I was one of those hoping for the best when he got elected, but the cracks in his public/policy/political persona became increasingly apparent as time when on, so much so that illusions and hopes are now shattered, I think, beyond repair for me.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-37423005278291791622017-04-15T12:52:26.442-04:002017-04-15T12:52:26.442-04:00When JT came to power he filled a bushel basket wi...When JT came to power he filled a bushel basket with the low-hanging fruit - re-opening Coast Guard stations, the inquiry into missing First Nations women, the census, that sort of thing. He got doubters, including me, to begin questioning whether we had misjudged the guy. Then came the Saudi Death Wagon deal, C-51, bitumen boosting and pipelines, electoral reform and more and he showed and has kept showing his true colours.<br /><br />I've been wondering whether the decline in Liberal blogging isn't reflective of this malaise. People like Glenn Ashton (Curiosity Cat) once were great Trudeau supporters and have fallen silent, but not without bitterly criticizing the Dauphin. I think Trudeau has demoralized them. They were so energetic in lambasting Harper and now they're greeted with - this.<br /><br />We gleefully berate Trump for reneging on his solemn promises to his supporters. Trudeau is cut from the same cloth.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-15438256003402126072017-04-15T12:13:49.053-04:002017-04-15T12:13:49.053-04:00I'm sure Trudeau takes great solace that he is...I'm sure Trudeau takes great solace that he is still the darling of the international press, Owen.

Trudeau is a victim of his own press, and is underestimating (I hope) the capacity of Canadians' B.S. detectors.

Canada awaits further information'<br /><br />We need to remember what the most expensive building<br />in the history of Canada is.. Harper's useless CSIS building<br />and that it appears to house multitudes of incompetant idiots<br />or perhaps its stuffed with overpaid psycophants & bureaucrats<br />who can barely find the washroom or traces of reality<br /><br />The old analogy always holds true ..<br />When someone is pissing on your leg<br />and tells you its raining .. what to assume<br /><br />Forget 'rainmakers' or responsible coherent representation<br />Canada has a wealth of bullshit artists, partisan asshats<br />sellouts & captured public servants.. pissing on our legs<br />and much of mainstream media is holding their dicks<br /><br />Apologies re the course analogies & pithy references !the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.com
