Mr. Trudeau’s judgment, and the company he keeps [Joshua Boyle]

Among the hazards of public life are the photo ops that come back to haunt you. Our snap-happy Prime Minister is a case in point. Since the tropical vacation with his old friend, the Aga Khan, that cheery photo of the two of them on Parliament Hill has been rerun a thousand times. Whenever people see the picture they remember the private island, and thus it will ever be.

Now there's the Boyle family. If you didn't know the backstory, the photos of their meeting with Justin Trudeau are positively heartwarming. After all, these are the hostages who were dramatically rescued from the clutches of the Taliban in October. The PM met with them just before Christmas. He looks caring and compassionate. The baby Boyle he's bouncing on his knee looks adorable. It's a happy ending to a gruesome story.

Except that Joshua Boyle has now been charged with a string of serious criminal offences...

Yeah, well, look at from whom he inherited his DNA (nature), as well as the "nurture" side.

I came across a site of his family's photos, and one is Margaret supporting him, standing, naked. He was probably ~2 from my uneducated pediatric guess.

So, I think Justin hangs with strange, for to him, it's "normal".

I don’t know that it will haunt him because of the press.

Remember that picture of the SWAT team forcibly taking Elian Gonzales? If Clinton had been a Republican that picture would have been used with every mention of his administration by the press, but since Clinton is a Democrat, he gets a pass.

Trudeau was brought up by nannies, probably more so than even the Royal family since his father was a philandering Prime Minister, and his much younger mother was a bipolar philandering alcoholic drug addict.

His eventual chosen vocation was teaching elementary school children at a private school (much like all the private schools he attended), and not being able to hold that position, he then became a part time substitute elementary school teacher.

His next job was being selected with the help of an adoring left wing press corps, as leader of the dysfunctional Liberal party. Now he finds himself (once again with the help of an adoring left wing press) prancing about as the Prime Minister of Canada, a job his father performed as the semi-Socialist Quebec Nationalist. For the most part his father was a terrible prime minister, but the one thing he did posses and obviously did not pass on to his offspring was an inkling of intellectual intelligence.

Justin is dumber than a doorpost and lacks basic intellect, but he does like to smoke pot, do lots of selfies and hang out with rich people.

Oddly enough, the article states that crazy Joshua Boyle the former hostage and obvious lunatic is a ‘media hound’, and that’s rather funny because the entire reason Trudeau was getting his photo taken with Joshua Boyle’s poor child bouncing on his knee, is because he and Boyle are essentially peas in a pod when it comes to being ‘media hounds’.
