Re: Questions for PM
I'd prefer neither, but if those were the only two choices, I'd take Trump. I think it's pretty clear that America will be much better off after eight years of Trump than Canada will be after eight years of Trudeau.
On the plus side, Trudeau may make the Liberals as unelectable here as the Democrats now are in America. If he's going to be the Canadian Obama, I guess we have to wait a few years to find out who's going to be the Canadian Trump.

Neither are a choice id make, but id take Trump over Trudeau if i had to make a choice. Trudeau is too busy singing kumbaya, taking selfies and p*ssing away tax payer money to get anything constructive done.

Re: Questions for PM
The implication being that Trump is going to do something constructive; what might that be?

Re: Questions for PM
Quite - I think the lower the constructive action, the more important the mood music. Whilst the Liberals haven't accomplished a huge amount in a year (not that governments normally can/do), the general attitude coming out of Ottawa is very positive, relaxed, optimistic. Gods only know what Trump's going to do or try to, but the noises from DC are bombastic, aggressive and unpleasant. He'd need some serious genuine accomplishments to make that worthwhile, and he's very unlikely to get them considering that the few concrete promises he's made are completely at odds with what's likely to be possible in Congress.

Looks like the Ethics police have a few questions of their own for the PM

Re: Questions for PM
Would you rather live in a country where the head of government was Trudeau or Trump?
Is there no hope for mankind? I'm off to join womankind, if they'll have me.

Re: Questions for PM
Much of Trump's campaign was about bringing jobs back into the states, which can only be good, charity begins at home.
Cant really say the same for Trudeau...he hasnt done anything except push up Canadian debt with nothing to benefit Canadian citizens, and increase tax so he has more to fritter away.

Seems the PM upset some English speakers in Quebec by answering a question in French when the question was asked in English.

Re: Questions for PM
Did he or did he just upset some people in Calgary? I would think people attending a meeting announced as being in French would not be shocked to hear French.
