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.

This was an excellent read. Much more than mocking the idiot/tool Justin Trudeau, it is a truly damning indictment of the criminal Castro regime.

Assuming he has irony, satire, and parody on his mind then much of that is great stuff. His humor skewers the tripe that passes as liberal/prog/Dim smart thinking.

We mourn the passing of Lucifer who was known for his innovative use of geothermal heating energy and his willingness to provide free housing for people considered undesirables.

The entire hashtag is a wonderful, global recognition of TRUTH.

Calling evil “good” is going to grow more and more difficult for these globalists.

My reaction as a Canadian , previoulsy posted:

“Canada’s Prime Minkster, JustIN Fluedough, Canada’s Commie Village Idiot, is praising the ba$tard.” I doubt he would survive a 5 mile bicycle ride in Alberta.

And I did not vote for the supercilious ba$tard. So many Canadians are so bitter about the a$$hat.

Flue-dough is a short timer now. We Canadians will rid ourselves of him at the earliest opportunity.

Canada's big on curling.

A few years back, a curling game app, by a highschooler, was briefly the #1 selling game.

Perhaps "bonspiel" is part of the common argot of the sport?

Mass killings occurred under some Communist regimes during the twentieth century. Estimates of the death toll vary widely, depending on the methodology used. Scholarship focuses on the causes of mass killings in single societies, though some claims of common causes for mass killings have been made. Some higher estimates of mass killings include not only mass murders or executions that took place during the elimination of political opponents, civil wars, terror campaigns, and land reforms, but also lives lost due to war, famine, disease, and exhaustion in labor camps. There are scholars who believe that government policies and mistakes in management contributed to these calamities, and, based on that conclusion combine all these deaths under the categories “mass killings”, democide, politicide, “classicide”, or loosely defined genocide. According to these scholars, the total death toll of the mass killings defined in this way amounts to many tens of millions; however, the validity of this approach is questioned by other scholars. In his summary of the estimates in the Black Book of Communism, Martin Malia suggested a death toll of between 85 and 100 million people.[1]

As of 2011, academic consensus has not been achieved on causes of large scale killings by states, including by states governed by communists. In particular, the number of comparative studies suggesting causes is limited. The highest death tolls that have been documented in communist states occurred in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, in the People’s Republic of China under Mao Zedong, and in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. The estimates of the number of non-combatants killed by these three regimes alone range from a low of 21 million to a high of 70 million.[2][dubious – discuss] There have also been killings on a smaller scale in North Korea, Vietnam, and some Eastern European and African countries.

Cuba Archive President Maria Werlau says the total number of victims could be higher by a factor of 10. Project Vice President Armando Lago, a Harvard-trained economist, has spent years studying the cost of the revolution and he estimates that almost 78,000 innocents may have died trying to flee the dictatorship. Another 5,300 are known to have lost their lives fighting communism in the Escambray Mountains (mostly peasant farmers and their children) and at the Bay of Pigs. An estimated 14,000 Cubans were killed in Fidel’s revolutionary adventures abroad, most notably his dispatch of 50,000 soldiers to Angola in the 1980s to help the Soviet-backed regime fight off the Unita insurgency.

Is this Trudeau related to that guy who does that lame Doonesbury strip that also tries way too hard to be trendy?

I laughed out loud when I read that line. Red Green is cooler than Trudeau.
