Trudeau’s turn from cool to laughing stock
Maclean's - Canada ^

Posted on 11/27/2016 11:07:48 AM PST by b_Cap37

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Ever since his election as Canada’s prime minister last October, Justin Trudeau has revelled in global tributes, raves and swoons. He’s the Disney prince with the trippy dance moves, the groovy Haida tattoo and the gender-balanced cabinet. He’s the last best hope for globalization, the star attraction at the Pride Parades, the hero of the Paris Climate Summit, the guy everyone wants a selfie with.

Trudeau made himself synonymous with Canada. He made Canada cool again. It was fun while it lasted.

By the early hours of Saturday morning, Havana time, Trudeau was an international laughing stock. Canada’s “brand,” so carefully constructed in Vogue photo essays and Economist magazine cover features, seemed to suddenly implode into a bonspiel of the vanities, with humiliating headlines streaming from the Washington Post to the Guardian, and from Huffington Post to USA Today.

Well, I might not have felt like singing “If You’re Happy and You Know It” on election night last year, but I knew it was only a relatively short matter of time before he really started to disappoint people. Basically a twit and a meddler who loves his selfies.

MARK MY WORDS: We will all have a different opinion of Trudeau when he wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Caligula one was one of the best:

“Today we say goodbye to Caligula former Roman emperor best known for his love of horses.”

“We mourn the untimely death of Emperor Nero, who provided nourishing meals for the hungry lion population of the Circus Maximus and Colosseum.”

Grinning and bloodied Alberta hockey goons with three out of four teeth missing are cool. Second act of a media manufactured pretentious Socialist dynasty that was crap when it was the sixties and no one knew any better? Not so much.

>>Canada cool again? - because of a faggy little bedwetting leftist Trudeau? Right

To Proggie globalists, faggy little bedwetting leftists are the epitome of cool because they will let you sell their country out from under them and then ask for rent subsidies to occupy land that was their birthright. They consider an economy where no job lasts for more than 2 years to be a better way to live.

Trudeau was an international laughing stock.

Proves that the USA doesn't have a complete monopoly on "Horse's Ass" politicians in the Western Hemisphere...close, but not complete.

stupid use of the word. An elitist trying to show use that he can use unknown words. Hey stupid, they are unknown because no one uses them.

Spawn of the Canadian-version of a political Royal Family. But we have our Kennedys, Clinton’s & Bushs.
