PM Justin Trudeau On "Canada's Trump" And The Rise Of Far-Right Xenophobia In Canada

[@kmacgregor6361]

@figeon It's not affordability they're talking about. As far as I can see the Conservatives have no plans at all to do anything about affordability. The "extreme" they're talking about is the crazy conspiracy theories, "the government is using chemicals from planes for mind control! They're injecting us with microchips to track our every move! They're forcing sex change operations on children! They want to convert us all to Islam and implement Sharia law!" That's what right-wing extremists keep spouting. It's nothing to do with affordability. Right wing politicians don't care about that. Their job is to protect the rich from evil socialist schemes that siphon away their wealth to help the poor and middle class.

[@Dudefromtoronto]

@@isabellacarter2863no it’s not on him and you clearly know nothing about Canada. The average price of a home has gone from 250000 to a million under 8 years of Trudeau. The cost of living crisis is worse in Canada than California. This lucky golden boy born into insane generational wealth has no right to preach about fighting for a common person. His grandfather founded the largest gas station chain in Canada called petro Canada. He was a millionaire before he ever had a job.

If you're looking for price and rent controls, I'm not sure the NDP will get into power anytime soon, but they'd probably be your best bet.

Personally if I were you I'd probably move to a more affordable area and improve my skillset for a better job.

The Canadian situation seems very similar to the Australian scene at the moment. Both commonwealth countries. Both navigating a housing crisis and increased costs of living. The truth, as I see it, is that profiteering from big supermarket chains,social media companies, real estate, big pharma and more has run unchecked for decades. That’s where regulation can play a strong part. Lots to solve and massive cultural shifts in terms of multinationals and TAX AVOIDANCE by those entities to be addressed. Edited after a day and 93 comments: If this helps, I am rewatching Canada’s drag race. Moose knuckle.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Justin's government doubling our debt in less than a decade. Or the fact that they brought in more people than our housing supply can handle. 😉

[@trouble820]

Corporate greed is one thing but government greed and incompetence is a greater threat. The government pays it's select corporate friends and consultants with middle class taxpayer income and accomplishes nothing. Government incompetence, Canada literally doubled its debt while it's economy shrank. Combined with mass immigration. Trudeau care about foreigners over his own people. Canada isn't the world. We can't save the world. Trudeau thinks otherwise.

[@andalilbitqueer]

What's funny about Trudeau's situation is that it was entirely avoidable had he kept his 2015 campaign promise to enact electoral reform. It will be very interesting to watch their election next year to see if he'll even be opposition leader, or if the NDP will retake it's place as the left's party in Canadian politics.

[@silentnode946]

Justin Trudeau has kept more campaign promises than any other prime minister in Canada in almost 50 years. And electoral reform takes years to establish.

I'm not, nor was I saying, that electoral reform would be the Liberal party or any country's saving grace, but Trudeau's duplicitous decision to renege on his campaign position was selfish and short-sighted and will ultimately be the reason the Conservatives is on track to gain a huge majority come next election.

The first-past-the-post system makes a mockery of democracy. Trudeau’s election promise to change the electoral process was the main reason for a lot of the support he received. He lied. Sadly, a lying Trudeau is better than his Trump wannabe opponent. A true Canadian cluster f¥¢k.

It sounds like you're just using correlation (these things have happened during the time that Trudeau also happened to be the leader) and assuming that there's a causal link, but you don't have any reason to believe there's an actual cause and effect here. In fact there's plenty of evidence it's not cause and effect - like the fact that inflation and cost of living increases are happening globally, not just in Canada, so it's pretty unlikely that Canada's PM is causing this worldwide phenomenon. We're just a little country. As for doctor shortages, I think there are a lot of reasons that fewer people are going into family medicine and that there is not as much physician time available for patients as needed, but again, I don't think there is some government policy you can point to and say it's to blame... ?

[@lucasprovencher8602]

"Slightly more positive on the macro level" = Canadians have gotten significantly poorer per capita over the last ten years. Our GDP is isn't a holistic representation of our economic health. Rather it is the result of a massive increase in both permanent residents and temporary foreign workers whom, through no fault of their own, have stretched the limits of our housing supply, job market, health care system, and civic infrastructure extremely thin. Canadians have historically been uniquely pro-immigration. Our land mass is huge and our population is comparatively small. But to invite a half a million permanent residents and another half a million non-permanent residents into the country year over year without making the proper investments is how you till nativism. "We lost a little ground over the past decade on building housing." Canadians, on average, are unimpressed when Mr. Poilievre gets personal and starts speaking in alliteration during Question Period. But statements like this are why, on average, we don't mind all that much.

@@RaeThomas-hh5gv yep! Canada it’s not much, if you even qualify. There are federal and provincial benefits, which have different rules.

I’m not disabled enough for federal benefits though, because dynamic disabilities basically don’t count. I think last time I checked, I can only make like $12,000/year before I would get my disability cut off. So even working part-time doesn’t make any sense because the amount of physio and whatnot I’d need wouldn’t make it worth it, and you only get extended medical when you work full-time.

We have a relatively small population, and not enough infrastructure to take in huge numbers of refuges. There are also different areas of the world that people are immigrating from which don't share our standards, culture, or values. For example, we let in more than half a million immigrants last year, many of whom are from India and third world countries in the middle east. Some of these immigrants engage in Punjabi gangs, auto theft rings in the GTA and so on. There was a case recently of a terrorist who was let into Canada and granted a Canadian citizenship even after it was known how dangerous he was.

That interview seemed so awkward to me, but maybe that's me projecting. It felt like Trudeau forgot he was at a comedy show and just kinda said what he wanted. As a Canadian, I wish this interview hadn't happened, it feels embarrassing how passive-aggressive the PM was acting and he really struggled to adhere to the show’s format. I feel like you need to know enough about the government the politician your guest is a part of to prevent being steamrolled like it seemed Stephen was. I guess if anything good came of that interview, it’s that the apparent lack of chemistry between the two will hopefully mean Trudeau won’t be back any time soon. I’d love if there was more coverage of Canada in late-night comedy, but I think this shows how important it is to have some familiarity with a topic when you’re speaking to a politician, because I don’t generally notice American politicians just coming to say whatever they want, and I think that’s because they know the audience and the host has context that wasn’t here today. This isn’t the first late-night show I’ve seen talk about Canada without the necessary context, but I wish it would be the last. I won’t lie, there are definitely some moments in that interview that I’m pleased with from Trudeau, but generally speaking, I don't think this interview was of the same quality as most of the others on this show.

This man brags of universal health care as if it’s actually working here. So many hospitals in major cities are experiencing overcrowding and are unable to treat patients. Most Canadians that were born in this country have no doctor. They go to walk in clinics and wait hours for check ups. People with serious medical issues are being diagnosed late due to the months it takes for an appointment to get tested. The late diagnosis means less chance of survival, or returning to a full state of health. This country has changed so much as I’ve grown up here.
