Trudeau’s turn from cool to laughing stock

Maclean's - Canada ^

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.

Guy needs adult supervision - badly!

Looks like we will need a border wall with Canada...don’t want any Trudeau commies coming here

“He made Canada cool again”

On what planet?

[atc23]

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

[Cicero]

Trudeau hasn’t changed. He’s done the same things again and again, and finally some of those who thought he was “cool” are starting to wake up.

“Cool” is OK for a rap singer, but not so great for a top-of-the-line politician.

Obama’s white doppelganger.

We need to bring back Red Green to make Canada cool.

Trudeau will destroy everything Stephen Harper accomplished in two years.

[JudyinCanada]

Well, for many of us, he was a laughing stock from the get-go. I miss Stephen Harper....we really do need an adult.

Osama Bin Laden was certainly a controversial figure, but his contribution to airport security is unparalleled. #trudeaueulogies

Against all odds, Charles Manson not only kept his family together, he made sure they achieved most of their squad goals #trudeaueulogies

Mr. Ponzi, a hard-working Italian immigrant, ushered in a new era of financing techniques now used by governments worldwide #Trudeaueulogies

LOL!

Duct Tape will definitely start to fix a lot of what broken up there.

Trudeau is a Punch Drunk Pothead

[Celtic Conservative]

Convoluted word for what is essentially a big game of marbles (on ice).

Elect a dope-smoking ex-high-school drama teacher as your leader, and you get a dope-smoking-ex-high-school-drama-teacher level of leadership.

Like the article says, it was bound to happen sooner or later to this in-over-his-head incompetent.

[Eddie01]

Trudeau was always a laughing stock.

Pray Canada wakes. (total Bray rip-off)

[Robert DeLong]

To the cool (or so they see themselves as at any rate) on this planet, sadly. We see them for what they really are, children who lack fully developed brains.

Thank you!

Exactly! We’ve enough of our own home-made ones! Don’t need imports

[Former Proud Canadian]

Canada's PM who shall not be named is a dope, a pug, a mutt, a dimbulb, a dilettante, a pipsqueak, a child, an asterisk of a leader.

With any luck the conservatives will choose a leader wisely and this assclown will be relegated to the dung heap of history after the next election.
