The Liberal Party is a well-oiled BS factory. Masters at only appearing to do something when they don't want to do it. They're Machiavellian and filled with professional liars with no integrity. Unfortunately, a lot of people only read the headlines and don't look at the details.

You’re right behind us, pal.

Yes, it is a national epidemic. You folks on the left will latch on to far less to push the systemic racism BS. This is just one example among many for the hundreds of thousands of criminal illegal immigrants (engaged in more crime than just being here illegally) that has been going on and folks like you on the left don't care about and openly support sanctuary city policies that just let these criminals go rather than alerting ICE to deport them. This is exactly why I rightly pointed out more than this, when I said you don't care about all the rapes, murders, violent crimes, and other criminal activity being perpetrated by ILLEGAL Immigrants.

The only thing Trump's concerned about is bringing manufacturing jobs (and investment) back into the U.S. and putting Americans back to work. Which he appears to be doing. What Reagan warned about was that protectionism eventually kills innovation for the simple lack of competition. We as Canadians have to make do with the cards we've been dealt. Jean Charest made the comment not so long ago that in 10 or 20 years we may realize that this was the time that made us finally get our act together and put our own house in order. He may be right, but it won't help us in the short term. Personally, I think the ads are a bit of a mistake only throwing more fuel on the fire.

I get that but end of the day Ford and team did what they thought best to get the message across. I don't blame him and/or his conservative government at all. It's in Trump's and Carney's interests to get some sort of agreement done and trust this will get smoothed out over the weekend. That said... you have to wonder what the point of any 'agreement' with Trump means because he doesn't honour agreements.

It is nonsensical to blame Ford. This is entirely due to Trump and his unpredictable, erratic behavior. Trump is looking for any excuse to keep the tariffs going because he is opposed to free trade and thinks it somehow is unfair to America to have free trade. We will see how long this lasts if he indeed halts talks. It may be just another one of his negotiating tactics. That's how he thinks.

He has state governors, the auto sector, oil & gas companies, wine & spirits sector, and the hospitality industry barking at him but so far falling on deaf ears. September inflation data out the other day and up 0.3% for the month to 3%. All tariff impacts haven't flowed through the supply chains yet so that's only a matter of time before the yelling starts to get louder.

Have they figured out yet who's actually paying America its tariffs? They seem to be as ignorant as Trump is disingenuous. Are they all pretending?

Nothing but common sense. I can live with that.

If you think globalist means something negative, you must be an obstinate blockhead. You trade with the world, that's how the entire world developed. If you're a Cdn isolationist, you must be insane. Enjoy life without oranges and affordable TVs, computers, cars and clothing.

Oh FFS the guy's implying that instead of flying to ASEAN to drum up new trade he should stay in Ottawa with his thumb up his ass and Trump's dick in his mouth. Otherwise who other than the whiner PeePee LePew would create such a topic headline?

No YOU don't understand. He's going for YOUR jugular. In 6 months he's managed to destroy 50 years of trade relations, the trust of ALL your allies and any way at all of reducing your cost of living. And you think that's an accomplishment?

Yes, it makes perfect sense. Trump wants canada weak. Trump wants canada to be a huge source of revenues through tariffs. Trump wants to drive industries to america. But he knows that canada buys a lot of us goods. So he'll push things to the edge as much as he can to take every nickel he can and THEN he'll do a deal that he wants. There is NO reason for trump to have a deal right now. Deals mean certainty, businesses don't move if there's certainty they just learn to cope. It's to his advantage to go as long as possible without a deal without actually completely crashing the country Duh.

We're not interested in advice from a country that can't even beat us in baseball

Lol. The polls in your country are run by woke a holes who lie regularly. Maybe when the polls actually show some accuracy and aren't used as a tool to demoralize the opposition, aka fraudulent polls like the group that just LOST to Trump, then I'll take them seriously

Sure...if that soothes your anger...you go with that.

The "polls" that put Trump in power have been superseded by the current FAR MORE INFORMED POLLING. Duh

The term is used by the woke crowd to gain an upper hand in the conversation through the use of weaponized emotion and empathy. Trust vile individuals

Stop acting like it wasn't a factor, Link. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's not true, Ford played you, Trump played you, the MSM played your TDS to their own advantage, and you went for the bait. Now Canada has Trump's appointee in the PMO. Ford screwed Canada when he back-stabbed Poilievre, period. He honestly thought that he could shiv PP, to get him out of the way and clear Ford's own path to the leadership of the federal conservatives, and somehow winning this battle with Trump would punch his ticket to the PMO. Unfortunately for Traitor Ford, winning this battle against Trump is not possible while he's just riding shotgun for Tweedle-Dumb. Ford deserves everything he gets for helping Carney win, and Canadian voters deserve everything they get for electing Carney. OMG, dude. What do you think Carney is doing, if not turtling? Over and over again. All he has done is lick Trump's boots since he got elected. Trump telling Carney to make Ford stop running that ad is just the latest example of Carney obeying Trump's orders. Carney literally refers to Trump's Twitter feed as his own "To-Do List". The first thing he does after he gets out of Xi's bed is go on X. Trump just has to put out a single tweet when Carney says something that irks him, and Carney reverses course immediately. Blah, blah, blah. FYI Poilievre isn't Canada's problem right now, Linky. Ford Cuck is Canada's problem. The Carney is Canada's problem. Trump pulling Carney's strings is Canada's problem. The MSM said "LOOK OVER THERE! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" and you are looking over there. Open your F'ing window, dummy. We have a massive problem out there, and it's not "WHO'S LEADING THE OPPOSITION RIGHT NOW?" Poilievre is just fine. He's doing EXACTLY what he's supposed to be doing right now. Ford and Carney are clearly not. They both said "Pollyev is bad man, we r gud men" and you bought it, hook, line and sinker. And they are getting thrown around like rag dolls. They are weak, disjointed, stupid, and ineffective. At least in Carney's case you could say that "he serves a higher master than Canada: he has his own companies in America to look out for", but Ford is just failing his own people. Ford Cuck is a backstabber and a dismal failure.

Come on seriously... whether you like the guy or not or agree or disagree with his schtick, is there any question at all that he's a supreme narcissist? That's not debatable...

Lol...your attempt to redirect this to... "The problem is not illegals, but drunk driving." Is pathetic. Any incident involving illegals is a massive problem. No nation needs to increase the occurrence of such tragedies. However...nobody...not Trump...not Republicans...not anyone with a modicum of common sense, would or did try to excuse the tragedy. I haven't seen your 2018 example, but I would guess the illegal got his license in California or one of the other "sanctuary states". Am i right?

Well that's the quandary Ontario faces. Ford gambled on the TDS anger to make him a hero. Instead he got egg all over his face. But would the alternative be better? Probably not huh? Canada made an incredibly stoopid choice based on TDS and "Elbows Up". Now it's all blowing up in our faces. I believe had Poilievre won, he'd have done a much better job managing Trump and we wouldn't be faced with abject failure and embarrassment. Common sense...is a good thing.

Did you notice that the MSM is all over Poilievre, talking about how unpopular he is right now, while Traitor Ford and the carney are still theoretically viewed as heroes? MSM: "Our main problem right now, as Canadians, is that Poilievre won't stop talking about Trudeau's crimes and Carney's lies and weakness. He should be more supportive of Ford and Carney, because those guys are awesome."

This is all so stoopid. Ford tries to look strong for his electorate. Trump calls his bluff. It turns out the Reagan quote in Fords ad is misrepresented. The carney dutifully does as Trump dictates. "Elbows Up" I hate to admit it but...the Canadian electorate is a pack of twits.

I don't think there's any doubt it will be in the future, just a matter of how long that is. Ultimately it's the auto makers who make production decisions based on demand and obviously EV sales hasn't met expectations. North America is well behind the China, the UK and EU in EV adoption and imagine it will continue to lag behind as long as fools like the POTUS eliminate buying incentives and to a lesser degree continue to tout climate change as fake news.

It should be in the future, but instead we'll let China totally dominate the world market in EVs, while we're stuck in the 50s.

You know these BrightDrop vans start at $47,000 in the USA and $111,000 in Canada. Gee I wonder why the Post Office isn't buying them......npt 40% more, more than double.

Just give up, you can’t win. All America needs to do is let Canada go into free fall. If you can’t swallow statehood now, then atleast do what the emperor wants. This ideotic move by Ford is just accelerating your own economic collapse.

Explain the copium math to me. How would financially distress Canucks who can’t even afford food, manage to buy a new vehicle again? Since you all retired, your fuel and vehicle consumption has also decreased. Not only that, labor cost is high in Canada, that requires more capital investment upfront for a new plant for automation. With a shrinking consumer base, how is this even possible??

Oh Jeez St Therese. Better shit bricks because it was in Quebec. Paccar shut down in Burnaby BC around 1980. Freightliner soon after. I know I worked there, my wife at the other. Partly due to tariffs in place at the time. Just like now with the Golden Tackyman reimposing them.

Trump claimed in caps that Reagan ‘LOVED TARIFFS FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS NATIONAL SECURITY’ in a screed about the Ford, not Canada, ad which gives us a clue as to why he is so upset. That claim is laughably false. Reagan never liked imposing tariffs when he felt he had to. Only by lying can Trump make Reagan’s position resemble his. And I was surprised how vague Rubio was about who exactly Doug Ford is. In his position he should be entirely familiar with the post of Ontario premier and how it differs from that of Canadian prime minister etc. One utter ignoramus in the administration is more than enough.

Oh look, more violence against ICE. The FBI should look at these terrorists phones and prosecute anyone that encouraged these "peaceful protesters" to do this.

Mark Carney talks to Canada's youth about the budget and sacrifices they may have to make

You explained in layman's terms my quote, by someone who is not popular on this forum. You and I agree on that. You and I might disagree in that I think Carney is actually trying to legitimately work for the best interests of Canada on the economic front, by strengthening trade ties other than the one we have with our elephant. Doug Ford on the other hand, is playing a game he can only lose.

Lol...man you're en embarrassing person.

NRO is a classically conservative publication. This is what it had to say on the matter: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/trump-is-mad-at-canada-but-not-for-misquoting-reagan/

The Order of Magnitude? That's the outfit started by Free Mason wannabes who got black balled. No surprise you know about them. Did they black ball you as well? How did you manage to cajole the Dems into letting you join, was it the golden zucchini bribe?

I quoted articles with links to actual FBI emails and documents. You just choose to ignore it because you would rather feed your TDS than face reality. I gave you documents that prove my point. You gave me nothing. This document has two primary sections, why and how. The why is section 1 and the how is section 2 and 3. You quote 1 when you want to blame Trump for targeting a group but 2 and 3 when you want to talk about the enforcement/how. The 2 and 3 never mention a specific group and don't direct law enforcement to target specific groups.

I learned months ago how dishonest gato is which is why he's on my ignore list. Waste of time to "debate" anyone so dishonest, like gato, CdnLIAR and LUser.

Ford stood up to Trump. He did the right thing. Carney sucks up. Not so good.

They refuse to actually respond to the point or facts because they support this open borders lawlessness.

Psst...risks like...handing CDLs to aliens who don't speak English and can't pass the CDL tests?

There's a lack of humility, I find, in those who reject conservative institutions and their wisdom. Throwing the Internet on a population like this has turned the public sphere back to medieval times.

Who knowingly voted for authoritarians to sabotage our democracy? Who knowingly voted for Trudeau to write a code to allow them to steal from Canadians? You advocate tyranny and treason against the citizens of Canada under the guise of you voted for this yet you can't name one person that knowingly did can you!!!

Hmm, I need a fleet of in town delivery vehicles. Should I spend $80K on EVs that can charge overnight for $20 when they're not being used, or $80K on ICE ones the drivers are gonna take a half hour break in the day while they yak and pump in $50 worth of gas and getting paid? And a couple of $200+ oil changes a year... Not that I'd be much of a business owner if I bought a fleet of vehicles in the first place, would I?
