Cereberus Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 my first thought would be nepotism too but dmog makes a very good point. there will be enough time to judge him based on his new administration. don't agree with one of his first decisions to pull out canadas involvement fighting against ISIS, is a big mistake if he thinks the world can leave ISIS alone and the problem of extremism propagating in that region will just go away..... but then again i'm not a soldier, so who am i to tell others put their lives on the line (but at least i'm not as shameless as cheney who sends people off to die for profit thx to the military industrial complex). i merely opinion that there will be bigger problems if you let ISIS to establish a foothold.... down the road....still beats harper's administration that is anti science and just shuts them up when the facts don't go their way.whats amazing is Canada does not have term limits o-o; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
