The New York Times podcast had a pretty interesting story on him yesterday. He's actually quite articulate and smart if you look at what he did to get to his PM role but just puts on this dumb concept with his physical appearance.

People that get into these positions aren’t dumb. No offense but Trump is probably far more intelligent than most of us.
The problem with politics is there is no middle ground anymore and sides are so polarizing that people can’t even fathom changing their opinion let alone listening to reason and it’s jist getting worse.
Canada in typical Canadian fashion is the vanilla version of it. You have a “good” leader in Harper who is the stereotypical conservative leader, good economically, tough socially, let’s other issues sort themselves out
Then people get tired of that, and want change for no other reason than change
Vote in the most stereotypical left wing leader in Turdeau, terrible economically, couldn’t be softer socially, and then dedicates his term to this jumbled mess of cultural issues in reconciliation etc.
North American politics and pretty much the whole western world are all the same

He likely wouldn't be in a popular election... but he was just being elected from within his own party to take over the role as leader after May's departure. This was very much expected... unfortunately.

With Boris Johnson "leading" the UK, I honestly can't imagine how anything good could come out of it due to his hardline Brexit stance. And then when election time comes, it's gonna be him against Jeremy Corbyn, who is a hardline leftist.

I’ll say it another way, in 2013 both the USA and Canada had a virtually identical unemployment rate of 7.0%, since that time the USA has outperformed Canada by achieving a more significant reduction in unemployment.
The reason you can’t find workers on the island is because the island is full of lazy hippies.

Low unemployment in Canada is easy to do when the American economy is on fire since we rely on them. Essentially riding America's coat tails. I'd say this was more America than Trudeau. If the US were more lax on immigration, companies like Google and Microsoft wouldn't have had to open up offices up here and it would've been like another early 2000's brain drain.
What's a lot more difficult is not letting Canada get dragged down into the dumpster that America was in back in 2008. We should've been right down there with them considering how tied our economies are but we weren't.

You can't get workers out West because they can't afford to work in shithole Nanaimo at Starbucks and pay rent.
Trudeau has tanked the oil industry, which cripples local economies (and provinces), but it has supported higher export dollars, a better US economy, Saudi payments to SNC lavelin, then back to the Liberals - because F you stupid Westerners. Join the people that are easily head faked.

He's right you know!
At least that was my experience when our family had our construction business. We did the majority of our work in the lower mainland, some projects out of town like Calgary and what not.
When we had to go to the island which we did occasionally it was a nightmare to find tradesman who would show up regularly or put in a full days work. Sunny out, going boating, going fishing whatever zero fucks given. We did a few schools and a theater on the island and every time it was more economical for us to bring guys from the lower mainland, pay LOA and put them up in a hotel then it was to hire local guys and believe me we would have rather hired local.
That said the company I work for now does have a decent crew on the island but whenever they get busy past what the smallish crew can handle there we have to send them guys from our office in the Interior, Alberta or the lower mainland because generally speaking the labour force there in our industry is trash.

more like people don't want to work at a job with no prestige nowadays
you will get thousands of resume for a $14/hr bank teller job, but no response for a waiter or laborer position that pays more
Gf works at a fancy, pretty famous restaurant, they get dozen of people looking to stage (i.e. work for free) every months.
While an uncle of mine who runs a typical AYCE Japanese restaurant always complain he can't hire and keep staffs for his kitchen
There is a lot more prestige telling people you work in a well-known restaurant than some obscure restaurants...even if you are a junior in the former and a higher paid head chef in the latter

Hmmm... wouldn't more of that credit apply to Obama's presidency then? But yes, #MAGA.
I think as reasonable people we can agree that domestic policy does not impact the unemployment rate nearly as much as global macroeconomic and political circumstances.
Having said that, long term average unemployment rate of the USA is 5.75%, during the Obama era unemployment peaked at 9.9% in 2009 and dropped to 4.7% by the time Trump took over the White House in 2015.
Although the reduction in unemployment by both Obama and Trump could be viewed as "impressive", I would argue that the more impressive feat is to achieve the lowest possible unemployment rate... so long as it is sustainable... and I question whether the current 3.7% unemployment rate is sustainable.
Ultimately a "healthy" unemployment rate is likely closer to the historical average, and if the US Fed was to further increase the prime lending rate (Reducing borrowing and increasing the value of the greenback and associated exports) and Trump were to reverse course on some of the tax cuts (The ones that have resulted in record corporate profits and significant increases to federal debt)... things would probably balance out quite nicely.

1. I don't understand what the point in comparing current and past appointments would be, it would be non-sensical for me to complain about past appointments... they are no longer in government.
2. I'm not sure how someone would vote for someone based on assumptions of cabinet appointments... and I certainly didn't suggest otherwise.

3. I bring up the appointments because I believe they have performed poorly, and I believe their lack of relevant education and training is a major contributing factor to said performance.
Depending on the way a PM runs things cabinet ministers don't make policy they execute the P.M's plans. When harper was P.M. everyone knew he and his advisers called the shots and he and is staff spoon feed answers to his ministers. That's why his ministers would repeat the same answer no matter what the question and you had a high school grad as the minister of health.
Also look at the official oppositions shadow cabinet that will give you a good idea on who they will have for ministers if elected.

Did I tell you about the time I'm going to score the winning goal in a major sporting event? It's going to be great.
This is another deal that's never going to happen. Even if some time of deal does happen how is that going to help all the farmers he put on welfare? 16 Billion in farm subsidies because he tried to get tough with China. China just signed a deal with Russia for soy and wheat. Something they use to buy from the US.

Not to their friends/supporters lol
Though the same could be said for every political party/group... they are all crooks committing the same crimes, it's only the fine details of the crimes that differ.

Maybe I’m wrong, but what exactly does the UK export? I thought over the last 50 years they’ve become exclusively a country of importing goods? Other than some classic Welsh cheese. A deal with the US would be great for them, something like nafta or wtv with really low tariffs. Good for export for US and maybe cost of goods would go down for the UK
