Trudeau has no history or experience to even really gauge who he is. He is a pretty face and a famous Canadian name.I feel for you with Trudeau as your leader. Expect the constant undermining of Christianity to gather pace while Justin pretends to explode in laughter, flashing his pearly whites for the cameras. What an empty vessel he is. Harper seemed like a political genius compared to the vacuous, shallow drip
To the extent that ordinary Canadians were disaffected with Harper’s government, why was that the case in your opinion?Trudeau has no history or experience to even really gauge who he is. He is a pretty face and a famous Canadian name.
The best case scenario is that he will be no deeper than his pearly whites.
Harper was a very nice reprieve from Liberal rule.
One of the reasons that I don’t much follow Canadian politics any more is because the nation as a whole votes Liberal by default.To the extent that ordinary Canadians were disaffected with Harper’s government, why was that the case in your opinion?
I was in Rome recently on a holiday, I did not notice many Muslims there at all. In fact the ethnic makeup apparent in Rome did not look much different from when I last was there, 25 years ago. There really is a lot of nonsense said about Europe (the ‘no go’ areas of London where sharia law is in force tops the list there). People ought to get out more rather than be taken in by scaremongering, it us not helping to make you safe.I once heard an “Orthodox” or “Traditional” type of RC Priest talk about Rome and Italy that he had recently visited and talk about how many Muslims there were and that was back in about 2003; now look at things.
I live in the London area, I’ve never experienced it. I also work in an area that has a high percentage of Muslims (and Sikhs) and I’ve never experienced it there (the high numbers of Muslims in this area is not a new thing and has gone back decades).Sharia zones, No. Areas where non-Muslims occasionally face hostility and harassment ? I’ve heard it from quite a few people for some time.
Now, pictures of the Bullring in Birmingham were found on the phone of one of the terrorists in Paris.**Terror group: Birmingham is a top recruiting ground **

At the same time, it is no secret that there has been a lot of strife if not rioting in Italy in the past several years about migrants coming in.I was in Rome recently on a holiday, I did not notice many Muslims there at all.

It’s hardly as if Geert Wilders is an American, it’s hardly as if conservative parties do not exist in Europe.**

Appeal to authority, personal experience.Well it seems that people who do not live in the London area seem to know more about London than those of us who do. I’ve never been to the USA, but maybe I should start to tell people from the USA what life is like there.
Rest assured that when I go in to central London tomorrow, for Confession in the Brompton Oratory, I will steel myself for the barrage of abuse I will be subjected to by Muslims as I pass through the notorious ‘no-go’ sharia zones.
But honestly, it is a bit rich when people who live on the other side of the world from me, tell me what life is like in my own city. Maybe I ought to start informing New-Yorkers about what life is like in New York, because living there they are clearly blind to the reality of what is going on all around them, and I (who have never been to New York) am in a position to see what is really happening there because I read about it online or heard a politician from my country talk about it.
Never let reality get in the way of a political narrative.
There is a kind of hush“Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” he said in a statement.

If that turns out to be the choice you have in the end, then God help you all.I’m betting on peace and quiet while Trump and Hillary duel it out. Then I will answer the poll
When I lived in DC in the 1980s, it was known as the murder capital of the world. Over 400 people a year died there, usually of gunshots, and another 1200 were injured as part of the fallout or bad aim.Well it seems that people who do not live in the London area seem to know more about London than those of us who do.
