Canada’s prime minister tells the Guardian why, in a world where populism, divisiveness and fear are on the rise, he’s taking the opposite approach

[rktman]

I'm shocked I tell ya. Justine, say it ain't true. Hmm. Why in a world where hate and discontent is on the rise? Probably based on Trumpisims he saw on the interweb. If it's on the interweb, it must be true.....DOH! Degree from University of Dumbassistan. Progs. Can't live with them and you can't live with them.

[Mr. Douglas]

Ordinary people = peasants = us

No wonder we don’t like it. The smart ones, anyway.

Globalism always fails when socialist countries are having to complete with other communist hell holes that can basically use slave labor to crush them.

[BenLurkin]

Not to worry Justin. They will be grateful when you and your ilk increase their chocolate ration.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Hey Justin, do you know what “globalization” includes? Open borders immigration. The kind you slavishly and unquestioningly support.

“Justin Trudeau: ‘Globalisation isn’t working for ordinary people’”

Looks like someone’s popularity took a dip over the past month, and is looking to try to act like he knows what he is talking about.

This liberal will last maybe 2 years after Trump is psident.

For decades, good Canadian doctors, phds and engineers have come to America for better pay and less socialism.

That trend will increase with Trump as our president and Trudeau pushing his socialism.

“Every time I tweet ‘I am a feminist’ the twitterverse explodes.”

Because people are so incredibly sick of identity politics, as forced down our throat by progressives, that you “identifying” as some group sounds hollow, pathetic and pandering.

I’M LGBT Peminist, Black, Native Anglo-Mongolian, blah blah...

So friggin hollow.

Isn’t it odd, when those in power admit that globalization isn’t working but still push globalization?

I may be missing some key facts or concepts, but, we have been told that we are in a global economy now. And we have been told that manufacturing jobs went away due to the globalization which we are all supposed to welcome and adapt to.

Where exactly do globalization come from? Who decided that American manufacturers should go overseas? Why are we told that globalization is good for all of us collectively, even though it has hurt some of us individually?

And is globalization and open trade and open borders really a net benefit? Is the shutdown and export of American manufacturing really a net benefit, when we also measure the costs of job losses and economic decay in many rust belt communities????

It’s working great for people in developing countries. Their workers are experiencing rising wages.
This should make those preaching for “wealth equality” giddy.

If developing countries wages go up and ours go down, we’ll reach “wealth equality”. Isn’t that what they want?

... populism, divisiveness and fear.

They always associate bad words like that to populism, ironically to induce divisiveness and fear.

[mulligan]

Trudeau is a stupid elitist idiot.

[catnipman]

By “ordinary people”, I assume Justin means “the peasants”.

[fella]

Globalism is government;

By the elites

Of the elites

And for the elites

By the way Trudeau is one of those elites.

The goal of globalism is the establishment of a worldwide hereditary aristocracy and of pushing mere citizens back down into the slavery from which they arose since 1775.

All the more reason to ram this down the peasants throats. The peasants won't vote for globalism any longer.

I have been on a “globalism watch” since I read about the process some thirty years ago. It was NEVER about the good of ordinary people. Globalization is ONLY about protecting the interests and comfort of the most wealthy people around the world, at the expense of everyone else. There is a lot of documentation regarding this effort. I originally assumed the information was pure bunk; however, everything developed exactly as outlined in those texts.

[SMARTY]

He’s just like “O” because he never misses a chance to demonstrate what a complete moron he is.

[RayChuang88]

Justin Trudeau is boxing himself into a corner. What happens when all those new business regulations and taxes hammer the Canadian economy about one year from now, while the US economy booms thanks to Trump passing new tax laws and lower business regulations? If the Canadian economy goes into recession, the risk of a no-confidence vote to dump him increases dramatically.

I cracked up last night when Tucker Carlson had a guy on his show advocating for California leaving the union. Carlson more or less said well is California going to become Norte Mexico? I was there recently and it looks like it already happened. The guys response was...no we will not have wide open borders. lol Talk about irony.
