Support NeoGAF

[Cynar]

Yeah but I think that translates to Democrat for them.

I think it goes like this (left to right):

NDP
Liberal
Democrat
Conservative



Republican

More like this


Left ---------Centre-------------------Right
Green---NDP---LIBERAL-------------Democrat----Conservative-Republican


American's are so far right wing that even the Democrats are to Canada and the rest of the world. Politics in that country need to change because you really have no choice for the other side.

 

[KrellRell]

As long as legalization happens.

 

[lupinko]

Oh shit, you mean to tell me Canada once had a pimp as PM?

His dad also dated Barbra Streisand, Kim Cattral and Margot Kidder.

 

[valkillmore]

As long as legalization happens.

Based on what Trudeau ran on, it should happen very soon after the dust settles. And the fact they managed to get a majority will only help to expedite this long-overdue policy change. I welcome it.

 

[massivekettle]

He sure doesn't.

Yes, he does. Gordon Brown is widely perceived to be one of the worst prime ministers of all time according to experts and popular opinions.

Also, Churchill and Thatcher, two of the greatest according to the same sources, were Tories.

 

[nature boy]

Didn't expect a majority, WTH happened to NDP?

Trudeau ain't no Trudeau, times are also different as well.

CPC needed a backup plan to Harper - voters tend to get tired of politicians after so many years in power.

 

[Animator]

Man waking up to a Canada without Harper is a GOOD feeling.

 

[Oneself]

This guy almost unified Québec as Liberals. Now that's a feat.

 

[Silexx]

And now the moment everyone has been waiting for: the cover of the Sun newspapers!

Gordon Brown is like our Paul Martin

good Finance Ministers but not Prime Ministerial

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Now that I think about it, I think we might be fucked.

 

[Mysterious]

Now that I think about it, I think we might be fucked.

Why do you feel that?

 

[Hari Seldon]

So what did this guy say about the TPP? Or is he a typical corporate ballwasher like all US politicians no matter what they say as candidates.

 

[IISANDERII]

Lot of people in this thread think the Liberals are more left-wing than they really are.

Liberals were not my ideal choice but I'd rather have them then Harper that's for damn sure. I'm hopeful that the dissenting voices will push Trudeau further left, making him re-examine things like the TPP and Bill c51

 

[Stet]

So what did this guy say about the TPP? Or is he a typical corporate ballwasher like all US politicians no matter what they say as candidates.

Nothing yet. None of the candidates had access to it. (Except the incumbent obviously.)

 

[Silver Arrows]

And now the moment everyone has been waiting for: the cover of the Sun newspapers!

I thought they'd be losing their collective shit over Harper getting bounced?

 

[Simon Belmont]

That is shockingly mild coming from the Sun.

 

[Lostconfused]

Yeah it just doesn't have the same bite as "welcome to hell"

 

[params7]

Nothing yet. None of the candidates had access to it. (Except the incumbent obviously.)

Would be nice to see its secrecy being downplayed. But read that Canada has been one of TPP's stringiest supporters though.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Why do you feel that?

I don't know, he doesn't seem like the right person.
NDP probably would have been a lot better.
I feel like everyone voted for Justin
a) they didn't want harper
b) legalization of marijuana
c) just followed other people's opinions.

 

[Ahasverus]

I have nothing to add only that I'm happy for you. And your new PM is hot.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

And now the moment everyone has been waiting for: the cover of the Sun newspapers!

Not bad... I was half expecting the Conservative right in Alberta to dub his win "Red October" in the papers.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Well hopefully Canada legalizing weed will speed up the US legalizing it on the east coast since we are going to be losing out on a ton of tax money on the boarder states. However my next fishing trip to Canada is going to be amazing.

 

[valkillmore]

And now the moment everyone has been waiting for: the cover of the Sun newspapers!

Not bad.

 

[The Lamonster]

Congrats Canada!

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

We just hired this guy to look over our country..

Maybe try being a bit more optimistic. I voted liberal for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was Justin's character - he's a smart person who seems to legitimately care about all Canadians, who's also very fact and science minded.

When it comes to platform positions, take a look at their website - there doesn't seem to be anything particularly negative from what I've read

 

[Bisnic]

This guy almost unified Québec as Liberals. Now that's a feat.

I'm curious why the middle of the province is still strongly conservative compared to other regions. It can't be just "radio poubelle" as gutter keep trying to tell us. We even managed 2 liberal ridings in Quebec city.

Quebec is just a rainbow of parties.

 

[lupinko]

Oh please, you could have posted the clip of him falling a flight of stairs.

 

[Frecklestein]

Is he not the prime minister we were looking for..?

 

[Kyuur]

And now the moment everyone has been waiting for: the cover of the Sun newspapers!

Significantly tamer than I expected.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Everything is okay now.

That's my motherfuckin Prime Minister!

that works too, but i feel its overused.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

I love how these pics of Justin have been used to discredit him in someway by the right (not at all implying you are btw).
It's always amusing to me how in some political circles they feel acting human or having a sence of humour is a bad thing. Truth is nobody wants an unrelatable robot as their Leader.

 

[Bedameister]

Good job Canada!

 

[lupinko]

Well I did it anyway.

So here's the WSJ:

 

[Bisnic]

We just hired this guy to look over our country..

I'm not sure I understand. I see a guy having fun. Is having a PM who likes to have fun a problem? You'd rather have emotionless robot Harper or creepy smile angry Tom?

 

[Kazerei]

Experts don't really share your thoughts on Chretien, Trudeau, not even Harper...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_Canadian_prime_ministers

Those are MacLean's rankings, so obviously biased to Liberals.

We will have to wait and see how good time will be to Harper. As for most leaders, there is good (yes, there is), bad and ugly. It's foolish to argue otherwise.

It's kind of funny you linked to the Maclean's rankings yourself, appealing to their "expert" opinion, and next post you're criticizing them for being biased.

 

[Bedameister]

I'm not sure I understand. I see a guy having fun. Is having a PM who likes to have fun a problem? You'd rather have emotionless robot Harper or creepy smile angry Tom?

The problem is that he just gave himself up to the imperial troops. He didn't fight. He is not a real jedi.

Yummy rainbows

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

At least Harper's out.

 

[revolverjgw]

That's my motherfuckin Prime Minister!

http://youtu.be/Fay63NZBb8M

I think seeing this on John Oliver is what swung my vote from NDP to Liberal.

 

[lupinko]

The problem is that he just gave himself up to the imperial troops. He didn't fight. He is not a real jedi.

Nah, he's more lovable oaf, Han Solo.

 

[djplaeskool]

Thank you for being decent human beings, Canada.

God damn.
Swag is off the charts.

 

[Sinatar]

Oh hey he got a majority too, that's surprising.

Go fuck yourself Harper you piece of shit. You will not be missed.

 

[Anoregon]

Congrats Canada on getting rid of Harper, he seemed like a real piece of shit.

 

[lupinko]

Thank you for being decent, logical human beings, Canada.



God damn.
Swag is off the charts.

His dad did Hollywood movie stars like Streisand, Kidder and Cattrall and his mom did Mick Jagger among others.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I'm all for having a PM with personality, Justin just seems like a 20 something year old stuck in a 43 year olds body.

 

[whitehawk]

We just hired this guy to look over our country..

And?

Alright then.
