Is this really who we are?

[dalek]

Ugly, fat losers. Many women both in the leadership and general elections voted for his sex appeal, nothing else. Many will admit to it if you ask them. Just look at photo ops - women, both general population and politicians stare at him continually like they are ready to jump his bones. Horny women ****ed over the future financial well-being of their offspring by voting for that douche.

It wouldn't be so bad if he had actually stayed with teaching long enough to show he was good at it but just like the unfinished Masters degree and barely started Engineering degree he flitted on to something else without finishing anything. He has the attention span of a 3 year old

Early life and education

Harper was born and raised in Leaside,[13] Toronto, the first of three sons of Margaret (née Johnston) and Joseph Harris Harper, an accountant at Imperial Oil.[14] The Harper family traces its ancestry back to Yorkshire, England, with Christopher Harper emigrating from Yorkshire to Nova Scotia in 1784, where he later served as justice of the peace in the area that is now New Brunswick.[15][16]

Harper attended Northlea Public School and, later, John G. Althouse Middle School and Richview Collegiate Institute, both in Central Etobicoke. He graduated in 1978, and was a member of Richview Collegiate's team on Reach for the Top, a television quiz show for Canadian high school students.[17] Harper enrolled at the University of Toronto but dropped out after two months.[18] He then moved to Edmonton, Alberta, where he found work in the mail room at Imperial Oil.[18] Later, he advanced to work on the company's computer systems. He took up post-secondary studies again at the University of Calgary, where he completed a bachelor's degree in economics in 1985. He later returned there to earn a master's degree

He's the face of the millennial losers that voted for him. There's some damn fine hard working millennials but there are those that are dumb as **** about the world beyond their smart phones.
World stage sure Trudeau has been well received like the queen but I think the wheels are falling off when he opens his mouth and people realize. I hate scorching a guy. He's our pm and we need to respect that but honestly he doesn't have an original thought in his head. He's like them guys you coffee with that agree with everything you say but eventually you tire of them cause you know they are full of shit because either they deep down disagree or don't know what the **** you're talking about.

I guess I fit in the millennial category but I didn't vote for him. Does dealing with calves at 3 am in blowing snow count as hard working? I do use the phone for notes with the cows as well as a couple of forums like this though.

Just ribbing you😉

Taking a break from cows due to an unwanted rain delay......

Ha ha no offence intended on hard workers lol. I'm only a year older than being considered a millennial so my hubris can't be contained sometimes.

This forums' demographic fits a unique and narrow profile. Probably not much in common politically with jt supporters.
It bugs me to watch him, but he's probably an intelligent politician. Being a trust fund kid doesnt make by default a poor leader. Leading well and leading in the right direction dont always happen together.
Reminded every time I watch or listen to CBC, that I and people I associate with must be the minority.

Suffered through 2 days of CBC radio this week and wow! JT is untouchable in the ROC.
2 days of raging on about equality for every imaginable human variance. Justin this, Justin that.
Pigs are sentient beings. 6 yr old boys are not being allowed to explore their true gender. All oil is always bad.
On an on they went. Couldnt go 15 mins without mentioning Justin Trudeau. "Our feminist pm." On and on.

Christ, I just want to live out the rest of my days in peace. You think if I shut off the media it'll work????
On a lot less income though, by the way. Easy for leaders to blare on about the middle class when its simply being blended in with the lower class by definition.

I've always found it amusing that we "want more everyday folk in politics instead of politicians. Doctors, firefighters, entrepreneurs." But apparently when that happens, it doesn't extend to teachers? (Whom are very hard working and deserving) Or more often heard, that drama teachers aren't really teachers.

Those are the arguments of sore losers to me, really.

Harper was stagnant and needed to go. Had a different Conservative ran it may have gone differently.

I am a millennial, I'm fairly well educated, open minded and liberal, and even worse, I'm female and therefore only like him becauses he's young (only three years younger than Harper was btw), good looking and has wonderful hair. He appeals to my flighty, unsubstantial side through mass posts of selfies and a large social media presence.

Anyone who feels that this is why and how Trudeau got elected must have serious trouble sleeping at night. If people like those voters are the ones looking after you in your old age, heaven help you. Trudeau's term(s) will be the least of your problems!

Cant really disagree. Ritz and harper destroyed agristability, stole farmers equity out of the cwb and gifted it to the saudi royal family, and did basically **** all to fix transportation issues and didn't increase transparency in the grain business.

Not really a stellar track record in ag. Although getting rid of the cwb was a nice touch I still think there are bigger issues in our grain system in canada.

So were people voting for the leader or the party in the Federal election? The Lib party elite probably got behind the guy at their leadership race they thought could best defeat the Cons, even if it wasn't the best choice as leader. They put him their thinking it was their best chance, then the electorate made him King. He isn't running the country....the Liberal Party is! Some leaders are true leaders and have enough on the ball and surround themselves with the right qualified people to do a good job. Even Trump is out of his element as far as I'm concerned....hard to take that man seiously.

They all seem to lose their appeal as well....after they've been at the wheel too long(Brad is it to late?) .....how the hell did Ralph Klein hang on so long? I guess as long as things are booming or chugging along a chimp could get re-elected.

CBC ****ed Harper. He wouldn't play there reindeer games so they hammered the public with every negative thing they could find. Harper over stayed his welcome but was way more qualified than the offspring of a monkey we have now. We need reality not sunshine and rainbows bullshit talk. Oh ya and quit giving our money away. We need to fix Canada not buy our way into the UN.
