Trump is guided by God, punishing American companies that have abused workers in foreign countries for decades and ordering them to return home. Thank you Mr. Trump and to the Holy Spirit,

But BLM are terrorists because someone broke a window. And someone threw a rock at a Tesla so the left are violent. They invade the capital, they denigrate institutions and spread misinformation. But they're the good guys...

The years-long trial of Tamara Lich & Chris Barber cost Canadian taxpayers $10 million. To charge these two with "mischief". This has got to be the worst use of court resources and taxpayer dollars in Canadian history. An absolute embarrassment and shame on the Crown. "THE PROCESS IS THE PUNISHMENT." Whether you agree with the verdict or not, this case shows that the federal government politicized our court system. It was never about the law, it was about making an example out of anyone who challenged the government. Tamara Lich BEAT 5 of 6 charges Chris Barber BEAT 5 of 7 charges 1- Did counsel to commit mischief not committed (STAYED) 2- Did counsel to commit indictable offence of intimidation not committed (BOTH FOUND NOT GUILTY) 3- Did counsel to commit indictable offence of obstruct police not committed (BOTH FOUND NOT GUILTY) 4- Did resist or willfully obstruct police officer in lawful execution of duty (BOTH FOUND NOT GUILTY) 5- Did wrongfully and without lawful authority for purposes of compelling one or more person to abstain from something they had a lawful right to do... block or obstruct one or more highways (BOTH FOUND NOT GUILTY) 6- Did commit Mischief (BOTH FOUND GUILTY) 7- Did counsel commit disobey court order not committed (CHRIS BARBER FOUND GUILTY; TAMARA LICH NOT CHARGED WITH THIS)

Pfft On a 5-year basis.Yeah no girl is ugly if you zoom out far enough, eh? Also are you trying to seriously gaslight us into believing nobody complained about the economy during the pandemic and supply chain issues?

LMAO the numbers are the same everywhere loser. You don’t know shit in real time or delayed time So can you link me to where Trump promised he would destroy the stock market and economy for half his presidency before it got better because I can only find clips of him saying the markets and economy would take off ON DAY ONE and where he said the economic success Americas experienced in 2024 under BIDEN was because markets knew he was going to win the election and the Trump economy had already started. As usual you’re a shameless cult follower who changes his story every 5 minutes to defend DEAR LEADER even in the face of the obvious of t Don’t worry neither does @Delugebecause it never happened

ExFlyer stands for nothing and would never stand for anything. He's no different than Trudeau who failed to meet with fellow Canadians, the truckers. Both spineless tossers.

Put up, shut up or fùck off. No one died from protesting in Ottawa at all. You're completely full of shit.

I swear this guy is 12 years old 🤣

Rideau Centre was shut down for weeks. If you owned one of the 175 business located there or one of the laid off employees or had to listen to constant horn honking for days on end, had to wade through these people to get to your home or business every day you might have a different perspective. The Ottawa police department put policing costs at $800,000 per day, paid for by local tax payers. If no charges were laid, what is to stop any other group from doing the same thing. How would you feel if your place was taken over by BLM or Palestine protestors and shut down your business or cost you your job for several weeks.?

It's bizarre to me that no Liberal supporters question why the Liberal gov't went so hard after normal citizens but let violent home invaders and fentanyl traffickers out on bail within hours. Priorities?

Oh wow. You've never even taken a college level economics course, have you? Like, none of that is Austrian, Keynesian or anything recognizable to economic theory. It's just a bunch of crap you spit out. First, you don't pay for tax cuts. The money wasn't theirs to begin with. Second, the tariffs (in large part) aren't permanent. They are restorative. We have trade imbalances with nearly every country. Giving domestic production a cost advantage is like paying yourself from your paycheck. When/if a country lowers their punitive tariffs, so do we. In the end, a fairer trade is established.

Coyne's excellent. He's one of the main reasons I ever got a Globeandmail subscription. This is a conservative that didn't join the circus. Where are they now in politics?

One thing is now obvious, Trump is worse than Covid for the world's economies.

Sure are. And this is just brainless. As a guy explained on BNN this evening, under Trump's tariffs an Iphone is going to cost over $2000. And when asked what it would cost if made in the US he said about $3500. The work done by Apple subcontractors in China like Foxconn is not exactly great. Their workers throw themselves off the building! You won't get Americans to work those kinds of hours, and even for an 8hr shift you'll have to pay them $25hr - at least and spend billions on the factory and parts makers. What are you invested in, cocaine? When the market goes down 2000 points everyone's investments suffer. Unless they have none.

Yes, individuals who are on the political left right now are attacking Teslas, vandalizing them, torching them, and they are openly cheering it all on during late-night talk shows. To sit here pretending like this targeted violence is not politically motivated by one side of the spectrum right now is just dishonest.

Logical fallacy futures are actually down also...

You mean they're someone else's slaves? We've all heard you talk about your slave-zuchinni here before bud, too late to pretend otherwise now

I hate to sound like a commie like Brian Mulroney but the GST should not be charged on any home or shelter, food, clothing or medical. But then again if you actually think $1,000,000 instead of $1,050,000 is going to either make people rush out and build and buy new homes you're welcome to keep dreaming.

Maybe they are afraid they will find out he was playing minor hockey when he was 25 years old.

Vandals. They come in all descriptions and just love an excuse to destroy things. My guess is most have no political bent, they just love an excuse to mindlessly break shit. Don't care much who gives it to them.

OMG!!!!! Some Ottawa residents and businesses within a few block radius were inconvenienced??!!??? Yes, that is definitely the reasons I would like see Canadians' charter rights violated, businesses ordered to shut down, the Emergency Act invoked and hundreds of millions of tax dollars spent on court cases against the protesters. Blah Blah Blah.....and NOT ONE proof cite. Ex-Flyer loves that. You can say whatever you want in support of the Liberal gov't and he laps it up like a dog eating its own vomit. Well, apparently Ontarians are perfectly okay with all that - it's been going on for a year and half. The cops bring them donuts. Jihadis just took over McGill University and NONE of the Liberals or their supporters have any kind of problem with that. But Canadians protesting for their Charter Rights and jobs? VERY VERY BAD. Good Gawd, you Liberal brainwashed dumba$$es are total kooks! 🤣

Tell us without telling us? You just did! Lol A. You have it backward. Low price elasticity (as you described Diamonds) means that demand is not very responsive to changes in price. B. Diamonds and eggs are both famously inelastic. Again, meaning that demand stays relatively consistent even as prices increase--but obviously for very different reasons. You should probably request a refund from Google University. Meanwhile, cost, price and price elasticity are all different things. Don't conflate them. If costs go up, prices will go up not necessarily linearly, but with big tariffs on consumer goods it's both obvious and significant. The degree to which demand is affected or not affected by changes in price is the elasticity. -- Low elasticity doesn't mean the prices haven't gone up, it just means people are still paying the higher price. And high elasticity doesn't mean that prices don't go up, it just means potential consumers fall out of the market more quickly. High elasticity and falling demand can restrain cost-driven price increases by shifting pressure to margins instead of price, but even that flexibility is limited to the size of the margins. If the seller has to raise the price of blenders to remain profitable in the face of increased costs, the consumer can indeed choose not to pay the higher price. Demand goes down, creating downward pressure on price, but only within margins. Sellers can't sustainably sell below cost. The consumer who can't bear or chooses not to bear the increased prices and falls out of the market is also worse off, being denied the utility of the blender. Even though they didn't pay the higher price in dollars they indeed "pay the price" for artificial cost increases.

Ignoring the fact that he's not even doing that, you're still here talking about people needing to get over partisanship while lauding the most partisan BS'er the world has probably ever seen. 🤷‍♂️

True brainwashing means that one believes day is night, black is white, wrong is right. You can't get right there in an open society. We're going to see instead is something we haven't seen in a while. People having to come to terms with being wrong

That was me and the missus in 2008. When our financial statements arrived in the mail we bunged them in a drawer unopened. Stopped listening to the doom and gloom on TV news etc. What we did not do was panic and sell. Two years later everything had recovered with a small but tangible increase. Hang in there.

Yup, they should have assigned court charges to Lich and Barber - the millions supporters threw at this helped drag things out way longer than needed too.

This is like the years long trials of the Diagalon guy who BEAT all 23 charges. I bet that one cost taxpayers almost the same. The ones cheering on the politicization of our legal system by the Liberal gov't to punish citizens who challenge them, should remember that this is what they cheered for when the OTHER party is in power.

2 Lib-hoes are on their way to a Tesla dealership to smear feces on the cars, in order to protest Elon Musk saving US taxpayers some money and protecting free speech, when one of them spots a makeup compact lying on the ground. She opens it up, looks in the mirror and says: "Hey, I think I know this chick!" The other one grabs it, looks in the mirror, and says: "How do you know if she identifies as a chick? Maybe she identifies as a hen, you racist!" The first one fires back: "I meant a woman, not a bird. Stop assuming that she's a furry, you religious bigot!" The second one shrieks: "OMG! ARE YOU ASSUMING SHE'S A WOMAN!?!?!? You are such a homophobe!" Ho one yells: "YOU JUST DID IT TOO! YOU CALLED HER "SHE", THAT MAKES YOU AN ISLAMOPHOBE TOO!" Ho two is stunned into silence... "OMG, are we Nazis? I just saw a documentary that said Hitler slept on his side, just like I do... And he put Nazi symbols on cars as well... just like we do... I'm not really feeling it anymore. Instead of going to that dealership and each smearing a bunch of cars, let's just go back there and we will both smear that one." Ho one appears lost in though for a moment, then says "The one by our parking spot? Awesome!" They trundle back to smear the Tesla, then Lib ho one says, "OMG! My key just unlocked the door, we can crap inside of it!" Lib ho two: "What if we get locked in?" Lib Ho one: "I will use the mirror from this dude's makeup contact to cut myself, then you can call an ambulance from that payphone."

I've always had respect for Coyne's thought on things. Way back in the day when the old now defunct National Post forum from which our forum is rooted he once mused on At Issue while covering a corruption scandal that he could understand why someone might suggest using cameras and microphones to keep politicians honest. I had recently written a letter to the Nat Post editor that made letter of the day on the topic. They're still there, apparently in a state of disarray but trying to find a voice that articulates a rational counter to the dingbats. Another similarly rational conservative I respect is David Frum. Rex Murphy was great back in the day too but lost it near the end.

West doesn't understand the difference between a sideways moving market and one that declines precipitously in two days based on the whims of ONE MAN. 🤮

More like...Import the third world, become the third world.

The markets losing ten percent of their value in two days with no end in sight is now projection. You really are in la la land.

Interesting interview with conservative columnist Andrew Coyne on the conservative platform The Hub. I don’t agree with all of Coyne’s opinions but I often find his analyses informative and thoughtful and most importantly fair Andrew Coyne on Poillievre vs. Carney, Trump, and the future of the conservative movement “Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne joins Hub Dialogues to talk about why the Conservatives seem to be struggling to find their footing in an election that doesn’t include Justin Trudeau, but does include Donald Trump. He also talks to us about Trump, the future of journalism, and his upcoming book,“The Crisis of Canadian Democracy”, which explains why our democratic institutions are not as strong as we believe them to be.”

I'm going to quietly wait for you to admit you were wrong on this statement.

Do really want to get involved with a logical phallus? That's very brave of you.

No they won't be built without Indigenous consultation. By Liberals, Conservatives, NDP or the BQ. Them's the facts whether you like it or not. So dream about your imaginary decisive Fuhrer.

Holy crap @Legato , looks like you lit a short fuse on a stick of stupidmite with that one. It can't, but their damn advertising team can. "makes your bowel more regular" my ass!! (so to speak)

You are always full of excuses. King is a great Canadian patriot, where unlike you, a commie little troll coward who is too terrified to answer such simple questions, poor baby. King is the man, man. Live with it, comrade. 🤣 You are the one that needs diapers for your constant diarrhea of the mouth. Go away commie, you are stinking up my computer. I think that i will call you stink bug from now on. Works for me. 🤣

The only Americans not worried are the maga cultists. Like toddlers, they don't have enough knowledge to be able to sense the danger. But everyone else.... I was worried when donald got elected a second time. But even I never forsaw the enormity of the clusterf__k that donalds st_pidity has unleashed upon us in such a short amount of time.

Lol keep dreaming. Relocation costs billions of dollars and takes more years than Trump will be in office. By the time companies complete the decision making process to move a factory Trump will be out of office. Plus his erratic actions have proven his word is meaningless he could sign a deal with you one day and welcome you with open arms then completely violate it the next and stab you in the back And USMCA is not intact. Trump still in violation on auto, steel, aluminum and he said there would be more violations to come in other sectors like pharma and lumber

You do know in order for something to be classified it actually has to be marked classified a reporter can not just deem it classified. So until you can show me the classified markings stfu.
