Forget peoplekind. Theres a lot else wrong with Justin Trudeau.


"Trudeau has his charms, but even his victories come with caveats. On the gender front, Trudeau has promised legislation closing Canada’s pay gap time and time again, but none has materialized. And he has backtracked on his open invitation to the refugees of the world. Still, far too many here in the United States are content to cheer Trudeau on for his sometimes surface-level commitment to liberal causes — and look how cute he is with these baby pandas — while ignoring the ways he isn’t liberal at all."

3. That was a snide article. Especially telling liberals what they think about something or someone.

If Trudeau were an American politician then I'm sure we'd be right on it.

Some of us lost our original names, ya know. But I assure you that sorry excuse for a rebuttal has been noted.

That will involve financing through selling public assets. But, you know, put the term "gender-based study" in there and no "progressives" seem to notice.
