Both men in suits, with Justin Trudeau wearing a red tie and the other man wearing a blue one. The man with the blue tie is holding a piece of paper with the words “ENERGY POLITICS”. There are two speech bubbles in this cartoon, each man having one for themselves. The man with the blue tie saying “WE NEED TO RESOLVE THIS LIKE ADULTS!”, Justin Trudeau replying with “DO YOU KNOW ANY” while sticking his tongue out. This political cartoon is commenting on Justin Trudeau’s ability to complete his role as prime minister of Canada. The cartoonist is criticizing Justin Trudeau and how his premiership has gone. The man in the blue tie could be representing Justin Trudeau’s cabinet and political party, as they are in the most power in Canadian parliament and have to deal with issues head on. A comparison is made between Justin Trudeau and childish tendencies as when told to deal with the situation as adults, he replies with “Do we have any?”, while sticking his tongue out, suggesting that there aren’t any adults in his political party. Many people view Justin Trudeau as a candidate that got into office due to his father’s previous premiership and just inherited everything like a spoiled child. This comments on how people view Justin Trudeau as someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing and expects everything to be handed to them and done for them and how he is just a child in parliament. It represents this concept perfectly, showing Justin Trudeau’s reaction to “adult things” in a childish way, with a sulking tone and bold gesture. ]]> 2020-07-21 19:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/659497693 https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/659515010 The political cartoon illustrates Donald Trump holding a rocket launcher that has “trade war” written on it. It could be interpreted that he is attempting to fire it at China because of the text bubble above him but instead of it firing at China the rocket launcher has backfired and hit the man behind him wearing the American flag on his suit. The overall message of this cartoon is that Donald Trump starting a trade war with China is only going to end up backfiring on him and hurt America. The cartoonist’s perspective of this is that they are criticizing Trump for starting this trade war that will only end up impacting America in a negative way and not China. The man standing behind Trump could be representing America and how Trump's actions are pointing a gun at America and blowing it up. The reason why this is backfiring on Trump is because many consumer items and things are all made in China. If he starts a trade war with China he would have to find a different country to outsource resources and consumer items and it might not be as cheap as China.]]> 2020-07-21 20:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/659515010 https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/659700746 2020-07-22 01:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/659700746 amalak1 https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/659867004 2020-07-22 05:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/659867004 harryo1 https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/660216148 The cartoon is about Trump being nonsupporting of GM outsourcing by the perspective is criticizing Trump for not being supportive. The source points out all the things that were made somewhere else. His suit, his tie, his shirt, and possibly his presidency. The source is supportive of outsourcing because it brings new jobs to developing countries. ]]> 2020-07-22 15:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/660216148 darae1 https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/660268495 This cartoon implies the effects that the WTO and developed governments have on poorer countries. When they make deals and decisions other less developed countries get hit in the crossfire.]]> 2020-07-22 16:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/660268495 eunicem2 https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/660779067 This cartoon is ironic because the WTO advocates for free trade and cutting barriers between countries so exports and imports flow more easily. The turtle that represents the WTO while there is a young individual riding on his back with a container indicating he may be poor. Instead the turtle goes the wrong way making it ironic since the WTO does not favour developing countries.]]> 2020-07-23 05:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/terrencemacdonald/mqw5dk6n85jf3362/wish/660779067
