You specifically denied that Islamic culture is in any way centuries behind: Then you provided 2 examples of your claim, specifically saying that they were just EXAMPLES of the many other ways Islam is only a few decades behind. I think I comprehended what you were saying just fine. If you'd like to amend your initial claim, you are, of course, welcome to.

I always found it nauseating Turkey is able to use its strategic geographic location to remain in NATO as a supposed buffer against Putin. As for Trump looking the other way about the Prince in Saudi Arabia do the same people that accuse the US of looking the other way mention how Putin gave him that grand handshake one psycho to the other? They both kill their political opponents. So does the head of China, Erdogan and the council in Iran and General or is it Colonel Sisi in Egypt aint exacly a pussy cat. The fact is the whole world is full of psychos and leftists only select the ones they don't like. It is inexcusable any nation approves of what China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Russia, North Korea do. However with Trump a compromised cripple worried that Putin will expose pictures of him in his diapers being pissed on by Melania, we have no leadership from the Western world. Marcon? May? Trudeau? Weaklings. Crippled weaklings. The West has been without a true leader since Ronald Reagan died. I didn't much like Reagan but he stood up to China and Russia. Since his death its all been toothless Western leaders. Bush Sr. and Clinton were knee deep in Chinese kick back contracts, Bush Jr. was controlled by Haliburton. Obama was clearly someone's idea of a Muslim Brotherhood stooge the US could control to control Middle East extremism and that blew up in the CIA's face. US Army Intelligence reluctantly backed Trump. The other choice was the corrupted Clinton. Now the Joint Chiefs of Staff have bailed on Trump. Out went Mad Dog the Defence Minister and Kelly the White House head, and now not one old time military man is there to control Trump. They all have bailed on him. He's either assassinated or out of office. They are circling in on his kids to make a deal to not put them in jail if he leaves. Pence is knee deep in Russia collusion so just who is left? The only coherent spokesperson in Trump's office to date was Nicki Haley. They could rush her in to replace Pence and then Trump which is what some are rumouring. All I know is with all that instability Russia will do what the hell it wants.

Apparently you don't live in Canada. If you did, you wouldn't have to ask why many people oppose JT. He obtained power in a triumph of image over substance. He tends to mindlessly mimic left-lib ideology without much reference to realities faced by ordinary people on the ground. He's from the elites but mouths his concerns about the struggles faced by the middle class without much detailed understanding or knowledge of those struggles. He's an ardent supporter of globalism without acknowledging its deeply deleterious impacts on developed economies, not the least of which are its impact on the very middle class he purports to favor. He thinks the system just needs a little tweaking, mainly in the form of subsidy programs, to work properly. He's promotes large-scale immigration without acknowledging that statistics strongly suggest the most recent generation of immigrants is underperforming in comparison to previous generations, likely due to that little globalism thing that has served to undermine wages. It's easier for him, however, to challenge concerns about immigration with accusations of racism and/or various phobias, a tactic that's become tiresome. But he soldiers on, repeating bromides about supposed labour shortages, despite stagnant wages, and the need for immigration to address a so-called "demographic deficit," both of which are highly speculative notions. And all of that is just for starters. Trudeau intensely and proudly lacks curiosity, admitting that he doesn't follow the news. His certainty emerges from a preconceived set of beliefs that he simply refuses to subject to criticism or objective analysis. And, to top it all off, he's a terrible communicator who can read prepared and rehearsed speeches but can't think on his feet or coherently speak extemporaneously. I think a more insightful question you might ask is why on earth many voters continue to support Trudeau?

Mr. O'Leary continues to visit the USA on a regular basis, and is popular in U.S. media. Mr. Trudeau, after a feverish pace of 17 PM visits to the U.S., has slowed down his cross border journeys quite a bit, having realized that he is not the Trump Whisperer after all. For a while there it was hard to keep his ass out of the U.S.

Lol. Comrade you need to tell your beloved leader to get the phack out of the Ukraine which includes Crimea, Georgia, and Syria to start before you rant about Texas.

Trump has no clue how to deal with China (or anything) and Navarro is an idiot. Open confrontation will never get anything from them because giving in will lose them face. They'd rather just wait him out. And they have the patience to do so. You need to apply pressure quietly, in specific areas where it will hurt the most, while denying, with mock innocence, that you're targeting them at all.

Dealing with China requires a united front. Unfortunately, Trump's go it alone policy regarding China and his attacks on friendly nations have made that very difficult. Ideally China should be confronted by the EU, the United States, and Canada working together, but with Trump's bull-in-a-china-shop diplomacy that is probably not possible until he is replaced. That means waiting until 2021 at the earliest.

I'm part of a secret liberal 'culture target' demolition crew. We are actually the ones who started 'Happy Holidays' and got Soros to fund the Starbucks cup that removed baby Jesus from the manger. Next phase of the plan is to have people wishing each other 'Happy Sojourn', to have government mandate flexible stat holidays, to work with PETA to emphasize the donkey and other manger animals, and to promote a non-materialistic holiday with fewer presents. We will also merge with Hannukah. I am so confident in the mainstream media's hold on the public that I can publicize our plan here in the full knowledge that it will get zero coverage.

Ahhhhhhh, it's a full-on jihad against an unbeliever. Haha, OK.

So let's forget about the Russia Investigation and the crimes Trump has committed. It really looks like he's trying to get impeached. How do you ignore the advice of your hand picked Defence Secretary and give up Syria to Russia and Iran? HOW?!?!?! If that isn't evidence that he's in the pocket of Putin, I don't know what is. And then, yesterday, he stabs Mitch McConnell in the back and flip flops on a spending Bill because Rush and Ann said mean to stuff to him on TV. He couldn't get funding for the Wall on the floor of Congress during his first two years and now on the Eve of losing the House he throws a Temper Tantrum and is about to shut down the government on CHRISTMAS!!!!! How do Senate Republicans not stand up to this crazy man? I can see them meeting with Pence to ask him to take control of the Party while they still have a party to salvage. BTW to a certain member that resents Canadians commenting on American Policy. This is why we do it. This drama is fascinating!!!! The 2008 attempted coupe of Parliament has nothing on this shit.

You are being too hard on yourself. I am just a composite of all of the people in my life - and that includes many of the thoughtful and well informed posters on this site - such as you. Seasons Greetings to all.

Mr. Sheer is the only possible candidate to defeat Prime Minister Trudeau. As long as he holds close to the centre and continues to avoid any gaffs, he could pull it off. Basically, Prime Minister Trudeau has to defeat himself. If Ms. Ambrose was still leader, it would have been a slam dunk.

Maybe, but that still doesn't explain subsidies to the fuel industry.

We could elect a steaming pile of shit as PM and it could do nothing but attract flies for the next 4 years and it would still be a substantive improvement.
