they are merely there to serve as mouthpieces for the PMO.
    Your tweet is indefensible Stephen.

  29. That is precisely what I was thinking, Liz. Imagine Robert Fife salivating at his teleprompter trying to investigate the transgression and totally offensive and sexist comments made. I’m sure there would be ‘mouth-pieces’ (errr, sorry) from NOW coming on the tube lambasting the PM and demanding his resignation and a certain royal commission on the matter.

  30. I wish nothing but the worst for Shiny Pony but this really is a stretch. I hate him and I can understand that he is not saying women are mouth pieces but that members of Harper’s cabinet are mouth pieces.
    I’m all for beating them at their own game but it has to hold up to scrutiny a little better than this has.

  31. Oh Liz… stop trying to make the PM out to be a victim. “BUTBUTBUT… what if the PM said this?!!!”
    Well… if he said what Trudeau said… big deal. Because he very clearly said that the cabinet shuffle merely exchanged one set of “mouthpieces” for another, regardless of their sex. That was very clearly the meaning of what he said. There was nothing else implied, and to reach for that indicates that Conservatives are a bunch of whiners looking for any excuse, however far fetched, to be critical of Trudeau.
    Trudeau implied nothing of the sort. YOU, Taylor, and the rest of the gang here, inferred what you wanted.

  32. I have no problem whatsoever reinterpreting Trudeau’s dim witted verbal diarrhea to suit my purposes. Fork him and every useless tool that supports him.

  33. ITT Stephen Taylor (integrity-free version) mendaciously takes a comment from Trudeau grossly out of context and the SDA idiocracy eats it up uncritically.

  34. I heard the words “talking heads” come from Justin Trudeau’s mouth. Do my ears deceive me?
    Let’s deduce this was as it usually is with Trudeau- the foot-in-the-mouth syndrome – and call it a day?

  35. Mr. Trudeau, Jr. has developed a real Neil Kinnock quality about him, hasn’t he? You know, “The sun’s out, and so are the Tories.” To which John Major replied with another Conservative majority less than twelve hours later.
    Why not call Stephen Harper a “piece of s—” again, while he was at it? Does he really think (pardon that, er, pun) that any of the women in the Conservative caucus are going to be demoralized by any of that? More likely, in my opinion, that they’re going to respond with the attitude of Margaret Thatcher, as expressed at p. 858-859 of “The Downing Street Years” (Harper Collins, 1993), to wit:
    “Mr. Kinnock, in all his years as Opposition leader, never let me down. Right to the end, he struck every wrong note. On this occasion he delivered a speech that might have served if I had announced my intention to stand for the second ballot. It was a standard, partisan rant. One concession to the generosity that the House feels on such occasions…might have exploited the discomfiture that was palpably growing on the Tory benches. It might have disarmed me and eroded the control that was barely keeping my emotions in check. Instead, however, he managed to fill me and the benches behind me with his own partisan indignation and intensified the newfound Tory unity — in the circumstances a remarkable, if perverse, achievement.”
    Which is all the more ironic, don’t you think, considering that Michelle Rempel, who was appointed to cabinet today, gave a much different response to Mrs. Thatcher’s career (upon the latter’s death) than Kim Campbell gave when she won the PC leadership (“I am me”)?
    Why not grab a page from Tony Blair, and say something like, “We were looking for two or three things from the cabinet shuffle [articulate, in an avuncular and non-strident way, A., B., and (as required) C.] I’m sorry, but we just don’t see any of that. On the other hand, we congratulate Mr. Harper for advancing the cause of women in politics in this great country.”? That might actually have allowed for the, um, Liberals to develop a bit of a narrative as to why they actually, er, have something to offer Canadians other than HDS (which is so vociferously expressed by several of the trolls around here).
    The “kid”, who’s actually, I think, older than Robert Zimmerman, Jr., clearly has a very long way to go: I seriously doubt, at this point, that he can get there from here. On the other hand, if Mr. Trudeau, Jr. were half as good as Mr. Zimmerman, Jr., I would be worried…

  36. Trudeau completely gave a question set up to recognize the increased role of women in the cabinet a pass in order to stay on message.
    The simple preface while I support the expanding role of women followed by the rest would have cleared him from this obvious snub. He was being interviewed by a female reporter. His base is female.
    Well, perhaps. Given the fact that he admittedly does nothing, I suggest that his true support is not political. Evidence here:
    Endure it, or just read the last sentence.

  37. The context of the comment is that it matters not whether it’s a woman or a man that Harper appoints to cabinet … they’re all mouthpieces for the dictator.
    So, I don’t take it as a slight against women, but an inaccurate portrayal of the minister’s relationship with the prime minister.
    In actual fact, it doesn’t matter who the prime minister is … the PM has the final authority whether it’s Liberal, NDP or Conservative.
    Just a cheap politics-as-usual statement to fool the masses.
    And as some commentators have already pointed out, many jumped on the tweet without checking out the facts.

  38. Mr. Trudeau, Jr. has developed a real Neil Kinnock quality about him, hasn’t he?
    Just go ahead and whistle right past that graveyard.

  39. Appears from the video clip he was taken out of context but do we know what the questioner asked? HOw did we come to accuse him of calling the women Cabinet choices mouthpieces? Was he asked what he thought about so many women being appointed to Cabinet? Did we miss something?
    Poor Justin doesn’t need this, he has enough problems without being misquoted.
    I have a problem with people making comments about his mother,IMO that’s just off base and not called for. Margaret Trudeau doesn’t deserve it and neither does Justin.

  40. This won’t matter because as Kate has pointed out in the past, conservative women aren’t really women.
    However Justin was presented an opportunity to comment on the expanding role of women in government in a general sense and instead chose a partisan jab.
    As for calling new female cabinet ministers “mouthpieces”, when specifically asked not what he thought of the ministers themselves, but of women getting the role; pretending that wasn’t a gaffe is the true stretch.

  42. Liz J,
    On one hand…good for you to stand up to what you see an an injustice. But…understand one thing…Maggie (bi-polar isn’t it) chose this public live and exposed herself (more than some people realize) to its ridicule. That was her choice. Now…Justin is another issue.
    He represents the LIEberal Party of Canada and, by that alone, is open season. He is a political joke. My fear is that he’ll become PM…and I wouldn’t have a clue as to how CLUELESS a person would have to be to vote for him. But, ‘they’re’ out there.
    Still…good onya for standing up for what you believe.
    Garry

  43. The gift that just keeps on giving. It’s really quite breathtaking. He’s ascending the scaffold one mistep at a time.

  44. Liz…Stephen Taylor has provided a link to a vid that shows full context at 3:35 p.m. in this comment section.

  45. John, is it written in a Liberal handbook somewhere, that Liberal mothers must be stoked on Xanax all the while they breat-feed their offspring? How else can you explain how so many Liberals lack any kind of critical thought process?
    Harper appointed 8 women to a Federal cabinet. Probably the very first time in Canadian history, that so many women have had a direct seat at the table, since confederation. And all the leader of the “party of all diversities” can only say is “changing the mouthpieces isn’t going to make much of a difference”. Dismissed a signal event in Canadian political history by dismissing them all.
    He could have said (and should have, being the leader of the “party of all diversities”), that he was pleased to see such a strong representation of women at the very reins of Government (then go on to sneer, as he brings nothing else to the seat of government). No, he simply demonstrates what has been glaringly obvious the last couple of days in the US, that Liberals, don’t for a second, believe in diversity, cultural, racial or ethnic harmony, and at the very least they are the petty Bourgeois dilettantes we’ve always suspect them to be.
    Newsflash for you young lad, Cretien ruled with an iron hand. Martin ruled with an iron hand, Mulroney ruled with an iron hand. Diefenbaker ruled with an iron hand. With the notable exception of a few, Pearson, Joe Who, Turner and Campbell, they all ruled their cabinet with an iron hand. Governments are not democratic. No organization that works, is.

  47. Come on now folks. He didn’t say that.
    I know it’s Turdo la Doo….but you have to be fair. Otherwise, you’re just like them.

  48. His comments here seem to be taken out of context. But one thing I get from his comments seems to be obvious. Turdo has no concept of real leadership or taking responsibility for anything. No party or government can do anything (legally)without final approval from the boss. The liberals have a style of “leadership” where they don’t want to know what their subordinates are up to so that they won’t be accomplices when those same subordinates are caught stealing or taking bribes in brown envelopes. Be assured, this POS would be the worst PM ,even worse than his father, that Canada could ever have.

  49. Jamie MacMaster,
    My comments are not, at all, referring to what Justine said this time around. I’m merely commenting on a person who wants (and thinks…backed by the LIEberals…an even scarier thought) that he has the ability to represent me as my PM.
    The kid is KooKoo.

  50. Oh, come on!
    The “kid” has all the acuity of Chris (played by Rick Rossovich) in “Roxanne” (1987), starring Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah.
    According to Wikipedia, Chris is “a handsome but dim fireman who has just joined C.D. [Bales]’s [Steve Martin’s] unit. As in the play [Cyrano de Bergerac], Bales is touchy about his most prominent feature [long nose as in Pinocchio, perhaps?] (which he cannot have surgically altered because of a dangerous allergy to anesthetics [ethical accountability, perhaps?]).”
    The send up in the movie occurs when C.D., who’s infatuated with the stunning new blond astronomer in town, sends Chris — wearing headphones attached to a walkie-talkie, which system then fails — to whisper sweet nothings in the lady’s ear…
    On the other hand, why don’t we just call him C.D. Howe, rather than C.D. Bales?
    I’ll whistle past the graveyard when you are prepared to do the same: clearly, the marionette wandered off the ranch again today, I truly hope the technology improves: after all, the original movie production of “The Manchurian Candidate” was in 1962. Sorry only for the terribly mixed metaphors.
