Forums - Politics Discussion - Americans can't get enough of Trudeau — but his Canadian approval ratings are tumbling

So individual debt, not government debt? Or am I reading that wrong?

That's individual but government debt is growing at record pace under him. Running $20-30 billion deficits per year. He is going to do in 5 years what Harper did in 10. Harper's term was in the worst financial disaster since the 1930's.

The issue is the economy of Canada is mostly driven by consumer debt and real estate value increases then actual wealth.

The man is one of the worst leaders in the world right now, You might as well elect a 12 year old girl to run your country Canada, that would make for a stronger leader with most likely more sensible decision making. Also.... 

Explain your thoughts. Perhaps it is asking too much. 



Not the best prime minister that Canada has seen so far but hey, at least we are able to say he's hot.

No offence taken by that last part if you are wondering ;D though I'm not going to lay out the vast problems with him as a leader or the decisions he has made and is putting forward because it will lead to this thread being highjacked and ransacked and possibly someone getting banned for islamaphobia, racism and all the thought crimes of the day.

So your claim was hyperbolic. I ask as someone who is not a big fan of him but saying one of worst world leaders, certainly paints your limited view of the geopolitical crisis most of the world is in. I guess you don't like his social stances.

Guy is a fucking joke. Forgets to mention Alberta in his speech, and then apologizes in French. But that was only one minor thing, the reason I hate him is because he only cares about looking good in front of the world, even at the neglect of his citizens. I fucking hate hearing the media saying how much we love our "hot leader".  I hope that level reaches 25% by the next election, and we get a Conservative (or even a goddamn NDP government) government next cycle.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Why? NDP is even more far left. I mean our Conservatives are more left than american Democrats. Imagine the NDP. 

I should never drink and post though. I never enter Political threads before. Oh well end of long weekend.

WTF are you talking about? You remind me of one of my HS teacher's who said this to me ages ago, and oh god the insane argument I had with him over this.

Anyway, I don't care. At least the NDP care about Canadians, and thats all that matters. I will vote Conservative, but I just want the Liberals out.

My bad dude. Sorry for engaging you, Barney. Lesson learned. Adios.



Good, he's a crazy feminist.
