I don't want to be rude but honestly we're almost 3 years into constant 24 hr/day BS and outright lies about Trump by the MSM and I can't stand it when people just regurgitate that crap. He's a braggart, he's vulgar, he's virtually the poster boy for "unpresidential" sometimes.... that's a whole story right there. But all the BS about "walls are racist", "he called all immigrants animals" etc, watching CNN is like drinking stupidity from a firehose. I can't stand it. Ditto for the MSM up here but from the other angle: "Trudeau did nothing wrong" and "fake news about SNC non social media sites needs to be moderated by the government". It's shite.

That's a pathetic and hollow attempt at semantics Bubber. So cheap for NBC and Wray to stoop that low. "It's not spying when we do it to mobsters so it's not spying when we do it to the President". At the behest of the opposition party no less. If Netanyahu or Harper set their national police force to work to "not spy, but do surveillance" on the opposition parties you'd sing a different tune. It's called being a hypocrite, which is basically just a fancy word for liar. When NBC says "Wray said he did not" that is an actual lie, AKA FAKE NEWS, because he didn't say for certain that he did not. He said "I don't think that I personally have any evidence of that sort". Just let that sink in...... The guy who's going to bat for NBC, the Demmies, Hillary et al isn't going to say for certain that he doesn't personally have evidence that illegal surveillance was done. In other words, he might actually have evidence that illegal surveillance was done. And my direct quote is far more accurate than NBC's direct quote. Me, a random internet poster, with a greater understanding of the English language than a billion dollar a year American television station. Did you even read that shit, or think about what it meant, before you posted the link here? The goddamn title is even wrong: He said he wouldn't call it spying, then he said that he doesn't think he personally has evidence of a crime against the Trump campaign. LMFAO!!!!!! Shake your head dude. Read all that shit again. It's not exactly evidence for "your side".

I'm not one of those people who moans about "Obama's economy had the slowest recovery since WWII" or whatever it is that they say. The economy was in a tailspin when Obama was elected and it got squarely back on track while he was there. He deserves kudos imo. I think you'd have to be a sore loser not to concede the fact, that the Dems constantly try to make, that the economic numbers were all trending upwards when Obama was Prez. I guess Bush could also say that the stimulus package that Obama got voted in was one that the Republicans were trying to get put through as well. Republicans say Obama doubled the debt, but the stimulus pkg that he had to implement at the start was probably a big part of that. Back and forth, blah blah blah. But back to the topic at hand... we all know that trends hit a natural peak and then plateau and trend downwards again for a bit, then go up... but what happened when Trump became President wasn't just the continuation of Obama's economy at all. https://www.macrotrends.net/1358/dow-jones-industrial-average-last-10-years Look at the DJ Avg for Oct 2013 to Nov 6th 2016: Nov 22 2013 the DJ hit 16K for the first time. It was at 17,888 at closing on Friday Nov 4th, right before the election. It went up 1,888 points inBarack's last 3 years. By Dec 26th the DJ avg was already up 1,888 points from when Trump took over, just 50 days later. By Jan 2018 it was up 10,000 points from where it was on Nov 22 2013. That's insane. 10,000 points is 63% of the 16,000 it was at in Nov 2013. The plain fact is that the US economy responded to Trump like a dog responds to the word treat, walk, park or ball. People trying to give Obama credit for that are talking out of their asses.

"$50 billion in new federal contracts to companies that continue to shutter U.S. factories as they seek cheaper labor abroad" is a lot. But does your source say how many $B the gov't has awarded to companies in general? Twice that? Probably 50x that amount? Unemployment in the US is so low that those 133,000 people all found work within 5 minutes of being laid off. LOL at the idea that working class voters haven't benefitted greatly from the Trump administration. More jobs, higher average wage, lower taxes.... Are you kidding me?

Oooh, ooh, can I be part of the "et al"? They're not taking over, they're trying to overstep. Every single person born or living in Canada gets the same protections under the Charter of Rights, period. Canadian law is the law of the land and there is no higer power. Sharia law, even just for civil matters, is not compatible with the standards that have been democratically implemented over centuries in this country and across the commonwealth. People who want to live under Sharia law can go live in countries where sharia law prevails or they can tough it out. Why would they choose to live in a country that's not compatible with their way of life when there are several countries that are? Is it because of our climate? Nope. Our wealth? Nope - Saudi Arabia is wealthy. It's most likely our freedom. But freedom and sharia are not compatible.

Are you kidding Jacques? I know that insulting Trump is cool but stick to the truth and keep things in proportion. If crotch-grabbing was one of Trudeau's main flaws (and he has been credibly accused of grabbing) we'd be laughing. It turns out that giving away huge gobs of money and loving terrorists are two of Trudeau's main faults. How do you call Trump a traitor? Is he paying off terrorists and pandering to them like Trudeau is? Is he giving American money away for no apparent reason? Allowing terrorists to come back to the US to walk free? Decimating the US gas and oil industry on multiple fronts while allowing foreign oil into the country with no problems whatsoever? Does Trump constantly denigrate everyday Americans? Is Trump thwarting the democratic process in the US like Trudeau is doing in Canada (if you recall Trump's administration just spent two years jumping through hoops re: the collusion hoax, Trudeau just leaned on his AG and then fired her to get his own way)? Your opinions are coming out on the wrong side of history J.

I think it's hilarious/pathetic that Hillary is still out there complaining and that the MSM in the States still gives her credibility. Scary how much power she would have if she was elected. She has MSNBC, CNN and a bunch of other networks eating from her hand.

Wrong. Trump said that the whitehouse was being wiretapped two years ago and the media, Obama, etc all tried to make him a laughing stock, but Trump was right. The investigation re: collusion had nothing to do with the charges brought against Manafort, etc. Manafort's in jail for tax filings from over 20 years ago. No one is in jail for anything to do with Russian collusion. No one. But people with completely unrelated charges against them were offered lesser sentences for testimony against Trump. How kosher is that? LMAO Sad fact is that you could win a Pulitzer for that in this sad day and age. Do you know that the dossier was only corroborated by it's author's own rumours? Is self corroboration even a thing? Is corroboration by way of the rumour mill a thing? What a farce.

Is this whole "slow death" thing done now? What are Trump's polling numbers vs the gaggle of misfits running against him? They're so pathetic that it almost looks like a setup TBH. It's like any actual heavyweight boxer in a title fight against Richard Simmons.

Hello Otis.

Yes, but the Japanese should have been worried about that and they weren't. They have 2-3 earthquakes per week in Tokyo that are strong enough to felt by humans and they're an island nation. They shoulda seen it comin' and that's a pretty respectable country. In Canada we need to be concerned about terrorist attacks now. We've had two big ones in Toronto in the past year or so and as a nation we're not doing all that much about terrorism. Do you think that we will never have another attack? Do you think that we will have enough safety precautions in place to keep terrorists from getting jobs at a nuke plant, or from attacking them somehow? Would you trust our current government with the task of making sure our nuclear reactors are a tough target for terrorists? The Japanese have to say "we shoulda been more prepared for quakes". Will Canada one day have to say "Oh that guy just had a few online accounts where he supported terrorism but he didn't actually say he was going to do anything himself, so what could we do?" As a species we do stupid things like support dictators, engage in genocide, elect socialist governments or idiots like Trudeau, smoke cigarettes, drive drunk, text and drive, blow up kids at an Ariana Grande concert, find religion, etc. Good luck with that.

That's why I don't like the fact that one hereditary chief can block an entire pipeline. How hard is it for the Russians, Saudis, or Americans to pay off 1 guy?

America has trade deficits with most of the countries they deal with. It's popular to diss Trump and call him a bully but his job is to promote the US economy and protect their workers. Trudeau pretends to care about the workers at SNC, but now there's talk about SNC employees making a lot of illegal donations to the Liberal party. So maybe he was just covering his own ass? He certainly doesn't give a crap about 200,000 jobs in Alberta.

Traffic accidents have nothing to do with this conversation Argus, and the burden of proof re: deaths from traffic pollution is on you. It's not something that you can just s'pose on and I have to disprove. It also happened in Japan. The problem with these things is that once they're up and running we become entirely dependent on them, and as is the case in Japan, they knew it needed to go offline for a serious overhaul and they just didn't.

Trump is pro-America and the world knows that. Trudeau is proud to boast that he's a post-nationalist. The world knows that he's a spineless dolt and Canada is a doormat right now.

Not even a comparison. It's basically zero, and radiation sickness is a horrible death. Lol.

There are hundreds, maybe thousands of people around Chernobyl who are dying of multiple cancers, and I'm a pipeline person.

One person died from Fukijima, but several more are in the slow, painful process of dying from the radiation they received in the initial cleanup process. The damage to marine life and the problems associated with eating fish from that part of the ocean isn’t being talked about because there are no anti-nuclear lobbyists paying kids to protest about it.

When I was growing up nuclear power was frowned on. The damage from places like Fukijima and Chernobyl make an oil slick look like spilled milk.

I predict the start of a new loonie-centric game called head or tail.

LOL. Not possible. Their alt-left insanity is up though, thanks to AOC/BS bad idea factory getting into full gear. So appropriate that Bernie Sanders' initials are BS.

Global warming dolts cite cow farts as a factor. There were ten times as many bison as there currently are cows. They cite increased numbers of cat 5 hurricanes over the Atlantic but they were never tracked until recently. However, large hurricanes that make landfall is a stat that has been tracked, and it’s not up. Our cars aren’t a big factor in co2 levels by comparison with everything else on the planet. Plus, more co2 in the environment just makes for more robust plant growth, which decreases co2. Global warming skeptics have made hundreds of predictions since the ‘80’s with a zero percent success rate. Why should I start believing them now? Is the polar ice all gone? Nope. Doing better than normal. Oh snap. Why should we be the only ones doing anything about it? We shouldn’t.

That’s the closest to the truth imo but still not accurate. Here’s my summary: Humans are humans and have their own tendencies but Islam is an extremely negative behaviour modifier which empowers slavers, misogynists, and other undesirables. It always has been. That’s why the actions of a devout Buddhist and a devout Muslim are nothing alike. Thats it in a nutshell. If you don't know the reasons that’s your own problem. I’m not going to post links for you or spell it all out for you. Read up, and think. Don’t just regurgitate kindergarten talking points or Dem/Lib platitudes.

Already did. There’s not much to it.

At least I know that atmospheric conditions is at the core of both phenomena. Your bs about man-made CO2 changing the game is over. Only muppets follow that now.
