Sure i do. tonnes of it. I live in canada, i talk to literally hundreds of other canadians on a regular basis, i watch canadian news and know what's on it. I'm literally an expert on being canadian. So my expert opinion is that this is a massive nothingburger in Canada We're just not interested.

Discussing the issue with subhominids that think extrajudicial murder is justice and braggarts who mistake ugliness for greatness is a waste of time. Yeah CANADA objects, the rest of the World objects and most Americans object. Only you rot agree.

You're right about tax payers and politicians having the final say... that's just how it works whether people like it or not. As to US proprietary control over all things F35, it was always a valid concern and it was factored into the previous selection process... most senior RCAF Officers acknowledge it, they don't like it anymore than you and I do, but nonetheless, the two previous selection efforts favoured the F35 in spite of it. This third incarnation is politically motived (nothing wrong with that BTW) but it finds us re-debating the same issues that were previously examined and decided on. There's an additional twist here too IMO, as a result of popular dislike for Trump we seem to have decided that interoperability is now less important than it was yesterday and the horror of a mixed fleet is now less horrible as well. If we are going that route (which will take 40 years to walk BTW) I hope it isn't motivated by a collective dislike of Trump... I think that will pass very soon after he does. So, while your point above is commonly shared and worthy of consideration, I think it holds more sway in political circles than it does in military ones. The US has a vested interest in NORAD and they've invested pretty heavily in it. That commitment has been self sustaining over decades despite other political blips and past trade disputes. For good or ill, most military folks see that regular combined training continues, the sharing of intelligence / information remains intact and US support for cooperation in matters of mutual defence remains strong. As a result, they"re more inclined to look at all things Trump as a bump in a long road that won't be paved until he's gone anyway.

Eyeball, 1. Have you ever seen feral dogs/cats in third world countries? 2. You live in coastal, fantasy-land, lottery-rich, limousine-liberal, finding-myself BC. I live in urban Montreal.

I remember my grandmother (on one side) and my grandfather (on the other side). (My two other grandparents died before I was born, of currently curable afflictions.... ) As kids say today, all were biological. Did you meet, do you remember your four grandparents? Do you think males need a grandparent? The role of duty, gender and intergenerational care in grandmothers’ parenting of grandchildren: a phenomenological qualitative study - PMC

We live in an age in which spectacle replaces reality. MAGA is goo-goo-ga-ga for the shows Trump puts on. He keeps the base occupied while he goes about his dishonest, corrupted way and turns the country upside-down. That Americans are susceptible to spectacle is well established – Consider the “American saves the day” literary trope. The MAGA movement is hypnotized by spectacle more than anyone else. (Must be that lack of critical thinking skills) Get them narco-terrorists! Trump is the president of spectacle – images meant to capture attention – like blowing up of boats in the ocean and the cruelty dealt on the city streets by masked ICE – all meant to divert attention away from the decimation of programs that help American people and the Epstein files and Trump’s corruption. And Trump continues to make a spectacle of himself – posting himself as the pope, or a superhero, or a movie star. It seems like so much of the Trump administration’s spectacle is a nonstop, never-ending monologue of self-praise. In his 1967 book, The Society of Spectacle, Guy Debord makes the case that spectacle – propaganda – is one of the most important tools of the authoritarian. The book begins with this quote from the Preface to the Second Edition of The Essence of Christianity But for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, appearance to essence, ... truth is considered profane, and only illusion is sacred. Sacredness is in fact held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be seen as the highest degree of sacredness. MAGA is held captive by the illusions Trump has created for them.

I've been saying that they were like slaves for years: they do all the shittiest jobs receive ridiculously low wages for them they can only afford to live in shitty, cramped homes they work for the wealthiest people. they don't get voting rights they don't get full access to services, etc If you compare how slaves lived 2,000 years ago to the way illegals live in the US today it's not all that different.

The people who need to see something like that are the virtuous white knights who see our immigration system as a kind of world charity to raise poor people up out of poverty and give them a better life here. But they're also the sort of self-satisfied people who won't bother themselves listening to or watching anything that contradicts their worldview.

Trump was never a brilliant business manager, but he did play one on TV and mastered the CON.

All the provinces have governments as does the entire country of Canada and your LIES about "none government" are not going to change those FACTS. Your post is evidence of your INSANITY.

Does the merit of the action in question depend on who gives the orders? I bring this up because on the subject of deportations, Obama deported more people than Trump has to date and back then, there was hardly a peep of protest about it while it was happening. And if those narco boats were heading to Suriname and ultimately destined to end up in Europe, there are still a lot of lives saved the decision to destroy those boats. I don't have a lot of sympathy for those engaged in the drug cartel business when they lose their lives. They have caused an enormous amount of harm to societies all over the world.

Politicians of all stripes have an uncanny knack for accumulating a lot of wealth while they are in office, well beyond their political salaries. On the debate stage, Carney had publicly singled out and praised a particular company(Westinghouse) that he has shares in. Carney is fully aware of which companies he has shares in and therefore which policy directions will boost those shares. I counted at least 5 major US oil companies that Carney has shares in from that list. His support for more pipelines in Canada is lackluster at best since there are so many conditions that must be met in order for pipelines to proceed. It's unlikely that any will be built as long as he is PM. It has been suggested that he opposes Canadian oil because it would be more competition for his Brookfield shares in foreign oil companies. Yes, it's just the way things are that politicians have a giant leg up on the rest of us when it comes to enriching themselves.

How is Trump "erasing" Europe, you piece of shit? Foreigners have been FLOODING the West for God knows how long. That sounds a helluva lot more like a Joe Biden thing to do. Isolating Ukraine is a good thing - it has a terrible leader and it's in desperate need for strong leadership.

Exactly, and seeing all you offer is bullshit, bullshit is what you get. But what did it say about your obsessive behavior? Obsessive fixation / parasocial vendetta Emotional dysregulation + poor impulse control Erotization of conflict (aggression as intimacy) Externalized locus of control Attention-seeking + victim identity solidification Possible personality pathology In plain terms: after a few months this behavior is already unusual. After years of near-exclusive angry posting to one person, it’s almost diagnostic of an obsession that has overtaken the poster’s life. For a few years now, the vast vast vast majority of your posts are you randomly seeking me out to pick a fight. Like over 90 percent. I'm not sure that an obsessive, parasocial emotinally dysregulated externalized attention seeking victimized pathological personality who erotizes conflict really has anything to offer with regards to mental health advice LOLOLOL By the way, you share those traits with x-flier almost one to one. Are you two dating yet? LOL

Of course they can. Remember when obama sent the military to a FRIENDLY country to kill a person he didn't like without trial? Remember all the drone strikes? Almost every single president i can think of has authorized the use of military force to kill people outside of a conflict without trial. "gunboat" diplomacy is a term that came into existence because the american president of the day sent warships to shoot up uncooperative nations. Is this your first year reading history EVER?

Says the pro abortion guy Every single day in America and many other countries including Canada tens of thousands of people are being murdered. There's a war in ukraine where civvies are killed regularly, tens of thousands have died You expect me to get worked up because trump killed some druggie? If it were my gov't then sure i'd care, but it isn't and it's just not that big a deal to me. If i worried about every person who was getting murdered out there i'd be insane in 5 minutes.

You making up LIES does not make them true.

“Evidence of” is a phrase meant to characterize what you are doing… you didn’t have to literally say evidence. Just like you are continuing to do now as you list out “evidence” to back up your assertion. If your argument is that he should have better and more important things to do… OK. That isn’t a mental issue argument. Asking me a question isn’t supporting your case. It’s not my job to disprove the assertion you can’t back up with any real evidence or good argument.

IMO...I dont buy the idea that Russia had to retreat from the road to Kiev. I just dont think Putin or the Russians want to "rule" all of Ukraine, nor do I think they'd really want to level Kiev. I think they really dislike The Green T-Shirt and want him out of power. I also think that the way this war has been executed, clearly exhibits that. For instance, why did Yevgeny Prigozhin get pissed at Putin? Because Putin wouldn't let him run over the Ukrainian forces and take Kiev. He paid a rather high price for that. No...it makes no sense to take over all of Ukraine. Its a money-pit. Its historically significant in Russian history. And now...it sounds like the pressure Trump is using to get them to stop...is working...albeit slowly.

War crimes. lol I'm not kidding: a 1+1 expulsion program needs to be implemented IMMEDIATELY. 1 alien gone + 1 democrat gone = life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for TRUE Americans.

Like most people posting in here, I'm no expert in the field of aviation. But from what I've read on this subject, the F-35 seems like the better choice for Canada. There is something else that must be considered. Many of Mark Carney's major policy initiatives just so happen to be beneficial to Brookfield. As we all know, he has a considerable amount of shares (mostly in American companies). If you scroll down to page 10 of this link, you'll see that Carney has shares in Lockheed-Martin, who build the F-35. https://prciec-rpccie.parl.gc.ca/Lists/Declarations/Attachments/43657/Appendix Summary Statement - Annexe Declaration Sommaire.pdf This fact alone is probably the most important consideration with this huge procurement. This video was pretty interesting. Both former fighter pilots discussing the pros and cons of each jet.

Oh wow… and here is what ChatGPT said about what you are doing: It sounds like this person is using the number of posts as a weapon to attack someone’s character, essentially implying that anyone who posts frequently must have a shallow or unbalanced life. But honestly, it’s a pretty reductive and judgmental view. The number of posts someone makes on a forum can be influenced by a ton of different factors—maybe they’re passionate about the issues being discussed, or they just like the community, or they even find it a helpful outlet to stay engaged with ideas and events. But to automatically tie that behavior to someone being "dysfunctional" or "empty" is overly simplistic and misses the complexity of how people use online spaces. What’s frustrating here is that they seem to be projecting their own assumptions onto others—probably without recognizing that they, too, are deeply invested in the forum. If they’re arguing with people about their posting habits while consistently participating, they’re in a way doing the same thing! It’s almost like they’re trying to defend their own level of engagement while criticizing others, which can come off as hypocritical.

No, you are not. I gave you a response to your dishonest post above… you ignored all that. This behavior is all you have left.

Do you know what a double-tap is? They sent a second strike to kill the survivors. This is most definitely murder (which, by the way, so was the first strike since the US is not at war with the boat operators). Besides, it has been established that the boat was not even heading to the US. It was going to Suriname. When Trump said, “The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States.” – he was lying.

That it was murder has been established beyond a doubt. That leaves two possible positions: You either believe the president of the US or the secretary of defense can commit murder, or you don't.

Maybe Trump still believes his name on the building increases its value for rental.

It works on older people. They still tend to get the vast majority of their media from CBC and global. Younger people who are more exposed to the internet are vastly more likely to vote for Poilievre and support him. Both the polling numbers before and since the election and the election results themselves strongly indicate that this is true. Where the CBC is the sole or primary source of information yes it absolutely works. With younger people who have access to forums and YouTube and alternative media where the truth can actually be exposed and they get both sides of the story, not so much

Dude, a 50-yr-old electrician told me that "Poilievre is too negative and he has never done anything besides work as a politician" this week. It wasn't like a communist barista that said that, or a pet-therapist, a BLM rioter with an X burned into her forehead, or a 24-yr-old school teacher... a full-grown working man said that shit. CBC's propaganda just works. Somehow, people all over this country still believe what they see on CBC. I'm starting to think that some of these people still secretly believe in Santa but they're too afraid to say it.

Canada has way too many anti free speech laws that the WEF globalist Zionist communist government in Ottawa is trying to create and force thru. The dictator of Canada Marx Carnage is truly one very evil and a serious threat to Canada and Canadians. I know that in the UK anyone can be thrown in the communist UK gulag for daring to question or challenge or even talk about on social media. What Canada needs right now is Trump like leader who will end all of these anti free speech C Bills being proposed in Marxist Ottawa. And we have our own pro lieberal members here who thinks that it is all just conspiracy talk and nonsense. They will soon find out when and if Canada goes communist. They will not have any access to this website anymore. This website will surely be gone. Believe it or not. 😱 PS: The EU must be abolished. The EU are also trying to stifle free speech in Europe. ☹️

This is what kills me. Harpers big "Corruption" may have been that he forced taxpayers to get their money back from a scumbag. Which makes him about as corrupt as robin hood i guess. Whereas justin made prince john look good. He fired a cabinet minister over ordering 14 dollar orange juice. Justin spent a quarter of a million dollars on AIRPLANE FOOD and snacks in a week. But @Barquentine and his ilk would pretend that somehow it's HARPER that's corrupt. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

TBH, what's going to end up happening is you won't be allowed to reference the hate messages in other people's religions, while lying about the Catholic church remains in vogue. You can say things like "every kid that went to the residential schools was raped and every Canadian knew that was happening" despite the fact that it's not even remotely true, but you can't say "mohammed married a pre-pubescent child and had sexual relations with her, and he committed actual genocides" even though those are indisputable historical facts.

Dude, you couldn't come with any defence at all, so instead of staying quiet you decided to let "Poilievre will probably do it too" fly outta your worthless gob?

We will be. It will be. Earth is my pedestal. Everything is connected. Do you really have to wait until a Russian nuke is smuggled into the ME to realize that?

Why? We'll need to procure equipment to go clean up the mess in the ME. It sure seems to me Israel and Hamas are increasingly finding themselves backed into a corner if international condemnation is anything to go by. The world is getting fed up with it all. Now there's even talk of an international effort to govern Gaza so there you go. Things seem to be moving in the direction I've suggested they need to go.

What aid are you talking about, then?

Do your own homework. Read the report. It’s believed the KGB had a file on Trump as early as 1977 - the year he married Ivana Zelnickova, a citizen of a communist country, and therefore of interest both to the Czech intelligence service, the StB, and to the FBI and CIA. By the mid-1980s, a KGB memo expressed disappointment in their lack of success in recruiting American citizens. Enter Donald Trump. The KGB paid for his trip to Moscow in 1987, where they stayed in Lenin’s suite at the National Hotel. He was groomed as a “confidential contact.” They charmed him, and used flattery on him, and “worked on him [Trump] like honey to a bee,” for he is easily manipulated. GRU operative Suvorov was personally involved in recruitment … Soviet spy agencies were always interested in cultivating “young ambitious people” … a “guy with a future” … Once in Moscow, the Trumps received lavish hospitality. “Everything is free. There are good parties with nice girls. It could be a sauna and girls and who knows what else.” The hotel rooms or villa were under “24-hour control” with “security cameras and so on,” Suvorov said. “The interest is only one. To collect information and keep that information about him for the future.” When Trump got home, he took out full page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe criticizing US foreign policy. The Hidden History of Trump's First Trip to Moscow

I know it’s difficult for MAGA to understand that when others criticize Trump, and explain the very many reasons he is not fit to be president of the USA, that this does not involve hate, but concern over troubling trends. I think it is projection, projection of the hate they feel for anyone who dares express a word against their dear leader, since they have fused their identities with him, as well as their shared hate for certain groups, like immigrants and Democrats.

There is a law, carney is changing it. See how that works? Now don't you regret supporting the libs again? LOLOL Powerlessness? They have all the power in the world to be corrupt if they want. What the hell are you talking about? The only group that can hold them to account is the voters. But you keep supporting their corruption. Hell you say you don't even want to bother with elections, they're pointless. But in reality that's how you deal with corruption. Your 'x' aways goes to the libs and their corruption. You're fine with it. And if the libs are corrupt and the country suffers oh well, that's fine as long as you got to Pown the conservatives amirite?

I imagine that since you've actually climbed inside Trump's ass, it's created a real echo chamber. A. Despite firing the labor statistics chief and appointing someone new--and asking them to stop reporting monthly numbers--the methodology is currently unchanged. He's explicitly trying to cook the books, but hasn't yet succeeded, so the jobs numbers are apples to apples. B. The economy is not the stock market. C. The idea that an economy that literally cannot bear price increases is somehow healthy is insane. D. Yes, prices absolutely have gone up as a result of the tariffs. Categories exposed to import sourcing are climbing rapidly. You're saying insane shit here, and your Chinese manufactured crazy pills are gonna get more expensive. Tax Foundation "To assess the impacts of the tariffs on retail prices of both domestic and imported goods, a team of Harvard economists has been tracking retail prices using real-time barcode data. The latest data through early October show that tariffs have raised retail prices on average by about 4.9 percentage points relative to the pre-tariff trend, 6.0 percentage points for imported goods and 4.3 percentage points for domestic goods. Several goods have experienced notably large price increases, including apparel (8.99 percentage points), coffee and tea (7.5 percentage points), cameras (7.5 percentage points), household textiles (6.2 percentage points), and furniture (6.5 percentage points)." E. Trump tariffs actually *reversed* falling price trends from 2024 F. Car prices are absolutely NOT down. They've also reduced a post-COVID falling trend to spike back up under Trump. FED CPI data F. Trump has as much control over the price of eggs and gas as Biden did, which is to say virtually none. Did he cure avian flu? Did he subsidize egg farmers? Did he somehow isolate US gas and oil from the global market? No? Then what's he doing to inspire all your fawning? You ought to poke your head out from time to time and ingest some real news.

You say this as if Europe was something drawn on paper and Trump could just erase them. It makes no sense. None. Also, stop being a lazy spambot.

Why don't you outline what you think makes this a love letter to Russia and a break-up letter to Europe and Canada. Otherwise, like most of the crap you post on here, it is little more than a baseless assertion. Another outlandish lie.

This has been nothing but a left-wing absurd conspiracy theory. A lie.

No, by people who can read the writing on the wall. The evidence is overwhelming that he is on Russia's side. In November, the Trump Administration released The National Security Strategy of the USA - and it is basically a break-up letter to Europe and Canada, and a love letter to Russia. I have no opinion about the hookers, and I think they are irrelevant to this discussion, but it's as plain as the nose on your face that Russia provided a lot of help to Trump, and still do. Don't get hung up on the word "collusion" - it's a red herring. Recently, X quietly rolled out a new feature: if you click on an account’s “Joined” date, it now shows the country or region the account is based in. And, lo and behold, all kinds of MAGA/US Patriot accounts based in Russia were revealed. Here’s one – MAGA Nation - (392,400 followers) Remember the news story from 2024 about the Russia-based bot farm impersonating Americans? US officials say they have taken action against an AI-powered information operation run from Russia, including nearly 1,000 accounts pretending to be Americans. The accounts on X were designed to spread pro-Russia stories but were automated “bots” - not real people. In court documents made public Tuesday the US justice department said the operation was devised by a deputy editor at Kremlin-owned RT, formerly Russia Today. He's been a Russian asset since the 1980s. First, you need to learn that the Trump administration is incompetent and lazy. If Russia does the homework for them, they would welcome that. Second, you need to know that the Kremlin says one thing and does another. It's in their strategy to sometimes play opposite to what their real intentions are. They are way more cagey than you or me. You must learn to never take at face value anything the Kremlin says. I have no personal feelings for Trump. Quit it with that condescending attitude.

We're talking about defense of the country and supplying the best equipment to those willing to pay the supreme sacrifice. There is no doubt that the final decision will be political to a certain degree - more the pity.

There has been much speculation that it was indeed written in Russian and then later translated, as much of the language and demands shows. Poland’s prime minister, Donald Tusk, remarked: “It would be good to know for sure who is the author of the plan and where was it created.” Supposedly drawn up by Kirill Dmitriev, Vladimir Putin’s envoy, with Steve Witkoff, nevertheless a group of US senators said Rubio told them the text was not an American one. It was, they said, a Russian document deliberately leaked by Moscow which the US then passed on to Ukraine. I'm not sure why you think that the peace plan being drawn up by the Russians to be so far-fetched. Trump has been a Russian asset for years. No. Because it is Putin.

Im not installing Instagram just to watch whiney trash. I seem to remember Trump saying the economy would take time to turn. And it is turning. Enough now that it's beginning to show. This scares the b'jeebers out of the Libbies. On its current trajectory, the US economy will be in great shape the summer before the mid-terms. All you'll have left will be to scold the electorate for voting for prosperity. Good luck with that...

Herbie, Coloured people? I have been to a few other US cities. In Atlanta, I sensed that blacks ran the show. A new version of Africa. As kids say, it was a vibe.
