That you don't know anything about sociology and are too lazy to examine the statistics. The communities with the best success are the ones who prioritize education and have the least one-parent families. That is, in order, Asians, Jews, and Mormons. After that, general whites, and then other minorities. AI Overview The U.S. provides Israel with approximately $3.8 billion in aid annually, primarily for military assistance. This commitment is part of a larger, ten-year agreement signed in 2016, totaling $38 billion, and extends through 2028. You're just realizing this now?

No sovereign government can allow a foreign president to dictate our domestic tax policy according to his own ideology. Trump’s claims are ridiculous the digital services tax applies to Canadian and non-Canadian businesses alike so this not about trade fairness and not “an attack on USA” as the orange id1ot declared The MAGAs simply want to impose their ideology and remake us in their image and Trump wants to serve his tech bro clients And this is yet another nail in the coffin for the claim that Trump prefers Liberals because it’s easier to get his way with them. As he has said many times in the past, he again complained that the Liberals are “very difficult” negotiators. What do you think PP would have done? TBH this is better than some kind of settlement where we have to at least symbolically bend the knee to the mad king and everyone gets accustomed to being a US vassal state just with terms slightly worse than before. Let’s keep diversifying away from USA and get building the stronger better Canada of the future

We have little to no choice... Commit with ally partners or be on our own little island which isn't sustainable. To say we're not going to upgrade our antiquated military, but expect big brother and other allies to protect us if needed doesn't fly. If we want to be a sovereign nation we need to act like it and be able to protect ourselves. 5% is not insane.... Far less annually than what we spent on covid pandemic. 1.5% of the 5% is for infrastructure but both spends will create business, jobs and revenue. Still have 4 years before NATO review. The world will also look a lot different in 4 years so 5% might become 3% or 7% by then.

lol.... There's no lies coming from him that are of any consequence one way or another, except to those who wanted PP. Budget will come when he knows what the landscape is after getting the tariff agreement is done. Hard to give fiscal guidance when you don't know the immediate future. A large number of companies in Corporate America have done the same thing and pulled their earning guidance because they don't know what's going on with the sh*t show known as Trump. No big deal. Until then it doesn't affect our credit rating or affect the credibility of why Carney got elected. Gives the opposition something to chirp is about it....

No need to read the whole thread anymore to figure out how much of an idjit robo is, just look at that sentence. You've blown past m0r0n and cultist, straight to "Ayatollah's parrot" with one sentence. Now your support of all of the sh1ttiest American and Canadian politician over the last 15 years makes perfect sense: I'd be a Kamala Harris supporter too if I was an Iranian puppet. Note to left4rds: When you're agreeing with robo, you're not actually agreeing with another "concerned Canadian or American citizen" - you're agreeing with a person whose end goal is the fall of western civilization. That's how shitty Trudeau, Biden, Clinton and Harris are... Their most ardent supporters are the enemies of our countries.

Exhibit 1 of the "minimal damage". Why stop there, just write a no bomb damage conspiratorial. it's okay to support Iran, just change your profile picture while you're at it. Suggestion below

@mods, this thread title is misleading. Can we change it to "Herbie is a F-ing Dingbat"? Thanks in advance. Honestly, I just fail to see the connection between "Carney saying that he's going to raise Canada's defence budget" and "The Age of America is Over." Is it one of those "If a butterfly flaps its wings..." things?

And it can be bombed again... Duh. So... now you claim Iran moved everything after the Top Gun movie...

**ahem** Except you. Because you were upset enough by it to reply. Do you realize how many times you have told people you don't care what their opinions are? You basically said all Canadian opinions are worthless, I can't count how many times your told me, User, Legato and others you don't care about their opinion. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, that you are so closed minded that you aren't willing to accept any information that transcends your preconceived notions?

Trump ends all U.S. trade talks with Canada over digital services tax FAAAACK!!! So much for Carney being able to "handle trump". Carney was counting on that money too. So if he caves and cancels the tax he will look weak as hell and have an even bigger deficit. Not to mention the fact that the Canadian news producers won't like it. And if he tries to keep it trump won't talk trade with him so we keep our tariffs and lose more jobs Anyone who voted for this a****** thinking he somehow could handle trump deserves to be dipped in Puppy Chow and thrown to a pack of rabid poodles.

You came close. No cigar.

Victory for Trump. Anchor babies are now no longer anchors...and the lower court injunction chickenshit is done. Happy Friday Libbies...

Listen to you Magatts and traitors carry on. The oaf just called off the whole trade talks over a tax IN CANADA for digital services doing business IN CANADA.* And you all act like he has even the slightest right to do so. Just weeks after threatening Europe over 'wonderful US beef' filled with hormones, dies, antibiotics and preservatives like no other place has any right to set its own rules about anything. All the whining over the WTO is just an attempt to force the whole world to submit to US made in Washington Trade Law. Goddam dupes! *even dumber, Americans will pay tariffs instead of Canadians paying those digital taxes.

f*ckface..... lol, I remember being back in grade 7 or so and that being a common phrase with us kids. Just getting into grade 7, or have you spent the last couple years there? Joke.... keep on talking and embarrassing yourself further assh0le. I find it amusing right now.

Explain the difference That makes absolutely no sense. The fact they didn’t rollover is proof that they will roll over? What exactly do you think he would do if they were ere actually difficult negotiators? That’s exactly what’s happening right now but you’re suggesting it’s a sign of failure not the road to success. We will see. At some point there will be a “new normal” and I suspect that even if Carney gets 99.99% of what Canadians want conservatives will claim that he caved, bent the knee and sold out. Meanwhile if PP is the PM when things are settled even if he caves to the US on 99.99% of issues conservatives will tout the 0.01% as a landslide victory That’s how that judgment will go, same as it ever does.

Simple-minded leftists. Deporting illegal immigrants is just too hard a solution for them. Hurts their tiny brains. Let a pregnant illegal immigrant plop a baby out 1 foot over the border and BOOM, American citizen, so much easier. Drool.

Translation....my TDS is raging today, must be that time of the month.

CdnLIAR is the first poster I have EVER put on IGNORE for ^these reasons. Congrats on figuring it out.

I very aware that Paul Pelosi owns a real estate and venture capital investment firm. Also aware that Nancy profited very nicely with investments made. Not dissimilar to Trump who has doubled his wealth since coming into office or I'm sure one of your red hats hotties MTG who has also profited nicely. So where do we go....it's only Pelosi who participated with insider trading right? You got it....you're clueless

Well the thing is they often pay the consultants or consultants companies that the news organizations hire to give them information or comment on information. And they absolutely definitely funnel tons of money into various activist groups who can put pressure on news stations and reporters. You'll recall during the truck are protest for example when cBC announced that the truckers were being funded by pro-trump forces in the united states primarily. Turned out that that was 100% completely false, but they arrived at that based on information prepared by an activist type of person who deliberately twisted the information available to create that image. CBC of course didn't feel they needed to apologize for the mistake later because they said they were acting in good faith on information from an expert. But of course they should have known that the expert did not have enough information to be able to make that statement, but now they've got plausible deniability. None of this happens by accident

Because every now and then I get a kick out the idiocy that some people carry with them daily. For instance, you're a perfect example of the kind of idi0t I'm referring to. And, I believe you would be close to the last one out here who should comment on why they post. Not sure I've seen a subject yet that you've haven't had something mind numbing to say....

Do you honestly have no clue why the Pelosis are so much luckier than everyone else when it comes to investing, despite the fact that they're so much unluckier than everyone else when it comes to thinking? No f'ing clue at all?

Glad you got the math down now.... Not caught up in left or right activism at all. Simply get a laugh at the idiocy that Trump has brought and permeates throughout red state America.

It's worth noting that Kearney has already doubled the amount of money by $25 billion that we're going to be spending on independent consultants to do work that the government employees are supposed to be capable of already. we know how this works. Trudeau and now carney funnel vast amounts of taxpayer dollars into fake we're useless third party companies that do no real work and pocket billions to do it and then when they leave politics they're invited to sit on the board of directors where they will do nothing at all and receive salaries of several hundred thousand a year. You get 10 or 11 of those going and Retire on a nice tidy little income into the millions

Yes, despite the headline and subject topic this wasn't really a ruling about the issue of birthright citizenship. This was a ruling addressing the ability of lower courts to pass sweeping judgments Covering entire groups of people in a wide brush manner. Basically the court has said that the lower courts did not have the authority to make sweeping injunctions in cases like this Here's the actual ruling for those who feel like reading it Read Supreme Court's birthright citizenship nationwide injunctions ruling siding with Trump It's pretty long. But basically it references the fact that the lower courts are able to consider stopping a government process for a specific individual but shouldn't be allowed to be doing so for the nation in general. So they've denied the lower courts the ability to do that. But the issue of birthright citizenship is still going to have to go before court for a final ruling Then why are you posting? "I don't care so much that I'm going to take my time to write about it and think about it". Very convincing

lol... sure, lets go with all that then. You clearly don't follow this equity or the market. The company is -20% YTD because of his political game and you think that's great and will "probably" continue to do great.... Zero financial aptitude so maybe use your allowance money to save for a new bike or something....

You first probably want to check your math. 4+4=8 The SCOTUS has 9 justices....with a 6 -3 conservative majority. Just sayin.... Good to know you're happy with the political bias of your Supreme Court. Fortunately, not my court....

((shut. up! Do NOT give him ideas....))

What is so consequential of Brookfield moving to NY? I'd like to think I'm rational and capable... and did vote for the best leader choice we had in this election - Carney, as most Canadian's did. Who would have ever thought that a 24% lead can go BOOM...GONE that quick. Wow....

No, I'm saying that it wasn't unreasonable to think that he still had WMD's hidden somewhere, which he fully intended to use, but we never found them, and critics of the administration that started that war are lying about what intelligences were being presented to the president at that time. I'm pretty sure that I could hide some WMD's in a country the size of Iraq, where the US gov't couldn't find them. Obama was the one who allowed islamic state to grow into what it was, but the 2nd war in Iraq was definitely a strategic and civilian catastrophe.

Hopefully those supposed lies don't keep you up at night. If they do, drinking some warm wine to sleep better.... Go have an apple with westcanman and pool your money to buy some Brookfield shares. You won't regret....

lol.... except for the $1B federal bank loan to BC ferries for the 4 ships from China. Part of the problem we have now with being so f*cking stagnant over the years.... no Canadian shipyard bid on BC ferry tender because they don't have capacity. If we'd been investing in our military and infrastructure over the years the ship building industry might be in a spot with manpower and scale that they could produce for BC ferries.

herbie hates borders and wishes mob rule would win the day, month and every f*cking year after that.

Lmao...right. This reminds me of when I come home and tell my wife to get on her knees and she does. But she then tells me she didnt do it because I told her to. She did it because she wanted. And I just reply with "I know baby girl, I know."

Michael, Still laughing. ==== Sadly, my old ginger cat can't hear.

Don't give me that Brookfield thing....who cares. He was in private business and doing what's best for the business and shareholders. Don't care if they played music before his old-timer hockey or worked for Martin either. You shouldn't either, get over it. Have an apple....

You called it earlier. This thread is a spectacular display of his complete dissociation from the truth.

It's a trick question, the rocks all get to pool their intellect so of course they're smarter. That's not fair

But not 60%. What civilian use is there for 60% enriched uranium?

Because it was a sore point for the minions on the Toronto Sun video you latched onto. Is your memory that limited, or was that laugh just another piece of minutia nobody cares about...? PS....it's the latter

Absolutely....don't blame the US at all for pressing on the NATO spend, and ours in particular. We've been nothing but complacent for too many years doing little to nothing while our military and its equipment became antiquated. With my limited knowledge of the defence industry I do know that the US is the best with their weapons and technology systems. Again, agree with Carney though that we spend too much of every defence dollar with the US and need to diversify that, which can also help trade agreements with other countries. End of the day though our geographic location is what it is and we're always going to be lock step with the US economically and what looks to be militarily now as well. Either way....hopefully Carney will learn from the past and engage the appropriate people to make the best decisions for today and tomorrow. You must need to wear a helmet when you go outside....don't you?

Cry me a river, white ethnic cleansers. We can't save everyone, and the US has taken more than enough already. Go do, you know, the usual:

lol... f*ck you're hopeless 😂 I highly doubt you can teach me anything except stupidity, which I have no interest in. If I do I'll just read yours or westcanman's posts if I want a laugh and dose of stupid.

Gawd, you guys are tiringly stewpid.

Iran would likely not be enriching U if Israel didn't have the bomb and not actually invaded them. Duh Your ^fantasies mean nothing.

You're the lDIOT who would rather bomb Iran than comply with the negotiated settlement which WAS WORKING. Now the U is in the wind and Iran will do what Israel and N Korea did: develop NUKES IN SECRET. Thanks to Trump and lDIOTS like you who support him. 🤮

Your ^OPINIONS mean NOTHING. Trump IS RESPONSIBLE for tearing up the agreement which STOPPED Iranian enrichment and you're too stupid to see that.

The entire Middleeast hates the idea of Israel. And that's likely only escalated seeing what they've done to civilians in Gaza. It doesn't mean that Iran would nuke Israel. But it sure would mean that Israel would think twice about attacking Iran.

To be honest.. I have read your posts 3 times and have no idea what you are trying to say and about what?? Carney said government will meet NATO's 2% target.... fact The Dome??? No government response so it is a non issue. Weapons in space??? "brown chunks on his tongue still taste like KFC."????

Try this one again or run away like you almost always do: So... no idea if any of that is accurate, but lets assume that is what Carney said... Then Canada was never a reliable military partner to begin with. He just admitted they are not going to meet their obligations as part of NATO, which they are a member of and benefit from, but to spite the United States. And you cheer that on? I mean, do you even realize how stupid of a position that is? America has carried NATO for as long as NATO has existed with our military size and the threat we posed to any adversaries. But yeah, sure, we are not the reliable ones because we fund our military to meet and exceed NATO obligations while Canada doesn't.
