Just catching up with the paddle thing.

Convert some of those green houses growing pot to vegetables and we wouldn't need nearly as many vegetables from the US.

The golden statue pic was a joke. He was doing the Wayne's World "we're not worthy" for a meme. The second pic was a guy in India that was happy Trump called out India for hiding the slums from the public eye.

If I still had a hobby farm I'd think of one, but I already have a gas pig Wrangler I want to replace. Should've kept the Saturn and gave my kid the Jeep. But I love her.... That's what I told a waiter once when he asked if I'd like a doggie bag for the leftovers. No thanks, I love my dog.... their TripAdvisor review was: I ate there. Once.

If Trump's lips are moving he is lying. Last night was just more of the same.

Hmm who is falsely claiming fentanyl is a pouring over the border from Canada? Who is falsely claiming US banks are banned from Canada? 2020 election lies? Obama’s Kenyan birth lie? Saddam’s WMD lie?There are literally tens of thousands of false claims from Republicans like this. Trump and his minions and mouthpieces are by far the most prolific liars in western politics since 1945 Case in point

Yea, transparently dishonest, corrupt and incompetent

Everyone is at least a little partisan. Many are very partisan. Some are hyper-partisan, and are almost always on-brand with whatever slurp they consoom. Finally, there are the truly deluded - the witless cultists that will believe and justify almost literally anything coming from their chieftain. I suspect robo is talking about the last, and there are many of them even in Canada. For what it's worth, I don't think that describes you.

Just amazing that the only thing they cheered for was spending money on Ukraine. Not for a little boy fighting cancer, honored as an honorary Secret Service Agent. Nope... Sat in silence for that.

Truly a disgraceful bunch

Or Jocylen. The best part of that speech was Trump calling it. Right at the beginning he said they wouldn't clap for anything. He got that right. They couldn't clap for a kid with cancer, mom's that lost their children, war negotiations moving forward, waste and fraud being eliminated from the government or anything he said at all. Then their rebuttal called for politicians being held accountable. I agree. We shouldn't allow those that support illegals killing and raping girls, perpetuate war, support government waste and fraud, support dangerous chemicals in our food and so much more. Vote against every single Democrat.

Far left woke crazy person Rachel Maddow claims that supporting a child cancer survivor is "disgusting" very sick lady. TDS is vile

LOVE it!

You're not man enough to vote for a woman. You're a misogynist. So sad to see you turn your back on Chrystia Freeland after all she has done for this country.

Nope it is happening, no conspiracy, Liberal voters are coming back to Carney because lets face it Justin was a nightmare... Carneys the new face of the liberals, and most new faces get a bump in the polls, and what was mentioned earlier Trump is actions are helping the liberals right now...but wait once Carney gets known to everyone the truth will come out, he already has the lying part down pat....something liberals like and vote for...we will see once an election is called...

Ignore the polls.

You don't if you can't, it's not a test. In any case others seem to be. Hmmm, I see even Pierre Poilievre has TDS now, he just accused Trump of stabbing Canada in the back. But he probably doesn't mean it...he's just copying the Liberals talking points...just virtue signalling.

Trump's big miscalulation is thinking that he can somehow separate production from consumer purchasing. Canadians are currently buying just as many cars from the US as we sell to the US. If the Canadian manufacturing plant that sells those cars packs up and moves south, Canadians won't simply stop buying that particular model, they will stop buying cars made by that company. In fact, if the tariffs result in plant closures and job losses, there will simply be a blanket boycott of American products. Of course our exports to the U.S. would suffer too, but eventually we would find other markets, including for the oil that Americans buy from us at a discount. We may end up with a higher cost of living, but we will be far less dependent on the U.S. market, and we will replace at least some of the U.S. production that sells into Canada with Canadian production for our own market and export markets. I can see this as an opportunity for much greater trade with Central and South America. All the citrus we used to buy from Florida would come from farther south. We could export into growing economies like Brazil and Chile. We could sell far more of our natural gas and oil to Europe and Asia. This will effectively raise energy prices in the U.S. and lower them in Canada, as we refine and distribute cheaper domestic supply through new refineries and pipelines to Eastern Canada. I also think we should end all military procurements from the U.S. Dump the F-35's and look at European jets, subs, etc. Produce as much as we can domestically. Canadians will pay the higher prices for everything if it means defending our sovereignty and national pride. Trudeau's assessment of Trump's tariffs are quite accurate. They're largely coercive, inflationary, and damaging to the U.S.'s international image. The U.S. is no longer seen as a trusted partner, because they will pull up stakes for purely selfish reasons that are actually counter-productive to U.S. interests long term. I think at this point we let the Yanks play this out. Tourism to the U.S. will tank. U.S. exports will tank. Our exports to the U.S. will likely tank too, but unlike the U.S., we have the potential of many tariff-free partners for trade, whereas the U.S. has multiple countries, including allies, ready to boycott U.S. goods and seek other markets. Canada should embrace the challenge. We're a much bigger country than just a half century ago. We have a strong domestic market. Originally I had thought we could enter into an economic union with the U.S. with free movement of goods, services, and people between the two countries. I think there may be too much distrust towards Trump for that kind of productive arrangement sadly. Canada is going to go through an austere period of rebuilding, as it did in the 90's, but when we come out the other side, and we will, the country will be stronger, more independent, and far less gullible towards foreign influence.

I'm using lee enough in the long run this will probably be a very good thing for Canada. It will certainly be a time of difficulty and in the short and medium term it's going to hurt not just because of the tariffs but because of what we will have to do to fight the tariffs. More debt and a recession most likely. But it could very well lead to a revitalization of Canada in the medium to long term. The erasure of many trade barriers between provinces for example, rebuilding of our own military and moving away from American military equipment, increased trade with other countries, building up of canadian businesses and industry, etc. A painful way to learn a lesson but not a bad lesson to learn. In the meantime i don't think even conservatives in the south are going to think this is a very good idea for long. There's nothing "conservative' about tarrifs, generally speaking conservatives view them as another 'tax" like carbon tax etc. They hurt the free market. Trump is trump. You can't really think of him as a 'representative of conservatives', he has some conservative policies and others that are kind of at odds with conservatives.

THEY think so. Wow, 2 responses in and you're already triggered

Oh i suspect it is in actuality. We'll see. We know. More than climate change which you pretend to care about but don't. More than accountability or honesty in government which you also pretend to care about but don't. More than the future of Canada and more than the success the average Canadian person And what does that say about you?

This is the liberals shiny knight armor....see 3.15 minutes of the below NDP video...While he sat as chair, he was avoiding paying Canadian taxes, infact brookfield was Canada's number one tax dodger....he placed his role as chair over his country....Is this the guy we want running the country ?

That statement speaks volumes about your moral compass, or lack thereof. You think it was perfectly acceptable for violent thugs to torch a police station, no matter if anyone is inside or not. And it also shows how you are still misinformed if you think cops run around targeting blacks for no reason.

Here's the thing bud. You can build our nation on science and reason. That's not actually as crazy as you're making out. The problem comes when the democrats choose science and reason when they like it and it suits their emotional or ideological position but they abandon it when it does not.. And it's that hypocrisy that causes their model to fail utterly. Society needs a structure. Society needs a common set of agreed upon beliefs and standards that we can all point to in adhere to and believe in. Religion is without a doubt one of the more easily adapted models for that, but there are other models that work as long as the structure is strong and well-defined. The problem is they like to redefine what science is every 5 minutes as it suits their needs. And I promise you if they were religious they would do it with religion too.

Except you don't so, it's all just more lies on top of lies.

Truth exists. Maga lies. Facts exist, they are objective, facts are not "speculation".

The reviews are in and even the Communist News Network had to admit the speech was great:

They couldn't even bring themselves to show compassion for a mom who's daughter, Laken Riley, was violently murdered. They are sick and childish. Psychopathic even

Selective memory? Then there was this fan boy that has been scrubbed from the internet:

How A Tiny Irish Town Became A Local Shrine To Barack Obama | FOX Sports Radio Obama God! Democrats build a temple for Barack | Daily Mail Online Seriously. 10 seconds of google searches would have saved you from looking silly.

Was Bill clinton in the room?!?!

Why are you assuming size means strength? Recall the fat soldier thread.

In years back (pick any President) the White House had a certain dignity, the show piece home of America. President Ronald Reagan comes to mind here as the host of America but there were many others of both sides . . . and then there was the bad carnival of Donald Trump with the leader of the Ukraine. Sad day for the American citizens . . .

Hitler was an unabashed Anglophile who admired the British Empire and Manifest Destiny. Bolshevism, however, was near the top of his naughty list. He dreamt of a Nordic Reich stretching from the Atlantic to the Urals, free of the ‘inferior’ races. Destroying the Soviet Union was key to this.

I've been musing on the F-35 purchase. I've always thought it was the right aircraft but am wondering how wise we are to be tying ourselves to US military equipment if we don't have to. It might be pie in the sky but what about the Gripen as an interm while we join the UK, Italy and Japan on the Tempest 6th Gen fighter project. Trump is forcing European arms manufacturing to undergo a renaissance so why don't we become part of it.

Well, to be fair, Dougie93 did give you an answer. In the first reply, no less. And a song to go with it.

I'm way ahead of you. They never should have been elected in the first place. Same with the Conservatives.

OMG. Just like a spreading disease. SAVE ME FAUCI WAN!

Stop LYING CdnLIAR Just cause I tell you to stop LYING does NOT mean I am "triggered," ^this just means you're an a-hole.

Yup. Justin Trudeau.

Some Republicans still have the guts. Not many.

To bad you weren't a person of influence in Canada back in the 1940's - you would have been considered quite woke.
