He tested positive for COVID. https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/1488162322187182085 https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/1488162322187182085 Doug Ford, Conservative Premier of Ontario, has actually been hiding, no COVID excuse and no one's even threatening to overthrow him.

Would be nice if you provided a reference about Doug Ford hiding, or if he's just adhering to current law in his country.

  > or if he's just adhering to current law in his country What does this even mean. He's making no public statements, that's what it means for a politician to be "hidden". Meanwhile Trudeau has made several damning statements about the trucker convoy.

    I wasn't familiar with that use of the word hidden. I thought you meant physically in hiding, because Trudeau is physically hiding.

      I didn't realize you needed to know the exact whereabouts of the Canadian Prime Minister at all times. Aren't you happy to not be seeing him anyways?

        What? You made a confusing statement why are you attacking me after I asked for clarification? Maybe consider taking a breather.

        I mean you're here too, responding to each of my comments.

        Look at the difference in tone and energy between our comments.

It doesn't answer my question. His tweet reads "I’m feeling fine" - where is he then? His twitter's been ridiculous, like nothing is happening in 100m from the Parliament. What does Doug Ford have to do with that? Why did you bring him up here?
- afterburner 5y ago
  Having to do everything remotely does make it harder to make appearances. He's not like Trump, he doesn't just disregard COVID protocol. And he's also made several damning statements about the trucker convoy, so I'm curious why you think he's "hiding". More likely you're just trying to portray him in a negative light.

    > I'm curious why you think he's "hiding" Because that's what he's doing. His nation is in crisis, his capital is in blockade, and what he did with that? Made "several damning statements" from some undisclosed location? That's not leadership that we need right now.
    - afterburner 5y ago
      The capital is not in blockade, the nation is not in crisis. That's the trucker convoy's framing, which makes it sound like their protest is "succeeding" at being as disruptive as possible. But all that's happening is a bunch of protestors with trucks refuse to leave a small patch of downtown Ottawa. Oh and honking all the time, annoying local residents. I suspect you don't want Trudeau's leadership in any case.

        > I suspect you don't want Trudeau's leadership in any case. There's no such thing as "Trudeau's leadership" in any case. BTW, where's he?

How convenient to "test positive" when the truckers have come home to roost in Ottawa.
- afterburner 5y ago
  So you're a fan of conspiracy theories then. It's not at all weird to test positive in the middle of the Omicron wave.

    Politicians lie all the time. That doesn't make it a "conspiracy theory".
  - giancarlostoro 5y ago
    I don't think disbelieving Trudeau necessarily means you're a conspiracy theorist. If this is the only instance where you doubt someone's COVID status does that make you a full blown conspiracy theorist or just a skeptic?
    - afterburner 5y ago
      Do you have any facts to discuss, or just your made up version of reality?
      - giancarlostoro 5y ago
        Man, I hit a nerve or something. I'm not making any claims about this, I'm just saying a one off comment doesn't make someone a conspiracy theorist. Now if you were to show me more than that from the originating user, that's a whole other story, but at that point you seem a little too invested for a one off comment that could of just been downvoted and ignored.
        TurkishPoptart 5y ago
        Right. I agree. Some people here have no idea how politics work. It's rife with theater, pantomime, misdirection, and mis-framing debate in order to win.

Yeah pretty coincidence that happened to just line up in time with him being able to hurl generalized insults through his media conglomerate instead of being present and actually dealing with the situation as the leader of the country when you have people at your door step.
