Justin Trudeau gave one of his worst interviews during the campaign with a Maritime<\/em> reporter, Steve Murphy.<\/p>\n

Murphy continually asked him for the numbers on his spending promises, to which Trudeau had none to give. Eventually he went on the offensive against Murphy and suggested that Murphy approached politics with a calculator while Trudeau can speak to Canadians. People who think in terms of STEM find this remarkably absurd.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s problematic that if the numbers don\u2019t add up in Trudeau\u2019s budgets, he won\u2019t be helping Canadians at all. Wages will remain stagnant while power bills go up, grocery bills go up, and our tax bills will go up.<\/p>\n

Trudeau is on the record claiming that he will grow the economy from the heart outward, but as the calculator dictates, his plans have serious economic consequences and the rhetoric that appears caring is actually destructive.<\/p>\n

Rational thinkers find the empty rhetoric of growing the economy from the heart outward, while simultaneously making life harder on the poor and middle class, highly offensive.<\/p>\n

Feminists have supplied us with the premise that on average, women don\u2019t think in terms of STEM. Economics as a science requires an appraisal that is thoroughly calloused at times, which people who don\u2019t appreciate STEM will find highly offensive.<\/p>\n

The end result is that if women don\u2019t think in terms of calloused rationalism, they won\u2019t find libertarianism at all appealing.<\/p>\n

If it were the case that only Canadian women were permitted to vote, Trudeau would win a majority government easily. If only Canadian men were to vote, Trudeau would be swiftly defeated.<\/p>\n

George W. Bush was the most unpopular president in the U.S. during my lifetime, and yet his approval ratings are polled higher for Americans than Trudeau\u2019s are among Canadian men.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a discrepancy between men and women but that doesn\u2019t imply individualism is wrong.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

We do need to encourage women to adopt the calloused STEM approach. $99 per case of water isn\u2019t how most women think, but unlike the opposing view it has the virtue of actually being getting water to people; going beyond stage-one-thinking \u2013 it\u2019s actually compassionate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
