I would encourage you all to delve deeper into this at your leisure to see what is really happening beyond the facade that the sensationalist Media and frothing Conservatives are spinning.
No different than the treatment of the Conservatives from sensationalized media, right?
That said, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that our beloved leader has been lying, which is why he would never answer the question if he knew of the PMO calling the AG to not go after SNC-Lavalin. His response, and those in his tight knit group, would only respond "It's about jobs."
I just realized though that Trudeau worshippers are no different that Trump worshippers. The both have an extremist following, Trudeau from the left, and Trump from the right.
The reality is that there is no facade here, there is no sensationalism here. When the Toronto Star is pointing these things out, who are defenders of all things left, you know you have problems. Trudeau promised us transparency and honesty, and Canadians have gotten neither from him.
Don't fall into the trap of false equality.
Yes, there are extremists on the left. They do not run the media, nor do they end up elected to the highest office, as is certainly the case in the US, I've seen this justified with false rhetoric all the time "a Hillary supporter said that capitalists are murderers, so it's okay for me to actually vote for a man who says Mexians are rapists, because both sides are equal". Canada is not quite in the same state politically, but I believe I have been seeing the same kind of false equivalences being used.
While I have no love for Trudeau, he is not the equivalent of Trump, or Ford, or even Scheer at this point, even if some of his supporters are equally fanatical.
