Justin Trudeau just another empty head with a pretty face?
It’s disheartening but 53% of people in a Guardian poll think Justin Trudeau would make a great leader.
Please. I want him to. (10%)
No. Too much baggage (25%)
Yes, he certainly will, and he will be credible in his own right (53%)
Gorgeous, but not national leadership material (11%)
It’s really scary that 53% of the population want a leader because his father was a powerful and sometimes visionary political leader. Pierre Trudeau’s talent was only partly genetic. He could transfer the rest of what made him Trudeau because sons never become their fathers. Those that try are very disappointed and unhappy men. Fathers who want to make their sons in their image create lots of work for psychiatrists.
Oh my God! It’s exactly what we did on PEI. We thought Robert Ghiz, the handsome son of Premier Joe Ghiz, would be a great premier. What a mistake that has proved to be.
It’s like the guy or gal who keeps going for the best looking dates only to find them self-centered, cruel and empty headed. As soon as one beautiful person takes their money and dumps them, they head out to the bars looking for Mr. or Ms. Beautiful/Wonderful again.
Sigh.
Richard Brown Big Lies
Poor Richard, defending the indefensible with one Big Lie after another.
“PNP’s helped small business on PEI.” – one of his favourites.
Our research says about 15% of the money went into legitimate business. The remainder went into numbered accounts set up just for the Immigrant Scam. Read the rest of this entry »
PNP ‘bonus’ raises more questions
Editor – hush money it is indeed! At the Public Accounts Committee, Jim Bagnall Conservative accused Richard Brown’s Dubai team of double charging – yes $5,000 dollars – for the interview. Richard huffed and puffed and then let out his Freudian slip “criminals” – me thinks thou doest protest to much my Richard. – Stephen Pate

Innovation Minister Richard Brown calls payments of up to $20,000 to employees of Island Investment Development Inc. bonuses for overtime required processing more than 1,800 immigrant applications.
That is a gentle description.
A not so gentle description could be the Ghiz government created a head tax with the proceeds going to employees of the crown agency.
And a description for the truly skeptical might label the bonuses hush money aimed at keeping the civil service from spilling all the gory details of the Provincial Nominee Program.
