    Ah now matt. Your lack of self awareness there is mind-boggling.

    Do you see a big lefty conspiracy with Trudeau, king of the lefties out to take away you NRA membership, (National Rhubarb Alliance?)? Because if you do, you've been brainwashed by fox and friends.

    Once is bad enough but for him to do it twice is just ... well .... racist.

    The Left seem full of racists and anti - Semites. Think it's time they looked in the mirror and had a clean out.

    You need only to look at the coverage of him on mainstream media in all countries to know that he was the poster boy of the left.

    You got sucked in to the PR. He was done for pulling strings for SNC Lavalin. He bullied women on his cabinet wouldn't agree with him, they quit. He supports more pipelines, he was done for accepting a holiday off a wealthy investor. I could go on. Don't just look at the PR.

    There is only so much cringe one can take and this breaks the cringe threshold.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Love how these things surface at the start of an election campaign. Wonder how long they were sitting on this?

    The only outrage is the kind that lives in the cesspit of Twitter. In real life people just get on with things, not dwelling on what is discussed in that online vacuum. However, twitter is far too popular these days that news outlets now report on what gets posted there. Twitter controls what is posted and discussed on its own website. Therefore, it is time to break it up as it is too influential.

    It'll do no long term damage to him. The alternative is a creepy conservative who just the other day said any one of his candidates who made racist comments in the past were okay as long as they apologised, (a few party members are pals with white supremacists). So he can't really make on this.

    I didn't get sucked in by him. He was used as a poster boy though, regardless of his shadiness. I always thought he was a prick.

    He was indeed the epitome of what the left are (not in real life, but the character he portrayed publicly)

    but in fairness, there are a few "leftie" people on here that I usually am at loggerheads with, who I genuinely believe disliked Trudeau before this.

    He's the Prime Minister of Canada ffs. How much loyalty or support do you think anyone not in Canada gives him?
    Can you name anyone in his cabinet or the leader of the opposition without googling?
    You really need step out of the U.S. created culture war and smell the roses.

    We're up to thrice now! The Guardian has removed its tongue from Corbyn's hole for long enough to print a link to episode number three!

    At this rate, by teatime tomorrow Trudeau will have been exposed as the biggest racist since Verwoerd was assassinated in 1966!

    No fan of Trudeau, whatsoever. But two things stick in my craw. Judging, by today’s standards, the actions of some for what they did decades ago… that would have elicited a yawn at the time. And the hypocrisy of the left defending the actions of their own for doing things they would condemn anyone on the right for doing.
