Trudeau and his band of thieving Liberals only got 39.42% of the vote but that was enough to snag 55%of the seats.
Nice to see someone "over the river" clarifying the situation. I hope I do not bore the good folks on FR with repeating the actual way Canada has of choosing a Justin Trudeau. He is elected by his party at a convention as leader. No one gets his name on an election ballot, except in his district. He has to battle it out there. I will concede that he probably would have been elected as prime minister in a head to head vote. All style and charisma does seem to push many otherwise intelligent voters.
Slowly, very slowly some of the press are carping about him. Oh well..... so it goes!
Having spent plenty of time on both sides of the boarder, I think that Canadians as a rule trust the media more than Americans do…. and sad but true, there are plenty of older Canadians who treat what comes out of the CBC as gospel (and CTV is just as bad). In that regard, Canadians are lagging the trend of the US where vast groups of voters have no use for the media and consider it to ONLY be propaganda for the left. Having said that, I now know plenty of folks who read their copy of The Rebel quite religiously. I’m less excited about ‘the press carping about him’ than I am about the prospect that CBC/CTV will start to be regarded with the same level of disdain by Canadians as CNN/NBC is by Americans. When that happens, what the press does/thinks/says won’t matter….they will have become irrelevant.
