All you Canadian MAGAs... How do ya like donald now. You know, i hate to say "I told you so" You cant say you werent warned donald was a piece of dog excrement. But yall insisted on nuzzling your noses right up donalds pimpled buttocks. Now that same felon you were warned about multiple times is actively f__king with you. *Tarrifs *Threatening to force yall to become one of our states. *Threatening to re-draw the Canadian border in our favor. I mean, he's b_tch slapping yall like you are red headed step children. I told you so!!

I'm recalling the image of a cowed Trump in the White House meeting the Taliban in all their majesty. I assure you he didn't dare critique their choice of clothing before surrendering to them.

Point of order. The US treats its enemies with respect, and even admiration. Whether that's Putin, Xi, Un, or even the Taliban, that Trump had to the white house. It's only its allies it treats like garbage.

Trump and Vance struck me as very crude and rude. No diplomacy at all. It was a staged ambush with the media invited in. That is not the way to find peace and solve world problems. It is very uncivilized and barbaric behavior. Canada has been receiving that kind of insulting rude behavior. The government is wise in that it is keeping a low profile. Canadians realize you don't try to argue with a mad man.

Did you just change your shirt?

Trump can negotiate whatever he wants, just like he did with Ukraine/Russia in 2019. When a ret4rd like Biden starts monkeying with the levers of power in the WH, and changes all of America's plans and attitudes, along with everyone else's perception of America's strength, everything falls apart like a deck of cards. And that's not Trump's fault. There are a lot of working parts in a successful negotiation, and just pulling one or two parts out disrupts any working mechanism, biological or mechanical. Your car can't run without a _______ (name almost anything there). Your body can't survive without a _______ (name almost anything there).

Weakness in action. Dictators know they just have to hold on a few years and the Americans will tire of the fighting and give in. What did they accomplish in Vietnam? Nothing. They surrendered and the Communists took full control. Same thing in Afghanistan. They also gave up on Iraq. And now they've given up on Ukraine. Where will Putin push next with the 100 brigades he's currently got fighting the Ukrainians? Western Europe can maybe muster three or four. Add Poland and it's maybe a dozen. Ukraine has fifty. And if Russia takes Ukraine then those fifty eventually wind up adding to Russian power while the West goes to sleep again and the Americans tear themselves apart over pronouns and gender arguments (in no small part incited by Russian and Chinese propaganda and paid bots).

Trump is doing with Putin tells him to do for fear of Putin releasing all the information he has on Trump's money laundering and sanctions busting for Russian oligarchs before he became President. What a weird idea that it is the Left that wants to stop the Russians from taking over Europe.

Tonight we attended the debate of the immoral liberal candidates because the hostages are the Palestinian population and the terrorists are not Hamas but the Israeli army and all the liberal candidates denied it for love of the money of the Jews.

But all of those were to contain Russia not to support it. And none ever supported Russian aggression against another country especially a European one while simultaneously waging economic warfare against those western countries. Sure you can. Incompetent dictator. History is full of examples.

Vile like Putin you mean? You'll excuse the Republican's association with the Tates till the cows come home too won't you?

Liberals are professional liars and they can never be trusted with anything they say. The CBC should be abolished along with the liberal party. Those two only exist to keep the lies flowing and keep the theft going of taxpayer's tax dollars and incompetence alive. Carney is just another WEF globalist shill who says or does what Klaus or Fink tells him to say. Canada is being held prisoner by the WEF globalists thanks in part to our dear political leaders. This is why we must get the conservative party to win the next election. Otherwise, it will be the WEF globalist woke and broke agenda for Canada if any of those liberal buffoons running for the liberal leadership. We only have one shot left to save Canada from the WEF. Just saying.

That the Liberal Party even has a chance is amazing to me. They have done all they can to utterly destroy Canadian prosperity and people still consider them viable?

Why WOULD it be part of the Mueller report? Well outside the scope. The reality is that Trump is a Russian stooge, and even when the family tells you that's where their bread is buttered, you'll bend over to pretend it's not true.

The fun of stll snivelling over past hurts so much later means any links are so far down the search links no one will bother to corroborate to prove or contest. You're free to post preposterous lies without being called out for it.

And yet, none of that made it into the Mueller report. Now, why do you think the report that was designed to find Russian connections didn't report a single loan? You need to drop the emotion and see reality.

Hey, Trudeau could be pretty nasty in his own right. Just ask any of his female cabinet members who dared to question his decisions.

Yes and the CBC has become the propaganda arm of activist causes that don’t align with what most Canadians would consider fair. I thought that the attack on Buffy Saint Marie was another example of cancellation by presumption. Someone who brought attention to Indigenous cultures and mistreatment was deemed a pretendian and publicly ruined. All on the basis of some contestable accounts and opinions. How many others has the CBC destroyed? It’s more than Don Cherry.

Oh, fark right off. Trump IS visibly and vocally on "one side of the fence." It just happens to be Russia's side, as it always has been. When the US banks stopped lending to Trump, Eric helpfully told the world that it was okay, because they had all the money they needed from Russia. Trump will always take Russia's side. He sided with Russia against his own intelligence agencies, FFS. Putin owns him.

His cabal is officially in charge of running the country but they’re incompetent, unqualified and disorganized. Already there’s infighting and contradictory messages coming from different areas. There’s no coherent policy or doctrine, just random half-baked pronouncements popping up by surprise as all the hacks, grifters and know-nothings in his administration jockey for power and try to push their own agendas and self-interest. And it’s barely been a month.

I wonder though if Canadians are willing to buy into the delusion that the Liberals are continuing to sell, which is that Canada can ignore basic economic realities like the impact of growing debt and public spending, ignore the defence of the country, slam the country’s once-proud history, and juice the growth numbers by using mass immigration to create the appearance of growth as actual per person GDP falls. The Liberals keep repackaging the same irresponsible plan, yet somehow enough Canadians are willing to buy the lie if the messenger does a flashy enough sell job. That’s how I see what’s happening with Carney. He is another elitist insider who has been supporting the current Liberal government’s agenda for years. Poilievre isn’t flashy and he isn’t part of the global corporate inner circle. Yes he’s been an MP a long time, but he never had a key cabinet position in Conservative government. He’s less of an insider in some ways than Trump, who has gamed media and real estate branding for decades. Poilievre’s challenge is that he’s telling the true, important story that many Canadians don’t want to hear because it requires abandoning their delusion that Canada can continue to overspend, over govern, and ignore the defence of the country, both militarily and culturally. I think we may have to wait through more years of foolish policy following this deluded model before Canadians finally realize what a paper tiger or white elephant the country has become. It’s exactly this delusion which has made us more vulnerable to foreign influence than ever before. Continuing down the path of this delusion will eventually reduce the number of options before us, because we won’t be bargaining on trade from a position of strength. We’ll have fewer resources to defend Canadian sovereignty. The Liberals are essentially trying to repackage themselves as the Conservatives but with a better known international name as the front man, the same guy who has been flogging the Trudeau delusional model. He might actually get away with it. Trump is unfortunately encouraging this delusion to persist by not really mentioning or criticizing Carney. I think it’s a big mistake for MAGA because if Trump’s plan is to squeeze Canada financially until it screams uncle and joins the U.S., he will have a Democrat electorate to absorb. Instead, he should accept that Canada isn’t ready or willing to join the U.S. in the near future, using economic force against Canada will only breed contempt for his movement, and there’s a much wiser path that’s beneficial to both countries if Canada takes a conservative turn, gets its finances, defence, and cultural narrative in order, and forges an economic union with the U.S. that grants the benefits that the citizens of both countries want: unfettered access to both markets and freedom of employment and residence in both countries. Really at that point the U.S. has unlimited access to Canada without having to absorb it politically. Canada gets unlimited access to the US without having to abdicate its sovereignty and control over federal policy. The Conservatives can move the country towards more responsible government and strengthening the country so that we have more credibility and independence to fall back on in negotiations on trade and arrangements with the U.S. The Conservatives actually believe in Canada’s cultural legacy. The Liberals slam Canada publicly while claiming to stand up for it. All Trudeau can say about what makes Canada unique is that we’re not American. Why? Because he’s denigrated our history and emphasized a UN Chicom “Post National State.” The idea that Carney is a radical departure from the party he advised is a stretch and a big gamble for Canadians.

Barbara Stanwyck? She was a female Gary Cooper. But Shelly Winters always onfused me.

Who knows? But it's not "no big deal." You can't bring yourself to admit that he didn't say what you cllaimed. You were impressed by a BULLY castigating the leader of an allied country who's desperately in need of help to defend his country? Do you believe that took ANY courage for those 2 numbnuts to yell at Zelenskyy? Or accomplished anything useful other than to Putin? Both of them put on a despicable display of HUBRIS. Why are you in bed with Putin?

And they will find what they want to find with nothing to back it up.

LOL well i guess carney will have that on her Not that it was a real leadership race,

And our government debt to GDP ratio is the lowest amongst the G7. I thank Chretien-Martin, and Harper.

I strongly disagree. 1. Without civil war, our federal State has existed for far more than four score years. 2. We have two federal official languages. We get along. 3. In all means, we are no longer a monarchy.

Ah but I'm actually an Earthling in same place you are, directly over the center of it. Act like it yourself.

I do not trust most Canadians in the next election. They are just stupid enough to vote the liberals back in power. This is what happens when so many Canadians do not pay attention to what is going on in their country. The only time they get involved in politics is at election time, and they like to pretend that they know everything there is to know about politics. After the election is over, they go back to bed. See you in 5 years. All we have ever gotten from the French socialist liberals from Quebec is lies, bullshit, corruption and incompetence. They have destroyed what should have become the most wealthiest and prosperous country on earth. We should be all filthy rich, but instead, we are now woke and broke. Leave it to the French socialists from Quebec to destroy a great country and turn it into ruins. 👎

Trump doesn't give a shit about America. Trump cares about Trump and ONLY Trump. America's military policy for generations has been to confront those who are certain to be their enemies far from their shores before they can get too close. In the case of the Soviets, it was to confront them wherever they sought power, to prevent them from getting more powerful. Too powerful. A secondary objective of American power is to protect America's access to raw resources it needs to power industry. They're in the process of losing most of that now. China and Russia own much of Africa now, and China is making deep inroads into South America. They will have priority for resources. A third purpose is to protect allies who can be useful in offsetting the power of powers hostile to the US, and provide markets for American goods. Trump is in the process of throwing all of that away and reducing America's power and influence to just its own borders.

Jesus, you're ignorant.

You don't get to have alternate facts. By daring to defend a country attacked without provocation by a murdering butcher, you mean? Because Trump is Putin's puppet, you mean?

Zelenskyy has a 57% approval rating. You've got to stop believing FOS LIES and/or pathological LIAR Trump. Are you really stupid enough to believe a foreign invasion is NOT a national emergency? LMAO

I haven't bet on the Russians I simply note that they are unable to invade and occupy Ukraine hence they are not actually a threat to invade nor occupy Western Europe so no reason to invoke the Domino Theory all over again no, he admits that he supported the Iraq War at the time

after the American backed overthrow of the elected government, the local proxies consolidated power then several Oblasts in the Donbass revolted against the that regime in Kiev

The poll is anonymous, no need to worry about Trudeau throwing you in jail if you choose King. Someone let Elizabeth May know about this poll, I know that drunk loser is really passionate about this topic.

Because it's America first. He doesn't have time to stoop to their level. Maybe down the road he'll find a way to have them defanged, or even imprisoned. It doesn't. I wish he'd drop all of it and focus solely on the US - the country needs it.

I simply said it was not a democratic process which freed the Ukrainians I never said there was anything wrong with that it was not a democratic process which freed America from the British Crown neither

How utterly embarrassing for the US.

the Bushie Neocon who fervently supported the Iraq War he's been totally discredited in America as a result

only if you view Ukraine as being a Sacred Cow but the populist right does not view Ukraine as being that the populist right views Russia & Ukraine as being the same corrupt Eastern European dictatorship in two parts this is the former Soviet Union fighting itself and since Russia is potentially an existential threat to America by thermonuclear war it is simply not in America's interests to go all in for Ukraine this is not limited to the American right, in Europe, both the left & right are opposed to going to war for Ukraine

go back a bit further and you will find that Khrushchev was doing everything he could to get JFK elected https://time.com/4851449/trump-jr-russian-kennedy-history/ "when the Democrats do it it's legal"

at the end of the day, the MAGA base does not want to fight Russia for Ukraine and views Zelesnky as a bad actor essentially, Ukraine became the cause celebre of the international Woke Progressive left now Ukraine is simply caught in the inevitable Go Woke Go Broke effect therein

Yes, they are, given I will never vote for a conservative. Either way, you can expect to elect some lying b*ard of a criminal to match what they have in the States.

If you're not familiar the Men's Shed idea is a growing movement where mainly retired workers form a social group to promote and share the skills they've acquired over the years. It provides a place to hang out, socialize and return something to your community. Usually there's an area with a cribbage gamer and coffee always on, and a work area. Gather and recycle things and repair them, like guys reupholstering couches, woodworking, rewiring etc. etc. and usually a 2nd hand shop where those things are returned, given or sold not for profit. For example, I can go and someone will show me how to do woodworking stuff that I was never very good at, another basic plumbing or welding, etc. I can in return show them how to use iPhones, or Windows or fix their broken electronics. In a nearby town, their shelter was donated rent free and is big enough to bring your car in and do an oil change or radiator flush yourself - with help form others. Handy when it's -25 ouitside! Membership fees and 2nd hand sales just cover heat & light, coffee and donuts. It's a great idea to promote purpose and belonging to retired men. Years ago I did a study for ny union that found after an early retirement buyout, almost 2/3 of those retirees died withing 5 years. They had no plan for retirement, no purpose once they did. My own Dad aged at double speed after a golden parachute, was in a home within 20 years, my father-in-law discovered "golfing" was not a retirement plan and drank himself to death even quicker. We've all had many years of experience and skills we can share with each other, and there are many in our communities that can't afford professionals for some things. Go fix that little old lady's sink or show an old fart how to use an Amazon Fire Stick, you're on a pension you don't need the dough. Most of them will offer what they can afford and be insulted if you don't take it, so accept that. Some need your company more than they need a bill, some their company is worth far more than money. It's something to do, something that gives back and something of you that you can share that makes you feel good.
