Justin Trudeau and Angela Merkel are confusing politicians, while both are devoted to their political ideology, they often ignore political party norms to reinforce their country, their continent and their world. Upon assuming office as Canadian Prime Minister in 2015, Justin Trudeau planned to secularize government, improve international relationships, and raise taxes on the wealthy to pull Canada out of an economic recession. In Germany, Angela Merkel has reigned as Chancellor for over a decade, and while she has modified her political promises, her goals remain rooted in right wing German Conservatism. As a member of Germany’s Christian Democratic Union and the de facto leader of the European Union, Merkel fights to establish Christianity as a core value for the EU, and believes that Germany can on thrive if Europe thrives (Scholz). Merkel established a flat income tax a staple of her …show more content…
Forcing Merkel to make some controversial decisions to please liberal Germans; however, citizens affectionately call her “Mutti” or mommy because she has steered Europe through social and economic turmoil for over a decade. Merkel fought for a strong European Union, establishing Christianity as a core value along the way, believing that a strong Europe creates a stronger Germany. An anomaly in German politics, Angela Merkel is not only the first East German-born Chancellor and the first woman Chancellor, but she also pushed to enact an unheard-of progressive tax system in 2005. Internationally, Merkel strives for a strong independant Europe, and rejects parasitic trade agreements, such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with United States. Merkel’s international policy puts Europe first, and other countries second, similar to a fascist

Justin Trudeau and Angela Merkel are confusing politicians because while both are considered radical, they often ignore political parties norms and do what is best for their country, continent and the world. Justin Trudeau assumed office as Canadian Prime Minister in 2015 with goals of raising taxes on the wealthy, improving international relationships, and boosting federal spending to pull Canada out of an economic recession. While in Germany, Angela Merkel has reigned as German Chancellor for over a decade, and while she has modified her political promises, her goals remain rooted in right wing German Conservatism. As a member of the Christian Democratic Union party of Germany and de facto leader of the European Union, Merkel has fought to establish Christianity as a core value for the
Some of those challenges still impact our society today. To make up for what the Canadian government has done in the past, Justin Trudeau is giving Indians money which is coming out of our taxes. Doing this shows responsibility and recognition of the things that were intended to do good, but instead ended up ruining a culture. We have given back their land rights as well. Where us Canadians need to draw for tags in order to fish or hunt, Aboriginal People are allowed to take as much as they want, wherever they want because it is part of their culture and survival. When Canadians want to go to post secondary school, we have to pay thousands of dollars. Whereas Aboriginals get a huge portion of their of their education subsidized. The Canadian
Determined: Trudeau is determined to be the leader of Canada for several reasons. Some include: Acquainting a movement with fortifying the middle class through a tax reduction that will profit around 9 million Canadians every year and promising $2.65 billion throughout the following five years to bolster developing nations' move to low-carbon economies that are both greener and more atmosphere versatile. He is putting maximum effort to improve us as a nation and enhance our economy and make lives less demanding for
Trudeau's passion for the issues he believes in is uncanny. He does not lose focus until the job is complete. Therefore, The Prime Minister and the liberal party continually focuses on growing the Canadian economy, supporting small businesses, helping the middle class and the citizens trying to join it. Benefiting the wealthiest 1% allows the negligence of hardworking Canadians and making system fairer for everyone. In a interview with the CBC, Truedeau stated, “ The system as it's set up gives too many benefits to wealthy people and not enough to the people who really need the support.” (CBC 2). To insure the system does not become my unfair to the people who truly need the support. The liberal party and Prime Minister Trudeau have created
The Donald Trump has improved his relationship with Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau when he visited Canada. They build a good relationship between Canada and US. He tried to achieve a mutual agreement on immigration, refuges, trade and climate change topic with pleasant outcome. US trade relationship with Mexico is the biggest concern from Trump in NAFTA where he accused stealing American jobs. Trudeau has strong motivation to build relationship with Trump given rising anti-trade sentiment as 75% of goods from Canada is exports to US. Trump and Trudeau had mutual agreement to continue the border security programs which introduced by former
The reconciliation of Canada’s broken relationship with its indigenous people has been at the forefront of Prime Minister Trudeau’s political agenda. Trudeau has promised reform on a number of fronts. In a recent speech to the United Nations, Trudeau addressed the ongoing mistreatment of Canada’s 1.4 million indigenous people and expressed a strong Canadian commitment to repairing a long history of Aboriginal injustice.
While Prime Minister, Stephen Harper is credited with uniting the Conservative party, there are others who don’t like his authoritative, almost dictatorship manners. While he has scored a few points, Harper has also taken many hits with scandals and dark whispers of public mistrust and wrongdoings. Since change is always the big “C” word that ominously threatens every election, causing surprises and upsets; it is doubtful our election will come close to matching the pernicious back-biting, infighting and nail-biting the amped-up U.S. presidential campaign is already delivering.

Related to politics, high conceptual skills involves begin about to use ideas and policies to effectively guide a nation to future goals. Further, conceptual skills in politics necessitate a need to be able to be able to effectively explain these ideas and policies to other leaders and constituents. Chancellor Merkel displays high conceptual skills, as exhibited by her current involvement in trying to alleviate the European debt crisis. As noted in the New York Times recently, “The Federal Constitutional Court in Germany gave Chancellor Angela Merkel a significant victory on Wednesday in her bid to master the debt crisis that has buffeted the Continent for years and endangered its common currency, granting approval to one of the main pillars of her strategy” (Kulish). Further, Merkel possess the ability to explain her ideas effectively, which can be show by her heavy involvement in negotiations for different debt relief plans in this year’s G8 summit (Rinke). Also,
Along with every other nation around the globe, Germany has its own unique past. From the days previous to Bismarck to present time, the Germans have undergone significant trials and tribulations. Unfortunately for Germany the world will forever equate German history with Hitler and the Third Reich. As educated people, we need to be able to get past this stigma and appreciate the Germans for who they truly are. After the ending of the Second World War, Germany was divided in two: a free western Germany, and the communist East Germany. West Germany flourished while East Germany struggled to breathe under the heavy shadow of the Soviet Union. In 1990, after the Berlin Wall fell, Germany finally became one again with the union of East
As The Economist (September 28th 2013) says, Angela Merkel won a landslide victory and became the chancellor of Germany for the third time. The crisis gave us a hard time and most big European countries dumped their leaders during this period. However, Angela Merkel again proved to be a leader that most people follow and admire. Is it purely because she does things right for her people? Or does it rather spark from her personality, including her behavioral, communication skills or influential authority? This paper will elaborate ideas on what makes Germany’s chancellor such a powerful leader and by using psychological theories it will lead the reader to defining the leadership style Ms. Merkel exercises.
Angela Merkel is the Chancellor of Germany. Last fall, she was elected to her third term as chancellor of Germany, making her one of the only two European Union leaders that survived the economic crisis (The Guardian, 2013). Angela Merkel was named by Forbes in 2014 as the most powerful women in the world (Forbes, 2014). Angela Merkel’s leadership style is pragmatic and methodical (The Guardian, 2013). Anne Applebaum (2013) states “She reigns. She doesn’t tell people what to do, she doesn’t give orders, and she isn’t bossy or pushy. She doesn’t throw Germany’s weight around or make demands. She simply sets parameters, and then lets everybody else make ‘choices’ themselves.” Merkel’s leadership style is prudent, democratic, and modest. Merkel prefers discussion, deliberation and consensus (Zeeb, 2013). The Germans call her “Mutti” (mummy), because she understands what her country wants and makes sure her country gets it (Zeeb, 2013 & The Guardian, 2013). Angela Merkel is a no nonsense leader that is well respected.
From this statement I feel as though Merkel is very direct and to the point- there is no point in arguing, let’s do something about it. At the same time Merkel puts emphasis on leader-member relations. Previous chancellor Schroeder was known for his extravagant sleigh rides with
