The person to whom I was replying didn't seem to mind. We were obviously both being facetious because of the scandalously disingenuous way the government has always treated the indigenous people of this country.And here you go again, keeping it classy.
I will make the connection a little clearer so you can understand. It was suggested Trudeau is terrible because he seems to show a lot of empathy toward them while apparently doing nothing. The point is every PM this century and long before did the same.
Let's get real about Trudeau. He's getting the Obama treatment. He's not perfect, being human and all, and he seems wishy washy at best when it comes to the environment despite huge promises and he has failed to keep more than 1 campaign promise. Wingnuts and certain groups within social media have been making hay out of exaggerating every aspect of it. But as has oft been said about the lack of legislative progress down south, you can't expect to get every single promise done. And further, these things take time. Trudeau appears to be getting things done, just not as much as people would like. He's still quite popular and with good reason. Few people think he can do no wrong, and he's not so far removed from criticism that he avoids public discussion of it. The hate for him is laughably misplaced in my view.
Edit: what cracks me up is he gets no credit from the right whatsoever for backing off on environmental policies and helping out the oil patch while at the same time he gets shat on by environmentalists.
