FED Issue #15 - Canada and the world. Any International politics/terror/trade issue.

Stupider compared to who? Look at who they must vote for down south, it makes us seem smart in comparison. If it was alright for harper to go on a trade mission to China in 2014 , why is it wrong for JT to go this year? It is the same China!

Poverty is sexist, is very true according to the U.N. Women make up 51% of humans , but 70% of people living in poverty are female. You do the math! Poverty is sexist....absolutely.

[JBen]

Mmmmm.
Sexism, is something humans do.
Poverty is a condition brought about by many factors, not the least of which is personal choice.

while there can be and are, barriers to breaking the chain. Most of those are for example race related, or environmental.
not something that's mysogistic or other.

with respect to the catch phrase and movement.
Suggest you do a little research on some of the claims. Here's a factoid G. Far far women are getting post secondary educations then men. Their claim is patently false.

Oh and G, before you go off half cocked. Perhaps you'd like to answer this. I've asked it of a few of my most ardent feminist friends. None seem able to adequately answer them.
If the world (but pertinently the western world) oppresses women so badly.
1) why do they live so much longer
2) why are suicide rates for men so much higher
3) why are so few women found in industries they are very capable of doing, but....

equality, wage gaps and all that are great. Won't argue, for example there are far far more men in the boardrooms. There are also far, far more men in the labour market (say construction, mining), dangerous fields, and others. Perhaps if women were more ok with taking taking the "dirty jobs" that someone has to do. Or even good jobs, high paying jobs like the trades (electricians, plumbers et al) because being unionized.........where sexism plays no role....

if there are more women in the low income brackets, I don't know. Drive a cab? Take a job as a landscaper, garbage collector?

Poverty itself is not sexist. Poverty itself is not racist.
Food god you progressives will latch onto anything.

Harper earned stature as a world leader and knew how to negotiate to everyone's benefit. World leaders respected him and Canada. Trudeau has none of that and most world leaders see him and his government as a joke.

Well how much respect for him can you have?

1) Admires dictatorship when asked favourite gov't
2) Was taking $20,000 to speak from school boards and charities while earning an MP's salary
3) Admitted illegal drug user that wants to but seems incapable of making it legal.
4) Strip tease dancing for women
5) so rich and detached from reality he thinks budgets balance themselves
6) Lied (or maybe just got wrong because he doesn't listen to the news) repeatedly about cuts that didn't happen, (National post referred to it as a blatantly dishonest speaker)... AND a $80,000,000,000 lie about the debt (others got it right before the election) and as for the news.

7) even brings his mommie with him to events in the US and Paris... on the taxpayer dime.
8) needs two nannies and his wife wants more staff
9) Canadian Christians get murdered by Muslims.... so he goes to a Mosque and does selfies.
10) Thinks terrorists should get to keep their citizenship and just feel left out (CBC/Boston bombing)
11) Comments about whipping out our F-18's and if you kill terrorists they win....
well I can go on and on but the supporters of Justin Zoolander will have probably stopped reading by now.

but don't you just love the security guard behind him's face....

With all the trade that we do with the US and the talk by trump of limiting imports I wish he could spend more time in China. Turn on the charm trudope like he did on the election and it's a huge benefit for us.

And mosquito great last pic it's nice to see the PM supporting equal rights and the gay community.

I wish he could spend more time in China,too..........like,all of it. He'd fit right in.

....

there is quite a difference between running for election and governing a country!
being charming means zero in foreign politics.

so if somebody got his entire life away with putting on a smile, how qualified do you think they are to take on an uphill battle?

anyway diplomats play the major role. I have not followed if there were any major changes in appointments, but if he appoints some, and based on what senators he appointed, we can be assured that they will be foremost party cronies.

I love this picture too..... the first picture I showed earlier, at the parade, shows his immaturity and in general I would say his inability to garner respect/support for serious minded people. Now at the G20 this one shows where we stand in the world now.... outside the adults talking.

I mean his recent comments about Canada's human rights record .... he truly is clueless, we hand out $10,000,000,000 per year and let them manage the money without accountability and are suprised when Chiefs pay them selves more than the PM. While the gov't in power in China at different times killed 50,000,000, ran tanks over students killing numbers over 1,000 I have heard, their treatment of Tibet, press, admitted torture to get confessions and supports a gov't that has over 200,000 in slave labour camps etc.

The "tale of the tape",yesterday,was when he was deliberately excluded from a security meeting between Obama,Putin,Ukraine reps and Chinese military strategists (!?) over Syrian and Russian indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets. The Canadian delegation was excluded,completely,despite the fact we have Special Forces in theater. Trudeau,Dion et al were too naive or too stupid to recognize the diplomatic "snub" to be offended,FFS.
