      I think Trudeau is best when he gets to lead a country, and not have to deal with politics. I mean, he’s not the best policy maker, IMO, but we’ve had worse PMs. Whenever he has to do “politics” stuff though he’s… well, bad.

            Two things I keep in mind from Harper, gutting employment insurance, trying to raise retirement age to 67 oh and the sax serenade to Netanyahu. Make it three

                Is it bad that I’m kind of glad not to have come into adulthood until after this guy was gone? Like I feel like from what I’ve heard, if heard it now from a prime minister, I’d probably lose my fucking mind.

                But who knows, maybe we’ll see a 2.0 in a couple months and all get to experience an exceptionally bad PM (hopefully not).

                  No, that makes sense. I just missed him aswell/only had a couple years of it and it’s definitely nice to be able to look back on it instead of live it.

                  And yea, PP was his right-hand guy or whatever during that time and has always been a real douche. He didn’t grow into a conservative, he’s always been that guy. Sequels are so often clunkier exaggerations to capitalize off previous success, instead of doing their own things, and if PP gets in that’s what we’re gunna be dealing with.

      He’s always handled good under pressure. Is argue he was also the best we could have gotten during the pandemic and I’m saying this as someone who was equally happy with Ford during the pandemic and also happy with Ford during this tarriff bullshit. Ford can suck a massive bag of dicks but I can’t hate him on his response for this.

        Imo, Ford fucked the pandemic response. He turned down billions from the feds. Hospitals had to do temp shutdowns. Took too long to do anything about the clownvoy. The only reason more ontarians didn’t die is because of the federal health minister
