One hundred years ago, Canadian prime minister Robert Borden heard about "Canada's victorious day" while in London, then spent a month visiting the wounded. As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau marks 100 years since Vimy, he faces many of the same political burdens

Mr. Murray Brewster... A CBC analyst actually had the audacity to write such drivel... Trudeau is a wet behind the ears bleeding heart liberal who is so out of tune and touch with Canada's military, that he doesn't even have the gumption to salute the Air Force steward who greets him as he boards his plane to go to the Vimy Ridge memorial, or when he goes on any trip aboard the prime ministerial plane that is flown by the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Comparing Trudeau to anybody out of the past, including his father and especially Borden, is complete bunk...

Trudeau comes from 'generation whine' and he acts accordingly listening intently to every cry for help from a generation that is beyond help. It's the generation who's complaints about being teased on the internet, or having been accosted for being different rises to the level of those 19 year old men who became machine gun fodder for German troops 100 years ago. It's a generation who suffers from PTSD at the slightest hint of a traumatic episode.

There are those within this generation of youth who resemble the generations of the past, those mean and woman who's duty to something more important than themselves took precedence... Sadly enough, Justin Trudeau is not one of those few.

What’s really ridiculous to see is that Justin has (predictably) been such a huge disappointment to many here, but the CBC keep on writing, as you say, drivel to prop him up. Even their hockey broadcasts are so unwatchable because of Ron Maclean and the other twits there now.

Many,many amazingly brave men...Americans...Brits...Canadians...Aussies (and others) have paid a huge price for the freedom that we in the West enjoy today.I can't claim to know much about Canada's current PM but what little I've seen (and heard) suggests that he might be a bit of a lightweight.And,of course,our former Community Organizer-In-Chief was a lightweight of the first order.

To suggest that Trudeau faces anything like the pressures that some of Canada's earlier leaders did (WWI/WWII/Korea) is beyond silly.

Robert Borden accomplished much more than Trudeau has, or will, as a nation building Prime Minister: Biography

Trudeau is a wet behind the ears bleeding heart liberal who is so out of tune and touch with Canada's military, that he doesn't even have the gumption to salute the Air Force steward who greets him as he boards his plane to go to the Vimy Ridge memorial, or when he goes on any trip aboard the prime ministerial plane that is flown by the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Junior is indeed a wet-behind-the-ears bleeding-heart liberal, but I don't believe protocol requires him to salute. The Commander-in-Chief is the Queen, or her vice-regent the Governor-General, David Johnston. The Prime Minister is the head of government and it is proper for the military to pay compliments, but I don't think it obliges Trudeau to return them.

Perhaps if there's a Freeper who was/is part of the Canadian Forces, they can correct me on this if I'm wrong.
