you are the one who keeps chasing me around, I simply respond to your posts in good faith

not at all, I don't seek the approval of Canadians, quite the opposite I take pride in and thoroughly enjoy being an Anglo American rabble rouser in the midst of anally retentive Canadians

as an American citizen, I am not bound to obey the President, only the Constitution as I see fit as a Canadian citizen, I would only obey a direct order from HM King Charles III himself

Trudeau is at 22% Biden was at 33% Trump is at 49% take it in the ass, Liberals

Jamie Sarkonak: The foreign interference verdict is in — all Canadians are to blame For months, various juicy allegations of wrongdoing have oozed out of the intelligence space. One by one, Hogue’s report snuffed them out But if you’re wondering what level of complicity Canadian officials have in this, Hogue leaves that out. “The intelligence does not necessarily indicate that the elected officials or candidates involved were aware of the interference attempts, nor were the attempts necessarily successful.” Oh, well. Some inquiry that was. And that’s how the foreign interference inquiry went. No blame was really assigned anywhere. Yes, there appears to be some meddling, and yes, Chinese international students appear to have been bussed in to sway a Liberal nomination race, but no one seems to be responsible for noticing any of it. Except, of course, a nebulous intelligence bureaucracy that seems to suffer constant communication breakdowns with the cabinet in charge of governing. Though no one is at fault there either, you see. These problems are systemic. Hogue, in the end, made 51 recommendations for change. You can imagine the themes they covered: information-sharing within government should be improved, public communication should be improved, various intelligence bodies should be beefed up, law enforcement should investigate more, fines should be increased, etc. Within these were buried a few recommendations of great concern: Recommendation 11 proposed a “government entity to monitor the domestic open-source online information environment for misinformation and disinformation that could impact Canadian democratic processes,” possibly with “authority to interact with social media platforms.” That is, proactive monitoring of the internet. Recommendation 32 suggested a public funding system for political parties, as the current donation system, brought in by the Harper government I note, makes (unpopular, desperate) parties vulnerable to foreign sway. Her other ideas: mandatory citations in political ads, mandatory labels for “altered content” in the news and even a prohibition on undermining the legitimacy of election results. The last is particularly mind-boggling, seeing how her inquiry has failed to assign blame. Without accountability for interference, how can anyone be barred from criticizing the system’s integrity? Overall, the report amounts to another Laurentian elite lecturing the rest of Canada about how a major system failure in government — caused by people who supervise and serve it — amounts to another precious Learning Moment For All of Us Canadians. Just like the blackface incident, just like the Kokanee groping allegation. Instead of, you know, an occasion for a few major high-profile firings, fines and perhaps criminal investigations. As always, Canadian everyman, you didn’t do anything wrong. But, because of a few foreign interferers and a slew of government policies have weakened the dominance of English and French (and, in turn, electoral integrity), this judge figures you’d better submit to mass online surveillance while paying more taxes to support government misinformation-correcting initiatives. Individual accountability is next to impossible in this country, so that, I suppose, is the next best thing. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-sarkonak-the-foreign-interference-verdict-is-in-all-canadians-are-to-blame

President Trump now saying that he may not target oil with the tariffs Trump targets Eastern Canada & British Columbia, let's Alberta slide oh this could be f*cking awesome unity crisis on steroids, stand by for the Laurentian Elites to completely lose their shit chaos is a ladder

which would still be ahead of Biden

what's Justin Trudeau's approval rating ? 22% Trump at 49% FTW

now let's get back to what the FBI should be doing targeting the Communists in our midst ; COINTELPRO 2.0

what savages ? our only adversaries at this juncture are a bunch of college educated twerps LARPIng as "revolutionaries" Kyle Rittenhouse wiped them out, single handed God bless him

soft as warm baby shit Canadians retreating to their safe spaces with the Democrats where they can all commiserate in their impotence in the face of the MAGA revolution good riddance

as Jordan Peterson has rightly said being the soft as warm baby shit people who never threaten anyone, is not a virtue I'd rather die on my feet as an American war fighter than live on my knees as a Canadian simp

happy not to be associated with the international butt of jokes I honestly only ever travel on my American passport now I'd be embarrassed to present my Canadian passport at customs and contrary to the myth, Canadians are not treated better than Americans I've travelled under both passports, and the American passport is far more respected everybody knows, Canadians are pliant, and Canada does not defend its own citizens while Americans are not to be trifled with

your reputation ? as the Wokest place on earth, international laughing stock Free Rider leftist lunatic hermit kingdom ? Donald Trump is frankly saving you from yourselves

I was born in Canada, raised in Canada, I hold a Canadian passport but I don't identify with Canadians anymore I just can't get with the Canadian conformist Overton window I concede that I have become an American at heart and thanks to my father being an American, I am also an American citizen, holding an American passport best of both worlds

you were in fact right, sir you said that the Americans would force Canada to spend more on the military by threatening trade and it is playing out exactly as you predicted already the 2% deadline is in flux, moving from 2032 to 2027, then all of a sudden they are talking about meeting it within two years Donald Trump is apparently the greatest advocate for HM Canadian Army in the world

I find it amusing how Army Guy and myself are most hated by the likes of you tho we are the only Canadian infantryman here it's par for the course tho since in fact, Canadian civilians don't really know their own soldiers

Canadians who never served are often the biggest talkers about defending Canada there's only one other Canadian infantryman on this forum, and I notice that you also have contempt for him go figure

I already defended Canada for 16 years in HM Royal Canadian Infantry Corps, decorated for my service my ancestor came to Canada in 1757 ; this home was taken as a war prize by my family in the Seven Years War

inside the Anti-Trump bubble, it is just a non stop shrieking hysterical cacophony of self reinforcing delusion if any of this was actually effective, Trump would not be President the raging Anti-Trumpers doubling down on a failed strategy is entirely to the good

an internet forum is not a place to socialize certainly I am aware that my view of things is not going to be popular on this particular forum Canada is an extremely collectivist society wherein if you don't conform, you are going to be a pariah but the American in me honestly embraces that there is going to be a parade of angry Canadians declaiming me eight ways from Sunday goes with the territory, that's fine by me

well, as President Trump rightly said, Air Traffic Controller needs to be the elite of the elite this has to be the Tier One of the civilian side of government; no fail mission

indeed, Woke DEI hiring has always been on trajectory to the breakdown of systems totally reliant on merit

again, I'm perfectly content not to be affiliated with the likes of you how am I a fraud ? I am not in any way trying to deceive you as to my contempt for your view of things

oh indeed, I don't even identify as a "Canadian" anymore I concede without reservation that I am a stranger in my own land Post National State with no core identity FTW thanks, Justin Trudeau
