Is That a Fighter Jet In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?

Justin Trudeau's stand up routine falls flat:
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is facing criticism for suggesting that Canada should consider a humanitarian mission in Iraq rather than “trying to whip out our CF-18s and show how big they are.” 
Trudeau made the off-colour joke during a brief question-and-answer session with journalist Don Newman at the Canada 2020 conference. 
“Why aren’t we talking more about the kind of humanitarian aid that Canada can and must be engaged in, rather than trying to whip out our CF-18s and show them how big they are?” Trudeau said. 
“It just doesn’t work like that in Canada.” 
The Prime Minister’s Office issued a terse statement of criticism shortly after the comment made the rounds on social media. 
“Mr. Trudeau’s comments are disrespectful of the Canadian Armed Forces and make light of a serious issue,” PMO spokesperson Jason MacDonald said in a statement to CTV News...
I think Justin, who is notoriously thin-skinned, should have to apologize for his bad comedy act, don't you?

No, he doesn't need to apologise. However, it is now incumbent for Conservatives to mention JustinT has very nice hair for a Gritty leader.
