Related: Trudeau accused Harper of pursuing a staunchly pro-Israel foreign policy so as to gain Jewish votes, during an interview last Thursday with the Farsi-language weekly newspaper Salaam Toronto. The paper is read by Iranian-Canadians, and is widely recognized as being supportive of the Liberal party.
Oh, Shiny Pony!
…. this week we tried three times and learned that you are in Trudeau’s middle class if you are one of those people who:
a) “…work for their income, not people who live off their assets and their saving.” (Monday)
b) “…people who live off their incomes are of the middle class and those who live off their assets, their portfolios, their trust funds are not.” (Tuesday)
c) “…who live paycheque to paycheque…” (Wednesday)
And if you’re confused,
d) “..we’ll let economists argue about which quintile or decile it starts or ends…” (Wednesday)
.@pmharper is an economist. MT @Justin_Ling Trudeau on middle class: "let economists decide which decimal/quintile it begins and ends at."

On Thursday, the Federal Trinity-Spadina Liberal Association announced, via press release, that the local executive has “voted to condemn both the process and the decision made by the Liberal Party to block its only known nominee in an imminent by-election.”
[…]
The release claims the party “made unproven and malicious allegations against the candidate and her family” in an effort to “cover up its desire to control the nomination process” — specifically, they allege, in response to Innes’s refusal to sign a written pledge to run for the nomination in Spadina-Fort York in 2015.

I’m not sure the word, ‘unfazed’ is positive in this respect.
OTTAWA – Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is sticking with his assertion that the middle class is struggling with stagnant incomes and skyrocketing household debt, no matter what Statistics Canada says.

CTV, Sept. 18, 2013;
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has made another high-profile addition to his team, announcing Wednesday that retired lieutenant-general Andrew Leslie will be co-chair of his newly established International Affairs Council of Advisors.
One of Canada’s most high-profile military leaders claimed more than $72,000 in expenses, including real estate fees, for a move from his Ottawa home to another residence in the city after he retired, CTV News has learned.
Documents obtained by CTV News show retired general Andrew Leslie, who once led Canada’s mission in Afghanistan, claimed the expenses for a move in 2012.
Trudeau’s name does not appear in the second item. Oddly enough! (h/t Manny)

Just watch it: “and the budget will balance itself.”

“Being a Liberal, I guess, means never having to say thank you.“
Oh, Shiny Pony!
So with no elected Liberal MPs and now with no Liberal Senators, when the Liberal caucus gathers together to discuss issues or formulate policy etc, Albertans will no longer have anyone in the room to represent or speak for them.

From part-time teacher to part-time parliamentarian: “there wasn’t a single instance over the past nearly two months in which Trudeau was present for more than two question periods in the same week.”
