And with that, Justin Trudeau is the oldest of the 3 major party leaders. And it's not even close, he's 45 while both Singh and Scheer are just 38 years old.

Kids these days.

This is the first time I've actually respected, albeit perhaps not agreed with, all the party leaders. What a nice change.

And I know which two I will never ever vote for.

My friend Yonny spotted this in a local thrift store. Don't know the price but I'm sure it was cheap.

I will sort of miss him.  Didn't vote for him but liked his tenacity.

I really enjoyed question period when he was the official opposition leader.

He did make a good opposition leader.

"Liberals, Tories tied in public support: poll"

 

Hard to believe.

Hard to believe? Trudeau & Co have to be the most smug, arrogant, self congratulatory two-year old government we have ever seen. There have been a number of notable gaffes and blunders, and of course a huge amount of red ink. 

 

The way the leadership races have shaken out may just be a boon for us conservatives. Through a rather cooky process, we managed to choose a guy who is eminently electable. The NDP may have chosen a guy who is actually cooler than Trudeau and makes millennials feel really good about themselves.

Totally agree. Hard to believe because I was beginning to believe Trudeau & CO were Teflon (nothing sticks).

Damn, jonny. You nailed it.

Oh yeah forgot about that French Villa we owned.

 

Finance Minister failed to disclose due to "early administrative confusion".

...and not until the CBC started asking questions.

Interesting.

No doubt the confusion was over whether he would get caught or not.

Trudeau liberals spend $200k on the cover of their new budget http://nationalpost....eral-tomfoolery

^ Ya, that's brutal.

 

 

Of course, using an ad agency for this foul business has the bonus of cementing Liberal friends in a trade that has a lot of power over the media. No doubt I am making trouble for my company’s desperate, beleaguered bean counters by even talking about this. It is ugly. It is not about a $200,000 cheque: it is about the underlying abyss at which that money hints — and about Liberals not being able to change the exploitative, dubious old-school habits that led them to the Adscam disaster.

 

I do not spend a lot of time wishing for a New Democratic federal government, but I am pretty sure such a government would put a plain orange-ish cover on the print version of the federal budget. And, by the way, how many people even handle a printed version of any government’s budget in the year 2017? A few dozen? Don’t marketing experts know we have the internet now?

They’re throwing money around and getting back into their groove.

And it’s amazing how Morneau remembered he had a French villa. I mean it’s easy to forget that sort of thing, so I can see how that’d happen to a finance minister.

Just think of the jobs that were created in the making of that cover.
