Justin Trudeau gets agreement with remaining countries on TPP. He was

gunning for more protection for workers and the like. Because you can put anything you want in a trade agreement, not just pure capitalist things. Seems the GOP has made a big booboo allowing Trump to take the right wing off the stage in negotiating trade agreements. The world is moving on without them. And agreements will reflect more of a worker bent.

Cause so many evangelicals and right wing Christians vote in racist snakes

and are dependant on religion to make them feel good. Then they project who they would be without religion on atheists. And they would be racist snake voters: the wretched of the song 'Amazing Grace'. So they assume atheists would be the same. They are projecting who they would be without religion on people.

It is not a double cross. He is dyslexic and looks at things with various assumptions.

When he is near democrats he goes with them. When he is with the right wing he goes with them. He should retire and come up with a big picture like most dyslexics but he is busy watching tv and probably his father and Roy Cohn drilled big picture thinking out of him because it implies looking at the world through multiple and various perspective (empathy). Democrats are not near him often enough. And he does not have enough time to reflect. And he doesn't care about policy. Which means he doesn't care about the people.

Employment need in Canada the highest in 4 decades. Who says you can't

have social programs and great employment. Who says you can't tax the well off. And these job vacancies are good quality jobs. CTV News. And on the whole inequality is decreasing in Canada.
