  1. so basically continue to “trust the experts”, seems to have worked pretty well the last 3 years no?

  2. Experts are never really that expert. And who decides who the experts are? Most “Experts” have massive egos with often competing agenda$.

  3. And who makes the university drop out an expert in anything other than spreading his miss and dissinformation…

  4. Well, he’s definitely the expert since he spreads misinformation and disinformation on a daily basis.

  5. His difference from experts is that he labels critiques from anyone as dis or mis, and experts are willing to take other views as a way to improve.

  6. dis- and mis- definitions are mixed up. Misinformation, as in mistake, disinformation as in dissent (on purpose)

  7. It appears that he’s an expert on using disinformation based on his definition. He’s also an expert on using misinformation as well… since both words are not interchangeable.

  8. Trudeau gave the definition of “disinformation” to define “misinformation,” and vice versa. This after he gave student hard time for allegedly confounding the two terms.

  9. HE STUDIED ENGLISH LITERATURE, OFTEN DEFERS TO THE DEFINITION OF WORDS, AND YET STILL GOT THE DEFINITIONS MIXED UP. UNBELIEVABLE HE RUNS OUR COUNTRY

  10. Taking advice from a guy that says budgets balance themselves. Maybe he has a future in weatherman by the sounds of it

  11. He got it wrong after thinking about it for an eternity. Then word salads the rest of his answer. Our expert in English literature and PM!
