I hope this is illustrative of socialism’s destruction of the west. Canadians are generally sheep. They’ll go along to get along.

I sort of knew this would happen when I got my annual free trial of NHL Center Ice and could watch the commercials. The Liberal TV ads were better than the Tories’ by an order of magnitude.

Let’s hope this leftist clown crashes the Canadian Dollar to 1.7 per USD or lower. I’ve been looking to buy a lake cabin up there now for a couple years.

Oh Canada, the welfare socialist state beckons. Canadians will regret this decision; their standard of living will decline, their health care will get even worse, and the invited Muslim invaders will rejoice as they are imported in the tens of thousands. What a future, and Obama will now have to race even faster to remake the US as Canada goes even further left.

They won a majority of seats but it can hardly be categorized as a “landslide”.

[I want the USA back]

Very stupid move, Canadians!

Scratch off another Israel ally.

I just talked to a friend from Toronto. He is a brilliant scientist and a hard worker who has very little time or patience for politics. He votes liberal because his perception is that liberals are compassionate, tolerant and diverse from inclusive cosmopolitan cities, whereas conservatives are narrow-minded oil cowboys from Alberta.

Great
Let them take the all the Syrians now.

Looks like Canadian women drove that election toward the Libs.

Unfortunately the Canadian Parliamentary system certainly does not often reflect the actual voting re the popular vote. The popular vote across the board was as follows.

Liberals 39.5%
Conservatives 31.9%
NDP 19.7%
Others about 6%.

There have been calls for proportional representation. Prior to this election, Justin Trudeau hinted he might consider it. In short, nearly 60% Canadians did not vote for Trudeau.

One of the first and major challenges facing Trudeau is the abysmal condition of Canada's military forces.

Example 1 - The Sikorsky CH-124 'Sea King' helicopters have been in continuous service since 1963 and it was only in 2009 that the Ministry of Defense (HARPER's Ministry of Defense) finally got off their dead asses and ordered replacements, and guess what?

They just received SIX new replacements (Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclones) just this past June. Meanwhile, the Sea Kings continue to be used as necessary, and while the phrase "flying death trap" has been overused, it certainly applies in the case of the aged Sea Kings.

Example 2 - Canada's surface fleet is wasting away from age, rust and related reliability issues, and HMCS Protecteur (commissioned in 1969) is a great example, being one of only two surviving Canadian supply ships, (“oilers” that re-fuel other ships at sea), it remains in service because it has taken over 10 years to finally settle on a design and authorize replacement, and the new ships won’t be completed until 2018 at the earliest. At one point, Canadian Navy personnel were combing eBay for parts to repair components of the Protecteur because the original manufacturers were either out of business or no longer supplied replacement parts.

Example 3 - Canada's submarine "fleet". The Liberal government of Jean Chretien purchased four mothballed diesel-electric boats from Tony Blair's Used Submarine Shoppe in the UK back in 1998 for $896 million dollars, on their maiden voyage back to Canada, one sub caught fire, one sailor died, others injured, it was obvious from the beginning that they were nowhere near being operational or even seaworthy. The Harper government has poured millions more into those lemons, and achieved a monumental goal earlier this year, it was announced that 3 out of the 4 subs were 'operational' however only 1 sub can actually fire torpedoes. Not content to waste approximately 1 billion dollars by the Chretien regime, Harper followed up in 2008 by authorizing an additional 1.5 billion for 'support and service' of those four seagoing jokes.

Justin Trudeau has gone on the record as saying that he will 'stand up' to Vladimir Putin, however if Putin decides to move into Canadian arctic waters, you can be certain that the current sorry state of the Canadian Navy will be unable to do anything except issue press releases objecting to whatever Putin chooses to do.

As I said to a fine Canadian last night who said he "didn't give a crap about an old crap navy", a nation unable to protect it's borders and coastline is NOT a nation, it is a future conquered territory awaiting it's occupier.

That is what Justin Trudeau had better be thinking about.

[MAKOTHEDOG]

The results mean that Justin Trudeau, 43, a former schoolteacher and son of the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, will become the second-youngest leader in Canada's history.

He is a former part time Drama teacher. As far as I have read that is it and nothing much else and not much different than we have here. Enjoy the hell you unleashed on yourselves liberal Canadians.

Looks more like a drama queen to me.

Looks like Canada goes down before Greece!

Oh, I’m sure Trudeau will not be divisive. He won’t work against families by taking away their tax benefits. He won’t make Alberta the kicking ball like his Dad did. Sure.
