You truly are a contrarian, you argue at length over real reporting, never mind all the op-eds by experts in the field that absolutely destroy most of your narratives, but you find one opinion piece by someone who clearly agrees with your narrative, an ultra conservative hit piece, when you claim you are not conservative, but lean more libertarian and left supposedly, and now this guy has the pulse of the country and has the prime minister dead to rights, and the whole country should agree?
you're right.....they were forced to publish this.
I'm not Canadian, I know nothing about Canada, but I recognize this game anywhere
no they weren't forced you eediat. they allow independent writers to express their opinions in the opinion section. what a novel concept by the "librul" media.
you're right.....they were forced to publish this.
no I'm not.
For real though, having the "pulse" of the country? one hit piece?
COMMENTARY: Justin Trudeau values coolness over competence, Rolling Stone cover reminds us
Trudeau like a ‘crazy cat lady’ when it comes to refugees
his approval ratings are dropping....

I mean, it's nice if you just keep your head buried in the sand and only follow "certain" media outlets. He hasn't really done a good job, and has more scandals and faults than he has positives.
When it comes to media relations, courtesy and overall respect he's done a great job, especially as most of his demeanour and support is coming in as being the "anti-Trump". I have no problems with his social issues, or his support for many social justice policies (however his support for gay rights, women's rights and muslim rights to come off as extremely hypocritical at times). My issues with him that he hasn't done a damn thing except blow smoke up ppls asses and pander for acceptance.
what promises has he followed through on from his election?
taxes are up.
no election reform like he promised
government spending is insane (with little to show for it) the deficit is growing wildly out of control
he took big shyt on the military and lied to them about their pensions and shyt
didn't do a damn thing for the indigenous groups like he promised
and oh yea...I'll say it again....the debt is .....
b-b-b-but it's OK, the millennial will pay for it later.....LITERALLY
Young Canadians could pay dearly for Liberals’ deficit-financed spending: report
Remember when they promised to balance the books?? well they gave a big
on that and went full retard on spendingshyt, there is still no "legal" weed
Not sure why you are making comparisons with Trump here. Canada and America are clearly to different countries.Canada’s economy posts ‘blow out’ growth; dollar jumps - The Globe and Mail
So minimum wage increases in every province... increased spending from the government in transfer payments which lead to increased welfare - $15 Min. Wage increases haven't come in to effect yet, and won't until 2019. In fact most places in Canada aren't even at $12.
Free post secondary for low income students - That isn't a Federal initiative. and only for Ontario
Legalized Weed Doesn't exist
No tax cuts whatsoever - Exactly, taxes and costs are actually increasing.
No new free trade deals Not yet
No real increase in commodity prices
And the economy is tripling the American economy in growth, when during the Obama years it was the other way around?
Perhaps leadership does matter, Trumpset? Maybe 7 months of doing nothing except making headlines makes your economy fall behind?

Why are you comparing Canada and America? What an asinine question
The fact is Harper had the keys and we were in recession just before the election, and now we have incredible growth under Trudeau without a massive increase in oil prices. Hold this L
The Canadian Contrarian ran into some real Canadians giving him that Ether.

Imagine his face when he realizes record economic growth reduces the deficit due to an increase in tax collection. No tax cuts and economic growthThe Canadian Contrarian ran into some real Canadians giving him that Ether.
its almost like those things aren't even linked.
It's crazy because I believe y'alls growth is where Trump wants to be.Imagine his face when he realizes record economic growth reduces the deficit due to an increase in tax collection. No tax cuts and economic growth
But yea, I don't think he realized your point and Wil probably come back arguing against it.

The conservatives who he "doesnt support" hedged their bets on corporate tax cuts and the energy industry. Even when oil was at all time highs, the economy was still anaemic because there wasn't enough stimulus to translate that wealth across the nation. 10 years and not one quarter as good as this one.
Trudeau came out and said he would run a deficit and spend because Canadians were hurting and in a recession during the election while America was basically catching fire in 2015 economically (Thanks Obama). Now that the economy is growing obviously the haters are out in full swing. I'm not a supporter of the PM at all, I voted against him, but I give credit where it is due.

Insult to injury, Alberta (where all the oil is, Canada's texas) elected the NDP (socialist party) in their elections during the oil price down swing.
Now after all the green regulations they passed etc, Alberta is the FASTEST growing economy again
Face it without racism to confuse the idiot cacs, right wingers have absolutely nothing in 2017.

Stephen Harper: strongest economic growth
Economic growth
According to the Bank of Canada, the real gross domestic product is the most common indicator of economic growth. Real GDP provides a measure of the total value of all goods and services produced in an economy and is adjusted for inflation.
Canada’s real GDP growth since the trough of the global financial crisis tops the G7, according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Between the second quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2015, Canada’s real GDP grew 13.3 per cent. The second best performer over the same period was the United States, which saw its economy grow by 11.9 per cent.
Job creation
Again using OECD data from the second quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2015,* Canadian job numbers grew the most compared to G7 peers. Job creation can be measured different ways, one being employment, a method used by the International Labour Organization. The OECD measures employment in terms of thousand persons aged 15 and over who report that they have worked for at least one hour during the previous week. By this measure, Canada’s job market grew by 7.2 per cent, topping the UK (7 per cent), US (5.7 per cent), Germany (4.9 per cent), France (2.7 per cent), Japan (1 per cent), and Italy (-1.9 per cent).
Other measures of employment may exclude informal work, self-employment, employment of family members, unpaid work, etc., which can shift the statistics. The Harper government’s own 2015 budget contains a chart placing Canada second behind the US in G7 employment growth over the recovery based on monthly data collected by Haver Analytics and the Department of Finance.
So among the G7 and since the financial crisis trough, here’s the verdict for Canada as top performer: Economic growth – true; job creation record – true.
I'll await your retort.

How did canada slide into negative growth in the final years of the Harper government? Having the strongest growth of the G7 during the recession and post recession years with anemic growth meant nothing. Post the year after year economic growth during the harper majority years, for the first 5 years he had a minority government and couldnt pass his agenda1/3 the population but that still leaves 2/3s without the same benefits that are being brought in by the PROVINCIAL gov't....NOT the Federal.

bruh....you one of those "well the budget will balance itself" type dudes??Imagine his face when he realizes record economic growth reduces the deficit due to an increase in tax collection. No tax cuts and economic growth
cuz that's not how it works you do realize that right? you know when they are pumping in 2.5x the debt that they actually platformed on during the election and are now wildly spending out of control....it is NOT sustainable.
all that is happening is the burden is being pushed to a different generation.

Economists said the year-over-year rise of 4.6 per cent was exaggerated by a particularly weak year-earlier comparison, when the economy took a short-term body blow from the Fort McMurray wildfires. In May, 2016, real GDP slumped 0.6 per cent month over month.
