Pretty gross and classless.

I personally have policy issues with the Liberals, and a couple specific areas where I think they let us down, but this is just pure electioneering politicking that completely ignores the human beings involved. Opening up with "Justin Trudeau is a bastard man who made things worse", instead of "we may not have agreed on everything, but I do want to thank Mr Trudeau for his years of public service in office", is just flat out small and gross in my mind.

It's something PP would do, it's something Trump would do, it's not something Jack Layton would do, and it's quite frankly, not something Trudeau would do. If nothing else, the responses to his resignation have made it clear that he was the only party leader who actually had basic leadership qualities.

Yeah, it's gross, so gross. Like finding a squished catapiller on your arm. So gross!

Or blowing your nose and discovering later you have snot on your chin. Grosssssss!

Just plain gross.

Fucking grow up bud.

What the other person means is that it's extremely unprofessional. As a lifelong NDP voter I'm disgusted and disappointed with Mr Singh. Regardless of what you think of the other person, there's no need to resort to that kind of shit.

And you, you sound like a sad little pissbaby, maybe make a constructive comment if you want to sit at the table with the fucking adults.

Lol, there's the kind of toxic hate speech I expected in online discourse; but no need to get so emotional. I forgive you.

Wow, give your head a shake. Criticism of your immaturity in response to a very valid comment on the what the leader of what's supposed to be one of Canada's left, progressive parties said....is very much not hate speech, and calling it that dilutes actual hate speech. But do go ahead and pretend to take the high road after, and I quote:

I shake my head all the time, for unrelated medical reasons, but I wish you all the best nonetheless.
