Nothing says "classy" like flying that flag.
Good Lπck Trudeau! (But also, don't let the door hit you on the way out...)
Trudeau will be remembered for many things
including all the conservatives that wanted to fuck him.

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.
Nice hair, though
I guess that's why the cons dumped o toole he had no hair
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.
He DID have nice hair.
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.
I've met plenty of people who weren't rich enough who were still certain it was a tax and not a benefit.
Used to have nice hair, still does, but used to too.
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.
Oh, do you have a link? I'm not Canadian but that sounds interesting.
E: Nvm found it.
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.

Just finding out I'm a raging conservative. Oh god, I need to sit down... On his lap...
And for letting us down on proportional representation: !fairvote@lemmy.ca
That was defintely the beginning of the end for Trudeau. And lost him all the young voters.

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? π€·ββοΈ

He is a thirst trap though even after ten years in office. Heβs only 53 seems very young to retire. Iβm curious to know what he does next. UN ambassador? Ambassador for Canada to France?
I hope we keep him around as Chief Toddler Wrangler every time Trump comes sniffing around.
I'm not a big Trudeau fan but he's amazing at dealing with that creep. Remember the handshake during Trump's first term?

That's how I read those signs. That Bubba in the truck had a boner for Justin.
My response to those truck flags was always "Gay and proud. YES! You go girl!"
Most of the flags around here have already been swapped for "Fuck Trump".
Glad to see civil discourse making a come back.

But it was nice seeing so much NDP support! There's no way these people were supporting conservatives, as the things they were complaining about would only be even worse under PP.
...Oh, these people lack critical thinking skills, and they were being bought by conservative supporters?
I'm trusting he'll lead the country in the right direction through all this tariff nonsense.
By leaving the office
It really improved his popularity.
Once saw a fuck Trudeau flag next to a every child matters flag on the same truck. Based centrist alert.
Saw a fπCK 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.
The "Fuck Carney" flags are already in production, I guarantee it.
