    I’m with Rachel, really nice hair - and even more so, really nice face. I’d much rather look this man on the news any day compared to the orange temper tantrum inclined tyrant we have. I hate to think JT was not as good for Canada as he appeared, but I understand such a concern all too well.

    I liked him, but I think his message got stale, and his time was past due. This should have happened a year ago. Perhaps then there would have been time for new leader to build popularity. PP scares me. He's like a mini Trump, and I can't stand him. I also don't think Singh stands a chance. So yeah, we're screwed.

    Such lovely hair. So what now, Canada?

  • Again, I think I'm lacking context, I'm so sorry 😅😅
