Its allure is surpassed only by our desire to figure out what the hell is going on. Is he saying, “You know I love you, even if I have to work late at cabinet tomorrow,” while she replies “I don’t care, it still leaves me alone with three kids for supper?” Is the fact that he’s gazing into her ear and holding her hips into his own while she’s looking beyond him, at what’s coming, an accurate reflection of the dynamic of their relationship? Quite possibly. The camera has never frightened Justin or his wife, who worked as a correspondent for CTV, and as Mikhail Baryshnikov once said, the body never lies. “We’ve been preparing for this for years,” Sophie said of the couple’s political career in a private interview with The Globe shortly before the election in October. “Once Justin decided to go on the political scene, all the spotlights were on him. I think we’ve done pretty well finding a balance and a centre. It can be very scrutinized. We see a lot of leaders and people in the public service and the political world reacting with fear, or intimidation, lack of respect for other human beings. I think not only Canada but the world as a whole is called upon to really choose leaders who can generate unity and compassion throughout the world. This is how you find peace, right? I think it starts from within. And Justin has that capacity to swim through crazy waters but keep his vision, keep calm. He doesn’t lose control. He analyzes. He opens up at that moment, whether it’s in the boxing ring and he’s getting shots, or whether it’s in the political ring, or in nature. His personality stays true to who he is, wherever he is. And I think that’s very reassuring.” His weakness? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/why-we-cant-stop-talking-about-vogues-photos-of-justin-and-sophie/article27671380/?click=sf_globefb The whole world loves lovers.

That is an editorial opinion. You may agree with it, but it is the guy's conservative opinion. But then it went on to explain Harper's foreign policy which was right on.

Is that the best your Google could do? I read that a long time ago. It's dated and stale news. It is from the report you link...was your report dated and stale news?

Yep.The point is your comment to me about reading it to which I am saying I read it a long time ago and I think we even discussed it before. So I read it Edited by campy, Dec 11 2015, 05:13 PM.

Well, tell me that next time and I won't waste my time with inconsequential rankings. Why the hell would you try to make a point with something stale? Edited by Bitsy, Dec 11 2015, 05:16 PM.

Of course you would like to think that, you actually probably need to think that. A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. Harper sprinkles his magic fairy dust and makes Canada into "appealing environment, measured by people's perception of having "friendly and welcoming people," a "beautiful country," an "appealing lifestyle" and being an "enjoyable country." ROFL...

You don't even have Canadian television . You have a thing about Harper even though you don't have a dog in the hunt so to speak.

So are you saying that Canada doesn't have "appealing environment, measured by people's perception of having "friendly and welcoming people," a "beautiful country," an "appealing lifestyle" and being an "enjoyable country.? Bummer that is disappointing, though I have never been there, I have read and seen pictures that led me to agree with the findings of the report but now you are implying that I am wrong because I haven't been there personally and I don't have Canadian television. Quote: You have a thing about Harper even though you don't have a dog in the hunt so to speak. Sound like you are getting close to telling me that I shouldn't be posting in Canadian politics???? Are you getting a little heated like Michelle?

Handyman Extraordinaire Posts: 28,720 Group: no politics Member #204 Joined: February 2, 2006	Nope. I'm not saying that at all, but I do recall you being upset with me for posting about American politics and G.W. Bush. In fact I was prohibited from that forum. I'm saying Harper gets the credit and the debits for anything that happened in Canada while he was the leader of the country. You are saying he gets none of the credit.

Quote: I'm saying Harper gets the credit and the debits for anything that happened in Canada while he was the leader of the country. How the hell can he get credit for some of those rankings? Quote: You are saying he gets none of the credit. I am saying for the last time.."appealing environment, measured by people's perception of having "friendly and welcoming people," a "beautiful country," an "appealing lifestyle" and being an "enjoyable country have little to do with Harper or any other PM for that matter.

Handyman Extraordinaire Posts: 28,720 Group: no politics Member #204 Joined: February 2, 2006	Hmmn. The Conservative policies have a lot to do with the leader and he should get the credit for all the comments. That's if you consider non biased sources as you previously explained. You have a bone to pick with Harper. You are saying he gets none of the credit for the respect and admiration Canada gets from international sources. He was a good Prime Minister and good for Canada or that respect and admiration would not exist. No Bitsy. Now when it comesto Bush you told me that you didn't like me commenting on American affairs or words to that effect because I don't live there and have to put up with his policies.

The Conservative policies have a lot to do with the leader and he should get the credit for all the comments. Whatever,Camps, give him all the credit you want to. When future rankings are done, I assume Liberals will want al the credit given to Trudeau...fair trade,I would say. Quote: That's if you consider non biased sources as you previously explained. Huh? Quote: You have a bone to pick with Harper. You are saying he gets none of the credit for the respect and admiration Canada gets from international sources He was a good Prime Minister and good for Canada or that respect and admiration would not exist. And all the world admiration now seems to have migrated to Trudeau. Especially among those countries who did not feel that Harper was doing enough about climate change and recently the Syrian refugee situation. They are pleased to see Trudeau step up to the plate on those issues as opposed to Harper. Quote: No Bitsy. Now when it comesto Bush you told me that you didn't like me commenting on American affairs or words to that effect because I don't live there and have to put up with his policies. I told you that Bush sending our boys off to fight a war that you strong supported, a war that cost us taxpayers trillions of dollars did not affect you because though you pretended and posted as an American citizen you weren't, you had neither a family member fighting on foreign soil nor was it your tax dollars. That is what I told you.

Congress including Hillary voted for the Iraq invasion and Bill Clinton passed the Act that Saddam should be deposed and replaced by a democratic government. Youwere basically telling me to mind my own business because I didn't have a dog in the hunt because I don't live in the U.S. Hmmn? Edited by campy, Dec 12 2015, 03:45 AM.
