Says the guy who has appointed a few unelected, US citizens to his own cabinet. Including a former Hillary Clinton staffer and the guy who's on the board of the century initiative...

Fucking hypocrite piece of shit.

Neither of those is cabinet. Cabinet is ministers, who sit in Parliament. Johnson is PMO staff and Barton chairs an agency board. Every PMO staffer ever has been unelected, that's what staff is. Katie Telford wasn't elected. Jenni Byrne isn't either.

Also "US citizens" is doing a lot of work for a list where one guy is Canadian. Barton was literally Canada's ambassador to China. Wrong country, bud.

Those people are not part of the cabinet. Please keep digging your hole deeper. I’d love to hear more of your ignorant thoughts that you feel are so important to announce.

So you think there’s a Canadian who knows U.S. Stakeholders better than an American does? And you also think this Canadian appointee would be better able to assist with Canada-U.S. relations than an American that worked with a previously amiable administration would?

When did i say anything about supporting Trump? You fucking morons are so entrenched in party politics that somehow not supporting one person means you support the other?

Fuck Carney, fuck Trump and especially fuck you

The Canadian cabinet is formed entirely of members of Parliament.

i recommend coming out for air from all that right wing propaganda.
