O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land, glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee;
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada! Where pines and maples grow,
Great prairies spread and Lordly rivers flow!
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western sea!
The land of hope for all who toil,
The true North strong and free!
God keep our land, glorious and free.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies,
May Stalwart sons, and gentle maidens rise.
To keep thee steadfast thro’ the years,
From East to Western sea.
Our own beloved native land,
Our true North strong and free!
God keep our land, glorious and free.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our Dominion, in thy loving care.
Help us to find, O God, in thee,
A lasting rich reward.
As waiting for the better day,
We ever stand on guard.
God keep our land, glorious and free.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

canada sucks
what’s it like having trudeau as a leader
Pretty great actually.
61% approval rating
21% of people used to put terrorism as their top 2 issues of concern. Now it’s down to 9%. Getting rid of tories was best thing to happen. Even if it’s all Justin’ Illusion™
We didn’t have a positive news story in a decade. Now its peachy everyday. Reversing Harpers damage, helping refugees in need, legalizing marijuana, a prime minister who actually engages with the public and lets his staff talk to the media.
interesting. I’ve only heard bad things about him.
like his 50/50 male female cabinet “because it’s [current year]”
and le feminist meme

good luck anyway
You only hear bad from conservatives, who are a loud minority.
Some clarification: The gender equal cabinet was to spark change, to show he is going to do things differently. The whole argument about it being merit based was put to sleep considering this is the most qualified cabinet anyone has seen. In the past it was always about repaying political favours, only entitled rich old white men got the positions. Now we got a qualified team who looks like Canada. Its also worth noting that for elected MP’s in liberal party, it was about 50/50 male female.
Only about 10 positions are actually important roles, 7 of which are male.
What he says about feminism is not bad. He is not a feminazi. He has not said anything radical. The full davos feminism talk was with melinda gates etc, they were radical. Justin kept his cool the entire time. Liberals are strong supporters of rights and freedoms and equality, and thats as far as it goes.
Its easy to hate the feminist movement with all the freakshows on the interwebs today. Feminazis disgust me too. But consider this. He was asked “are you a feminist” he said yes. Is he supposed to say no? “no i dont support equal rights for women?”
Canada is a conservative and traditional society with many rural areas. He isnt looking to change the law with feminist crap. He is only taking a social stance on the matter to help shape public attitudes about women. This came at a time where aboriginal women are the biggest marginalized group in Canada.
I don’t know anything about canada politics so I can’t gauge whether or not his cabinet is good or not, but it doesn’t sound merit based if it was designed to be 50/50. just because it’s good doesn’t really justify blocking someone who is competent and would otherwise deserve the position
isn’t the red haired one from toronto? yeah I kind of think he should say something competent other than going with muhsogeny because it’s popular
Absolutely no one was blocked who was more qualified, he chose the most qualified members he had. Cabinet positions are given to elected MP’s. The selection is very limited. 50/50 of elected liberal mp’s were male and female, so the pool to choose them from was equal to begin with.
Who is better for Minister of health. A real doctor. Or someone with a bachelor of art. He went with doctor who happens to be female. Men aren’t always better.
Again I will say that only 10 positions are key cabinet positions, 7 of which are male. Positions like “Minister of Status of Women” don’t really need a man.
There was a huge campaign to get qualified women to run for office since they often don’t think they are good enough. As a result we got a huge pool of qualified women this time. Infact they were more qualified than most of the men.
I dont think quotas should be a reoccuring theme. If enough qualified women run they don’t need to be. I think trudeau has already succeeded in sparking this change.
Trudeau is enjoying massive support that hasn’t been seen by other leaders, not since his father (also called the father of modern canada) was in office. He has said plenty of competent things other than misogyny. The only people who have a problem are people who think he can magically control global oil prices (albertans/conservatives).
-Full legalization and regulation of marijuana
-Decreased income taxes
-proactive approach on isis/syria, understanding that we cant just bomb the middle east into submission
-modest growth expected on economy, after previous government had 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth
-A government who actually cares about solving climate change, previous government refused to even acknowledge it.
-Increased childcare benefits
-Protecting our rights and freedoms, ammending bill c-51
-End first-past-the-post voting system
