Read this if you think Justin Trudeau is the right man for Prime Minister: Here are two of his more bizarre comments that sound more like theyre from Elizabeth May and the Green Party, or even the Marijuana Party. Plenty of other media were there - but they chose to simply ignore their hero talking like a fool. Judge for yourself: We have to realize that the way of thinking that got us to this place no longer holds. We have to rethink elements as basic as space and time, to go all science fictiony on you in this sense. Pardon? Or this instant classic: if you were to talk to a caveman millennia upon millennia upon millennia ago. its not programmed into our gut thinking that we do have to think broader. Except this, right here, is a generation so globally aware that you get that. But really - are those goofy mental meanderings any worse than his official comments about serious subjects? Trudeau blamed the Boston bombings on terrorists who might have felt excluded and said it was our responsibility to end the tensions. He joked that Vladimir Putin would invade Ukraine, because he was upset about how Russias team did in Olympic hockey. He said Communist China was his favourite foreign country, specifically praising their basic dictatorship for its ability to make quick decisions, without all that time-wasting democracy stuff. He boasts that Quebecers are, by nature, better at running Canada than Albertans, and that Canada ought to be run for us - us being Quebecers. And dont even get started on his blathering about marijuana. He wants to decriminalize it, but he doesnt want more people to smoke it. Riiiight. Justin Trudeau sounds like who he really is, a spoiled rich kid who has spent his whole life living the life of a trust fund heir. He recently boasted to an Iranian-Canadian newspaper that he has travelled to 90 countries in his life, as a tourist. Of course he has. He inherited millions of dollars from his father, and hasnt had to work a day in his life. He dabbled a bit as a substitute teacher, but that got boring. He enrolled in an environmental degree, but quit after that got boring, too. And then, on the eve of turning 40, he decided he should settle down and get serious, and apply for his first job - being prime minister. Justin Trudeau has not inherited his fathers intelligence, and has not copied his fathers academic scholarship, or his fathers prolific intellectual exercises, from starting a magazine to being a university professor. Trudeau has none of that - but all the arrogance.
