Does Canada have a "Maniac" Prime Minister?

[AnthonyGiarrusso]

Why would people in the USA, Mexico, and Canada claim that Canada's 23rd Prime Minister J.Trudeau is a "maniac"? Why would he be labeled this way? Is it possibly because of socialist policies; lack of connection to the Canadian people, not patriotic enough, poor political management, or possibly something else?

Trudeau's progressive social policy included strong advocacy for feminism and abortion rights, and introduced the right to medically assisted dying. His environmental policy included introducing new commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% to 45% before 2030, and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.​

What political leader doesn't have critics?

First I've ever heard of him being called a maniac, and I'm a Canadian who follows politics some. Who started that? Trump? (I don't particularly like Mr. Trudeau for his general personal attitude, but I like the policies of his party.)

I will take the socialistic policies and lack of patriotism anytime, for any political leader anywhere.

Sorry, that doesn't answer your clickbait. On second thought, I am not sorry at all.

Callers from Canada on podcasts.

Most likely the same guys who have the F_____ Trudeau stickers on their trucks. A great response for them is to point out that Trudeau himself owns the bumper sticker company that sells those, so every time you buy one, you're supporting him. I guess there are people everywhere who would think any public figure is a maniac. So really it's no surprise. It's that I don't listen to much anti-whatever stuff.

 

[Secret Chief]

Socialist policies? I'd vote twice for him. I imagine it's the rightwing headbangers that call him a maniac?

Conservative media knows no borders. If they're attacking, it means you're doing something right

To me this comes across as a gish gallop of claims regarding a host of issues being "maniac".

If you are actually interested in giving these items the attention they require to be unpacked i would suggest making threads for individual items with a suitable time interval between them to allow for fruitful debate.

Otherwise making a list of items and describing them as the ideas of a maniac is simply an ad-hominem fallacy worthy of rejection in my view.

That's great! LMAO!

 

[SomeRandom]

I’ve seen my politicians called far worse

But then again, I’m an Aussie.
We call our friends far worse names than that lol

No.

Seems laid back and reserved compared to some politicians we have in the States.

 

[SkepticThinker]

Not even a little.

I was a strong supporter of his father, but cannot stand even listening to the son. I would not call him a maniac, but it really is time for him to finally go. Unlike what some have said in this thread, many Canadians think the Emperor Justin is perhaps the worst Canadian Prime Minister in modern history.

From CTV:


"3 in 10 say Justin Trudeau is the worst recent PM, 1 in 5 call Pierre Trudeau the best: survey"

3 in 10 say Justin Trudeau is the worst recent PM, 1 in 5 call Pierre Trudeau the best: survey

A new survey has found more Canadians consider Justin Trudeau the worst prime minister of the last 55 years than any other PM, while his father ranks as the most popular.

You ask a question that includes an assertion -- that "the USA, Mexico, and Canada claim that Canada's 23rd Prime Minister J. Trudeau is a 'maniac.'"

Now, my problem is that I cannot find that claim anywhere. Have you just made it up on your own, or do you have a source? And if you've just made it up on your own, what is your intention in having done so?

I think adding some socialist elements to more of "the west" is a good thing, e.g. universal healthcare, good education...

But I do not think we can afford to budge an inch on protecting the free speech laws we have. I think he's budged a lot on that issue, and that's enough for me to think he's got to go. Free speech is too, too, too critical to be mucked around with for political appeasement.

I've not run across any of that, but I certainly know he has plenty of detractors.
