    I don't recall having a vote for the past few Canadian wars, or whatever you might call them. But I do recall our PM singing praises for the latest military action in Syria. Blessed are the bombs.

    More or less echoes what I said- A pushover is not leadership. Those other things you mentions are part of the Liberal agenda, and certainly not his innovation by any means. Trudeau, having absolutely no former political experience, or even work experience of any substantial kind is simply a name and a nice hairdo being put on display before Canadians. Me neither. If another leader who was competent did those same things, it would mean very little. But that is the depth of political dialog these days.

    Yes and Liberals are equally divisive. For every political action, an equal and opposite reaction. Or maybe not equal... it seems it escalates. The question of why Doug Ford relates to a larger issue, how easily voters in a democracy can be subverted through the use of media.

    Trudeau represents leadership by use of imagery, without substance. That is what is being attacked here, not nitpicking. So live by the sword, an stuff...

    Really like the way they blended three different guitar parts into one at the end of this song- the Beatles Day Tripper, Rolling Stones Can't Get No Satisfaction, and the April Wine I Like to Rock riff.

    If that were true, you better bet they'd be screaming to impeach until your ears bleed. A quick check of cnn.com shows this not to be the case... all they're talking about is Stormy Dangles, and the much anticipated meeting between Trump and Kim Jong Un.

    Stormy Daniels releases sketch of the man she says threatened her to keep quiet about Trump affair-

      From comedic impersonation to writing books, and now.......even sketchers seem to be cashing in on Trump.    I'd never known sketchers to be signing their sketches - at least, not the ones for BOLO - be on look out.

       

      Anyway.....it does looks like......Tom Brady!

    The article describes that limited military intervention doesnt require congressional approval. I cant read it now but I recall it mentioning a time limit of 60 days. War has not been declared by America.

    Maybe you prefer to hand the decision over to a bunch of bureaucrats and wait for them to make a decision, in the spirit of political cooperation. As if. Meanwhile if I were the bad guys, by the time you people are done talking about it over coffee I'd move my important stuff out of there. As a bad guy, I don't have to abide by any legal proceedings. That's why the President has the legal authority to act without congressional approval. Link

    I guess they should put May and Macron in prison too, and their supporters like Justin Trudeau. Give Putin and Assad a medal.

    CNN - "The attack will deepen the visceral hostility between the US and Russia. That relationship is worse than ever."

      That is because Putin set out to make it worse. At every step along the way he has demonized the West and used it as a bogeyman to cement his corrupt grip on power. Like Hitler, he has to have an enemy to justify all those secret police and spies and the billions going to the military while people live in shacks.

      Yet less than a month ago, CNN posted material indicating Putin was Donald Trump's top adviser on Syria. Trump pulling US troops out, at Putin's bidding. Trump is Putin's man in the White House. Trump congratulating Putin on his election win. Trump meeting with Russian ambassadors, in private. Trump/ Russia collusion now in plain sight.

    That's your view as seen from "within", but I think it's a bit of a mix. Even within the USA, there's a lot of misunderstanding driven by fear mongering media. Like all the blah blah bah about the electoral college. Probably the majority of people don't fully understand what's really going on as we are not privy to the reality behind the headlines. Some may read the first paragraph of a story but important details are kept further down, sometimes purposely it seems. A good example is the guy who was fired by Trump 2 days before his retirement. It was all over the news and even my mother commented on how unfair it was to do that to someone. But this week the details came out on what the guy did that led to his dismissal, leaking information and lying to his superiors. This however is not making much rounds on the news.

    I thought I read a headline on CNN the other day showing Trump's popularity is now the highest ever. Yep- https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/26/politics/cnn-poll-trump-approval-rating-rises/index.html People might be feeling "Trump Derangement Syndrome Fatigue", a condition in which one gets sick and tired of listening to hysterical media hype that never pans out, and stops giving a crap.

    I think Doug actually does know where their funding comes from, but got mixed up on which election he's running in. He'll get to that when he's PM.

    People are surprised and disappointed that they've been duped into exposing themselves through Facebook etc., by answering personality quizzes, playing games, clicking likes. They didn't know that it would be used as a form of manipulation and control. On another level, our persistent belief that internet freedom of communication is a virtue, allowed it to become a sort of weapon used against us, at an international level that now affects foreign affairs.

    The empire had enemies from within and without, but it always did. The political will of that age was shifting away from the Monarchy towards that of a Republic. The sceptre of power was changing hands, as it is doing again today.

    1) Change is inevitable, but its pace needs to be controlled and its extent, blunted. Not all changes are good solutions to a perceived problem. 2) Always? All things? Pollution, global warming, mass extinction, nuclear weapons...

    Since when is there some kind of necessity to tell the truth about one's opponent during an election?

    Options for the vote are rather interesting- Would you buy a Justin Trudeau pinup calendar? Sure, it's just a bit of fun. No, it trivializes the office of the prime minister. No, but only because I'm holding out for the Jagmeet Singh version.
  25. OftenWrong
    Yes it's true, none of the options are very good, and this probably benefits Ford. Hard to say at this point whether a Ford premiership will be good for Ontarians or not, we don't know yet what his political platform will be. Not that it matters much, they do what they want once they get in power. We live in times when a politician's personality matters foremost, not the platform they represent.
