It would be criminal not to have him wear a Trump-styled toupee at least once while in office.

i think he meant ruining, but then again, i already read up on his business history before...

I'm not sure if you meant ruining or running, as I'm pretty sure both apply, but being better than someone that's underqualified doesn't make you qualified, it just makes you less underqualified.

What a fucking loser. I guess imagine he was too much of a pussy to run before Trump's success.

DragonChi 01-18-2017 02:43 PM

I like his business style, he tells it like it is. On that end of the spectrum, it also means he lacks compassion. I don't see him being the leader of any country without it. It would be very surprising if he was able to make it to the leadership of the tories, let alone PM of Canada.

RRxtar 01-18-2017 04:57 PM

A couple things here...

To start with, yes O'Leary and Trump are both businessmen that were on TV, but calling Kevin Canada's Trump is pretty silly and that needs to stop before it starts. Trump seems to have actually lost his mind and is less of a businessman and more of a buffoon these days.

Im strongly against career politicians, and a big fan of non-politician business people running for office. Kevin seems to be quite fiscally responsible and we will have to see what his platform looks like, but I bet it will be very center, with a strong focus on correcting the economy.

And I know most of RS is pretty solidly in the Liberal camp, but stand back for a second and realize Canada started this ball rolling with elected a pretty face celebrity in 2015. Justify it all you want, but thats who most Liberal voters voted for. 15 months later and we've still only got a pretty face celebrity... and a horrifying economic outlook.

And finally, aside from the french thing, the big thing that will hold Kevin back is his stance on firearms. A big majority of firearms owners are conservatives (they have to be), and Kevin is not pro-firearm. That is a non starter for a huge number of conservatives.

Do you really think 9 years of shit can be fixed in 15 months?

I'm want some of what you're drinking.

Verdasco 01-18-2017 05:20 PM

is O'leary the type of person to bring Canada ground up to a stronger economy? hmmm

68style 01-18-2017 05:24 PM

Kevin O'Leary is fiscally responsible!!! What are you smoking RRxtar, go take 5 minutes out of your day and look at the list of companies and hedge funds he's completely ruined. The only thing he's good at financially is lining his pockets at the expense of other people.

Unfuckingbelievable...

DragonChi 01-18-2017 05:26 PM

Pretty face has been in office a little more than a year, still above 50% of promises delivered and a few in progress. Conservative economy wasn't that great under Harper either.

https://www.trudeaumetre.ca

From the people Trump is appointing to his administration, it looks like they're going to be in a world of hurt. I can honestly say that I wouldn't trust a business man, successful or not, to be in office at this point.

According to the article a page back, Kevin does seem fiscally responsible. But with a bit of digging, he's just a persona on TV. His book, "Cold hard truth", is also telling of his arrogance and unwillingness to be accountable for his actions.

With the likes of Harper, Trump, and Bush being elected. I can say he has a chance. :lol

The first 30 seconds of this video is all anyone needs to know about this piece of shit excuse for a human being:

So please explain how 3.5 billion people living in poverty is fantastic news?

Great68 01-18-2017 05:59 PM

Come on man, that's not "telling it like is" that's more like spewing ignorance.

Sure there might be some Cinderella rags to riches stories out there, but they're extremely rare compared to the other 3.499999 billion out there who will be stuck in eternal poverty. Their social situations will simply never lend them those opportunities to become "stinking rich" as that penis-face puts it.

It's the ongoing reality of this earth.

You going to help some fucking family living in a straw hut by texting a $25 donation to 5555?

We were all born into the privilege of first world luxury. Unless you're gonna go to Africa and get your hands dirty please don't act like backing dumb dumb Justin giving the UN 10 million+ of our dollars to "distribute" to Africa is actually going to change a thing.

Hop up on dat African aid bangwagon for 15 minutes before going out for a $150 dinner and forgetting about it all.

Sorry, I think you dodged the question. How is it still fantastic news?

Reality or not, it is not fucking fantastic.

Sosodef 01-18-2017 06:24 PM

So many O'Leary haters. How come?

He seems like he is competent and he's conservative, the latter is what will give him a fighting chance.

I truly feel Harper lost because of his reputation. I would vote conservative all day.

He is also American.

Q&A with Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank?Mr. Wonderful Lives in Boston

Q&A: Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary
It turns out Mr. Wonderful lives on Marlborough Street. The ‘meanest’ shark on ABC’s hit show Shark Tank talks venture investing, the Patriots, and why Boston is his favorite place to call home.
I am surprised no one has brought up kelly leach and 22/18 letters after her name.

GLOW 01-18-2017 06:39 PM

at least he won't say "uh...." every 10 seconds when i see him on TV Kappa :troll:

The guy has/was been on THREE TV shows..his opinions rile up people like you that give videos and his shows viewership..

In a casual conversation with anyone else would anyone bat an eye at that comment?

Join the rest of the pawn viewership driving ratings on variety shows dressed up as economics for dummies.

Is this the American conservative party he's running for?? or the Canadian conservative party?? I don't think firearms is going to be a big deal in our election process... if anything it'll probably work against him in Canada if he was pro-firearm.

Tapioca 01-18-2017 10:32 PM

O'Leary will make a lot of noise, but his inability to communicate in French will hurt him.

A compromise candidate, like Andrew Scheer, will end up winning the race.

Coles notes: He's an attention whore.

underscore 01-19-2017 07:26 AM

Anybody remember this from 2011? I'm pretty sure he'd fuck over our entire country just to make a buck. People are always concerned about politicians taking money from big corporations, what do you think this guys gonna do?

Go look at the netflix tax thread for your answer.
Trudeau invented taxes and bankrupted everyone on RS.
