He and his government have gone rogue.His neoliberal policies and supporting of US imperialism is a sure sign of his sell out of Canadian independence.<br /><br />He's wrong if he thinks Canadians are not catching on to the road he is taking us down. I think they are. Sadly Trudeau is showing that he does not have the intelligence nor courage to be PM of Canada.

Trudeau has broken faith with Canadians and our country.

His judgement and instincts seem to belong to a callow youth, not a seasoned statesman, and his ego has obviously grown large since he became the darling of the international set.Lornehttp://www.politicsanditsdiscontents.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.com
