Angela Merkel is a politician.

Markle is a representative of the Royal Family and well known for her fashion sense. My point is that you can take a girl from a questionable upbringing and throw her on the world scene, and even she has more sense than JT.

Also, Merkel is a sea cow who happens to speak German.

Exactly. Even the dotard who triggers you incessantly knows that when you're visiting with foreign dignitaries, that is not the time to play dress-up. It was embarrassing for us as a country.

My god, I'm still laughing that Trudeau dressing up in Indian garb was his biggest scandal thus far, fuck who cares already, move on.

What about when they were haranguing with a known criminal on the same trip, Jaspal Atwal. This is a guy who tried to kill Ujjal Dosanjh!


Sophie Gregoire took the fall for that one. For a feminist, JT really doesn't support his women...

There are politicians in the states dressing in black face, and we're complaining about a politician placating to the local populace on a visit?

Hey fucktard, there is a US politics thread for you to whine in if you want to talk about that.

The more I read about this whole SNC Lavalin "controversy" the more I'm laughing at Conservatives that are up in arms about the whole thing.

I agree with the CPC. This is a real problem as we're viewed on the world scene. You're probably just some kid, but I remember a time when Canadians were welcomed to Asia and Europe. When you could put a Canadian flag on your backpack and have dinners bought for you in places like Brussels and Munich. Between our canoodling with the Ghaddafis and our treatment of Huawai execs, those times are changing.

Let me get this straight. The Conservative party, and Conservatives for that matter are supposed to be pro jobs, pro business. Their very philosophy is the economy and jobs over everything else. SNC Lavalin employs something like 8000 workers in Canada, they are the largest construction firm in Canada.

I am no fan of crony capitalism in the slightest, I think that's pretty clear here. SNC Lavalin is appointed on a wide range of government projects, criminal proceedings against the company would've cost them potentially billions, as well as risking numerous jobs.

Many industry analysts have said that the fallout wouldn't be as bad as JT is making it out to be. Not all 9000 jobs are going to go. In fact, with the typical timeline of a court case, chances are SNC would be able to complete the many projects they have on the go. SNC Canadian business is tiny compared to their global business.

Did you know that SNC Lavalin has over 50,000 global employees?
They have 8732 employees in Canada, while many of them are foriegners contracted from outside of the country.

But hey, JT gots to save dem Canadian jobs...

Do any Conservatives here really think Andrew Scheer wouldn't have done the same? If the economy is shit, you blame Trudeau, when he supposedly does something to protect the economy and jobs, you call him trash.

Ugh, hyperbole.
Do you have any actual facts?

Once again, I'm not a fan of Trudeau, but how the hell do you want it?

Let's just call this what it is, a nothing burger. The people who have a problem with this never liked Trudeau in the first place, and are grasping for straws due to their distaste for his snow flaking "political correctness".

Just be honest about it .

I have no idea what you're trying to say. It's like CIC took over your keyboard.

Get back on your meds, Mikehmg.
