Oh Shiny Pony

Following in the footsteps of PSY’s Gangnam Style phenomenon, Justin Trudeau has come up with his own “Manhattan Style” PR campaign, pitching economic illiterate Chrystia Freeland as one of him main economic advisers. Ezra Levant explains:

In democracies, citizens deserve the politicians they elect. Such will be the case for Canadians if they succumb to the Media Party’s narrative and elect the Shiny Pony and his fellow “stars” in 2015.

Oh, Shiny Pony!

Moral Trudeautude;

Federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s admission he smoked marijuana after becoming an MP – and the ensuing flurry of similar disclosures by other Canadian politicians – has a U.S. immigration lawyer shaking his head.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw him admit to it,” said Len Saunders.
The Blaine, Wash. lawyer says Trudeau and any other admitted Canadian pot smokers – high profile or not – should expect to be refused entry to the U.S.

Oh, Shiny Pony!

In an interview with the Huffington Post that focused on his history of marijuana use and the evolution of his opinion about legalizing the drug, Trudeau admitted that he had smoked pot after being elected MP for Papineau in 2008.

One of the Shiny Pony’s Friends in the Spotlight

Justin Trudeau appears to be surrounding himself with some people with rather “interesting” views. As BC Blue has reported, his Social Media Manager* Ashley Martyn appears to have no respect and little tolerance for anyone who believes in God. A few days ago she tweeted this:

Religious people are less intelligent than atheists.

It would be interesting if the Media Party asked Muslim, Jewish, and Christian leaders how they feel about a representative of a major Canadian political leader saying such derogatory things about them and their congregation. A logical follow-up question would be to ask Ms. Martyn how long she has felt this way towards Muslims and Jews. Furthermore, if she feels that she is smarter than all Muslims and Jews, isn’t that the textbook definition of a bigot?
Update: SDA regular Mississauga Matt has provided this link to a most fascinating photo of Justin Trudeau sitting with a group of Muslim men. The Shiny Pony should clearly come clean and explain why he has someone in his political organization who has so publicly revealed her bigotry and feeling of intellectual superiority towards them.

Oh, Shiny Pony!

I trust Justin Trudeau will give dope a wide berth because he’s already the political embodiment of stupid, a callow fellow who’s parlayed genetic pedigree — and not much else — into public office, the putative saviour of the federal Liberal party. Cute but silly, Liberal-lite on policy and vision rather than the transformative figure plumped by Grits yearning for a return to preeminence.

Ouch.

This Is Awkward

Sun News;

In yet another shocking twist to the gas plant e-mail saga, Tory MPP Vic Fedeli told the media late Wednesday that gas plant e-mails previously thought blown away by key Liberal staffers have suddenly turned up.
He said he has been informed by Information and Privacy Commissioner Ann Cavoukian that “a lot of records were found” and a “significant number” related to the cancellation of two gas-fired plants in Oakville and Mississauga.
The e-mail records, he added, belonged to Craig McLennan, the former chief of staff to the energy minister, who’d previously told the gas plant committee under oath that he’d deleted all of his e-mails.

You scratch my back….

So, what decided the policy if it wasn’t $112,000?

Between 2006 and 2010, Justin Trudeau collected $112,500 from various unions for speaking fees. As a political candidate, it would have been illegal for unions to donate any money to him under federal electoral laws.
Trudeau has promised that Liberal Senators will work “hard to try and slow down, block, impede” Bill C-377 and he has promised to repeal it if it becomes law, should he become Prime Minister. At the same time, Trudeau is promising to increase transparency, yet is fighting a bill that would actually have seen unions have to disclose the $112,500 they paid him for his speeches.

Oh, Shiny Pony!

Sun News;

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has done a complete reversal on the speaking fees he raked in from charities in the five years since he was an elected MP in his Montreal riding.
Trudeau says he’s willing to refund tens of thousands of dollars to charities he billed for his speeches to “make it right.”
“I’m willing to pay all of the money back if that’s what it comes to and I’m going to work with them on that, but I’m going to fix this,” Trudeau told CTV on Sunday.

Plus, pithy commentary from Michael Coren.
