Justin "Because it's 2016" Trudeau shows his true colors

Also how the title to such an article isn't politician brutality or policy brutality, is beyond me. The clicks, gotta bait them!

That's barely even the news story. He apparently plans to take from Harper's playbook and shutdown the criticism process in the house so he can just power legislation through without the opposition getting any say.

I think you mean the book of any political party that made it into power with majority seats lol. Unless you are young in which case i guess it would look like Harpers book from the last 10 years.

Except that it's a far cry from campaign Trudeau who spoke of reforming the first past the post system. Now he's just abusing it. He knows damn well he was voted in by strategic voters. Up until the 11th hour the polling was hinting at a conservative or liberal minority government (with slightly greater chance of conservatives) but a shit load of NDP and Green voters voted strategically to prevent the conservative minority scenario. And he still only scored about 39.5% popular support.

And I'm aware they would all probably do the same thing. But it's getting tiring. It doesn't make it any less shiesty.

Man handling? That's such a sexist term! Where's the womanhandling?

talk about overreaction... he barely touched her and it was unintentional.. other parties are trying to milk this to make political gains.. pathetic

As much as I love knocking Canada, this is ridiculously petty.

Well I'm expecting the people who are most likely to rush to his defense and point out that this is obvioulsy manufactured controversy are also the people who were in a frenzy over the Donald Trump body guard "assault" incident.

Do you have another view on this? A man blocks the camera, so we don't know how hard she's hit. I also think it was unintentional, but he did grab the other man and drag him away. Both cases are assault in America.

Curious why this is being down played. Is politicians grabbing and shoving others common in Canada?

Opening a thread with that kind of mockery and baiting isn't going to lead to productive discussion (and largely hasn't). Locking this here.
