So he told some intolerant bitch to stop being intolerant? Seems like a good thing. So standing up against bigots is now a bad thing apparently?

This. Not sure what the point of this thread is.

Yep Trudeau will make a great job of making Canada not Canada.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

Hopefully a new government comes in to power next year and stops all this bullshit.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

maybe because nobody seems to even understand what she was asking for. the question was not intolerant, in fact the question made a lot of sense, but Trudeau just dismissed it without even understanding it, and clearly a lot of people just buy that the lady was racist

So you support illegal immigration?  Most immigrants I know dislike when people cheat a system they had to work within.

I support helping people who are desperate. Like I said, my parents fled illegally from Vietnam to Hong Kong where I was then born. We came to Canada legally but that wouldn't have been possible if my parents didn't take the risk of fleeing illegally in the first place.

It was certainly tough for my parents to integrate to Canada, but they did what they could. Fortunately, I was much more successful all thanks to their risk and sacrifice. I am grateful to Canada as well and work hard to pay back a nearly impossible debt.

When the rule of law bends then it might as well bend to all. First and foremost it should be equal and fair among all those it encompasses.

What they should do is find a better job at helping those in crisis rather than encourage illegal immigration by welcoming them and being very tolerant about it.

We came from a third world country. Our family might have not been downright at the bottom end of poverty but waiting 10 years in separation till we got properly processed for migration was no easy task. My father died of cancer a year before we were allowed to migrate. Someone entering illegally is just down right bullshit no matter what the circumstance. We respected the law and we expect the same goes for everyone. Nobody is above it.

Otherwise, let there be anarchy as we're not even trying to be fair to those who respected that line.

Trudeau is a dumbass. Even a lot of liberals know that at this point, its just sad the Conservatives are almost as much of a joke as well. With Bernier making his new party, the right could be split for a long time meaning the Liberals may as well make this country a new dictatorship as the NDP won't even be strong enough to split the left completely. 

 

TL;DR: We're screwed with selfie boy. 

 

PS: The son of Fidel Castro thing is fucking hilarious! XD



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).

From the polling numbers right now, I wouldn't count on that. The two main parties may be about level in most of the polls, but when it comes to who'd make a better PM, Andrew Scheer is polling way, way behind Trudeau. And yeah, I know pre-election polling numbers don't mean everything (if they did, Tom Mulcair would be the country's PM right now), but it's not exactly a good sign.

My prediction? The Conservatives will do a bit better than in 2015, but the Liberals will hold onto power thanks to the Bloc's implosion, and probably also the NDP doing worse than expected.



I am quite certain that aftre Trudeau time in office, a populist will be elected.

Don't most politicians or leaders make use of populism or are partly populist?



Well, considering recent events, history may record Trudeau's fatal mistake as being not calling an election last year while the Conservatives were floundering around in the aftermath of Bernier's breaking away from the party.

As it is, about the best he can hope for to stay in power is if he wins a landslide in Quebec, and the NDP also take enough seats to make some sort of coalition viable. Which, oddly enough, I seem to remember happening to his father...
