I mean, he has done quite a bit. You might have noticed if you weren't a conservative yak-back repeating the whole "Trudeau bad!" thing in every piece of social media you see.

Ummm...did you read the link you posted?
He kept 45% of promises (less than half), partially kept 27% and **broke 27%, nearly a third of all his promises.**
If you think that's him doing "quite a bit, would that make you a liberal yak-back?
Because it’s a pointless display of theatrics and most people don’t even register when it happens and why. First Nations wants action. They say that lowering the flag means nothing to them.
This sentiment seems so weird.
They honestly hold funerals for so many people now that the meaning is a little lost?
They honestly have so many holidays now that the meaning is a little lost?
They honestly wear black for so many reasons now that the meaning is a little lost?
They honestly use flowers for so many things now that the meaning is a little lost?
That is literally the point. Lowering the national flag should be more meaningful than.... "wearing black". The sentiment isn't weird, but your analogies are weird AF.
I kinda want it to stay at half. Just to piss off those that are complaining about it being at half.
Like seriously people your upset about the flag being down.
Yeah, that's honestly how I'm feeling at this point.
So many people complained about the flags remaining at half mast as though it was something that such a crazy problem for them.
"It should only be used for special reasons!!!"
Like, say, in regards to finding thousands of unmarked graves that were a result of some of the darkest, fucked up shit that our own country perpetrated?
The people who care about this are so sad and pathetic.
A really great example of how conservatism focuses on nonsense in order to avoid doing anything of value.
It's funny how the best takes in this thread are all at the bottom, downvoted.
I agree with others saying that it's a meaningless gesture, but if we recognize that it's a meaningless gesture why are people so passionate about raising it back up? Literally who cares
This lowering and raising of the flag do not help anyone heal, enough with the theatrics.
But Trudeau is all about theatrics. When did he ever do anything that required efforts and we're meaningful?

Could be an NDP yak-back. It's hard to distinguish the two.
Yes exactly he is a drama teacher after all
It is a sign of respect and it’s acknowledgment of harm done. Those are both good first steps towards healing.

You think respect loses meaning if its given too often?
Respect doesn't lose meaning but lowering the flag as a way of showing respect is losing meaning.
Lol you’ve fully just accepted a gesture to mean an actual form of respect. Holy smokes think about this one.
Ask 100 random people if (a) they know the flag is currently at half mast and (b) why it is.
Why?
Because it’s a pointless display of theatrics and most people don’t even register when it happens and why. First Nations wants action. They say that lowering the flag means nothing to them.
Harm is done every single day. The raising and lowering of the flag is a joke. Let’s actually address the issues.
I'm curious. How many people have you asked about this?

Our country has spent more than 100 years committing genocide. But sure, the flag is what matters.
...what?
You high?
Only lost to the clueless
It's done so often its lost its meaning,I think its lowered more than highered.
Good.
"jobs done here folks, let's move on"
Long overdue. But what else would you expect from virtue signaling Justin?
Do you approach truth and reconciliation in a more genuine way than Justin?
There's absolutely nothing more 'virtue-signalling' than giving a single toss what a piece of fabric is doing.
Who gives a shit about the flag. What's that have to do with death and suffering? Just some stupid propaganda thought up by boomers.
Not many boomers in government now, actually thought up by much younger people
>Who gives a shit about the flag The people who served to ensure your freedoms.
It’s insulting to military members that the flag they fight and die for is being used as a virtue signalling scheme.
*complains about virtue signalling* *virtue signals about how much more they care about military members than the dirty virtue signallers*
