Barack Obama’s Twitter endorsement for Justin Trudeau was “inappropriate,” Peter MacKay says GlobePolitics

Peter MacKay introduces the Leader of Canada's Conservatives Andrew Scheer as he campaigns for the upcoming election in Little Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada October 17, 2019.Former U.S. president Barack Obama’s decision to endorse Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is “inappropriate,” says former Conservative cabinet minister Peter MacKay.

“He’s a hard-working, effective leader who takes on big issues like climate change,” Mr. Obama wrote. Mr. Scheer also declined to say whether he thought it was appropriate for Mr. Obama to weigh in on the Canadian election. Speaking on the campaign trail on Thursday, Mr. Trudeau avoided directly answering questions about whether Mr. Obama was asked to endorse him just days before Canadians head to the polls.

globepolitics It sure was but funny how the Democrats can do as they please. Obumma that is no different than trump. So I guess you should be grilled for meddling in our election process ....... traitor.s

globepolitics ScheerVendors KinsellaGate ScheerHypocrisy

globepolitics If Obama had endorsed Scheer, would Peter MacKay be complaining?

globepolitics Peter who ? Still hurting from the Linda ditch

liberalnotlefty globepolitics No shit! You think.

kkirkup globepolitics I TOTALLY AGREE WITH PETER MacKAY. YES BARAK OBAMA HAS no place in Canada cause HE IS NOT A CANADIAN. WHAT RIGHTS HE HAS TO TELL THE CANADIANS WHAT TO DO? Does Canadian Politicians tell Barak Obama what to do & will HE listen? NON CANADIANS PLEASE STAY AWAY

globepolitics Ho please

globepolitics Maybe Peter will make another sad sack video of himself pining for the good old days when conservatives could stick it to ordinary Canadians. HelenaGeurgis Lovesick Manbaby

globepolitics McKay knows all about inappropriate. How's the fishing pete?

globepolitics It’s very inappropriate. An American should butt out of our politics.

globepolitics IVOTEDTRUDEAU

globepolitics Agreed.

globepolitics And he is correct. Are we ok with Putin endorsing one of our parties? Apparently not. Progressives are far beyond stupid and hypocritical now.

globepolitics BREAKING NEWS - literally no one gives a fuck about the opinions of Peter McKay. Also, he’s wrong. Elections Canada says so. 😆

globepolitics PeterMacKay what about realDonaldTrump endorsing AndrewScheer is that cool or embarrassing

globepolitics Jealous much 😂

globepolitics Mckay’s ticked off because Scheer did not get any high profile endorsement. MoveOn ChildsPlay The Obama endorsement is probably going to do more harm than good to Trudeau. Canadians prepare for a minority government. 😏

HomerElle globepolitics You don’t say.....

globepolitics Ok

globepolitics If 'it doesn't make a lick of a difference' than it doesn't matter

globepolitics He was right

globepolitics Peter she’s never coming back...face it, you got dumped...

globepolitics Do you need a tissue, Peter?

globepolitics Like use taxpayers money to fly around in a helicopter inappropriate?

globepolitics Peter should be quiet.

globepolitics Bologna!

globepolitics Because BLACK FACE Don’t matter and it’s wrong timing don’t you think

globepolitics You know what really was inappropriate? PeterMackay

globepolitics Peter? I have something for you....

globepolitics And MacKay’s endorsement of the Reform Party was appropriate?

globepolitics Id sooner vote for a bottle of Water then the High Treason Criminal known as Justin Trudeau... But you Liberally Disordered people keep supporting the Liberal Fascist

globepolitics Peter McKay definitely knows the definition of “inappropriate “, like when he had a SAR helicopter pick him up on vacation.

globepolitics So was the private use of a S&R chopper to impress his date while he was Minister of Defence. Pistol Pete should go back into retirement.

globepolitics It seems Elections Canada itself does NOT agree with Peter. Wah wah!!!

globepolitics Nominating Scheer was inappropriate.

globepolitics He’s jealous that Obama and Trudeau are friends!

globepolitics Peter MacKay can bugger away forever. His only contribution to Canadian politics has been to sell out the Progressive Conservatives to the batshit crazy 'Refowm Pahty'.

globepolitics Jealous? Scared? Stupid? I'll go with Idjit

globepolitics Yeahhh Much like the time he took a search and rescue helicopter on a fishing trip right? STFD

globepolitics It must have been hard for President Obama to endorse the PM over a fellow American citizen...

globepolitics It’s not as if Obama was still in office endorsing him. Also, as you say, you don’t think it’ll make a lick of difference anyway. Who asked him? Does he need some attention or something?

globepolitics Why cause its true and violates the 'anyone-but-Trudeau' narrative?

globepolitics

globepolitics You don’t tell Obama what to say, Obama tells you....

globepolitics Peter Mackay is a bad faith turd and no one should give af what he has to say

globepolitics Did he comment on the appropriateness of having US Trump 2016 dirty trick election agents working for the concert of campaign or the money laundering of US political action committee monies through the Manning Institute

globepolitics 🙄

globepolitics JE-HE-HE-HEALOUS

globepolitics He's absolutely right. There is no good reason to tamper with an election between two peaceful governments. If the Bloc and Trudeau were vying for power, I think it would be a different matter. The Bloc wants to separate Quebec from Canada.

globepolitics 🙄 if he’d endorsed Conservative party leader, that’d be ok, am I right? Get off it Pete

globepolitics this guy used an air force helicopter for a fishing vacation

globepolitics So is using military helicopters for personal benefit. Just saying.

globepolitics HAHAHA HAHAHAHA!

globepolitics Anyone want to bet that Peter wouldn't have vocalized the same opinion if Obama had endorsed Scheer?

globepolitics Who cares what MacKay says- irrelevant & usually wrong . Let him get back to endorsing Brexit .....oops is that inappropriate?

globepolitics Citizens of another country can not endorse sitting Canadian prime minister?!! Where is that law ?!

globepolitics ... Why? Because it didn't endorse PC 's Scheer?!

globepolitics Get over it

globepolitics Totally inappropriate.

globepolitics Absolutely it was,casually meddling in other countries politics is kind of cheap ! Who cares what he has to say? His record as president wasn’t as great as it’s been made out to be.Trump is just so awful it makes him look better than he is.

globepolitics Obama is no longer president so he is simply and man stating he likes Justin Trudeau. They wouldn’t be complaining if he said he liked Scheer

globepolitics PeterMacKay, Spoken like a true mouthpiece for The Saudi Regime!

North_Nova globepolitics Says the guy who dated American Sec Of State while he was MP cabinet minister. No conflicts there. Sit down or become a candidate again!

globepolitics Double standards as usual.

globepolitics Is it more inappropriate than dissolving a long standing political party and turning it over to the Reformers?

globepolitics TBH who cares what Peter MacKay thinks?

globepolitics He’s speaking up to help secure his role as new CPC leader. conservatives CPC_HQ

globepolitics

globepolitics Ummm 🧐 NO! you are wrong! Obama has the right to say whatever he wants specially if it’s good for a country that he cares for. He is a smart good man.

globepolitics Agree

globepolitics The Conservatives have a US citizen running to be Canada's Prime Minister, and they're worried about Obama endorsing Trudeau? 🤔

globepolitics Who cares what MacKay thinks? (Hint: No one) ChooseForward

globepolitics But it's okay for Harper to say that tRump is 'less dangerous' than Sanders? Is that not an endorsement? & Harper literally runs an institution dedicated to interfering on behalf of Cons in elections all over the world. Are all Cons are hypocrites?

globepolitics Says the conservative hypocrite!

globepolitics Like Peter MacKay, BarackObama is a private citizen and can endorse whomever he wants. Maybe Peter should have ran for Cons leadership is he’s that concerned.

globepolitics I don't get why anyone would really care what he thinks. notrelevant

globepolitics

globepolitics '...unless the comment helped my party' he later added in a moment of drunken honesty

globepolitics Agreed

globepolitics Oooooohhhhh just dying to hear what Peter MacKay says about trump and 'inappropriate' behaviour....

globepolitics Except it's ok for Harper to globe trot as a political consultant to actually promote conservative parties around the world, Mr 'A Little Banged Up'? elxn43 cdnpoli

globepolitics At least he's still got the Dougster.

globepolitics On the other hand stephenharper goes around the globe meddling in elections on behalf of right wing parties. Does Peter PeterMacKay has any comment on IDF ? cdnpoli

globepolitics He was hoping Barack endorsed the American candidate.

globepolitics There's nothing worst that altright political parties. They want free market... Least regulations... Tax cuts for the wealthy... No rules and no penalties for polluters... In other words, they're into old politics that benefit the rich and the polluters.

globepolitics Harper was selected by Americans -is he a clueless moron?

globepolitics What did he think of Scheer comparing gay marriage to a dog's tail? I bet he was really peeved when you asked him about scheer being an American citizen

globepolitics More inappropriate than say comendering a military aircraft for a fly fishing trip?

globepolitics He's practicing his lines for when daddy harper replaces scheeramerican with his favourite son. cdnpoli

globepolitics Thars Excatly how corrupt these Satanists Globalists are

globepolitics mackays selling the notion of a progressive centre right party to the reform party much more inappropriate

globepolitics Who even asked you, Peter?

globepolitics Put Peter MacKay's opinion on anything and a feather on a scale and the feather will have more weight yawn

globepolitics Perhaps AndrewScheer would like to have realDonaldTrump endorsement or does he even know him Ah Party Politics

globepolitics Pardon the whataboutism but McKay's use of military jets for personal use was more inappropriate

globepolitics Conservatives demand other parties play by unofficial rules that Conservatives themselves ignore.

globepolitics Hmm didn’t Harper endorse Modi and Orban? Very hypocritical

globepolitics 'He endorsed my opponent... so I believe it was inappropriate!'

globepolitics It’s always great when we can instantly point out their hypocrisy. Is the right the party of unrealistic standards?

globepolitics Harper endorsed Modi just before India elxn- talk about it

globepolitics Obama should have to pay the 5000 fine if that's a thing lol

globepolitics We dont care what he thinks he sold Canadians out to Reformers aka republicans, shame on him

globepolitics Inappropriate? Here's the now Alberta Minister of Agriculture, Devin Dreeshen. I wonder if MacKay and Scheer have MAGA hats as well that they put on late at night when they think no one is watching.

globepolitics

globepolitics FU Globeandmail --- ElectionsCan_E says NO, IT WAS NOT INAPPROPRIATE

globepolitics Why does he care? Especially if he believes it won’t matter

globepolitics We cant handle another four years of socialism. All our jobs are mcjobs and we are geting killed on heating oir homes and running our cars. Liberals and NDP and green are all socialist movements that will impoverish us further. Think for yourself, think for freedom.

globepolitics Is it me, or is everything to do with one’s political opponent ‘inappropriate’, when convenient?

globepolitics He's just mad because he's not that popular in his own province as Obama is!!

globepolitics Hypocrites! Harper endorsed Modi!

globepolitics Oh boo hoo . Go set down , your not in government anymore , you ran when you know nobody would vote for you .

globepolitics too bad I don't give a crap on what Peter said.

globepolitics Nah, it’s awesome. Peter MacKay can mind his own business

globepolitics A look at the yuge crowd of people who care what Peter MacKay says:

globepolitics Too bad Peter isn’t in Scheers spot.

globepolitics Obama just dropped to a 0 from an 8. The well connected are so pathetic sometimes.

globepolitics Jealous?

globepolitics Wonder how MacKay feels about Harper heading up an international org dedicated to supporting conservative electoral prospects worldwide...

globepolitics No its not,it was Obama`s choice who are you to say that any way!!

globepolitics It's a good endorsement for Trudeau and it makes conservatives scared. Obama scares all right wing because he can clean up their mess and they know it. They want a mess.

globepolitics

globepolitics Why? We have an American running for PM! An American president endorsement to a real Canadian...what’s wrong about that!

globepolitics Who cares what he thinks!

globepolitics Was not endorsement ! Was statement re past = his and Justin’s

globepolitics I agree. He was out of line and ought to be told !

globepolitics Not too long now for him to replace AndrewScheer

globepolitics Remember when Belinda made Pete her bitch? 😂😂😂😂

globepolitics Perhaps we should hand out pacifiers to whiny conservatives.

globepolitics Who cares what MacKay says? I don't.

globepolitics I don’t want to sound like a conmie but supporters should have to endorse all parties equally otherwise we might think one party is better than the other

kkirkup globepolitics Maybe everyone should stop complaining about it and it might stop being news

globepolitics

globepolitics

globepolitics it was beyond inappropriate i think it was against the law.. another boundary breach for justin in a 4 year long series. if the shoe were on the other foot he would sue the party who did this injustice to him.

globepolitics McKay's use of tax dollars was inappropriate too. Memba all the privileges he felt he deserved.

globepolitics Damn...here we go again!!! More Russian meddling in foreign elections!!!! TrudeauMustGo SNCLavalinScandal elxn43 elx43 cdnpoli

globepolitics Bet if Obama endorsed Scheer, it would be cool by Peter.

globepolitics In his opinion, not in mine.

globepolitics Peter MacKay speaking and anyone listening is 'Inappropriate'. I still giggle when I recall Belinda dumped him so hard he cried at his dad's farm on TV. That was funny. She and her dad are suing each other now, which is funny too.

globepolitics Interference - this word doesn’t mean what you think it means... as a private citizen right now who is not in a position to offer favours or transactionally conduct diplomacy as the orange anus pretending to be president right now, Obama can say whatever he wants. The end.

globepolitics

globepolitics Who?

globepolitics Everything about Trudeau is inapropriate

globepolitics Ya think

globepolitics Yeah. I actually lost a lot of respect for BarackObama over this. Ironically, it's foreign interference in our election, and it is uncharacteristically déclassé on Obama's part. 👎StefanMolyneux

globepolitics Pete’s just warming up for when the CPC_HQ ties the can to Scheer in November.

globepolitics No shit

globepolitics Awe poor baby Peter!!!

globepolitics cdnpoli canpoli elxn43 ChooseForward Really! We're being told what's inappropriate by someone who signed a written promise with David Orchard not to merge with Reformers -- to get him to drop out of the PC Party of Canada leadership contest -- then did exactly that. Sleazy.

globepolitics Peter who...

globepolitics Irrelevant white male tries to talk down to a black man with 110 million twitter followers. Sit this one out. Go tell Harper to stay out Hungary's politics. Harper has been hugging their fascist.

globepolitics LOL. Says the guy whose footmen are currently stabbing AndrewScheer in the back. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! conservativecrybabies

globepolitics And this is why MacKay was particularly vocal when Harper and Scheer said supported Brexit. He felt it was totally inappropriate.

globepolitics Trudeau’s whole time as PM has been inappropriate PPC2019

globepolitics Well, potato patch boy with a purloined puppy MacKay would know inappropriate. Are all COns into conspiracy theory now?

globepolitics Yeah, but only because he's endorsing a Liberal. It would have been alright, indeed welcomed, if he'd been endorsing, oh, you know what I mean.

globepolitics Just 'common sense' more like it. He's a private citizen. He can say whatever the hell he wants.

globepolitics But it's appropriate for Stephan Harper to endorse the Indian prime minister before there election? Your statement is BULLSHIT

globepolitics Says the giant glans

globepolitics

globepolitics Oh ho ho and how wrong this guy is

Obama weighs in on Canada's federal election, backs TrudeauFormer U.S. president Barack Obama has waded into the Canadian election, offering an unusual cross-border endorsement of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau with five days left in the campaign. Ironic he backs the blackface candidate lol They both failed as a leader. So it's okay now for an American to endorse Trudeau but Scheer dual citizen was a problem? Bunch of hypocrites His account must have been hacked. They actually claimed Trudeau was a progressive.
