      Fuck Justin Trudeau!

      I think Alberta is fucked up, but the sense of entitlement this guy displays is astonishing. Keep it in Quebec, asshole!

      He's also A-OK with Kinder-Morgan, believes Canada has to diversify it's energy exports, yet -somehow - is still is against the Enbridge proposal in it's - what did he call it? - "current form," and he thinks CO2 emissions are a problem.

      What the fuck!?

      Do we need more dynasties in politics? Do we need another self-righteous, spoiled child of an Eastern politician treating BC like it's a fucking doormat?

      Aaaaargh! The guy's giving me an axe to grind! An axe I tells ya! POST COMMENT!

      What about Harper’s ideology, or others before him? Political leadership is selling all of our Canadian resources; is this not a crime? Isn’t ignoring climate change a crime? Many politicians have come and gone, and guess what they were not leaders, they were political businesses.

      What Justin says is that the only ideology that must guide us is evidence. Think of what he says and ignore the words he uses...

      Haven’t we all heard of the power or investigation, analysis, research, surveys, searches, examinations, study and science? It seems that millions are spent every year by our governments.

      These all provide us with actual facts, evidence, scientific date... were it not for such inquiring minds, where would we stand in Science, History, let alone our humanitarian evolution.

      The truth is that we have been provided with actual facts, which of course is , just as DNA Evidence r provide us with proof that the banking and political worlds are and have been manipulation our government systems for the benefits of those empowered in the world of politics and banking.

      Maybe you should put your mouth to good use and start concerning yourself with the real life issues that we face and our children will face in the future.

      Look at what has already transpired around the world during the first decade of this century! Now, tell me if we should live our well-being into the hands of these political businessmen? As for me, I am sixty years old and I will definitely support Justin Trudeau because it is time for us to seek people leadership instead of political leadership

      OUT with the OLD cause its time for YOUNG BLOOD- after all it is their tomorrow! Yesteryears political and banking worlds have done enough of a mess, don’t you think so, I guess we just continue to starve people to death or blow them away...????
