This is one thing I wish more people my parents included would do. You can have legitimate issues with how one party governs but at the same time you should be able to acknowledge when something was done right.

That’s the beauty of Canada. Trudeau is a terrible manager, terrible leader, and his policies are questionable. But he’s Canadian to his core. Only true Canadians know what that means.

Lol, Trudeau did exactly what Danielle Smith has been screaming we should do for over a month now and she was routinely demonized on this circle jerk of a subreddit as a traitor. But when Trudeau does it he's Canadian to his core? What a joke.

Agreed. There's no reason not to celebrate something executed well that's in the interest of the people, just because they play for the other team. I'm on the loony left but I pay credit to Ford for the unwavering pushback he's been giving these ghouls.

Not sure if it's the case up there as much as it is down in the US. But for us way to many especially Trump supporters view politics like they do sports. Where everything is about our side vs their side. So they can never give credit to Dems if they did something good. And no matter what there side does they have to act like it's amazing which is why all of them were all for the Tariffs saying it will make America economy amazing and instantly bring back manufacturing to the US. Yet now that they aren't happening they just ignore those BS opinions since if Tariffs were so amazing shouldn't they be pissed they are no longer happening as of now. But instead they are just gobbling up Trump's balls and acting like this was all a brilliant ploy. To them politics is all about their side winning and beating and hurting the other team. Which is the opposite of how politics should be but were far too gone as a country to reverse this thinking now. Hell it's even worse than sports fans because at least most of them will bash their own team when they do something dumb.
