Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

I don't think anyone who's a credible future PM will run... They see the brick wall ahead and want to let someone else be Wile E Coyote.

While we on this forum may think so the average Canadian has ZERO clue about the Nazis or the SS.

Consider this - my wife had no knowledge of the concentration camps the Nazis established nor of the deaths that occurred - 6 million at minimum. And I am very sure my grandkids have zero knowledge of this.
Sadly true.
But for me, as someone who has been to Auschwitz, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Terezin (Theresienstadt), Dachau, Westerbork and Buchenwald, the memory is always fresh.

I had my children watch both 'The Pianist' and 'Schindler's List' before we took them them to Prague, where my wife and I meet while working in 1995/96, for our 20yr wedding anniversary in 2019. We took them to Terezin and the Lidice Memorial, as well as a tour of the old Jewish Quarter in Prague. We have no family connections to the Holocaust but I wanted them to understand, as much as an 11 and 13yr can, what had happened in the past, During a trip to DC that my son and took in July of 2021 he specifically asked for us to tour the US Holocaust Museum, so something must have sunk in for him.
 
If we could never again use the term “mating pair” with regards to any of the members of Parliament, that would be lovely.
mating pair - Trudeau and Freeland. :D

My wife and kids know about this. We have made sure of it as the schools tend to avoid it.

Well, technically, one certainly f@#$%^&*()ed the other (verbally, in any case), so there is that ....

Meanwhile, Team Red's Leadership Vote Committee seems to be at work already ....

I would consider a youth/HS grad program to send Canadian young adults on an eye-opener travel tour to some places to help give them a wider world view. One cannot tour Auschwitz or the like and not have an appreciation of evil in the world.

I can already see the headlines: “Federal govt using govt funds to send kids to party in Europe”

The Infantry can do that... and they'd get paid too! ;)
 
Further to my last, Christy Clark is already getting caught in her lies about whether or not she joined the CPC to vote for Jean Charest.


But honestly, I’m still worried about her running. She has no ties to to this government, is more “centrist” and is very disarming. I could see her wooing back a lot of disaffected Liberals and even “Red Tories”. PP will need to up his game if they make her leader.

Didn’t even think about the “no ties” angle.

Can’t say “they’re all Trudeau” if she has never been in the LPC.
 
Freeland is going to have to continuously deal with her Grandfather's past if she makes a leadership run and if she becomes PM. The grandchild of a Nazi Collaborator will certainly be a mill stone around her neck. It's yet to be known how large or small this mill stone will be.
Of all the things to beat Freeland up about, that is just stupid.

Nobody, but nobody, is responsible for what their grandparents did/didn’t do.

Christy Clark may do ok outside BC. She won’t do well in BC.
 
I friken hop not. She's the most annoying and condescending MP/minister I've ever had the displeasure to listen to.
In which case I hope she annoys the hell out of Trump because he sure screws the hell out of people who don’t irk him.

Worse then that she's the type that will say what ever she needs to in order to win
 
Do Freeland & Carney still sit on the Board of Trustees for WEF? ...
According to this, Freeland yes, Carney no.

Then again, all sorts of people seem to have had contact with the WEF without any apparent ill effect, too ;)

On the other hand, some also say ANY taint is too much.
