  1. There's a very predictable Conservative narrative for Biden regarding Taiwan. He's a Warmonger if he stands up to China, he's in their pocket if he doesn't stand up for Democracy in Taiwan.

      Except when the Lefties stand up to China. Then they're warmongers. 

      If China invades Taiwan, what do we do?

      Hey didnt Mr Trudeau recently put his finger up Taiwan presidents ass? He screwed their president, who is a woman, out of an award for her outstanding work.

      “Canadian officials, upon learning of the decision, made it clear the Canadian government would pull its support if organizers gave the honour to Tsai, Politico reported.”

      I'm from England originally, I grew up on the Python. My parents hated it, but I defied them and watched it anyway. I think I was about 8 or 9 years old when I first started watching them. Moistened bint has to be one of the best monikers ever coined. In my opinion.

      Sure they're not a panacea, but EV owners certainly don't feel the pain of rollercoaster gas prices. 

      Canada is the 4th largest producer of LNG. That's a fossil fuel that will be with us for awhile. We should be winding down oil production for gasoline.

      So where are the fully electric 18 wheelers that can be readily purchased today for a comparable price to their diesel counterparts? And do they have comparable range and recharging time?

      Boges, if you think electricity prices are not going to skyrocket at some point then you are  naive.

      For the record I never laughed at electric cars I just don't think they deserve any kind of taxpayer subsidy and they are not for everybody.

      So people should all go buy one then.

      They would but the price/ performance has issues. Finding chargers probably sucks, and takes a while. Plus you might need an electrician to add a line to your garage.

      Does it bother you that senior WH staff don't know Justins name?  Is that something you laugh at, or does it make you ponder why?  Is it because  they are ll stupid, or just don't care? They were s,art enough to know the names of the British PM and Japans head honcho.  Speaking of Abe, that was the second time that Trump met with him.... And Trump/Abe spend a day together in Washington, then popped down to Trumps house in Florida for a weekend of golf..   How many minutes did he spend with our guy?

      hahaha cheerleader...... the CBC had a truly massive presence following Trudeau around the world and especially in Paris, so they can repeat the same vacant message over and over again. Canada is back, look at me. If CBC was not there, nobody would know since nobody except partisans in Canada give a stuff. It s a message purely aimed at domestic consumption, nobody anywhere else cares or notices. Rah rah sis boom bah!!!

      Different system to U.s. with fixed election dates so no comparison.  The commonwealth countries have 4-5 year cycles, and you can call the election before the final deadline, then postpone it if you still have time before reaching the final deadline. That’s basically what’s happening in NZ. It’s the same idea in Canada.

    4. Boges

      I totally agree. But that's just not healthcare works. 

      The problem we're going to see is that variants will keep popping up the more people treat the virus like they have in the US. 

      Eventually the vaccine will lose its effectiveness. Which is why we get Flu Shots every year.

      Regardless, I thought COVID-19 was done in the US? Doesn't seem so. 

    3. Shady

      Shady

      Hospitalizations won’t be as much of a lagging indicator as before vaccinations.  Florida is almost 50% fully vaccinated.  Regardless, vaccines are widely available.  Anybody that wants one can get one.  It’s not up to other people to shut down their lives to protect people.  And Florida has been open for months, so we’re at least 3 months behind them.  Our numbers will go up in the fall.

      By the fall, Canada will be 80% fully vaccinated, the US seems stuck at 50%.
