If they actually release the complete unredacted files, I'm all for it.

Don't worry robo you will still be able to post here just like a dictater. You can use this......

Seriously though, that was a really tight game. Could have gone either way. Binnington made an amazing save on Brady. That was a good tournament. Far better and more emotional than the all-star game. I kinda miss Russia at these international things though.

Thats one hell of a statement because Justin has spent more than any other PM in history, including our war years....Not sure where the money is coming from, maybe the budget will balance itself but this guy is a banker he should have a plan right, only three ways to spend new money, cut some place, or raise taxes, or just add it to our national debt like justin did...It seems like the liberals will just keep printing money until the bank is broke....so much for inflation control, sound monetary policies, for which bankers are known for....its spend like a drunken sailor... I'm starting to think this is the guy we need in charge, to finish off where Justin left us...Broke... Matthew Lau: Carney's spending plan would put even Trudeau to shame

Mark Carney british jobs, as explain by British PM at the time, she does not paint a very good picture....infact he is a disaster for the UK....This is the guy we want running our country...This is only going to tighten up liberals voters, he is the new god great hair , but no socks....Brits giving us a warning....

You love government overreach and authoritarianism, robomarx, so I don't see why you're crying.

There will never be any Canadian unity as long as Quebec is involved. Quebec and their horde of parasitic 'elites' . . . and the Ontario wankers that cater to them with other provinces tax/transfer/equalization $$'s

Canada's Bottom?

I"m asking google to change it to the 'united states of Canada". I was going to go with "lower canada" but didn't just in case mexico joins, i mean what would we call them then? Basement Canada? Slightly lower than lower Canada? Bottom Canada?

Please provide evidence that you are never deceived. Sweetie

Yes. I did. Three times. Once in the first article and two more times in replies. Rule #2 wasn't working so he went to rule #3. Someone is getting called Hitler here soon.

Some Republicans are speaking out, but without actually criticizing Trump “Make no mistake about it: That invasion was the responsibility of one human being on the face of this planet. It was Vladimir Putin,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) said, referring to the Russian president. Tillis also said there is no “equivalency” between Putin and Zelensky. “Russia is the aggressor; there’s no question about that,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota). “[Trump] can speak for himself, but in my view there is no question who started the war.” “When it comes to blame for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I blame Putin above all others,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) posted on X. About the only one to address Trump head-on was Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-Louisiana). “Here’s where I disagree with the White House,” Kennedy said, adding: “I think Vladimir Putin started the war. I also believe, through bitter experience, that Vladimir Putin is a gangster. He’s a gangster with a black heart. He makes Jeffrey Dahmer look like Mother Teresa. He has Stalin’s taste for blood.” Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said, “I would certainly never refer to President Zelensky as a dictator,” Sen. Mike Rounds (R-South Dakota) called Zelensky the “duly elected” president of Ukraine. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she disagreed with that characterization. “I think he’s factually wrong on those points,” Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-North Dakota) told NOTUS, adding that Trump might have certain motives for this misinformation. “As a negotiator he’s always positioning and he’s in a negotiating mood these days.” Perhaps the most robust rebuke came from a member of the House, Rep. Don Bacon (R-Nebraska), who ticked through Trump’s claims and picked them apart them one by one in an X post. “Putin started this war,” Bacon said. “Putin committed war crimes. Putin is the dictator who murdered his opponents. The EU nations have contributed more to Ukraine. Zelensky polls over 50%. Ukraine wants to be part of the West, Putin hates the West. I don’t accept George Orwell’s doublethink.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/02/19/republicans-rebuke-trump-ukraine-gently/

We might not be in this tariff mess if Trudeau had resigned before Trump took office. Trudeau hung on for the sake of vanity. Canadians are paying the price. Having said that, while Trump may have a special loathing for Justin, the tariff threat is directed at multiple countries. Trump should consider the following as he seeks to apply might is right force to make gains for America in a zero-sum game: "You can mandate behavioral changes in authoritarian, command- and-control cultures. People will behave in prescribed ways, but their behavior will be compliance behavior, in response to an external source of authority. Compliance will last only as long as force is applied. And force most often fuels resistance and reinforces the attitudes and beliefs that it seeks to change." —Linda Ellinor and Glenna Gerard (1998, p. 122)

This should be good. Didn't the left say Trump was good buddies with Epstein? This just seems like a weird thing to do to a guy you like.

Looks very much like this war will end very much as I'd predicted a long time ago.

Why would Trump even care if he's mentioned in these documents at this point? The Supreme court has made him immune from all prosecution. He'd probably just brag about how alpha he is that he's able to sleep with minors and get away with it.

He's not even a normal banker. Normal bankers work more closely with businesses and must plan for risk. He's a federal banker, Bank of Canada Bank of England. And thanks like that are not the same and If you screw up those few consequences and you can always print a little more money. He's like a banker playing on the tutorial mode who's never had any political experience and it's showing like crazy and all of his interviews. I mean the guy literally word for word said that steel manufacturers wouldn't pass on a carbon tax to the consumer because the average person doesn't buy steel. That statement alone should be sending enough chills up people's spines to keep a six pack cold for a month

This is your dumb argument being applied here. I don't care if you label it as a protesting action, that doesn't change my argument. OK, this doesn't change anything. You were trying to say his refusing orders was the issue... no, his being there was the issue, calling it silently praying or protesting, same difference, the issue was his silently praying. The fact that it is illegal is not in contention here, that is the whole point of the discussion, to point out how absurd that is. Yes, I have. Its a violation of basic free speech principles just because you don't want someone to get their feelings hurt. I already pointed out several times now, that if your position here is that speech should be curtailed for peoples feelings, there is almost no limit to what you make illegal as long as the majority has the power to do it, so be it. And once again, as you keep ignoring, it is more than just standing near the clinic, it is that peoples whose homes are too close were also threatened with similar law, where they can't do anything on their own property or in their own homes here.

Well old chap that's a meaty looking ignore. You forgot the HP sauce.

Of course all references to Trump being involved with underage sex will NOT BE RELEASED. Probably BURNED.

Before anyone would ever believe that you will need to show evidence of the above act, in triplicate, and observing Booleans distributive law.

@Hodad see how they post blubbering lDIOCY when they can't refute your points? As if being upset about LIES TOLD is a pejorative. Pathological LIARS are never upset about being told LIES. 🤮 IN FACT they are here posting and defending LIES.

If he wasn't the richest guy, he'd just be a guy or gal. What does rich have to do with it? You use that term like it is disqualifying. I would posit that rich would be eminently qualifying. He's clearly good with money. He's clearly good at managing large organizations. He's the person on this planet that has the closest personal experience of managing money on that scale. What about being the richest man on the planet disqualifies him from recommending changes to make the government more efficient?

Why would we assume she relied on his advice? Carney's tenure as the governor of BoE was spent arguing against most of the UK government's economic policy, especially Brexit (which Truss supported). The reality is that Truss is a near-universal laughingstock with zero credibility, who resigned from the PM's office within 45 days after tabling one of the dumbest budgets the UK had ever seen. Any criticism she has to offer for anyone on economic policy is worth a cat's wet fart.

Maybe get a handle on your 36 trillion debt first.

"treason" in that view means resisting a treasonous collusion with the worst dictator in the modern world. When you know who Vlad Putin is, you also know who those who condone him, pet him, want to get cozy with him are as well. It works exactly the same as with Hitler. So no relativism, and zero ambiguity. You know exactly who you're dealing with.

100% Biden was President when Putin invaded. 100% Biden watched for months as Russia built up an invasion. 100% Biden could have and should have done more BEFORE the invasion to prevent, discourage, and thwart it. Putin certainly did not invade on Trumps watch.

Lmao...oh, so if we just demand it, it'll happen eh? Why didn't Joe do that? Well, we know why. A demand will do nothing. Hell, the left has been demanding it from the start. Nope, the only way to make Russia leave is to make Russia leave. F35s, Blackhawk, Tanks, troops, the whole 9 yards. Is that peace? No. What Russia did was awful. The question is, how much are we willing to sacrifice to impose our will? Are you going to go fight them? Are you willing to send your family members ro go fight them? Are you willing to risk WWIII and/or nuclear war? I will never say that negotiating an end is the perfect solution. It might be the best solution we have though. I definitely won't decry a deal that hasn't been made either.

The Gulf of Canada has a nice ring to it.

Ukraine is out of soldiers. The Ukrainian people have no more stomach for war. They are having more desertions this winter than at any other time in the war, and now they're like a horse that smells the barn because Trump said he would bring peace and that's all the people care about now. Ukraine can say that they won their independence, Russia can say that they gained territory, Russia can say that they staved off NATO in Ukraine, and all of the people who are still alive get to keep on living. As long as they all feel like they won something, who cares who's right about any of that? The f'ing war is over. Let them all crow. Yay for everyone. That war was so worth it 👎 As I think we can agree, this war was an absolute tragedy for everyone doing the actual fighting from start to finish. As to the powers behind those fighting the war, I think an agreement may finally be in reach soon. Unlike Biden et al, who were deeply entrenched in the Ukraine war gravy train, Trump has no such ties, as far as I know. As an indication of this, I just read that as soon as Trump came into office, he stopped the United States' support of bombing Russia: ** since January 20, the new president’s inauguration, there have been no attacks on Russia with American HIMARS and ATACMS missiles. The assumption is that Kiev received such an order from Trump, who replaced and fired people who dealt with Ukrainian issues in the State Department and the Pentagon. ** Source: Even with Western aid drying up, corruption continues to flourish in Ukraine | infobrics.org As a result of Trump's lack of ties to Ukraine's gravy train, he has no reason to continue funding it. Combined with the fact that Ukraine's soldier count is severely depleted, I think any reasonble person must conclude that this war can't last much longer.

Amen. As to your questions: 1- Nothing but a lucrative gravy train for certain elites in Ukraine. 2- Biden was in on the gravy train. 3- To keep the gravy train going. A good article on these points was published on infobrics on February 3rd: Even with Western aid drying up, corruption continues to flourish in Ukraine | Infobrics It may not be perfect [I snipped a paragraph that didn't make sense to me], but I think it gets most of the story right. Quoting from it: ** The deep-rooted corruption in Ukraine began to surface after it became clear that the Kiev regime was losing the war. Although the West used a corrupt Ukraine to attack and weaken Russia, the Westerners themselves now look for an alibi for the defeat and to distance themselves from their proxy after ignoring the total corruption of the Kiev regime due to the ambitions of certain leaders to inflict as much damage as possible on Russia. Cracks have begun to appear in the relations between the allies due to corruption, and Ukraine accuses its Western partners of using corruption accusations as an excuse not to admit the country to NATO and the EU. Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe today, but the West continued to support Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky uncritically until Donald Trump raised the issue due to then-US President Joe Biden sending American taxpayers’ money to Ukraine. It was then discovered that the Kiev regime was giving part of that money to Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden. Hunter Biden, in turn, sent that money to his father, who, at the end of his term, issued a decree on Hunter’s preventive pardon. Trump is now conducting a “special financial operation,” which will include both the Pentagon and Ukraine, to determine where the money went. For this reason, Trump has suspended the US aid program to Ukraine for 90 days, suggesting that there is evidence of financial mismanagement and theft of US taxpayer money. Biden’s last decrees also indicate corruption related to Ukraine. Besides Hunter, Joe Biden issued preventive pardons for his brothers and their wives, as well as for his sister and her husband. It was not clear why and for what reason. However, there was no information about the existence of any criminal offenses and so on. In Kiev, the main culprit behind these corruption schemes is Zelensky, who officially has a monthly salary of 28,000 hryvnias, about $664. Undoubtedly, he has other income because he bought a house for his parents and in-laws, a yacht, and more. According to media reports, Zelensky purchased a villa in Italy and acquired an estate in Britain—the former residence of King Charles and Princess Diana—while Zelensky’s wife has an apartment in London. In addition, the couple owns real estate in Cyprus and Miami. This, according to some sources, is not a complete list. An Egyptian journalist who wrote about the purchase of the Italian villa in the name of Zelensky’s mother-in-law, worth almost $5 million, was found dead under unclear circumstances. As for the castle in the UK, these allegations are made by Ukrainian sources and still need to be verified. However, there is nothing secret that does not become public, and the Trump administration is certainly monitoring the movement of money. Friends, godfathers, and relatives of Ukrainian officials are also getting rich quickly because property is being purchased in their names. Corruption in Ukraine is flourishing at all levels, and Ukrainian officials are issuing directives to journalists not to write about it until the war is over because it is bad for the country, as it may be left without Western aid. Sooner or later, everything will come to light. The Trump administration will likely have all the information and initiate criminal proceedings by now. It is no coincidence that Zelensky is now saying that Ukraine does not have the strength to capture the lost territories. This statement seems to indicate a radical change in Kiev’s position and a renunciation of unrealistic goals to “return to the 1991 borders.” The reason for this is that Western aid is drying up. [snip] Zelensky was a puppet managed by the West and was under the control of British intelligence. This is evidenced by the fact that in the spring of 2022, Zelensky annulled the Istanbul Peace Accords on the directive of then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, even though he had a chance to stop the war that would have prevented Ukraine from losing more territory and preserved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. However, he instead decided to continue to fight on the promise that billions of dollars would flow endlessly, a prospect that Zelensky could not resist as an opportunity to further enrich himself and those closest to him. **

Americans are American but we do not get along. And sticking your head in the sand is no way to deal with a crisis. That's how Justin Trudeau got us into this mess

They're more like a territory that everyone forgets the name of. Nunavit? And the whatty what? And what are the capitals again? And what's that crime riddled territory down south again...? The United States of Suthern Canada? (We will be magnanimous enough to let them take the O out of southern)

And in Hockey News:

I couldn't pick two, but policy is definitely the project 2025 playbook (behind the scenes operatives) while Musk is serving his own interests. Trump does not read or understand policy in the slightest. He couldn't even tell you what these agencies and actions do.

What did Ukraine gain from defending itself from being annexed by Putin? Well, they still exist as a free people. If they could go back in time and somehow Putin didn't invade in sure they'd be all for it. And yes, Trump is trying to "end" the war in Ukraine exactly how he ended the war in Afghanistan: by simply abandoning the Democratic governments to be devoured by oppressive authoritarian regimes. Watching you struggle to understand why a free people would fight for their freedom is almost pitiable. Having values and principles--believing that some things are worth fighting for--is as foreign to you as a the concept of color to a blind person.

Putin INVADING was NOT Ukraine's choice, lDIOT. And no matter how many times you DEFEND Putin and blame ANYONE ELSE, IT WILL NOT CHANGE THAT FACT.

When the US defends a client state and then suddenly reverses course, treats them like an enemy, and sides with their invader--obviously other allies and client states will then feel less secure. In this case the client state was literally invaded by Russia attempting to expand their empire. It's the whole point of NATO originally to be a bulwark against Russian imperialism. So our nation's sudden disinterest in doing that is seen as a portent of things to come. With Russias military industry picking up and trump team saying the US will now have a backseat role in NATO, they now have every incentive to strike elsewhere sooner rather than later.

Robo, I already told you that Biden had a chance to end this war with zero deaths, and Ukraine's border wouldn't have changed, and the US wouldn't have wasted $300 billion. I already told you that there's no way that Russia was going to give back all the land they lost in a costly war. NO ONE DOES THAT. Guess what people do when they're losing a war dumbass... they surrender. Ukraine wasn't going to win all that land back themselves, and no one wants to go to war against Russia. 1) To be fair, the opposition members were kicked out of government, and Zelensky seized control of all the media outlets in the country. 2) Hitler and Trudeau were elected too...

Immigration has been making the US stronger for hundreds of years. It's always been disliked by bigots but the alleged dangers of it have always been and continue to be mostly imaginary.

😂 So they say. They haven't earned trust, yet, to get broad acceptance of their claims. Meanwhile, Trump's dirty charity was dissolved by a COURT. 😂

This is the dumbest, most opposite-of-reality comment I've ever read.

I honestly don't believe there's any doubt that Kamala would have been worse. It may not have been immediately apparent but the actual damage probably would be deeper and farther. Trump may be having a moment right now but that impart is because he knows he's probably going to run into trouble in the midterms. I suspect he'll settle down and start worrying about running the country before too long. He's going to have to worry about a couple of things. First, he's driving government spending and economic factors as if he were driving a speedboat rather than a super tanker which is a lot more accurate. That tends to lead to a lot of instability and if he's not careful he could see inflation or economic slowdown as a result. Some stocks have already taken a pretty brutal hit. And that's if there aren't tariffs or the like. Laying off massive numbers of government workers, cutting back government spending radically and suddenly and making people fearful for their jobs all have very negative effects on the economy and can lead to economic slowdown at least in the short term. People voted for him to get rid of inflation and bring back good jobs and wages and if they see it going the opposite way that will not be good And the second thing is the tariffs and trade relationships are going to wind up being a killer for him if they get out of control. It will turn an unstable economic situation into an absolute economic disaster with high inflation and underperforming growth. And you could have some very serious long-term consequences, Canada is already getting very serious about diversifying away from America and other countries will feel the same. It's not like anybody will refuse to sell to or buy from America anymore, But it will be a drag on their economy that can last a long time. We'll see. You can't really judge his effectiveness until after the first year

Shocked. Shocked I am.

Don't ever get it into your head I don't know more than you do about virtually everything. Says the guy who thinks FOX and Breitbart are unbiased news sources. I wouldn't call Putin a Nazi, necessarily, though I'm sure his policies and behaviour closely mirror those in many ways. Are you talking about Trump? I wouldn't call him a Nazi either, just a lazy, ignorant old geriatric authoritarian coasting downhill as his dementia grows deeper.

I have a son with autism.. This bullying that you speak of must be something that you cherry pick from the internet. As for answers, blaming meds that one takes at minimum 8 years after being born and thinking that explains the condition... that is simply special. So you admit to viewing propaganda as objective fact that can be trusted.. That tells me a lot about you. In short, you seek affirmation not information.

it's all in the mind as an instructor at Battleschool, I've seen many super fit athletic types fall to the side of the road and quit I've seen many out of shape pack a day smokers keep going no matter what we threw at them it's all about esprit de corps ; how bad do you want to be just another face in the ranks of the thin red line ?
