Trump does not like to lose. And to him, if any country has a trade surplus with the US, that means the US is losing. So the only thing left to do is accuse them of cheating and call them names and punish them. This is not helping the US. It's entirely counterproductive. Not only does it increase the input costs for US manufacturers, it angers other nations, many of them US allies or those the US has been hoping to make allies. When the US slaps big tariffs on other countries, they start looking for other trading partners. China is the most obvious. Even Australia has turned to China after the US slapped tariffs on imports from them because... because... just because. Everyone is cheating. Everyone except the US, of course, at least according to the puffy-faced orange man. So punishing them with tariffs is only 'right'. Except those who are 'punished' for doing nothing get angry and resentful. The US is rapidly becoming the most despised country in the world, even among Western countries. Trump slapped 50% tariffs on Brazil the other day because he doesn't like how they've treated a former president. China is already Brazil's top trading partner. Expect that relationship to grow closer. The US has no choice but to buy copper abroad. All this latest idiocy does is increase the costs for US manufacturers. But Trump doesn't understand economics or business, or really much of anything. He's the dumbest man every to set foot in the White House, and that includes the cooks and busboys.

So you think one man can change a constitutional amendment with a stroke of a pen? And insist you're a believer in the Constitution?

Canada's government debt-to-GDP ratio is low (well below 100%) and falling. Overall, the world is not in debt -when you add up the numbers, it must be zero. (We cannot borrow from Martians!) Higher debt? It means more lenders. More people who trust each other.

Yeah, but you're not invited.

I swear, you are the absolute dumbest member of this forum. These were not conservatives or people on the right: Suspects reportedly carried a flag that read “resist fascism, fight oligarchy” flyers that said “fight ICE terror with class war” and “free all political prisoners.” Officers also recovered anarchist literature titled Organizing For Attack – Insurrection Anarchy. https://www.yahoo.com/news/ambush-anti-enforcement-militants-allegedly-014016632.html

Showing once again just how stupid the Mango M0ron is. About THE most important metal in the modern world, the Blob doesn't realize the USA is part of it. Increases costs for every single product manufactured in the USA. Crazy glue the id1pt's mouth shut and cut off his tiny tiny hands or the USA before he collapses his own economy with his tariff stupidity.

Honda has announced that it’s buckling under pressure from Trump and moving production of its SUVs from Canada to the U.S. We must remember the companies that do this and stop buying their products.

Violent destabilization & open ethnic violence across the West is inevitable. Southport was a mere glimpse of what's coming and once that cat is out of the bag it's spreading across Western societies like a wildfire. The only question is which country kicks it off. Denialism, gaslighting, weaponized suicidal empathy, and pre-emptive framing is not working, Herbie. When that day comes, I hope you realize it's because of cowards, cucks, and useful dupes like you. If you think things are bad, divided now...well, you haven't seen shit yet. It's all downhill from here as we rapidly approach demographic tipping points across the West.

That's funny.... You imply he's dead because of retribtuion from 'very powerful people' then immediately say 'end of story'. The funniest part of this is your comment on the DOJ looking at Brennan and Comey as being "delicious'. 😂 So if I got this straight.... let's move on from Epstein because that could possibly implicate Trump, but let's have some fun seeing them go after political enemies from 9 years ago. Makes sense....

A democracy is ruled by the people, who have spoken. Take 176 to the truck crossing, and keep going.... 👉

None. States can't alter the Constitution. Beety Bowers hubby objects to birthright citizenship on religious grounds. Deport Jesus even if he's reborn here God isn't an American......

The real story is that Biden was going to release the files, but trump's people hacked his teleprompter and kept erasing the bits that talked about it so nothing happened

Not sure if it's my eyes or a colour change in my TV, but have noticed in the past week or so the tint of his make-up has gone to more of a 'copper-like' tone. Maybe putting tariffs on copper now was just a subliminal reaction?

Sunwing ISN'T and airline, it's a charter service. WestJet would want it for its routes and infrastructure. Not particularly for its name or reputation.

Sweetie...you are apparently under the misconception that colonialism ended in Africa. It did not. Africa is now owned by corporations and the people are kept at a subsistence level by the corresponding governments through...funds like USAID. Give a man a fish and feed him for a day...tomorrow he'll be back for more free fish. I know that social engineering is not your strong suit. But believe me when I tell you, Africa can take care of its own. They're not stupid...just a different pigmentation. Do your friends know how little you think of black people?

herpes is wired for left-wing propaganda only.

Absolutely, every transgender kid in Uganda need American taxpayer funded gender study.

Sounds like wishful thinking. You can move with him, be room-mates since you're of the same ilk. (And since you're 2 good-looking white guys, ICE won't bother you, unless they think you're gay.)

OK.. We are going to end up like Greece.

No buddy. Your insistence on rejecting every step of logical reasoning as meaningless, makes your opinon meaningless. Perhaps because you can't accept that unlike yourself, most of those people contribute to Canada.

Is the point you can't count?

You’re approaching the problem incorrectly. It’s not about how many expert opinion you have. It’s about how early on can a warning be made. There are some predictive modeling that has to take place along with the right measurements of input variables. Oh and by the way, we do not currently have the math to calculate weather pattern down to the city zip code level. You’re quite literally blaming Trump for the weather. Trump derangement syndrome was circa 2017-2024. Maybe look into getting that Fauchi ouchy again?

Disagree. This forum is remarkable. It has survived.

I saved money, at great expense; I first travelled abroad because of the 747. British Airways. I flew home on a Air Canada DC-8. ===== Ernest Hemingway got to Europe in 1917. How? I suspect that he was white, male, tall, rich.

What about Obama who started the separation standards? Do you know why they did it?

How stereotypically weak.

The other 59% went to everyone else. It is what it is.

That's just your pistanthrophobia flaring up again. Did you know the belief that everyone else is insane can severely impact your social life, relationships, and ability to work or go to school?

Do they want to stay here? Do they work, study, pay taxes or shop in our businesses? Can we use them? Seeing as how the answer is YES for 99% of them..... ridiculing the mere suggestion is a supreme DUH....

You have to go outside and meet people to understand they're all the same and happy to be Canadians. Sitting at home reading the Nazional Pst, watching FOX news and sucking up to Magats and traitors online leaves you with a negative outlook on everything. Even lead you to believe anyone else other than those sources are teaching kids to hate Canada. Sitting in the sun outside the roof over your head with food in the fridge in a beautiful town in a beautiful province in the best country on Earth, thinking about how awful everything is. Kwicher belly-aching and take your lithium.

Why would he bother packing up and going there when the way Carney's going the us is going to come here first?

As easily as some dismiss ideas without even engaging their brain or for utterly bigoted ideas Or simply to earn brownie points from the redneck crowd

It doesn't help when he follows it up with "There's No Business case for selling natural gas "

It's pretty normal to dismiss words you don't understand. Some of those were pretty big

Your objections are noted. And fully dismissed.

Whereas most prisoners leave positive ratings for the trailer jailers. "Toilet paper was 2 ply, reasonable bribe prices, and only 1 cockroach whom i named Tony. All in all, 4 out of 5 stars, i would definitely recommend and will return for my next incarceration vacation!"

He was sent to prison in 2023 for two years but applied for probation and received it. Since his sentence was only two years so he may not have been a big time criminal. He and his father were buying prescription opioids from people and reselling them apparently. The Trump admin decided to deport anybody with any kind of criminal record. To meet a quota target of 3,000 arrests per day, he was arrested and sent to a prison where he died at age 49. He had something called epilepsy and required medication to prevent seizures. The question is did ICE give him the medication to prevent seizures? "Johnny Noviello suffered from epilepsy, requiring daily medication to prevent seizures1. He was found unresponsive at a federal detention center and medical staff responded immediately to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation2. ICE claims he received medical care in a global news article but it doesn't mention whether he was receiving his medication. " Falling or choking is a concern among people living with epilepsy — but it’s not the only one. The risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is also a fear. If you or a loved one has seizures, a number of questions might run through your mind. For example, can you die from an epileptic seizure? Or, can you die from a seizure in your sleep? The short answer is yes, but while possible, death from epilepsy is also rare. When you hear of someone dying from a seizure, you might assume the person fell and hit their head. This can happen. SUDEP, however, isn’t caused by injury or drowning. It refers to a death that’s sudden and unexpected. Most, but not all, deaths occur during or right after a seizure. The exact cause of these deaths is unknown, yet researchers believe an extended pause in breathing leads to less oxygen in the blood and suffocation. Another theory is that the seizure causes a fatal disruption in heart rhythm, resulting in the heart stopping. Each year there are 1.16 incidents of sudden death for every 1,000 people with epilepsy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source. Experts believe it’s likely that many SUDEP cases aren’t reported and so the number of SUDEP cases may be higher." Can You Die from a Seizure? What to Know If You Have Seizures "Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) can effectively prevent or stop seizures in about 70% of people with epilepsy1234. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions and take medications as prescribed to maximize their effectiveness." So it seems to depend on whether he received anti-seizure medication. Not receiving it could be the cause of his death.

Why should I concern myself with these rights? There is zero evidence they have been violated. Every supposed point you've made in this thread has been thoroughly debunked. You are just inventing scenarios and asking they are true. False. I already gave you the account of two people who were sent to Alligator Alcatraz. Go back and read it. Doesn't sound like they respect human rights there. How would you like to receive one meal a day with maggots in it and shining lights 24 hours a day to prevent you from sleeping.

Assuming you are correct about this particular case, there are still two questions. Why are there over 55 Canadians imprisoned? I doubt if all these people are drug traffickers or a threat to society. Secondly, what kind of medical care does ICE give to people imprisoned? Do you understand the proper medications have to be given to people who require them? We still don't know if this guy died from lack of proper medical care, medications, or some kind of assault. You don't concern yourself about these kind of things. But they are human rights.

NO, I never made anything up. I posted the news article that said what I said. He is a legal permanent resident. In the past, he was convicted of something and was on probation. However, he did not lose his residency at that time and was not deported or ordered to leave. Only this year with the change to a Trump admin is he now arrested and imprisoned because Trump has changed everything and is arresting as many people as he can think of. That's the reason. Those are the facts which you deny.

Think twice, talk once.... What the hell is Carney supposed to publicly say about another Trump idea that creates inflation for the US customer. If every provinces main industry was oil & gas we'd all have a lesser impact wouldn't we. Why does Smith need credit for that? Try thinking man!

They were all given that! Its called CBP 1 app. No, there is nothing to show he was given written notice and time to move out of the country. That is fiction you made up. The CBP 1 app is for people applying to come INTO the country. It is not for the purpose of moving out of the country. "The free CBP One™ mobile application enables aliens without appropriate documents for admission who seek to travel to the United States through certain southwest border land ports of entry (POEs) the ability to submit information through a module within the application instead of coming directly to wait at a POE."

No, they didn't flood the U.S. during Biden's presidency. They arrived over decades during Dem and Repub administrations. And no, this guy had not broken his probation. Regardless of that, people who are in the U.S. as permanent residences have the legal right to be there and should not be arrested and imprisoned. I already explained that if the admin wants to end some of their residencies, all they have to do is issue written notices ending their time in the U.S. and give them time to pack up and leave. That would be the civilized thing to do. But Trump wants to look like the tough guy to appeal to his MAGA base. So he categorizes everyone as dangerous criminals, which is not a fact. It's his style of politics, which you have swallowed.

Barqy, look around ffs. Our Deputy PM said "We need to make stronger alliances with nuclear-armed countries, like Britain and France, so that they can protect us from America". https://www.yahoo.com/news/british-nuclear-weapons-protect-canada-233019491.html I don't give a shit about any of her other qualifications or experience, even any successes she may have had (truly zero if we're being honest), what she said there was so colossally stupid on every level that she should have been turfed on the spot. You can't find anything that Poilievre ever said that was even remotely close to that, yet the CBC and leftards didn't mention how stupid her comment was and they are are on PP's case for maybe saying something offensive at some point, but they can't quite put their finger on it? But it gets better: to throw gasoline on Freeland's stupid comments, our PM just went and signed a "Canada-Europe Defence Alliance" 😂. Gimme, a fking, break. FYI if the US wanted to take us over militarily, there's not a single thing that anyone in the world could do. probably 65-80% of our population is below the 49th parallel, in southern Ont and Que. Even Victoria BC is below the 49th 90% of the population of BC outside of Victoria is basically on the US Border. Delta, Surrey,Langley and Abbotsford are actually ON the border. Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Coquitlam, PoCo, Port Moody, Maple Ridge, Mission, Pitt Meadows, Chilliwack are all within a few kilometres. We don't have a single fighter plane that can take on an F-22 or F-35. We don't have anti-aircraft batteries and radar to stop cruise missiles ir hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles, or ICBMs. We don't have main battle tanks to match the Americans. We don't have their close support planes or helicopters. 95% of our population is within a 30-minute drive of the US border for an M1 Abrams tank. Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Kelowna, Kamloops and Saskatoon are our only major cities outside of that. And NEWSFLASH - Europe isn't going the threaten the US with nuclear weapons just to protect our sovereignty. At some point you have to look at the hopelessness of the situation and the cost to even attempt a defence and realize that it's just not worth it. We could throw away the lives of all of our soldiers without making a noticeable dent in the US military. The government that we have is dishonest, stupid, and seems entirely traitorous. We are a breeding grounds for terrorists that want to attack India and the US (and ourselves, as usual), and we are alienating those countries day-by-day. Canada has become a negative on the world stage, as far as promoting western democracy is concerned, if we're being honest. There was a time when Canada had a useful military and a strong government and we weren't a breeding ground for terrorism, and that time is long gone. Democracy here was a swing and a miss. If the US moves to take over Canada, I say we stand aside so no one gets hurt.

And the big payoff comes when they leave office and then get put on the boards of these companies that they've helped funnel money into for years. At that point they do absolutely no work and make big six figure income, and they will be on a half dozen or a dozen boards so they collect millions of dollars a year for doing nothing.

There is still some strange persisting idea in some people's minds that if you are pro-Russian you must be a leftist. Something to do with the 80's mindset even though these days it is the leftists who call everybody who disagrees with them as Putinists. Btw calling people Putinists has become like calling people fascists or racists, completely useless abuses which have lost their meaning due to overuse. However, there can be both right-wing and left-wing people who are pro-Russian. That is actually being Russophile. For Russophiles the existing societal system has only instrumental value be it the Czar, the communists or Putin. The most important thing for Russophiles is that the interests of Russia comes first and whichever political at any given time serves the Russian interests best is used but is discarded if need be. Russophiles, unless they are Russians themselves, is about the lowest form of human life. Our parliament in Finland passed the NATO-application by votes 184-7. I think that is fairly accurate proportion of people in our country how many people are Russophiles how many most definitely are not.
