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?

You came close. No cigar.

Don't bore herbie with facts. He has the vaccine anyways, so he's immune to them.

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.

So... just going to ignore how Biden and the Democrats spent the last 4 years railing against everyone they labeled as MAGA? Seriously... you are either so ignorant as to be beyond belief or are just another average left-wing liar with no shame.

I'm talking about US citizen's and trying to divide them. Of course he rails at Trump....he has endless material to do it with. You're choking on your own just fine....

Yes, I think the voting age should be raised, and yes, I think there should be a test first, a test of knowledge, judgment, and intelligence.

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.

Very simply.... He's president of the United States and has done jack sh*t to unify your country! Quite the opposite in fact....every f*cking time he gets in front of a microphone he has to disparage Biden and all other people on the other side of the aisle for no good reason other than that's what he does. Can go on about the lengthy list of other unflattering qualities he has but for christ sakes....whats up with this guy! And his personal financial benefit since becoming president this time around is not speculation, it's fact. $5.1B today versus $2.3B when he came in. Probably got nothing to with his joke of an online store, selling bibles, running shoes, funny looking hats, selling worthless meme coins to minions, pushing crypto hard so his DJT business can benefit, his paid wife selling boooooks and meme coins, etc, etc.... You Maga's are the quite possibly the dumbest f*cks to walk this planet not being able to see him for what he's worth...

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.

F*ck the bawling baby and his temper tantrums. He doesn't tell us what to do in our own country. Like a 3 year old that's never been spanked. Well, really he does tell us what to do on a daily basis, but we need to tell him to f*ck right off.

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

Most religions in the world are false and that is why they have big problems. The middle east is full of false religionists which is what you are speaking about and they don't believe the Bible. There may be a small number of Bible believing Christians in the middle east as there are in many places, but they don't cause the troubles. We shouldn't generalize about all religions. There is a world of difference in beliefs between Bible believers and false religionists. It requires some study to understand the different beliefs. The situation in the middle east is another subject.

TDS - Trump Devotional Syndrome? You have no embarrassment at all in idolizing a 79 year old cognitively declining narcissist that wears orange make-up?

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

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....

That's a perfect example of the sh1t that comes from the mouths of left4rd cultists, daily. For example, Nortel was swirling into the toilet, looking at bankruptcy, and begging for a buyer. That wasn't an example of a Canadian PM selling a Canadian company that he didn't even own, it's a sinking business that found a buyer. An example of a Canadian PM screwing over a country is: the last LPOC PM we had went on TV to announce to the world that we were phasing out our oil sands, causing investors to promptly back out of 4 major energy investments with over $130 billion. Those energy investments could have been helping us fend off trump's hostile takeover bid on our country, but now they're still not even on the radar. And just a few minutes ago I replied thusly to a post from missing link, after she talked about where to invest money: A wiser option would be to invest in companies that Carney and his friends and associates are invested in, regardless of the quality and price of what they're selling, or if we even need it. An example of that is the WE "charity", who were friends and associates of the Trudeau family, and who made Hitler Youth style propaganda for Justin. Canada didn't need to give $900M to a company like that, and in the end we didn't, and you never noticed a glaring void. But Trudeau found an excuse to shovel piles and piles of cash to his cronies at WE, just like Chretien got the BoC to finance the purchase of one of his properties, just like Carney will do now that he's PM. It's how Libs roll. And when it comes time to either defend $135 billion worth of investments in Alberta, or to curb-stomp our democracy to protect a criminal entity like SNC Lavalin - that notorious briber of Liberal bureaucrats - Carney will do the latter and the CBC will barely mention it. And you'll be happy, because you're a cultist dipshit.

I've been in and out of Brookfield and two of their companies for a long time now. Spot on though....outside of Brookfield would really like to know where Carney's other investments were. Savvy guy....

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....

Why would a "patriot" support a politically Trump majority bias SCOTUS? Answer - you drink too much of the orange Kool-aide and your red hat is on too tight.

Let me guess.... our outdated military equipment and lack of spending was a b*tch point for you during the Trudeau years, right.... Do you suggest we just stay status quo and hope we have friends help us if ever needed? Enjoy the ride..... and go invest in companies that are going to benefit from our military and infrastructure upgrades.

Within the framework of existing laws and due process, as Trump and this administration have said, Garcia is never coming back here except in a jail cell. The poor little "Maryland family man" that became the Democrats celebrity cause to rally around is little more than a gang member or affiliate that was likely involved in gang violence in El Salvador which is why his life was threatened by rival gangs there at the time and why he continued to engage in gang activity helping them in human trafficing here. Never mind, he is a wife-beater. And this is what Democrats want to protect staying in America.

Victory for America, really. Now all we have to do is make political activism illegal within the lower courts, and those shitbags won't know what to do with themselves. lol

Garcia is a gang-banger and will be deported to rot in Hell.

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

Just my opinion and admittedly I'm a bit out of touch now, but attrition (largely in the form of experienced folks) has now reached a point where regeneration will be difficult, costly and time consuming. I'm not even sure it can be done without a complete pause in operational tempo and it will take years to grow back what's been carelessly squandered. We're actually losing recruits due to extended training delays now and DEI issues remain a problem as it skews recruiting priorities to non standard streams that aren't based on fitness and competence. That's a bigger problem than people might think because the pool of top candidates who are ready, willing, and able is small and it comes from the traditional supply stream whether Herb likes it or not. By prioritizing outside that stream you end up losing top candidates to such things as policing and firefighting who are every bit a hungry as the military... they're better at intake and training too. If the budget suddenly went to 5% of GDP I'm not convinced the military could even spend it wisely now. By way of example I think manning the new UAVs and P8s will prove very challenging for the RCAF. Recruiting, retention, and operational tempo is a three legged stool that requires constant monitoring... we didn't do that. Not only did we unbalance the legs of the stool, we got rid of all the carpenters who could fix it. So yes, you can use the new budget to buy more stools but there's not enough butts to sit on them and most of the butts currently available are too fat anyway. Sometimes you reach a point where the money to buy stools isn't the issue or even the problem... I think that's where we are now.

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....

Iran has NOT attacked Israel. Israel has repeatedly threatened to attack Iran, AND DID THAT LAST WEEKEND. All because Netanyahu has claimed that Iran's acquisition of NUKES has been "imminent" for the last 25 years. Iran had NO NUKE AGREEMENT with the US AFTER Trump tore up the JCPOA. Duh

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

You're the a$$holes bending over for illegal immigration, my friend. We just want them gone. You want this all to stop? Then beg your pals to self deport; it's the right thing to do.

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.

Well someone sure pointed out they got their definition of Sainthood from the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition rather than the Bible.

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. 🤮

Obama’s Disastrous Iran Deal It funded Iran and they didn't allow inspectors in. The deal helped Iran build nukes, not stop them.

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