Katy Perry picked him.

You mean the guy who recently admitted to give "fast pass" to people who were waiting for their citizenship so the Quebec referendum would fail?

Mind you, I'm no separatist, but as pope Leo said "I love democracy" and to fuck with a referendum, to me, is the most anti-democratic thing one can do..

Campbell was handed the wheel of the Titanic after the thing was half submerged. She didn't do shit.

I'll take whatever it is that made you forget the Harper years.

1. Nice.

lmfao sure bud. That's why he won 3 elections and the Liberals under his successor won a 4th, almost with a majority.

He's NOT the Messiah, he's just a very naughty boy! Now go away!

Not really. Canadian politics is a farce where everyone fools each other, gets highly polarized, and people are easily manipulated. Most of the time you end up having an idiot who knows how to sway people’s opinions even though he is completely lacking in every aspect necessary to lead a country. That applies to Pierre as much as it applies to Justin.

I’m glad Carney’s here. At least he isn’t a drama teacher and is actually qualified for a big part of the role.

Justin instead managed to play everyone. For me to enter a mosque to attend the Friday prayers, and here an imam stating - in a blatant disregard of the commandments of the religion - that “voting for Justin Trudeau is a religious duty because he will save the Muslims in Canada”, then ultimately become a political pawn just because Justin has managed to influence people into believing that he can really change things, is absurd.

Justin is a people pleaser, not really a leader. Unfortunately, Canadians are gullible - and that’s a reality. Canada hasn’t been doing great under Justin’s leadership, the economy is at an all-time law, talents have abandoned Canada over the last decade or more and immigrated to the US, even AI - to whose was mostly laid by Canadians - was taken for us because of Trudeau’s policies that drove talent away and ruined our economy. Carney’s here to fix the horrid things that Justin has done, and I for sure hope that he can stay in power until we could see his policies repairing - which often, in complex systems such as governance and economy, tend to take time (i.e., a policy, once enacted, for people to see its actual effect needs an ample duration of time) In Carney’s case, I hope he remains as Prime Minister until we start seeing that. But it’s unfortunate we’ve seen Justin’s policies - and the rampant corruption in the government - do things and yet we keep praising the dude.

I don’t care about the amount of negative upvotes I get for voicing my opinion about him being an amazing actor, perhaps even a con artist, who has managed to con the Canadian people. I believe it and I still see it. It has nothing to do with the petty Liberal vs. Conservative squabble. It has to do with that specific politician.

Unfortunately, when politics become a form of entertainment, idiots such as the uneducated PP and fame-thirsty JT can actually have a chance at manipulating the affairs of the country and playing the people. I’ve seen it happen in third world countries, and I daresay that Canada is only lucky because it has a small population; the majority of which - as we can evidently see, including myself - are immigrants. 

As an immigrant, I do not engage in voting. I choose not to. I can only evaluate things in retrospect, and I am certainly not qualified to evaluate a politician (and I hold a PhD).

I honestly have no idea about the astronaut thing. I just don’t like the guy, and I’m glad he’s gone. He’s certainly no savior figure. That’s my opinion.

EDIT: Now that I’ve written all that I just noticed the no politics flair. I should use Reddit less.
