In Prime Minister Trudeau’s recent visit to Japan, while Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed profound concern about China’s unilateral conquest in the South China Sea, the Canadian PM instead elected to focus his remarks on climate change while charging his officials to undergo a comprehensive assessment of pursuing free trade with China and deepening engagement with Beijing.
I would characterize JTs response as feckless, but that would imply that he has some knowledge of the issue.
He is clueless.
“Understanding the limits of engaging others means learning to say no when our national values and interests are challenged, and requires the strength of our convictions. To date, there has been nothing responsible about Ottawa’s appeasement of Moscow, Tehran and Beijing.”
Turdeau 2 has never been told no in his life. He is nothing more then a spoiled brat, and our enemies know this,and will use it against us, while the HairDeau preens himself with selfies. We are FUBARED!!
Well, Prince Justin Our Beautiful Leader does love China because it is a basic dictatorship.
Bully brat Justin’s brain power is far exceeded by his over rated good looks. Sit back and enjoy him strut his stuff as he leaves world leaders scratching their heads. Who is really running this country?
No. No.
You have it all wrong.
Shiny Pony is just pretending to be a foppish nonthinking figurehead.
Remember Zorro?
His uncle Mao(rice) Strong lived in China.
WHats is it? “Fundamental dictatorship that he likes” or something?
A friend to Canada’s enemies and an enemy to it’s friends. We’ve dealt with it south of the border for seven and a half years now.
You nailed it, Sid. God help North America. The dictators in the UN must be rubbing their hands in glee.
Yeah, he is making use of his thespian training, a drama school teacher using his “talents”, what isn’t scripted for him has the potential for disaster. Meanwhile, enjoy the show, we are paying for it.
WalterF: are you certain Mo Strong is dead?
There were some odd circumstances surrounding his alleged departure. He might still be in China hanging out with Mao who is also probably still around….and bongo trudeau is in touch with them and….
Mo Strong was called “uncle Mo” by once provincial NDP leader turned federal Liberal,Bob Rae. Justin calls Fidel Castro “uncle”. However, Maurice/Mo Strong has left us without seeing his dream of shutting down all industrialized countries come true. He may be working from the “other side”the way things are going in places like the province of Ontario….he may have a direct line to Madam Wynne.
How is it that the airhead is more popular now than last fall?
Could it be that he avoids the hard stuff and takes pictures instead as the one shown here yesterday?
You will note that he does not associate with anybody, busy looking for camera.
Who is it that gives him the popular vote?
Are people so running on empty?
“are you certain Mo Strong is dead? ” I am not. The timing was way too bizarre, I think he will again appear in our midst. Maybe he is getting a sex change.
“Who is really running this country?”
Gerald Butts
I don’t think he is more popular than last fall. Poll are deceiving. In the absence of immediate worries, people are not paying enough attention to have a real impression — apart from what is given to them in the news, and in the news it is all cute photos of Justin. The recent Nanos poll I saw looked good for him on the surface, but it was really about who of the current leaders they prefer for PM. The leader situation on the other side is currently very ambiguous, so I do not think the poll is particularly meaningless.
A worry I have is that he really does come across as dumb in the presence of other world leaders. I cringe every time I see him in a group of experienced world politicians. There can be no faking his incompetence in such a setting. I think his role in various world meetings is largely decorative and I suspect he is mostly ignored.
Meant to say: I do not think recent polls are particularly meaningful!
Western Canada separates, all problems solved.
Why are they doing polls when the two main opposition parties have yet to choose a leader? I suspect it’s just to get the results they want,Trudeau on top. These polls are bogus and a waste of time and money, useful only to get desired results. It’s also a long road to the next election, people are not paying attention. It’s also hard to donate money they keep asking for when you live in Ontario where we are taxed to poverty, some can hardly afford food after paying hydro and water and sewer bills, they just keep going up and up. Fixed incomes do not jive with the cost of living in Wynne’s Ontario. All this and there’s money to subsidize people who can afford an electric car.
Correction: the UN, directed by George Soros, is running this country with Butts merely his local commissar. Shiny Pony is merely a diversion.
Polls and surveys can be deliberately made to be misleading. All one has to do is carefully choose the questions so that one will get the answer one wants.
Polls and surveys use statistical analysis. Remember what Sam Clemens (better known as Mark Twain) said about that sort of thing.
Why are those polls being conducted? To kick the enemy when it’s down. Since neither the Conservatives or the NDP have an official leader, all the polling firm has to ask is something like: “Which party leader do you favour?” By default, people will select PM Hairdo.
Then, using the services of the Canadian Balderdash Corporation, this information is made public.
Remember what Shakespeare wrote in “All’s Well That Ends Well”:
“He will lie, sir, with such volubility that you would think truth were a fool.”
What was all the odd talk about not paying ransoms to kidnappers? I realize that Trudeau needed something to champion and as it is already everyone’s existing policy, they all agreed. To the ignorant savages who vote Liberal he looked like a statesman. He essentially convinced them that the sky is blue. Not paying ransoms is everyone’s existing policy which they periodically ignore for reasons of practicality.
“How is it that the airhead is more popular now than last fall?”
The answer is obvious to anyone who has spent a little time talking to the average voter.
Hollywood hypocrite Leonardo DiCaprio just flew from 8000 miles to receive a enviromental award while he rents a fancy yacht from some big time oil tycoon and narrates a junk sceince film The 11th Hour while living in a big fancy home with no solar panels and has his own private jets and gives a big boring speech on Global Warming after receiving his oscar then demand we all live a simple life him and James Cameron,Luarie David,John Travolta,Al Gore just to name a few of these hypotcrits
The Japanese must be made aware that Trulander said to a primarily white Canadian liberal female crowd how he has an admiration for the “basic dictatorship of China”, just as his father did (refer to “Mao: the Unknown Story” by Jung Chang). There are many reasons why China should never be admired – its grotesque human right record, its support and abuse of North Korea and its citizens, female infanticide, pollution, currency-fixing – but that he openly admitted his admiration for a country that isn’t Canada to a swooning crowd for whom the only good yellow woman is one who does one’s nails should then not surprise the Canadian electorate but will the Japanese. Abe’s advisors should have done their homework and gotten onto this. Canada will not help ANY Asian nation against China. One can guess at what Trudeau’s backers are after in the paper dragon.
In case one missed it, Putin “warned” Poland and Romania for having the audacity to have the US missile shield in their country.
“The answer is obvious to anyone who has spent a little time talking to the average voter.”
And that pretty much explains how we got into this mess. An associate of mine who is afflicted with Harper Derangement Syndrome recently commented how the Conservatives were acting like sore losers by disrupting parliament and causing the PM to leave his seat and straighten things out. I patiently explained that the MP’s milling about and obstructing proceedings were New Democrats with the exception of Gordon Brown who was supposed to be out of his seat at the time. My friend stated that he got his information from the news which, in his case, consists entirely of the CBC. Now whether the HDS caused him to misunderstand or the CBC purposely and inaccurately fingered the Conservatives is anyone’s guess. We went on to briefly discuss the Liberals plan to change the way we vote … a subject on which he had absolutely zero knowledge. I explained the matter as well as I could and added that, although the proposed changes were undemocratic and just plain wrong, the Liberals could act as they pleased. His response was that Harper would have done the same thing if given the opportunity. After I pointed out that Harper had 10 years to make similar changes and he never once broached the subject, the discussion was over. Discussing politics is such a stressful way to pass the time.
Manitoba’s own Maurice Strong was born in 1929,chances are pretty good he IS dead, wafted off to Heaven to sit among the angels,along with Chairman Mao, Stalin, etc., soon,but not too soon we hope,to be joined by Castro,Fidel that is.
The mantle of OWG has been passed down from Strong to his acolytes,Obama and our own beloved PM are just two of the many.
It’s a wonderful system if you are part of the power collective, not so much for the 99% of us who won’t be.
I figured ol’ Uncle Mo would be around forever, I thought he was living in China not just to avoid arrest for his oil for food fraud, but to take advantage of lots of cheap transplants of political prisoner organs.
“charging his officials to undergo a comprehensive assessment of pursuing free trade with China and deepening engagement with Beijing”.
How in any type of economic or moral cost/benefit analysis can this be a positive goal for Canada to pursue?
China was, if not still is a communist dictatorship, it is an authoritarian, belligerent bully with a huge deficit in basic human rights relationships. Its treatment of citizens, let alone neighbours is appalling.Canadians have no need for even more Chinese junk made by slave wage workers and imported here. What the government should be doing is moving to debate and promote TPP legislation even though that deal seems doomed in US public opinion. But of course that deal was a Stephen Harper initiative and must be allowed to die like anything else that government proposed.
Free trade with China is a typical adolescent idea that appeals to Jr’s sensibilities.
MO Strong’s connection to the LPC is deep. It’s believed he is the offspring of Paul Matin Sr and a woman from western Canada with whom he had a liason while ‘on assignment ‘ in one of his rare trips to the west.
That would go a long way to explain Mo’s
access to successive Librano leaders.
China to the upper Libranos is a cash cow.
Chretien, the Power Corp boys and bongo’s friends see it exactly the same way. There is serious money on the table and check your ethics at the door.
Western Canada separates, all problems solved
Doesn’t solve all our problems.
Creates new problems.
Still a very good choice.
Agreed.
Creates some reasonable and real problems, that rational people might resolve.
Not progressive solutions in search of a problem.
And done right has the potential to reward the productive and drive the parasites crazy,hungry and into moving east.
I agree with each point. The west is going to be milked big time once again.
Global Warming/Climate Change is the biggist con job in the history of the world being used by the one worlders for their master plans for a one world goverment all run by the United Nations and the rest of the leftists NWO

Quite true, trade with China is not a benefit to Canada.
Burning filthy coal in Asia with no stack scrubbing contributes most of the toxic air pollution that drifts over Canada and poisons our water and land, and about 50% of the global GHGs which some believe causes the climate to change.
China’s contribution is 30% of the total while Canada’s total contribution is 2% of global GHGs. Using less Canadian oil to run our vehicles and heat our buildings will have no measurable effect on global GHG concentration. The amount we emit is less than the error in estimating China’s contribution.
Making cheap disposable consumer junk in Asia is causing most of the toxic pollution, global GHGs, and filling our garbage dumps. The amount of Canadian oil we burn to heat our buildings and fuel our vehicles is insignificant by comparison with the amount of pollution caused by the junk we buy that’s made in Asia.
Canadian petroleum is at least ten times cleaner per energy unit delivered, than coal burned in Asia.
None of the so-called political leaders have the integrity to say “If you want to stop greenhouse gas emissions and toxic pollution, stop buying cheap junk from China until they clean up their act.” That’s the Asian Elephant in the room everyone is trying so hard to ignore.
The NDP&LIB refuse to acknowledge these facts and instead want to penalize the Canadian economy with carbon taxes, and erect more wind turbines and solar panels made by polluting factories in China.
Yup, the Liberals sure are a controlling, sneaky bunch, alright.
But really, the only difference between our so-called Conservative parties and the other arseholes is the length of time it will take us to hit rock-bottom. There isn’t one Conservative leadership candidate who will (a) denounce AGW for the fraud that it is, (b) state that our immigration/refugee admission criteria must be tightened up, (c)go on the record publicly and tackle the Islamic arseholes who are preaching hatred in our mosques, (d)commit to giving Canadians effective property rights.
So nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to change in this country until the grassroots gets up off its collective arses and bring things to a standstill with a massive, prolonged, “STOP THE STUPITY” movement. Plug up every main artery and government office in Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton and bring things to a standstill. Send a message to all politicians, of every stripe, that their pay-cheque, and their well-being, is totally dependant on us.
But that would take a level of guts and commitment on a national level that hasn’t been seen in this country since World War II. Silly me.
Now, if you don’t mind, I think I’ll join Don Morris, abtrapper and Liz J…cheers!

Full circle statism. I’ll leave the connecting of the dots to Kate et al.
Selfie boy is beholden to them all, mostly because he’s too economically illiterate to come up with his own conclusions other than pontification & illusion.
Instead of Canadian oil supplying crude to her eastern markets via pipeline, it comes via supertanker from Saudi Arabia, with no thought to the safety of the belugas, still smarting from the Montreal 8b litre sewer sludge dump into the St Lawrence.
The Russians were famous for infiltrating peace and human rights groups to demoralize capitalism (yes, that was the term they used).
Of course the Chinese are using the same technique on trade, trying to assure Canadian oil for themselves; Gore and Suzuki as their useful idiots.
Meanwhile those hypocrites and other watermelons strung along thinking the oil will “stay in the ground,” while mimicking Mao’s Great Leap Forward.
They can always count on the help of their Liberal and exo-statist clients, rent seekers and sycophants, so screw the great unwashed.
Don Morris, Mo Strong may or may not be dead, I do not know. I am, however, absolutely certain that where ever he may be, he is NOT consorting with angels. I am fairly sure that if indeed Mo is dead, (pray it be true), he is in the fellowship of Shiny Pony’s father and Old Scratch, and picking up a nasty heat rash.
The great negotiator cornered the Lions of the Japanese auto world. He eared them down…almost convincing them to build more cars in Canada. They politely demured.
The next day the Japanese point out the fact that the Chinese are being very agressive in the South China Sea and are looking for support from the other G7 countries.
Bongo misses this subtley completely and charges his staff to proceed at once with a trade deal involving Canada and China.
Think those auto making Japanese businesses and politicians missed that point?
Yeah he’s the great negoiator.
A
Fool by any other name.
Would that be the case if the voters in western Canada had (correctly) elected all Liberals? Thinking back to PET’s early days, the pillaging of Alberta didn’t begin until after his first bid for re-election when many of the Libs that were in office were, as I recall, chucked out.
After all, didn’t Stalin punish those regions of the Soviet Union which didn’t act according to Party lines?
Well said!
B, right on both counts.
Shamrock, if I may, you forgot Brian Mulroney.
What you said.
Yes Mulroney was part of the Laurentian establishment, but he was removed from the Power Corp cabal in favour of his own Quebec cabal.
Additionally he tried, some argue poorly, to rein in big government. When Mulroney took power, the Liberals were borrowing even to cover programmed spending, then more borrowing for debt service and to cover exigencies and contingencies.
Once he got into his second term, that was accomplished. You could argue he’s statist, but he is small time compared to those on my list, so I left him off.
A few days ago I got a phone call asking me to answer a few questions about the state of Canada. I said certainly I had the time, they then identified themself as a Nanos poll and asked me if I was between 18 and 39. When I said no they quickly wished me a good evening and hung up before I could further comment. When you create conditions as to whose opinions you want you can easily make the poll say whatever you want.
