We were complicit in letting people bully trudeau out of office. But honestly how could any Canadian with half a brain not see that the liberals led by Mark Carney is the best choice for us in this Turbulent time. I could never see the Conservatives showcasing their values like this, it just screams Canada

    Pierre Elliott Trudeau stabbed Québec in the back so many times. He was not a unifying PM at all. He pissed Québec off something fierce. He even got so far as imposing martial law in Québec at some point.

    He did some good things for Canada, sure. But he was in no way a unifying PM.

      Yeah, it was called the October crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Crisis?wprov=sfla1

      And even the premier of Quebec approved of Trudeau using the act AND the mayor of Montreal. He had that fucking stones to tell thos piece of shit terrorists, and anyone who idolizes them, that we won’t let that shit fly here.

      He LITERALLY helped crate our charter of rights and freedoms, and made us entirely seperate politically from England. How in the fuck is he not unifying? How did he stab Quebec in the back? For creating our constitution? For making our country have two official Languages of English and French? Is that stabbing Quebec in the back? Lol

        I’m not denying he did some great things for Canada. But he was still controversial amongst the québécois.

        Also, one’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. It’s all a matter of perspective.

      I don’t know about “stabbing in the back”. One thing to remember is that PET was Québécois himself. He just happened to have a different vision for Québec than René Lévesque. I do lean towards the validity of the sovereignty arguments myself but I can’t not acknowledge that fédéralisme has deep roots in Québécois society just as well.
