Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

There’s a lot more about the Trudeau family’s visit to India – but you won’t learn about it in the Canadian media. No, just Google “Justin Trudeau news” and you’ll find lots of articles – but only from the Indian and UK media. A lot of pictures from the family’s visit to the Taj Mahal (Junior, Sophie and all three kids) plus news that during their stay, they will also visit an elephant sanctuary and go to other popular tourist sites.
I thought this was supposed to be a business trip – it’s looking like a taxpayer-paid, luxury family vacation.
And even better – when their plane landed in India, they weren’t met by the Indian Prime Minister (who had been on hand to personally greet President Obama, Prime Minister Netanyahu and other world leaders during their state visits). Nope, he sent a junior minister who was dressed quite casually. Tells you everything you need to know about how JT is perceived by the Indian government.

the peasantry will balance themselves.

And all you’ll hear from the Libtards when this family vacation is mentioned is that Harper took his limos when he visited India. How many official government trips did Laureen and the kids take during Harper’s ten years?
Given the level (lack of) respect for Turdeau exhibited by the Indian government, it would appear they have far greater insight into his character than do Canadians. Yup, Basic Pricktatorship nailed it.
“How many official government trips did Laureen and the kids take during Harper’s ten years?”
But but but – he took a government jet to NY to take his kid to a Ranger’s game. Even though security demanded he use a government jet, he caught hell for pretty much the cheapest trip possible.
Yes,the only people in the world who are impressed by Trudeau are the members of the media,everyone else from businessmen to politicians recognizes what a lightweight he really is.
Spot on comment,Barbara,this IS a family vacation with a few friends and a mid term pander to the Sikh community in Canada,nothing more.
well India is an unimportant country with a very small population that is only about 17.3 % of the world population!!!!
pricktatorship says it all:-)))
Which sox was the imbecile wearing?
Well he is a world leader in the muslim oommunity, so I’m sure they don’t mind waiting for him to visit the historic site of a muslim couple.
“well India is an unimportant country with a very small population”
You’re only half right.
Wow! Even more piggishly disruptive than a Clinton …

The media is reporting that he will be discussing women’s rights in India, and also visiting a mosque. So will his wife have to wear a bag over her head and stay away from the men in the mosque?
Kenji, thanks for bringing us all back to reality with that. It is nice to realize that we shouldn’t be making a mountain out of a molehill over a cheap family vacation.
Basic “Dicktatorship” would work as well.
Saw a news clip last night about Sophie’s choice and herself along with their little tits- to-be getting off the aircraft. They all stood at the top of the stairs and made a little Swami-style prayer gesture. Rehearsed, contrived, and sickening. Enough to gag a maggot
Perhaps these are the middle class folks that he and Sophie chat with over breakfast.

I love Canada, and visit every chance I get. Canadians have a well-deserved reputation for courtesy and hospitality. The exceptions are Air Canada cabin crews, the P.M., and one (and only one) shaven-headed Mussolini manque’ at the Niagara Falls entry point.
Does Socks bring the whole extended family, friends, and … posse … as did the Obama clan ? On every ski vacation, “diplomatic” trip to Brazil, Spain, Africa, Paris, and whatnot ?
Thought it might be too subtle.

Kenji, thanks for that link. I knew I couldn’t stand the Clintons for any number of reasons. This example just added to the pile. These elitist pricks are beyond contempt.
For some reason, your comment made me think of this …

It seems that Indian PM Modi may still be pissed at M. Trudeau’s antics during TPP negotiations.
As for the Taj Mahal visit we may think that keeping 30,000 people waiting is rather crass, but, given the differential between Canada’a and India’s population, to M. Trudeau it was only about 1,000. Pfhhht!
Heh, heh.
Quote: “Don’t think anyone so junior has ever been sent to receive a foreign leader in last 70 years.” True. You don’t bring out the head chef for a little potato.
Isn’t that cultural appropriation of the worst kind?
Indian PM Modi may not be JT’s biggest fan, but Little Potato knows how to win him over – just wear a nifty pair of socks:

You couldn’t make this stuff up.
“Isn’t that cultural appropriation of the worst kind?”
Oh, I dunno. You sayin’ Shaggy Maggie didn’t share a mat with Ravi Shankar?
Turdeau, commenting on visiting the Taj Mahal:
“For me to be able to be here on an official trip while bringing my kids with me to share this is really special,” he said. “It sort of shows for me how work-life balance has evolved a bit.”
What a prick.
Exactly, and that would be members of the Canadian media, plus a smattering of the Blue Church media.
It is quite telling that only a junior minister greeted PM Socks. Where was his boss, guiding the Liberal ship back home?
Given the touchiness between Muslim and Hindu in India that strikes me as foolish.
I’m noticing a pattern here. Bongo goes out and embarrasses himself and the librano brass disappear him until things cool off.
Butts: “Look bongo you’ve been going at it pretty hard lately why don’t you take wifey and the kids on a little vacation. You haven’t been anywhere since xmas.”
Bongo: “That’s right. I have been going hard, and people have said some really bad things to me. Maybe I should take a little break. Got anything in mind?”
Butts: “Yeah there’s nothing going on here. I was thinking India, the kids would love to ride an elephant. I’ll make a couple of calls and set it up. Is a week enough?”
Bongo: That’da be great. Can I bring Shamus?”
I only have one problem with His Uselessness and the taxpayer-funded family getaway. Eventually he will return to Canada.
So is Trudeau in India. I had no idea. I guess Butt’s plan to keep Trudeau out of Ottawa with cross-country trips has run out of stamina so they had to send hm around the world to keep him away from the crayons.
It seems that hsi reputation has travelled before him.
How about Basic Little Potatoship?
“Can I bring Shamus?”
Lol!
I don’t see how his work-lfe balance has evolved. He still does nothing ut emit platitudes.
Thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite tunes of the 1960’s … a perfect selection for Readers Tips 😉 … https://youtu.be/xExo67OLrdY
Oh hh … Ravi Shankar’s music made me cry …
I totally dig the Sitar in Rock Music! In an era when musicians were experimenting with every kind of electronic sound modified by feedback, distortion, discordance, and wah-wah pedals … here comes the Sitar with its otherworldly twangy sound … played to western melodies … is just too cool. Thank you Beatles … for getting in (and then getting OUT) of Indian instruments. Revolver is still in heavy rotation on my playlist …
Nothing wrong with cultural exchange … which melds the two into one. Most Indians I’ve met … are … very close to … my people. If I could just wash the smell of curry out of my clothes. Ha ha ha.
Heh, they closed the place down so that the airhead could check it out.
As though just one person would know who the hell this guy is.
Maybe he is going to give them some money and tell them to stop beating their women.
Sheesh the world of nonsense never ends.
Bongo’s old man was held in low regard by world leaders. Thatcher could hardly stand to hear the mention of his name and Richard Nixon called him an asshole. Even former prime minister Pearson declared PET to be a disappointment on the world stage. He had no friends outside the communist world he so enjoyed. He actually met Stalin. His funeral was attended by Castro and Jimmy Carter. World leaders couldn’t be bothered.
Bongo is his fathers son. Irrelevant and ineffectual.
This is in strong contrast with what his father did in similar circumstances when he was on an official visit to India. Pierre Trudeau asked to eat at a well known Tandoori restaurant in New Delhi. When he and his group arrived he noticed they were the only guests. When he asked why he was told it was to ensure his security to which he responded that that was nonsense. As a result, the public was allowed in. Regardless of what one thinks of the elder Trudeau’s politics, this decision contrasts him most favourably with his son. (This was told to me by Canadian staff at Canada’s High Commission).
One incident in a restaurant won’t change PET’s reputation.
When the world fought the nazis he took a pass. When the cold war was on he couldn’t find it within himself to stare down the ruskies. His ‘just society ‘ were hollow words. In the face of overwhelming evidence of unspeakable communist cruelties he championed their cause. Worst PM ever…so far.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Shiny Pony’s next trip would be to Wakanda to arrange for the importation of vibranium.

When it comes to PET stories, I’m a cynic. Far too many of them have been utter BS – spun by Liberal mythmakers, spread by devotees, and swallowed by the gullible.
Agreed.
But all the other ones are true.
