RupertKBD Posted Tuesday at 07:40 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:40 PM So I decided to check and see how Justin's appearance on Colbert went last night. There were several videos available, but most were about his opinion of Canada on the world stage. I listened to what he said and was actually impressed when he declined to comment on Colbert's joke about the safety of our pets, and whether Pollievre is the "Canadian Trump".... Instead, he focused on the positives, while admitting that the country is going through some challenges, which has affected his popularity and led to the Cons' attempt to force an early election. All in all, a pretty solid job, considering the tough spot he is in. The Colbert crowd was obviously impressed as well, judging by their reaction.... All of that being said, I wasn't at all surprised to see another video, (further down the list) with the caption, "Justin Trudeau BOMBS on Colbert".... TBH, I'm a bit surprised that it hasn't already been posted by our crocodilian friend.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the US polling has him worried. He seems pretty happy with himself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, his dad was 4 terms, so it would make sense that he'd want to match and not exceed his dad's number of terms. I noticed the subtle shot at career politicians in that 3rd video clip.

Elias Pettersson Posted Wednesday at 01:18 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:18 AM No wonder he’s so unhinged and so desperate not to call an election now. I’m sure Dana White will give him a call once he’s unemployed… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jagmeet can’t even win his own riding then he shouldn’t be a politician. Not sure how “helping” him out serves any purpose other than “fixing” an election.

There's no good reason to vote for vermin like Poilivre, regardless of the current government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left or even right vote splitting won't be an issue under that system. Edited Wednesday at 03:12 AM by 24K 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
