So Mr. Rumplestretchston which orders are "illegal"?

He said 23% of those companies are planning to exit PRODUCTS from the market not that the companies themselves are planning to leave entirely

It sure seemed like it when it was his to lose. I just had to fix that. 🤣 It certainly doesn't appear it'll be hinging on Poilievre's comeback.

Swing...an' a missssss...

Hey, MAGA! You think Trump is deploying the military to cities to “reduce crime” – don’t you? That’s what he told you. Then why is he shifting funds away from violence prevention and local law enforcement and toward troops who stand in low-crime areas and don’t make arrests? Based on the known spending so far, the deployments cost Americans roughly two-thirds of a billion dollars, and this is expected to increase to into the billions. You need to learn that nothing Trump says should be taken at face value. Here’s the scoop. I’ve had a look at the U.S. Department of Justice Fiscal Year 2026 Budget and Performance Summary (June 13, 2025) – and these cuts are happening: $354 million cut from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (page 157) whose mission is this: The ATF protects communities from violent criminals, criminal organizations, illegal use and trafficking of firearms, illegal use and storage of explosives, acts of arson and bombings, and acts of terrorism. The ATF partners with communities, industries, law enforcement, and public safety agencies to safeguard the public through information sharing, training, research, and the application of technology. $207.5 million cut from the Office on Violence Against Women (page 169) – whose mission is this: The mission of the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is to provide Federal leadership to reduce violence against women, and to support the administration of justice for and strengthen services to all victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. $72.8 million cut from Community Oriented Policing Service (COPS) (page 177) – whose mission is this: The mission of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is to reduce crime and advance public safety through common sense, community policing. By proactively addressing the root causes of criminal and disorderly behavior, rather than simply responding to crimes once they have been committed, common sense efforts concentrate on preventing both crime and the atmosphere of fear it creates. Altogether, law enforcement components have been reduced by $1.4 billion (page 16) from 2025 to 2026. Instead of diverting funds to deploy military to cities, which is really only being done for show, that money would be better spent on solving America’s under-policing problem. Consider Washington, D.C., which has a police-officer shortage of about 800 cops. Filling every one of those positions would cost significantly less than the $200 million spent for the deployment to that city. And as all this happens, the Trump administration is cutting budgets to initiatives that reduce crime: In April, the DOJ’s Office of Justice Programs terminated 373 grants affecting 221 organizations for a total of $819.7 million that: … provided federal support for violence reduction, policing and prosecution, victims’ services, juvenile justice and child protection, substance use and mental health treatment, corrections and reentry, justice system enhancements, research and evaluation, and other state- and local-level public safety functions.

With the benefit of hindsight we can see that the Liberal government wasn’t in much danger of falling. Can we agree on that?

Please read a dictionary someday, if you even can. Artificial Imbecility could provide more intelligent responses. Take your milk and cookies and go play with your Playdough, some of the adults are trying to talk,

You don’t have to do anything. It would be nice if you honestly engaged, responded to things instead of running away.

That isn’t what happened. This is the proposed 2026 budget for the entirety of the DOJ and, whatever source you citied to cut and paste isn’t only looking at “law enforcement” budget items nor did it review the totality of the budget. Then somehow you ignorantly tried to conflate this proposed future budget of the DOJ to military spending today…

That guy has the most punchable face ever. The federal government has jurisdiction, regardless of that pro-China stooge thinks.

Like murdering people in International waters? That would be legal would it? See how smug you total dupes are if any troops ever pull a Kent State repeat.

Don't get confused by the myriad of other attacks on mom and son. This one is about 30 elementary school kids that attacked and sent both mom and son to hospital. The Texas National Guard was in Chicago to help with this b.s. But 6% (aka the mayor of Chicago) was dead set against it. Now a mom and her son have been hospitalized. I doubt the boy will ever go back to that school. If they can, they will probably move. All because they are not safe and their mayor would rather stick it to Trump than protect his citizens.

Well as we've seen that's a lie. The companies are leaving as well. What you're trying to do is downplay the seriousness of the situation. And that's really not appropriate, even if you are a liberal supporter this is a bad thing and you shouldn't be trying to pretend otherwise Was mentioned that's not the problem here. Taxes, regulation, expensive materials due to carbon taxes, a lack of trade within Canada so the customers are in the united states already, all of these things contribute massively to the issue and they are things that are within our control. So it is an absolute lie to suggest this is outside of our control The liberal government is perpetuating a number of business killing policies that is keeping new investment out of Canada and driving existing business out. You should care about this. Apparently you don't.

Liberals are at war with cheap/reliable energy, they're at war with exporting energy abroad, they're importing people who hate western culture, they screwed homeowners by putting interest rates below 2% and then jacking them up by 4% in one year, and every time you turn around someone else is in a trade war wit us now. India hates us, China treats us like leppers, and the US is in a trade war with us. Add to that our Libs are fomenting racial hatred within our country. Our country has downgraded so much in the past ten years that it's hard to remember what it was like in the Harper era.

Nobody is protecting Trump. We're opposing your asinine ideas.

Everything is illegal unless we are doing it. -- the Left

When will you learn to read to the end of the sentence? FFS I clearly mentioned that he did NOT make that deal in 4 days. But he jumped the queue because we were originally supposed to wait for US to sign their deal with Australia first and then piggyback off of it and the Americans were reportedly unaware of our move. Probably this move been under consideration by the Trudeau government, which Carney had been advising since September but Carney pulled the trigger on it.

You can be interoperable without having to buy only US gear on US terms where US profits handsomely and has us over a barrel on how and when it can be used. Our NATO allies in Europe produce lots of quality kit that is interoperable with USA. We don’t need to be “in lock step” just to be interoperable. As far as continental defence is concerned, which is separate discussion from “survival of NATO, nobody is invading North America. There is a SECURITY and SOVEREIGNTY threat, not an invasion threat. And to be honest, USA is also part of that sovereignty threat. A mixed fleet of F35 and Gripens can do the NORAD job just fine the vast majority of the time.

LOL I knew you were going to go there! You realize that you’ve gone from “so far he hasn’t accomplished anything which means he’s a failure” to saying “he can’t possibly take credit for these accomplishments he hasn’t been in office long enough”. Also if you’re not giving Carney credit then you’re giving Trudeau credit? Will you pick a narrative and stick with it? Also billion dollar government-to government deals aren’t the product of junior bureaucrats or military officers they’re negotiated at the highest levels of political government and lonand behold Carney and his cabinet have been frequent visitors to Germany specifically over submarines, Bombardier aircraft, critical minerals and more. You’ll recall that Carney signed a partnership agreement with Germany just this summer. Germany had been looking at multiple systems for it’s naval fleet but the decision to select Canada’s system is likely a result of agreements and relations Carney has been promoting around the world. He’s not negotiating one-off sales deals he’s negotiating comprehensive political and economic relationships that span multiple industrial sectors and political issues. He’s not negotiating transactions he building deep relationships Oh look there he goes again : Oh look there’s another one just today: Carney secures $70-billion investment pledge from UAE as he concludes visit Prime Minister Mark Carney says Ottawa is working on a $1-billion project aimed at expanding critical minerals processing capacity in Canada, while securing the equivalent of $70-billion in investment from the United Arab Emirates. The announcements come as Carney concluded a visit to Abu Dhabi, which focused heavily on trade amid concerns about the war in Sudan. “I’m pleased that an agreement valued over $1-billion is in the process of being finalized,” Carney said in a Friday morning speech to the Canada-UAE Business Council. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-carney-canada-uae-investment-summit-abu-dhabi/?login=true

Marvie. What illegal orders might you be insinuating?

What was the lie? If you really want to bow out and run away... just stop posting. LOL

That's not science kiddo. That's just an opinion piece. There's no science in there.

I don't need to. You are the one playing this dumb game. Brought up what? No you have not. Projection. "If"

Correction on that last one, the tribunal found t the NVG bid was biased TOWARDS US firms. I posted a few recent defence deals with European defence firms that are the direct result of the federal government’s initiatives. What the anti-liberals do in their criticism is try to take advantage of the fact an entire project plays put over time, it isn’t conceived, planned and executed in a single day. So they go through this set of arguments : “Oh its just talking, there’s no signed agreement , oh they signed an agreement but that’s just words on paper, nothing is being done, oh somethings being done but no thanks to them, someone else must’ve made those plans before” The submarine project is moving at an extremely fast pace for example, we are already down to our final 2 candidates. A $6Bn Arctic OTH radar deal was signed just 4 days after Carney took office back in March. Critical minerals and energy projects are getting announced across the country left right and centre. Not true see my post above You also predicted in this very thread that the budget wasn’t going to have any new money for defence even though that’s all they have been talking about since March it’s literally the centrepiece of their entire platform and strategy that they’ve been traveling the country and the world to showcase.

You. Are. A. Sad. Pathetic. Lying. Coward.

Want some dressing and croutons with that?

Democrats like @robosmith: OMG Trump is Hitler removing all these illegal immigrants! also OMG Trump is not removing anyone, nothing to brag about!

I just hope that those farmers do not have their bank and credit card accounts frozen like they did to the truckers during their convoy to Ottawa. I would suggest that those farmers take plenty of money out of their bank just in case the communist globalist lieberals try and do the same thing to the farmers. hey, we never know, eh? This is the new normal in Canada now. Freeze peoples bank and credit card accounts if they refuse to kiss the commie liberals azzes in Ottawa. Just a suggestion from just another patriotic conservative Canadian who loves his Canadian farmers. Good luck, my farmer friends. 😇

Well then, i may just attend the farmers convoy if there are no bouncy castles for me to play on. This is disgusting indeed. What is Canada coming too. LOL. But besides that. I hope that the farmers will be able to put an end to the globalist lieberal agenda of wanting to create and put cloned meat in our grocery stores. And they told the grocery store owners that they did not have to label the meat as to whether the meat was real meat or cloned meat. Canada ?????????

You're not debating in good faith

This sounds mean, but I don't think that helping FN people, to the extent that we do, is good for them. Look at the Jews, for example. In the ME and Europe, all anyone ever does is slaughter them or discriminate against them, and try to crush them economically. But the Jews are doing a pretty good job of making money and defending themselves from 2B muslims who want them all dead. Im not saying that we should turn muslim and try to kill all the FN people, but the free homes, free money, free university tuition, free dental, free medical, lack of income taxes, etc, doesn't seem to be helping them. They survived 15,000 years in the frozen north with sticks and stones, but they're not doing so well in the age of cars and central heating.

Someone demonstrating such a level of political ignorance calling others bufoons.... as funny as Trump calling someone else Piggy...

Oh, piddle, paddle, fiddle, faddle. Suddenly you guys are sticklers?? The thing is, once a person is recognized as a liar, once he is shown to lie so casually and easily, how can you believe anything he says? Lying is a matter of course for Trump. Here’s a few of the lies he recently threw out. In his recent 60 Minutes interview, this is what Trump said: Do you know how many presidents have used the Insurrection Act? … Almost 50% of 'em. Do you know that some of the presidents, recent ones, have used it 28 times? Twenty-eight times. The Insurrection Act has been used routinely by presidents. I haven't chosen to use it, but if I-- because I've done well without it. But if I needed it, I could do it. And if I needed it, that would mean I could bring in the Army, the Marines, I could bring in whoever I want. But I haven't chosen to use it. I hope you give me credit for that. No. According to the Brennan Centre, not 50% of presidents have invoked the Resurrection Act, and no president has invoked it 28 times. In fact, it has only been invoked a total of 30 times since 1794. The president who invoked it the most times, and it wasn’t a recent one, was Ulysses Grant in the years following the Civil War. He invoked it six times, mostly to contain violence from white supremacist groups, including following the Vicksburg massacre of freed Blacks in Mississippi. But it seems this time Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act on the side of the white supremacist groups. Another lie - in a recent post, he said that the shutdown cost America $1.5 trillion. More of his pulling imaginary numbers out of thin air. (It was in the same post that he said, “Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap.” – of the Epstein “hoax” – what blatant manipulation! - I think the only one setting the trap is him.) https://www.instagram.com/p/DQ-Gjw6DpCH/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== The shutdown will cost the economy billions (estimates range between 7-11 billion dollars for each week of the shut down) but that is no-where near $1.5 trillion. And here’s a whopper – his tariffs “saved the entire world from depression” - according to him. How can you in any way shape or from take this person seriously?

I wonder if the founding fathers were accused of having King George derangement syndrome.

Because Trump's chief obligation is to the citizenry, not to foreigners, and there are a lot of citizens here who need help.

I thought that was the one you meant, but the words you used have different meanings than hollowing and weakening, which means to the point of the federal government not being able to do their jobs or provide needed services. For example - not paying federal public defenders since July (action 1775), undermining the independence of the FDA (action 1772), dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (action 1749), closing seismic monitoring stations in Alaska (action 1729) ... and so on ... You're the one that made it about illegal immigration for some unfathomable reason! All dumped by Trump.

that wasn't a category. You made that up. Talk about obtuse! If the only thing you are aware of is "enforcing immigration laws" and completely in the dark about the myriad of ways in which Trump is turning the presidency into an autocracy, you are woefully uninformed.

They're mad at Trudeau.

He's only Interim... thank God. But he did find a way for them to object to the Budget without bringing down the govt and committing Party suicide. Just as May did by choosing minimal environment support over risking total backwards abandonment of all supports. At least tonight I can sleep and dream about PeePee LePew curled on the floor, srying, kicking, pounding fists and screaming throwing a total tantrum.

Ukraine has achieved parity on the battlefield and turned a three day special military operation into an endless litany of desertions, dysentery and death for the invader. Meanwhile, Russia is running out of fuel as Ukraine destroys refineries and power plants across the country, drone sanctions having given the half-hearted efforts of the West much needed teeth. Inflation is out of control and workers are not being paid. This is more like 1917 than 1941. A foreign war has become a catastrophe for the tsars’ wretched successor and a coup is ever more likely. May it be soon.

It speaks to the focus on the book. It is not about self-improvement, but conquest. This is something you guys always do in defense of Islam. You pretend to equate the books despite them being so wildly different. There are no biblical quotes that instruct people to kill homosexuals that I'm aware of. Could you cite them? Something like this, for example? "And those two of you who commit it (the shameful act), torture them both". or As narrated by Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas. ؓ the Holy Prophet ﷺ said: "If you find someone doing what the people of Lot did, kill both the doer and the one with whom it is done. (op. cit.) If the holy book is mostly about peace, especially if the nasty bits have been reinterpreted (as the gay ones in the bible have been) by religious scholars over the years, sure. Islam is not such a religion. It is filled with stories of conquest and torture and murder of the unbelievers, and champions doing such things. It is not merely a piece of it you have to ignore. The core of Islam is about conquering others. No, they don't. There are no Islamic scholars who say homosexuality is okay or that women should have the same rights as men. Oh, come on. This is not a discussion about how barbaric Christianity was in previous centuries. Glad I don't live there. Don't want to live among crazy, violent religious people. And yet, Islam has not done so. Every. Single. One? You were just mentioning earlier how different Muslim cultures are. Some are in the Pacific. Some in Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. How are all Muslim cultures across the world backward? We aren't 100 years ahead. We're several hundred years ahead. Islam has not had a reformation and won't. It is keeping Muslim countries back economically, scientifically, and socially. It's not like these countries have been in ignorance about the changes elsewhere over the past few centuries. They simply refuse to do the same. When Guttenberg invented the printing press it was banned in the Muslim world for 250 years. More books were translated into Spanish last year than have EVER been translated into Arabic. There are 9 technicians, scientists and, engineers per 1000 people in the Muslim world vs 141 in the West. The principal topic of study in all Muslim countries from kindergarten through university is Islam. Those who know about China would still say it. It's still a brutal, autocratic regime that practices torture, murder, and genocide. Do you want to live under such a regime?

No, it's just you throwing up your ubiquitous smoke-screens - your pedantic deflection and obfuscation because you can't actually debate the subject matter. Instead of arguing the actual point, you want to argue about my verbiage. It's pathetic, and just further highlights your lack of intellectual credibility. A retarded one, yes. That's the point. Economic "partnerships" are not security guarantees in any way shape or form. Russia has offered the same to Trump, highlighting how the USA can get mineral access to Ukraine with or without future Ukrainian sovereignty. Now that Trump has shown his true colors and is making life easy for Putin, you've come full circle and are now repeating Nationalist's reasoning. I don't think anyone here is surprised how quickly your convictions on Ukraine evaporated once your Orange Messiah started pissing all over them. 🤡🤡🤡

As usual, the only argument you can provide is insisting on a dumb straw-man. Your characterization of my claim is completely bogus, and as usual, even after clarification, you can't move on and actually argue the point. It's just deflect, deflect and obfuscate with you, every time. This isn't an argument. This is just repeating the retarded claim. Economic partnership provides no security guarantee, just like Chinese investment in Mariupol didn't prevent that city from getting flattened. Donald Trump's "negotiating for peace" so far has amounted to nothing more than weakening Ukraine's position. He's done Putin nothing but favors, and that isn't strawman. 🤡

LOL nope! The context is that Ukraine didn't want to sign a deal with no security guarantees, and the Trumpian Circus tried to claim that getting mineral rights were somehow American security guarantees. Your typically useless and pedantic deflections over verbiage don't address the absurdity of those claims, or the fact that you can't actually offer an argument about it! Because if history has taught us anything, the best way to negotiate with bullying dictators is to strengthen their position and hobble their opponents, right!? Those fumes you're huffing? I want some too! 🤣👌

It's not any type of security guarantee, and the fact that Trump and his administration are proposing otherwise is farcical. Uselessly reaching with more of your limp word games doesn't change the above, nor the fact that (as usual) you don't actually have an argument to make about it! 🙃 That was the point. You weren't making one. "Trump has said many things?" Okay. We're talking about the retarded, outright lies he's been telling, and the only thing we can get back from you is "that was stupid but...(here's how I cope with the cognitive dissonance)". At any rate, it is pretty funny watching you scrambling for these goofy answers, realizing in your subconscious that everything Trump has done so far in his search for peace has helped Russia and hurt Ukraine's ability to defend itself. He's now: 1) Declared Ukraine started the war, and that Zelensky is a dictator, thus handing Putin a massive propaganda win. 2) He's halted military aid. 3) He's halted intelligence sharing just a start. What steps has he taken against Russia? 😆

My claim is that Zelensky didn't sign because of a lack of security guarantees, and that Trump and his sycophants are comically out there trying to spin a mineral rights deal as a security guarantee. Your limp word games are yet another of your deep intellectual dishonesty - something you complain about ad nauseum on this forum. The air has oxygen in it is also a fact. Congratulations on using words. "He has said many things." 🤣 Congratulations on using words again.

What sort of silliness are you playing at here? First you question who said it, then when you're shown, you go back and try to argue the exact point I was mocking in the first place? A mineral agreement is in no way, shape or form even remotely a kind of security guarantee for Ukraine. It's absurd to even suggest it is, and for a long list of reasons. What a comfy fantasy world you live in. When the Orange Buffoon makes yet another deeply stupid and destructive comment that contrasts with your viewpoint on Ukraine, your brain glosses over and makes excuses for it. "He didn't mean it. He backed off...etc etc etc". It doesn't matter. He said it. He meant it. It's being played and repeated in Russia to Putin's delight.

"They also understand that this agreement that was supposed to be signed today was supposed to be an agreement that binds America economically to Ukraine, which, to me, as I’ve explained and I think the President alluded to today, is a security guarantee in its own way because we’re involved; it’s now us, it’s our interests." - Senator Marco Rubio https://www.state.gov/secretary-of-state-marco-rubio-with-kaitlan-collins-of-cnn/ WhOoPs? Okay fair. So what about his Putin propaganda echoing? Where's your comment on that??? Is this more of MAGA's pick-and-choose what Trump meant and didn't, as it suits you? 🙃
