the next time turdo visits a first nations reserve is he going to show up wearing feathers and moccasins and beating a drum? Can you imagine how offensive his actions were in India for mocking their culture? You'd think he was in Disneyworld touring the India pavilion.

(Did us taxpayers pay for the thug to travel and stay in India.....along with the celebrity chef?)



"I was attacked in the parking lot of my law office by Atwal with an iron bar...and he left me with injuries that required 84 stitches to my head and several stitches to one of my hands," former B.C. premier Ujjal Dosanjh said. bc.ctvnews.ca/ex-premier-fla…

Donald trump jr being welcomed by the ones there using their gov positions to better their personal selves, if you buy Donald trumps product you get to meet the Donald. Holy crap about as bad as getting oil Company shares then giving them deals to come to do business in your province. Abuse of power for self gain is rampant everywhere.

And our stoner has tried on more India costumes than the Donald grabbed p---y his last trip abroad.
Like immature little rich spoiled brats. Do they not know how overboard that is?

I wonder if truduea goes on a trip to
The jungle we he dress like Tarzan? Marijuana damages your brain if you do it at a young age it's obvious kids and parents just take a look!!!!!

We better be sending our ag minister their to do some repairs in damage and get working on the pulse problem.

It appears the India trip was a HUGE greasefire and has caused a lot of damage for Canada.....mainly due to Narcissism.



Why Justin Trudeau’s India tour turned out to be a diplomatic disaster
By ET CONTRIBUTORS | Feb 24, 2018, 11.00 PM IST

By Candice Malcolm
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has built a reputation as an ardent defender of progressive values, a global leader who is open, tolerant, liberal and colourful — well, at least his socks are colourful.
Trudeau is a self-styled feminist who takes political correctness to new heights, as was the case when he recently interrupted a young woman and instructed her to use the term “peoplekind” rather than mankind.
In Canada, many have grown sceptical of the prime minister’s antics. His popularity is on the decline at home: he just returned from a cross-Canada speaking tour that went anything but well. While explaining why his government was fighting a veterans’ group over pension payments, Trudeau told a wounded war hero that Canadian veterans were asking for more money than his government was willing to give. This left a sting given that Trudeau’s government awarded convicted Al-Qaeda terrorist Omar Khadr $10.5 million without going to court.
Next, Trudeau was asked why his government was welcoming members of IS back into Canada. Trudeau’s tone-deaf response was to equate IS terrorists with other waves of immigration to Canada, including Europeans who fled Nazi Germany during World War II. Canadians weren’t pleased. And scepticism towards Trudeau’s naive arrogance continues to mount.
Trudeau is treated differently, however, while travelling on the world stage. He’s enjoyed favourable media coverage and his long tour of India was supposed to be a fresh opportunity to capitalise on his international popularity. But, as we all know, Trudeau’s time in India has instead been a diplomatic disaster. So, what went wrong? In a word, narcissism — paired with superficiality and poor judgement.
The Canadian prime minister’s success to date can be traced more to his talents as a performance artist than to an understanding of statecraft, economics, or diplomacy. When posing in a costume, he is at his best. But without a scripted narrative to follow, he lacks the depth and the sophistication to grasp when the show has gone on too long.
The trip started off on a disappointing note, as the Trudeau delegation was received at the airport by a minister of state, not even a member of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet. International and local observers speculated that Trudeau was being snubbed, given the cold shoulder, over unscrupulous ties between his Liberal Party and Khalistani separatists and extremists.
Too Little, Too Late? The Liberals have a long history of votebank politics, pandering to illiberal groups in exchange for votes. Trudeau has further aligned his party with the powerful World Sikh Organisation; he has appointed several of its supporters to highranking government positions.
Trudeau’s partisan pandering went so far as attending a Khalsa Day parade in Toronto in 2017, where he gave a speech and was photographed in front of the yellow-andblue Khalistan separatist flag. Trudeau’s predecessor Stephen Harper refused to attend this event, and for good reason. These events feature militant Khalistani parade floats, posters and shrines dedicated to terrorists, and speakers calling for a violent upheaval in India. Trudeau’s poor judgement in attending this event was catching up with him in India.
Things turned markedly worse for Trudeau when news broke in Canada, led by my own investigation for the Toronto Sun, that Trudeau’s entourage included a convicted assassin and former Sikh terrorist.
After going to great length to convince Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh that his government did not associate with radicals, we learned that one such radical was part of his own entourage in India.
Jaspal Atwal was convicted of attempted murder in Canada in 1987 after he attempted to assassinate a visiting Punjabi cabinet minister, Malkiat Singh Sidhu, on Vancouver Island. At the time, Atwal was a member of the International Sikh Youth Federation — a terrorist group now banned in Canada.
The Trudeau government tried to distance itself from Atwal, saying it was all a “mistake”, blaming a backbench MP, and insisting the invitation had been rescinded. Too little, too late, said some observers.
Atwal was already in India, his official invitation to a state dinner was circulating on social media, and he had already been photographed with top Liberal officials and Trudeau’s wife Sophie.
The Trudeau government’s explanation was further refuted when more photos surfaced of Atwal with Trudeau himself, one at a 2015 Liberal Party campaign event in Vancouver, and another that appears to have been taken before Trudeau became leader of the Liberal Party. Atwal is a longtime Liberal supporter and activist, he’s a former donor to the party and a former Liberal board member for the electoral district in Surrey, British Columbia. Atwal’s ties to the Liberals run deep, and there is no excuse for Trudeau’s continued relationship with a convicted criminal and former member of a terrorist organisation.
Trudeau’s time in India was criticised for its lack of official business, not to mention the excessive photo-ops and insensitive overuse of Indian clothing. To add insult to injury for Canadians, his tax-payer funded tour looked more like another lavish family vacation — including his own celebrity chef flown in from Vancouver — than a diplomatic bilateral meeting. But these criticisms pale in comparison to serious catastrophe of not only associating with a convicted terrorist assassin, but bringing him to India alongside his official delegation.
Many questions remain unanswered, including how Atwal received a visa and why the Prime Minister’s Office failed to vet the official invitation list. Trudeau will have plenty of explaining to do once he arrives back in Canada. Many Canadians, meanwhile, are deeply embarrassed and ashamed of Trudeau’s behaviour in India.
A grassroots petition has been launched for Canadians to show their support for a united India and apologise on behalf of our clueless prime minister.
