Don't really care since its Canada. Canadians may elect whomever they please its their country. I will only say this about it: Good Luck with the big government, less personal liberties and letting Jihadis into your country Snowbacks.
I don't usually change the engine in a car that is working perfectly well. There is a lesson to be learned here. Old style attack ads playing insesently on old media (TV and radio) just doesn't resonate with the younger generation. They look to any **** spewed by some blogger rehashed on their friends Facebook or whatever people get their ideas from today. It was the same way Obama got in too. And Trudeau seems to be equally qualified and experienced.
PS he always has his sleeves rolled up. Wasn't that an Obama thing too.

**** everyone named Turdeau.
And yet, he was sort of a single issue guy.
What was that issue that he got in front of a couple years ago?

He didn't win with any issue. The vote was anti Harper Conservatives. I thought he would split with the socialists but they were smarter and dumped the socialist and stuck with him.

The Liberals won 184 seats. That's a huge turnaround.

"The Liberals" up there are not what they are down here, the baby seal pup clubbing season will go on as usual.
Trudeau did say he's going to legalize weed - so that should help Canada pay for the mass migration of refugees on their way
would support the immediate processing of 25,000 Syrian refugees and a $100 million investment into helping Canada resettle and process refugees

Spike's graphic is correct. However, how far left or right the Liberals are depends on their leader. Had it been a minority government situation, Trudeau was prepared to throw in with the NDP who were promising 15 dollar a day child care for everyone.

It's the economy stupid. Canada's unemployment has steadily been moving up.
They are actually more dependent on oil than you would think. The government is
financially sound, so some deficit spending on infrastructure to bring unemployment
down was the sound policy Trudeau advocated. Canadians are smart, the status quo
was not working.

Will he drive Canada to be more European, much like Obama's tried? That's working out well. We are not far behind as more and more Liberals here in the US point to Europe as a "model of success."

They are already more liberal with high minimum wage laws and universal healthcare.
He won on his plan to increase spending on infrastructure and create jobs. With world interest rates so low, it's smart for any country to get
there infrastructure caught up when it is cheaper to do so. We should be doing the same thing.
We have sold 1.2 trillion in US treasury bonds at 0% interest. Getting infrastructure done at 0% interest is smart.

A Closer Look At Canada's New Prime Minister
In 2012, Trudeau agreed to fight a senator from the Conservative Party, Patrick Brazeau, in a televised charity boxing match. Oddsmakers made Trudeau a 3-to-1 underdog against Brazeau, who has a black belt in karate and a military background. But Trudeau bloodied his opponent and won by technical knockout.
On a political level, however, Trudeau's actions can be cause for concern. He responded to Europe's Syrian migrant crisis by proposing to take in 25,000 refugees through government sponsorship, with a $250 million investment to help resettle them. This kind of spending -- not to mention a proposal to actually run consecutive national deficits as a growth strategy -- has some Canadians understandably concerned about Trudeau negatively impacting their personal finances.
Although prone to proclamations of liberal demagoguery, Trudeau tends towards pragmatism. While constantly droning on about climate change, he nonetheless has supported Canada's Keystone XL pipeline. Trudeau reportedly told prominent Canadian environmental activist David Suzuki that his climate change views are "sanctimonious crap."
Despite criticizing Harper's politics of "fear and division" in campaign ads, Trudeau still had the sense to vote in favor of Harper's Barbaric Cultural Practices Act, which bans polygamy, honor killings and some other cultural imports that run contrary to traditional Canadian values. Trudeau also voted in favor of Harper's proposal to strengthen Canada's anti-terrorism legislation in the wake of the October 2014 shootings at Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
Still, Trudeau has denounced Canada's participation in U.S. coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State, claiming that a humanitarian role would be more suitable. No, it wouldn't be. Killing the beheaders and resolving the crisis is the priority. Trudeau isn't entirely wrong to denounce the nearly useless yearlong airstrikes, but the wise approach would be to advocate better intelligence, which has been sorely missing from coalition efforts. On the bright side, Trudeau now has newly elected MP Andrew Leslie, a former lieutenant-general and deputy commander of the NATO International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, on his team, quite possibly as the country's next minister of defense.
Trudeau shines when he listens to opposing views. With a majority government negating the need to do so, one can only hope that Trudeau remains open to constructive dissent -- if only because the resulting pragmatism has served him well. He should go out of his way to find people to argue with inside the big centrist Liberal Party tent. Unlike Harper, Trudeau has an ego that could withstand the disagreement.
Speaking of Trudeau's predecessor, all the post-election Harper-bashing is grotesque. Overall, Harper has done an admirable and competent job as prime minister. He has simply been plagued by the kind of scandals and arrogance that unfailingly take hold when a Canadian political party enjoys power for too long.
When Russian President Vladimir Putin went to shake Harper's hand at last year's G-20 retreat in Brisbane, Australia, Harper told him, "I guess I'll shake your hand but I have only one thing to say to you: You need to get out of Ukraine." Not only was it undiplomatic and rude, but it was just plain bad business. Until Obama stopped stonewalling the Keystone XL pipeline -- a long-delayed cornerstone of North American energy independence -- Harper should have insisted on maintaining a powerbroker posture in between the U.S. and Russia. I suspect that Trudeau would have handled the situation much differently.
Trudeau has mastered the art of using rhetoric to appeal to as big a swath of the political spectrum as possible, but this has caused some people to misjudge him. It's his actions that tell the true tale. So far, he seems willing to act in the best interests of the country even if a policy might be at at odds with his personal views. That's what will make Trudeau particularly interesting to watch as Canada's new prime minister.

Canada’s Justin Trudeau says he’ll cancel plans to buy the troubled F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
Justin Trudeau, the leader of Canada’s victorious Liberals and soon-to-be Prime Minister, has vowed to cancel the country’s purchase of 60 F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets from Lockheed Martin and instead focus on bolstering its Navy.
If Trudeau follows through on the promise, Canada will lose the $150 million already invested in the F-35’s development, and Lockheed would lose what would have been billions of dollars in sales to the Royal Canadian Air Force (and likely millions more on follow-on contracts for ongoing maintenance).

The Arctic will belong to Russia within 5 years.
and don't expect us to protect you, Canada
Icebreaker Gap
Russia has 40 powerful ships to clear lanes through crucial Arctic waters. America is down to 2.
Icebreakers — the ships that smash through sea ice, opening routes for other craft and rescuing trapped vessels — are increasingly important to navigating in the far north. Russia has 40 of them, including nuclear-powered craft painted an intimidating red and black.
