New York Times: Canada Today: Trump Is a Blessing and a Curse for Trudeau
Quote:
Mr. Trudeau’s recognition of the energy industry’s importance appeared to be a key factor in Alberta’s decision, under Premier Rachel Notley, to adopt a carbon tax. But, as Clifford Krauss and I found this week, the return of Keystone XL may upset Canada’s plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Extracting oil from the tarlike bitumen in the oil sands burns up a lot of fuel and generates substantial quantities of greenhouse gases. If Keystone XL goes ahead, many analysts, captains of industry and environmentalists say it will increase production at the oil sands and, thus, the amount of carbon they release into the air. When that is combined with increased emissions from two other pipeline projects Mr. Trudeau approved late last year, it’s not clear how the government will be able to meet its carbon-reduction targets.

Climate change is a popular concern in Canada and Trudeau is under pressure to meet reduction targets, but at the same time Keystone is a good deal.
Reuters: Canada PM tweets welcome to refugees as Trump puts hold on arrivals
Today Justin Trudeau tweeted:
Quote:
"To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada," the prime minister tweeted on Saturday.
I honestly don't think Trump is particularly interested in Canada, except as a potential entry into the States.
A Trumpian America does effect Canada though.

Yeah. This young Trudeau is kind of cute, huh?
^And what do you mean by 'predominantly'? You mean there's still a chance?

Anyone who thinks that there are impossible things, just has not had a wild enough night. Statistically, don't hold your breath.

Pierre Trudeau clearly got cucked by Fidel Castro, just look at and compare a picture of a young Pierre and a young Fidel and compare to Justin and judge for yourself. If you know anything about Margaret Trudeau then it really isn't that far fetched.
Now apart from being the son of a communist dictator, he seems like an all around terrible leader who will leave Canada much worse off and less safe than when he took over. At least he's going to legalize marijuana, maybe...

I wasn't aware this was a thing. Snopes has this to say on the matter:
"The first time Castro and the Trudeaus met face-to-face was a famous trip made by the Canadian couple to Cuba in 1976. This event has been chronicled, along with some purportedly saucy comments, in a book that has been cited by many of the Trudeau-truthers to suggest sexual attraction between Margaret and Fidel. This is a red herring, as Justin had been born well before this meeting."
Sadly, this one seems to just be a weird coincidence.

Sounds like segregation to me. I'd agree if the discussion had a different tone.
When I hear about ideas Trudeau has, apologies he makes, and his responses to Trump, I find him very charming and appealing. He's also undeniably cute, so unless we need to enforce heteronormativity, there's nothing adult about it, and no reason to keep the discussion in a specific safe space.

Hmmm....With that I can see the potential for all these snowflakes down here upset by the Trump presidency using that as a key to get into thier promised land (Canada). After all, arent they fleeing persecution, terror, and war in a way at least in thier little minds.
Hey, feelings count ya know..

The timeline doesn't really disprove it, they did after all "secretly wed" so I wouldn't expect it to be on the record, you have to admit there are some rather odd coincidences considering the relationship between the two and the resemblance to me at least is uncanny. Does anybody think that Justin Trudeau looks more like his father Pierre than he does Fidel? Justin is a strong 6'2", Fidel is 6'3", Pierre was how tall?

That's not at all surprising.

The chin and the nose aren't quite right. He might have inherited those from his mother, but there's only a passing resemblance rather than a familial one.
