Oh Trudeau seems to be backing off on electoral reform.  Said something about how it wasn't as necessary now that the Liberals are in power and people like him. :rolleyes:

But I can't complain too much when he's doing the right thing, which is breaking his election promise.

Hey, it's 2016!

Election Reform was so 2015.

The Canadian people are so happy with our new government that Trudeau no longer feels the desire for change from the Canadian population now that is in power.  The people are so happy under his benevolent rule that everything is perfect now :)

And people voted for this moron...

I wish he would change the Constitution to make it so he can be leader for life.  :(
they don't need such drastic measures.  they have illegal financing at their disposal and the nearly unlimited government budget to make sure they never lack money to fill their coffers.  They did it for 12 years before they got caught the last time, so it's a good average.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Well if they do it for 12 years, I'll be just over 60 or so and ready to retire. At that point, I'll vote Conservative because I wouldn't want the government taxing my pension.

By any chance, did you grab one of these 1500$ ticket for a meeting with our finance minister?  I would have love to hear what he had to say :)

well, the Liberal Party is a people's party, they even abolished the required 5$ to hold a membership card.  I figured, being such a benevolent party, with the interest of all Canadians in minds, they would pick a figure that is affordable to most Canadians.  I thought it was pure coincidence that a poor Quebecer like me would be excluded from such meeting, on the basis of being, well, being from Quebec and being poor. :)

See I was right on the spot :)
Citizenship removed for fraudulent case?  Doesn't apply to organize crime :)
Michel Torre avoids deportation, strikes a deal for 2 more years in Canada

He was born in Italy, came to live in Quebec during his teens.  He worked for the Cotroni family, was eventually sentenced for drug trafficking.  Canada has been trying to deport him since 2013 for his criminality, but now the Trudeau government is gonna legalize his situation on "humanitarian grounds".  Yeah right.  Liberals and mafia, always there to support one another :)

Expect more cases like that to surface as the journalists finally start digging.

Is Viper so self-aware that this is a joke, or so all-consuming in his Liberal hatred that he can't see the obvious humour? :unsure: :lol:
