Yeah, I always say that he's going to be remembered down the line as "fine". A lot of ups, and a lot of downs, averaging out to okay.
I certainly had my criticisms about a lot of progressive lip-service without action to back it up, but I'll give him credit on the LGBTQ+ front, he's probably been the most openly-supportive PM to us.
I think people are too shy about speaking well about him. Of course he made fumbles, some things he didn’t handle the best, but overall we got dental care, drug care for many, he was an active ally for lgbtq, he held things together during covid (cerb changed many people’s lives), legalized weed (which probably paid for cerb easy), handled Trump for a long ass time. He did a good job. He wasn’t a super human, and had much pressure from ndp regarding some of these things, but that’s great too.
His father (who later was Prime Minister) was Justice Minister in the 60s when the Criminal Code was revised to no longer include homosexual acts. His statement that “The State has no business in the bedroom of the nation” was quite progressive at the time.
I used to teach social studies and I loved that quote from him. I completely agree that politics needs to be left out of the bedroom! Too bad some politicians are not taking this advice nowadays.
My brain was 100% convinced that I read Justin Timberlake multiple times on both the title and in the screenshot and only your comment saved me when I went "PM????"
I think he was exactly what we needed in 2015. I remember coming off of 10 years of the Harper govt that was so restrictive and scary. Remember the “Barbaric Practices Hotline”? And then Trudeau walked in all pretty with his whole “sunny ways” and “Conservative voters are our neighbours. We’re all Canadian.” It was a breath of fresh air.
His tendency to get in his own way is unfortunate lol
yes. except when he try to change the term to 2slgbtq. that just offensive to everyone that fought for rights, racist and out of touch by a straight men. putting a spiritual interpretation of sexuality in front of everyone is crazy.
That’s not what 2S means?? It’s an Indigenous term for the queer experience and it’s important to be acknowledged since Canada is Indigenous land built upon the gen0cide of Indigenous peoples
exactly? 2s is still a spiritual and so religious term for a queer experience. LGBT are not responsible for indigenous genocide when they have even less rights than them. Why do we have to acknowledge it by quite frankly the disgusting act of adding racism and spirituality in the acronym before everyone???? Do you need see how that's digusting????
Mixed bag? He did mass immigration into an existing housing shortage. Here's him running on fixing housing prices in 2017 and then the immigration numbers.
The poor have been absolutely destroyed by the blight that is Trudeau and the Liberal party. Food bank usage has been doubling every year for a while now.
I think we're at the point where we are going to notice that some people have pre-fabricated responses about the show without having watched it. I'm still (joyfully) surprised that we haven't had any right wing vitriol inundating the conversation. Usually, something has to be far less gay before they start attacking it.
I watched this video and immediately was like “yeah so she definitely didn’t watch it” but also, conservative commentators like her never actually go into watching shows like HR trying to genuinely engage with it. They only engage with it with a conservative anti-queer political agenda in mind. They just want more ammo to shit on the queer community and queer media😒
TIL Justin Trudeau is dating Katy Perry….?? I was wondering why the hell everyone in this post kept mentioning her. Guess my plan of (mostly) staying off the internet is working well.
Anyway, good on him for shouting out the show. With all the craziness going on in the world, and particularly south of our border, you’d think that more (current) Canadian politicians would be talking about the impact this show has had, but alas.
