      When lawyers tell Justin Trudeau the details of a pending law suit, they count his tears. Every tear is worth $1M.

    The question was directed to MH. Your quote was posted to show someone already asked for a cite.
  3. OftenWrong
    Request for a cite was already made: Just curious, why did you say you would like this to be true?
  4. OftenWrong
    You would like to see Ontario downgraded for no reason? There is no cite, it never happened.
  5. OftenWrong
    Your rebuttal to that comment is pointless. A gross generalization that cannot be proven, has no basis in fact.

    Thanks for the updates, because I don't get to watch these games during the day. I watched a highlight of England vs. Tunisia, looked like a pretty close game. Seems England has some new players, hopefully some of them know how to kick a ball.

    Already explained to you what we did in Iraq. Not just a few troops, hundreds. Canada provided more than some so-called coalition nations. But this is wandering off topic. I have no idea what you are talking about re: schooled on immigration. That too is probably off topic. Your attempt at thinly veiled insults is boring and immature, and tells me your out of your depth in this conversation. No problem.
  8. OftenWrong
    If that's what you really think, you bought into some lies, fella. Canada did not actually say "No" to Iraq, and honoured much more than needed in Afghanistan. Canada still provided troops, as well as ships and supplies in Iraq. Canadian pilots flew combat missions. The Afghanistan mission was extended voluntarily beyond the UN commitment by Harper. No doubt he scored some choice business deals with the US in that exchange. All we get to see is the Canadian PM grand-standing, as though the government has some kind of justified moral cause, all the while behind the scenes they are genuflecting and kissing American ass. There is far too much at stake for Canada economically, and in other ways, military defence for example. JT's fear of Trump in the HOC today exemplifies this.

    Canucks must follow in lock-step with the US, else conflicts will arise, of a most unfortunate nature. But unfortunately we are always a few years behind and playing catch-up. Hence Chretien follows Clinton, Harper follows Bush, Trudeau follows Obama. Once the "adjustment" is made, fear drops. Maybe the reason Canadians fear Trump is because... we only have a Trudeau!
  10. OftenWrong
    Your data is a little old. Trump's approval rating within America increased steadily every month since January 2018, which is verifiable, but I don't know what it did worldwide. I doubt that it improved at all. Americans seem to like their bad-boy president. Well, some do. As far as Canada goes, most Canadians have little idea of the inner workings of US federal and state law, let alone their history, so we are easily swayed and mislead. Most people don't know all the issues relating to illegals entering the US, but form opinions based on what little they know, and what the CBC opinion panels tell them. Finally the only poll that matters is the election. Getting back to Canada, the election of Ford is real evidence. Ontarians were tired of too many years of liberal leadership, and it was time to move on. Doug Ford is the backlash. For liberals, the bogeyman has come out of the closet.
  11. OftenWrong
    Despise is a good word, some will certainly despise him. So I googled "Trump approval rating Canada" which came up with some links showing widespread disapproval of Trump in Canada, and that Canadians disapprove of Trudeau just as much or more. One link points to the recent victory of Doug Ford in Ontario as indicator - Echoes of Trump in Canada as Ontario heads to the polls Doug Ford... enjoyed a strong lead in opinion polls ahead of Ontario’s June 7 election. Ontario is Canada’s economic engine and is critical to Trudeau re-election efforts next year.

    I would respond but you are off topic, fella. This is about Canadians fear of Trump.

    Trudeau Suggests It’s Not His Place To Condemn Trump’s Migrant Child Policy There's your bold, dynamic Liberal leader, Justin Trudeau. Scared to say.
  14. OftenWrong
    No one supports a petulant, cowardly bully. Maybe you think you're seeing something that's just not there. That is why I oppose Trudeau, because he and his kind are also bullies. A bully backs down when challenged, and we can clearly see that in little Justin.
  15. OftenWrong
    Hopefully he will not bankrupt his own economy, eh? But it doesn't seem to be going that way at all. More likely he'd bankrupt ours, and that's why Trudeau et al are now silent.
  16. OftenWrong
    You know why. Apparently ideology has a price, or as that saying of yours goes... Trump wields the economy like a sword. Economics, is his virtue!
  17. OftenWrong
    Trump's bellicose tweets toward Trudeau and other Canadian officials has certainly shrivelled their dicks.

    Justin Trudeau the Bold, effectively silenced-

    Trudeau Suggests It’s Not His Place To Condemn Trump’s Migrant Child Policy

    When asked in the HOC what he was going to do about it, he said

    "From the very beginning I have been very clear on the role that Canadians expect of me — to stand up firmly and unequivocally for our values, for our interests, to protect Canadians and to make sure that we're doing well, as well as having a constructive relationship with the United States," Trudeau said. "That's what we're going to remain focused on. What we will not do, is play politics with this."

    In other words "I was told to shut my mouth, and that's what I'ma gonna do."

      That situation wasn't the result of a president's policy, but it still sounds terrible. Why wasn't the media covering that?...oh, I guess it did. So what's your point?

      Of course it sounds terrible... and it is! However this recent move doesn't make things much better. When these people are incarcerated, they're put into full-on prisons for adults, which is not the place for a child to be. This policy change is hardly a good solution and still puts the children in jeopardy .

      It is also noted from some of scribblet's links that the Canadian government, under Trudeau, has been doing exactly the same thing, as did previous US administrations. This hypocrisy speaks of the left using the kids as pawns for their own political gain. Why hasn't the media covered that, Bubber?

      The link didn't indicate it was the same thing, but it was media coverage. So your premise is incorrect on two counts.

    Donald Trump probably deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, but almost certainly if anything positive comes out of the US/NK summit. It also depends on how you measure "Peace". If militarily, then we could say the above holds true. If economically, I would call it Economic World War 3.

    Always good to see England lose. As usual...
  21. OftenWrong
    Probably Germany but I don't care, as long as it's a good competition. It would be nice to see a new team come to the foreground. I think Iceland had some chances against Argentina, but they did not finish them. Meanwhile Messi's easy-looking penalty kick was blocked. Goalie Halldorsson was pretty hot.

    There may be economic reasons for wanting to withdraw, which necessitates a resolution to this decades old problem. A good sign would be if the war is officially declared over. For now, what we saw in Singapore was (at best) symbolic. It is however, at least the right kind of symbolism. I'm with Trump if he applies pressure on all fronts, including options for NK that give them positive outcomes... a place for them to escape, without annihilation.
  23. OftenWrong
    Judging by the comments of forum members here, it seems most do not understand this. Trump has "given" nothing either, or whatever he did agree to can just as easily be taken away. Trump seems to have extended an "olive branch" to NK. That does not mean much, or it could mean everything for Kim Jong Un. It certainly is a safer, more sane approach to negotiations than open hostility, making threats and launching test missiles... that is, if it works. Given the track record with NK, this is a gamble but for now the raving madman KJU seems to have stopped his rocket and nuclear tests. The next logical step would be some kind of legal treaty. None of this implies that the US/Trump cannot reverse his position at any time. Military presence is the backbone for these negotiations and it would be irrational to stand down now, or reduce US military capability in the region.

    I had no idea they made bricks, on the Hill. Never seen so many being made as now.

    Yes they should be reinstated, to act as a buffer between normal people and the NDP.
