Justin Trudeau, 2010: "Canada isn't doing well right now because it's Albertans who control our community and socio-democratic agenda. It doesn't work." #cdnpoli
When asked whether he thought Canada was "better served when there are more Quebecers in charge than Albertans," Trudeau replied, "I'm a Liberal, so of course I think so, yes. Certainly when we look at the great prime ministers of the 20th century, those that really stood ..."
"the test of time, they were MPs from Quebec. There was Trudeau, there was Mulroney, there was Chrétien, there was Paul Martin. We have a role. This country, Canada, it belongs to us."
Trudeau's Liberal leadership campaign said his 2010 comments were taken out of context: "The Conservatives are using out-of-context statements made years ago in a long interview ... and are resorting to smear campaigns" the statement said.
"Out of context?" In what context are such statements by a future Prime Minister of Canada not concerning?

Disallowed from running for the Conservative nomination in London North Centre, Prof. Salim Mansur @SalimMansurLNC announces today he will run as the People's Party of Canada candidate in the same riding under @MaximeBernier. Here is and edited version of his acceptance speech:
Every federal election is important, yet in retrospect some are more important and more critical than others in the life of a country, such as ours. But going into this 2019 election, we can say with great deal of certainty that this election for a number of reasons will be a ..
crossroad election and the future of our country hangs in balance, as was the election in February 1980.
In 1980 Quebec separatism threatened the unity of our country; today it is the twin forces of Globalism and Islamism, joined at the hip, that threaten both the unity of Canada

What's wrong with these people? They're literally starting to resemble the Inner Party in Orwell's 1984: Liberal & NDP members of Commons' justice committee vote to scrub Conservative MP's 'hurtful' remarks to Muslim witness from official record cbc.ca/news/politics/… #cdnpoli
Then they decided not to televise the committee appearances of free speech advocates Mark Steyn, John Robson and Lindsay Shepherd on Tuesday, and only record the audio.
Almost as appalling is that because Andrew Scheer removed Tory MP Michael Cooper from the committee for defending conservatives from the allegation that what they write leads to terrorist attacks on Muslims, the Conservatives are hamstrung in opposing this nonsense.

I understand why Cooper had to, and should have, apologized for saying a witness to a parliamentary committee should be ashamed of himself, given that the witness did not conduct himself in an unparliamentary fashion, simply testified before a committee which is what witnesses do
But beyond that, what is the issue here? Let's go over what created the controversy. Faisal Khan Suri, the president of the Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council said the following:
“The evidence from Bissonette’s computer showed he repeatedly sought content about anti-immigrant, alt-right and conservative commentators, mass murderers, U.S. President Donald Trump, and about Muslims, immigrants living in Quebec,” Suri said.

#Canada is at point where we hear a constant barrage of hate and fear. @CPC_HQ is yelling about a constant Trumpian border crisis that doesn’t exist. We do not have a border crisis. Yes. People have crossed, but, they aren’t wandering around #Canada
#cdnpoli 1/
#Canadians need to realize these people turn themselves into the RCMP. Our border is manned. They know who is crossing. We are obligated to hear their request. Most will be deported/sent back to the United States. As per Safe Third Country Agreement. We have no crisis 2/ #cdnpoli
The @CPC_HQ are stoking fear. When they know the laws. If the #CPC were in power, they too would be dealing with it the same way.
The @CPC_HQ stoking fear is to divide #Canadians
They don’t care about the border they have an agenda. That agenda should scare you 3/ #cdnpoli

Justin Trudeau's politics in a nutshell: Make grand, sweeping pronouncements and reap the precious political capital; then actively work against the commitment you ostensibly made huffingtonpost.ca/2018/10/03/lib… #cdnpoli
This has been a consistent feature of Trudeau's government and the way it conducts itself generally. Consider Carolyn Bennett going before the UN in the summer of 2016 to adopt UNDRIP and compare to the posture the government assumed mere months later:
Or consider the way the government has tended to posture around the issue of economic inequality on the world stage: in Europe, Trudeau sounds the alarm about rising inequality and in Canada he opposes universal programs and cuts taxes for people making 200K a year

So #Trudeau is spending #Canada into oblivion. Investment money is leaving or already left. #Canadamilitary lacks equipment and funding, with no long term strategy for procurement of military equipment. Rising interest rates (4th time since last summer) will eventually lead to-
hyper-inflation, absolutely devaluing investments such as Homes and Businesses of the average citizen. No Trade deal is even close to being signed. Massive new Taxes, waves of people entering the country illegally. A Prime minister who was found guilty of 4 felonies committed-
in the course of his duties as Prime Minister. Magically timed shootings coincide with gun control measures, at locations which would be celebrating holidays or having events where large numbers of people would be attending. #cdnpoli
