Turdo was an anti-English language bigot and a racist.
Quebec and french Canadian style democracy in action = Bigotry, racism,ethnic cleansing a la bill 22, bill 178, bill 101...That's what bilingualism and Quebec stand for.Pure anti-English language hatred and bigotry for anything that's not french.Hurry up and separate bigots and make sure you take all the french bigots in Ottawa with you!
Spin, lies, BS...how about the ugly truth about what's been going on in Quebec and Canada for decades now???Go check out these videos-This Video is Banned in Quebec 1 of 2, or This Video is Banned in Quebec 2 of 2, or Language discrimination. Enjoy
It's kind of sad that a grown man (Prime Minister or not) saying "fuck off" to a person who is annoying him (and part of the opposition party) ever counted as a scandal.
That is my whole point (kind of): telling someone to fuck off shouldn't even be that big of a news story. I disagree about your comment on the left, however, but I don't really feel like getting in a huge political debate on Youtube.
Which has a notwithstanding clause (s.33) enabling the government to take those rights away, if they choose.
And...a time of "anarchy?" Jesus, was there a nonhierarchical society based around free association, workers' councils, and direct democracy? (the definition of the word "anarchy" as defined by anarchists) If no, then don't call the events of 1970 as such.
Anyways, any dictatorial movement will justify its position by claiming to "restore order" in times of "anarchy."
Very nice XYZandTime. You must be so proud of your text-book definition of "Anarchy". Also, your major concerns for civil liberty were not shared by the FLQ and Trudeau's response proved well and justified. Most people critisize decisions that weren't successful, therefore the only thing that "concerns" me are actually your concerns. O_o
Canada's last true leader, and perhaps the last we'll ever have. We've only hardcore politicians these days who don't share in half the passion Trudeau had for Canada. Without him we'd probably still be without a Charter of Rights and Freedoms and Constitution of our own.
I remember when he was first running for Liberal leadership he said something I've never heard another politician say before or since. When asked how much he wanted to be PM he said "Not that much". No doubt critics even today would be all over that, but what he was really saying is that he didn't want to be in it just for himself. He believed the leader should have Canada's interests at heart and he felt he could do a good job at it.
Pirouetting behind the Queen, saying weird and yet swell statements, and being charismatic. Like Rick Mercer! Hey! Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking?
Good question. One of the politicos I spoke to mentioned that Harper's placid style is what Canadians accept. Personally, I'd prefer a drunkard who actually looks like he cares about his people.
Bring on the corpse of Boris Yeltsin!!! YAAAA!!! :)
The reason most politicians are the way they are is because of the political correctness religion that has been adopted by most of the West. Politicians give the "tough decisions" to courts and judges so the politicians can point the finger at them for bad judgement is the media and people get mad. It's called passing the blame and trying to stay "clean" F-ing disgusting. :(
Just like to say, as a non-Canadian and indeed non-American, whatever else about this piece of footage, it shows that Canadian politics were once really fun.
Lincoln Alexander is one of the greatest Canadians who ever lived. Who's this f!@kin redneck dissin' him? Obviously a nobody, a fat white loser using the internet as a social life! Nobody cares about you, retard. If you died tomorrow, nobody would notice. So go do it.

What is especially galling is that the Negro in question is given a platform to voice HIS displeasure. Good Lord, boy, look at yourself, look at your people (Canadian or otherwise)! You've gained nothing in the face of all that has been offered you..... An entire race squandered, what a dirty shame, a dirty shame indeed.
LOOK HERE YOU SHITKICKING REDNECK!!!! When this 'negro' was an MP your daddy was probably lynching black people. You should be ashamed of yourself. You are a disgrace to us white people and a disgrace to America!!!!!!!!
The black community has been awarded far more liberites in the past 30 years than any other race or ethnic group. They fought long nad hard for their civil rights, and for the most part, what have they done with them?
50 years ago a black man out after dark would have been hung by a white man. 50 years later a black man gets killed by another black man. They protested for years to be "free" and now that they are, they act as though they belong in a cage. Disagree with me? Watch the 6 o clock news, it proves me right 365 days a year.
Interestingly enough.. something similar was discussed recently. What sells more papers? A person of color committing violence or a Caucasian? Hmmm....
I am a white Canadian, born and raised here. So, the basis for your comment is now moot. We let all the shit of the day into this country and they rob us blind. Bilking the system for millions and terrorizing hard working law abiding citizens with their crime and violence. I have no issue with Mr. Alexander. He was an upstanding man. My issue is with the immigrant of today, whos mandate is to take over, and exterminate all Christian and Canadian values.
What does this comment have to do with this video clip? If your commenting on the African-Canadian guy in this clip; he a lawyer and a distingused politician.
The 6 o'clock news as you put it, is nothing but sensationalist bullshit. It is a sign that there is still racial tension in your country, and that the african community is being targeted and demonised. It's not so easy to reverse hundreds of years of oppression and disenfranchisement as you expect it.
Lincoln Alexander is a distinguished lawyer, a former federal cabinet minister, a former Lieutenant Governor (representative of the Queen) of Ontario, and has been honoured by his home town of Hamilton with a freeway. I know you're American, but Canada isn't the United States.
Wow, your quite the bigot. Although, I am stanch supporter of Trudeau I must rebut this ignorant, illiterate, 43F01. Firstly, his name is Lincoln Alexander one of Canada's most distinguished politican and lawyer. Secondly, onone gave him the platform to voice he earned it, dumbass.
it was primarily a random post... im not a seperatist but a Quebec culture enthousiast. That is all...I don't have a political oppinion, but personally I did not like Trudeau..
I see most politicians hide behind their positions of power and act like they're so innocent and above every common man in the country. In response to this, who cares what he "mouthed". if he said fuck off so be it, im pretty sure that man who is "offended" most likely have the same thoughts as well. The problem with politics these days is that no matter what you do, you will never please the entire population. As seen by the responses on this video.
King of the liars, author of the Charter of Wrongs, the ruination of Canada, papa of all patronage. What does mouth mean? It's what you used so often, Pierre.
God, you seperatists are a bunch of pricks. What are you guys so sensitive about? You think the world's out to get you and destroy your culture, when in fact nobody gives a flying fuck whether or not you assimilate. There was a reason France and the rest of the free world refused to grant assylum to those FLQ fags.
Finally, a precise image of our "messiah" Pierre Elliot Trudeau. When one thinks of him, it becomes clear how it is that people can be fooled by a demagogue, and elect a despot like Hitler.
@CanuckProductions Yes. There is not much difference between the two of them. Trudeau was a socialist and so was Hitler. The former was an international socialist and the later a national socialist. Trudeau did everything that he could to turn Canada into a totalitarian dictatorship, for example he took the treasury out of the parliament and placed it inside his Liberal caucus. He attended the Communist International or Commintern, at least once, in 1952, which was hosted by Joseph Stalin.
Trudeau was a great man. He made mistakes and nobody will satisfy everybody. But his polling numbers speak for themselves. You're probably a seperatist which is why you despise him.
Haha. That last bit is a riot. I'm too young to remember times like these when politicians spoke without an aide feeding their every word. I wish it were more like this today.
