Nothing says "classy" like flying that flag.

Good L🍁ck Trudeau! (But also, don't let the door hit you on the way out...)

But they look so good on raised, coal-rolling trucks with balls. /s

Canadian equivalent of Let's Go Bradon?

Saw a f🍁CK Trump flag in Canada the other day and had to do a double take. I don't like Trump, but I still don't like the flags.

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I believe in that case, the flag is warranted.

Not sure what Canadian would want to lick that old wrinkled nutsack though.

Trudeau will be remembered for many things

including all the conservatives that wanted to fuck him.

Many men were disappointed when arriving at the Ram Ranch to find Trudeau wasn't there.

But they made due.

This is in regards to our brethren down south, poking fun at 2nd amendmenters and their manly faΓ§ade. Seems like cons all over the globe mostly like to larp as strong men but like if you gotta hide behind a firearm, are you really manly? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

He is a thirst trap though even after ten years in office. He’s only 53 seems very young to retire. I’m curious to know what he does next. UN ambassador? Ambassador for Canada to France?

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 1 points 42 minutes ago (1 children)

Ambassador for Canada to the USA. :-D

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 minutes ago

I don’t think Trudeau is a masochist like that.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago

Just finding out I'm a raging conservative. Oh god, I need to sit down... On his lap...

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 36 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

I loved that the original attack ad they had when he was first running for Prime Minister was that he was too young and handsome to be a leader.

I'm embarrassed they latched onto his hair. And now, all they can say is 'carbon tax', like we're all rich enough where it's a tax and not a benefit.

[–] Isaac@waterloolemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Used to have nice hair, still does, but used to too.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

I like it a bit wilder.

[–] BenVimes@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'll also always remember how the Liberals pulled a judo-reverse on the Conservatives by turning their main line of attack back against them. I knew from the moment I saw that ad with Trudeau on the escalator that the Liberals would win.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

Oh, do you have a link? I'm not Canadian but that sounds interesting.

E: Nvm found it.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

found it.

Ah. YOW. Know it well.

[–] BenVimes@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

That's the one.

I don't know if my memory of that era comports with actual history, but this is how I remember it playing out:

It looked like the Conservative attack ads were going to win the election for them again, just as they had against Dion and Ignatieff. They were ahead and gaining in the polls, and the Liberals seemed to have no response. The slogan was, "Trudeau: he's just not ready."

Then the polls stabilized for a few days, and the Liberals released that ad. The polls started rapidly reversing, and the Liberals decisively swept into power. I don't think I even saw another, "he's not ready," attack ad from the Conservatives again after that.

EDIT: One can debate how much of an effect that ad had, and whether Trudeau's actions matched it's promises, but for me it will always stick out as a good bit of political strategy.

I guess that's why the cons dumped o toole he had no hair

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 hours ago

In hindsight he was the best leader they had in a long time

But the Cons are kind of like the scorpion and the frog and I did not trust them one bit.

Most of the flags around here have already been swapped for "Fuck Trump".

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 2 points 36 minutes ago* (last edited 35 minutes ago)

I'm honestly shocked that nobody's made one saying "Trudeau f🍁cked Mrs Trump" or somesuch.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 hours ago

Glad to see civil discourse making a come back.
