Former Australian PM Calls Justin Trudeau "A FLAKE"

Former Australian prime minster Malcolm Turnbull has accused Justin Trudeau of “humiliating” other world leaders during negotiations for a revamped Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal in 2017.

In a just published autobiography, Turnbull said he personally felt let down by Trudeau and upbraided him for embarrassing other world leaders when he failed to show up for a critical meeting.

Turnbull said he was scheduled, by coincidence, to meet with Trudeau after the no-show and the Canadian prime minister seemed more interesting in talking about his socks than the previous meeting.

“Justin always wore perfectly tailored suits that fitted like a glove, bright socks and on this occasion two-tone shoes,” wrote Turnbull. “‘What do you think of the socks?’ he asked, crossing his legs as he sat down. ‘Justin,’ I said, ‘we’re not here to talk about your socks’.”

Turnbull said Canada’s indecision on the trade deal also made Trudeau look “flaky.”

Turnbull is a cunt, but he's not unreasonable here. The real question is why did he blow off the meeting?

Trudeau is cultural window dressing to legitimize the elitist moral hazard that's destroying the country.

To get a better deal for Canada, R14. It was in the news at the time.

Turnbull couldn't pull a deal together and in typical right wing fashion blames someone else for his own failings.

r15 the whole TPP was shit from the start. "Better" is so relative as to be useless.
