Ever since leaving Canada I’ve come to realize how intellectually stupid Canadian politicians are. The U.S. has Rhodes scholars and Harvard graduates and Canada has kindergarten teachers and used car salespeople. The smartest Canadians know that it’s more lucrative to leave Canada and come to the U.S. so the brain drain leaves Canada at the behest of below average intelligence but highly ambitious and greedy politicians.

- dghlsakjg 3y agoThe Deputy PM of Canada is a Harvard educated Rhodes scholar, wrote an international best-seller and was a correspondent for Financial Times, The Washington Post, and The Economist before joining Thomson Reuters as a managing director. Then she started her political career.
- neom 3y agoChrystia Freeland PM, Mark Carney Deputy PM is a dream team for me. My sister dated Justin for a couple of years at McGill, imo he's a genuinely good guy, but I can't say I'd consider him a good leader.

- neom 3y agoOh really? Ha! Well, I'm out of the loop on that. I still hold a glowing image of him from when he was working in Canada. I guess I should check what he's been up to... terrorized employees seems surprising, but also... not really.
- cpymchn 3y agoAs reported by Bloomberg at the time; he is now on Bloomberg's board, so did the HR person or the journalist fail at their job?
- evandale 3y agoI'm really really sorry but good people don't wear blackface costumes at the age of 29 years old. They also don't assault women and apologize for being so forward because if they knew the victim was a reporter they wouldn't have assaulted them. I have no idea how anyone can have a favourable opinion of Justin Trudeau. He's repeatedly been caught in racist or misogynistic behavior and it blows my mind the number of people who turn a blind eye to it and think he's different. The way he handled Jody Wilson-Raybould, Jane Philpott, and Celina Caesar-Chavannes speaks volumes of his character and what he really thinks of women. Talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words. You can stand up on a podium and declare you're a feminist a million times but his actions repeatedly contradict that statement. He's no feminist and I don't think he cares about anything except for himself and his image.
- neom 3y agoYou don't need to be sorry, you're right. And you're right, I should change my mind, so I will. tbh he was even a bit weird when he dated my sister(so my mother says), but he was very kind to me, so I guess I liked him (my sister is 10 years my senior). Because he was sweet to me when I was young should not be the reason I like him, objectively... he's quite the wanker indeed.
- cpymchn 3y agoBut left TR after her massively expensive digital initiative went pear shaped, (so maybe not the best example in this context).
- refurb 3y agoShe’s a journalist. That should tell you all you need to know.
- blindriver 3y agoIs she the one that let her bodyguard arrest an independent journalist for asking her questions?
