Re: Joshua Boyle
Common sense not bitterness. When he returned to Canada with several kids, in relative good health I was sceptical of the Whole situation. Obviously I had no proof that he could be a crazy back then, so we all just waited to see what would happen next. Selfies with the PM would not have been top of my list that’s for sure.
A statement from the PM would have been suffice at that stage

Before hand, before meeting, just give a statement saying he happy JB and family are safe and back in Canada and hope everything goes sweet and dandy for them after their terrible ordeal starting a hostage family.

In fact I can think of one or two people who might even say it was outrageous to pay compensation to certain individuals but not even meet this guy.

Re: Joshua Boyle
Ah you meant before or instead of? I don't understand really why he had to meet them publicly and wonder if the best thing for this family would have been to be able to avoid stressful meetings with the press. I am tired of Trudeau's penchant for photo ops showing what a caring sharing kinda guy he is

His penchant for being in a selfie is a great foil to avoid the hard question or 'what is he really doing most of the time'. But the young voters love him for his selfies as they find him easy to relate to.
He is all style and no substance to me.

Re: Joshua Boyle
JT - Canada seems to be held in fairly high esteem since he came to power. It's less where? and less America Lite than it was.
