  1. Tune in tonight to find out how we will punch DODO int the face. Don’t screw this up, JT 8:30 p.m: The Prime Minister will make an announcement in response to U.S. tariffs on Canada. He will be joined by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mélanie Joly, the Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs, Dominic LeBlanc, and the Minister of Public Safety, David J. McGuinty. A media availability will follow.
  2. That was only 2 of them The other 12 were convicted
  3. No. He would initiate unprovoked aggression against his neighbours and threaten to annex territory of other sovereign countries. And he would purge the civil service and replace them with partisan loyalists. Check, check and check. And it’s only been 2 weeks.
  4. Don’t worry Dictator On Day One is just busy engaging in hostilities against his neighbours and threatening to annex them for no reason other than his personal glory. You see he has to destroy the US economy first and destroy any alternative centres of power before he can enact his draconian laws. Of course I am joking, DODO doesn’t think or plan ahead, he is100% reactionary but he is busy destroying the economy with his ridiculous tariffs and after the economic destruction will come the chaos and the authoritarian crackdown
  5. His insane tariff war that no Americans want and even his own staff don’t understand why he’s doing it. Nobody wants him to keep this ridiculous promise.
  6. LMAO. as Dictator On Day Oneis busy tanking the economy with his INSANE trade wars that have no point or purpose. Even his own people Sit back and enjoy the chaos. By the way remember when Republicans used to scream that Executive Orders were an undemocratic and an abuse of presidential power? It’s one of the things you Republicans hypocrites only shriek when there’s a democrat president. We could start an entire thread about all the hypocritical flip flops you people will make now.
  7. Now the unstable mor0n is going slap tariffs on EU…because….they don’t buy enough US oil? Or something? Trump vows to launch trade war on EU https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-trade-war-eu-tariffs-mexico-canada/ The guy’s barely been in office a week and already he’s running the economy straight into the ground. Even Liz Truss is blushing
  8. All true. Luckily Russia can’t even defeat Ukraine and the longer it stays bogged down in that war the weaker it gets
  9. To be fair Heinz Ketchup that’s sold in Canada is made in Canada by Canadian workers using Canadian ingredients as they keep trying to tell everyone.
  10. He wants to glorify himself by humbling other countries, thinking we will all come to him on our knees with offerings and concessions that he can show off as a testament to his greatness. He believes that being powerful means you must dominate and subjugate others. Simply being able to do so is not enough, you have to actually do it. Second Trump clearly doesn’t know or understand anything about economics and how trade works and neither do most of the unqualified sycophants he surrounds himself with so he probably does think that tariffs will somehow make America more prosperous
  11. OTOH Europe would not need 100 nuclear submarines and doesn’t need to be a global power they are just defending the continent from eastern attack and possibly attack over the pole. Europe is not overly concerned about challenging China or North Korea or Venezuela or Cuba, and their interest in Middle Eastern adventurism is also limited. Even Iran only concerns them indirectly due to its alliance with Russia and the political fallout from any instability vis-vis Israel. Meanwhile Russia can’t even defeat Ukraine
  12. They don’t care about facts. it was never about Fentanyl or the border that’s just a flimsy smokescreen
  13. From now on any disaster or unpleasant event is automatically the fault of unqualified DEI unless someone can prove there’s nothing but straight white males in a 100 mile radius of what happened…In which case hey shit happens nobody’s perfect don’t be so hard on the guy.
  14. So a guy who has never worked as an air traffic controller is suddenly an expert on the air traffic system, how this crash happened and why. Also in reality he has no idea why he didn’t get the job. Maybe he gave a terrible interview or maybe he didn’t score as well as he’s claiming DEI is just an excuse for every failure and washout now. No wonder it’s such a popular target among the poorly educated and people at the bottom. Guess is the key word. But to be clear there is no diversity program for disabled air traffic controller applicants. That program is for general staff from office managers to janitors
  15. Fake news fools the usual gullible cultists again. 1) Biden did not lower any FAA safety standards for any woke DEI policies 2) Trump didn’t rectify any of rhe no -existent safety standards 3) logically an aircraft accident could only DISPROVE # 2 not prove it 4) So far the FAA has not be blamed the Army helicopter flown by two white men was not where it was supposed to be. 5) For anyone who follows aviation topics , the US air traffic control system is notoriously underfunded with outdated analog technology because congress never approves appropriations from the national aviation trust fund which are intended for that purpose. I majored in Aeronautical Science at a US university and literally DAY ONE of my freshman year that was a topic of discussion in class…back in 1997 and it wasn’t even a new topic then.
  16. We’re not turning off the taps just charging more and even if they go to the middle east they’ll still pay more than they’re paying now Alberta doesn’t fund the country that’s a myth. Alberta produces only 15% of national GDP and the percentage of federal revenue generated in Alberta is similar. Alberta has a small population so their economic contribution is disproportionate but Albertans have mythologized this into believing they alone pay for everything. I guess when they can drop out of high school and make $100k a year driving a forklift math isn’t going to be their strong suit.
  17. Canada’s oil industry is foreign owned and foreign controlled, mostly by Americans. They want cheap Canadian crude oil going to American refineries in polluted tax haven shit holes at the opposite end of the continent like like they have along Louisiana and Texas gulf coast and then selling it back to us at a premium. That’s what they want and they own the Alberta government so it’s what the Alberta government wants. This whole “America has enough oil” argument is also stupid. They’re not importing massive amounts of Canadian oil just to have a fun surplus that nobody uses. Plus Anyone who understands market basics understands that when you reduce supply, prices increase so even if somehow Canadian oil was just surplus, eliminating it will still jack up prices
  18. USA engages in widespread protectionism also. It has its own Supply Management system whereby the federal government purchases surplus dairy and agricultural products for little purpose other than to create artificial demand. It also gas and entire catalogue of routine agricultural subsidies and there are also many price guarantees whereby farmers receive cheques from the federal government if prices fall below a certain threshold Online News Act and digital services tax is not protectionism and has nothing to do with the US Plus look at the Americans draconian practices like the absurd copyright protections in legislation like DMCA where citizens can’t even legally fix or modify goods they’ve bought and paid for US banks are not banned in Canada. Many operate here in commercial and investment banking and commercial financing. They simply CHOOSE not to provide retail banking in our well organized and well regulated retail banking and the sheer size of the Big 5 Canadian Banks makes it difficult for startups to compete in retail. Seeing as US banks are a corrupt shitshow that brought down the entire global financial system not so long ago I don’t miss them one bit. But conversely the US retail banking system is still characterized by small local or regional banks so it is easy for the big Canadians to expand south than for US banks to come north. The Interac point of sale purchase system is almost 40 years old in Canada but in the US it’s still difficult to pay by debit except at major chains and only for those who have a chequing account that uses a credit card network like Visa And because of this in the US there are no mobile card terminals like the kind the waiter brings to your table at a restaurant If you want to pay for a meal in the US with a credit card, the waiter disappears with your card and then returns some time later with a paper slip for you to sign like it’s the 1980s and you just have to trust that they didn’t copy down details for nefarious purposes. For some reason this primitive banking system also means restaurants can’t properly split a bill. I guess it just causes the whole point of sale system to be primitive. Next time you are out to dinner in the US with a group of people, ask for separate bills, 9 times out of ten they will screw it up I guarantee it As for allegedly being soft on crime and terrorism the results speak for themselves we don’t have a problem with either compared to the US And even id we were it’s none of DOD’s business anyways. Neither is our immigration policy his concern. Certainly none of it would have anything to do with a trade war. And regarding the border the real problem is the flow into Canada from the US not the other way around. We’ve be dealing with American drugs guns and criminals flowing north since time immemorial with US refusing to do anything about it and Republicans even stopping US law enforcement from doing anything about the gun problem. The last time DODO was president we were flooded with illegals from the US and he did nothing on his side to stop it. And with DODO back in office we will be flooded again soon. The southward flow of illegals and contraband is statistically insignificant, like spitting into the ocean His excuses for the trade war and annexation talk keep shifting because there’s no real reason for any of it other than DODO’s ego Canada is not and has never been a proxy for the Chinese. The real proxies have always been the corporations getting rich from doing business in China. Elon Musk continues to profit greatly from making his cars in China and using Chinese parts throughout his empire. Now he is in the White House whispering in DODO’s ear.
  19. It needs to be shock and awe. We can reserve a small amount of firepower so we can threaten an escalation if DODO doesn’t come to his senses but the opening salvo needs to shock Americans. Especially since we will need to penetrate the distraction and noise of the Super Bowl and the usual US media circus. Unfortunately Canadians are absolutely terrible when it comes to taking bold and decisive action, we prefer dithering, endless dialogue and incrementalism. If we can’t rise to the moment now we never will for anything.
  20. They are not going to spend billios of dollars on a multi-yesr relocation program just to appease the whims of one mentally unstable one-term president Dictator On Day One is musing about annexing his neighbours, expanding his territory and renaming international bodies of water features after his kingdom because he thinks doing so glorifies him personally. DODO isn’t following some master plan or sending clever messages. He’s just an unstable egotistical id1ot who doesn’t understand how economies work or the consequences of his own actions and neither do the know-nothing goons he’s appointed to run the country . And so long as Canadians can show a spine and not demure in typical Canadian fashion he’s about to learn the hard way.
  21. Doesn’t matter what % of GDP it is. Many states and industries will be hit hard and millions of people will be hit hard at the pump. Many of those people are in swing states. They will make the phones ring of the hook in Washington
  22. Time to hit the states with both barrels. If Trump carves out oil we slap a punishing export tariff on it. LCBO is one the largest purchasers of booze in the entire world, get the province ls to band together and take all US booze off the shelf in every province. Make the Americans squeal Funny how Republicans were screaming about inflation under Biden and now that inflation camr back to normal levels under Biden, Republican/ want to do the most inflationary thing imaginable and suddenly inflation isn’t important to them. Nothing matters except indulging the ignorant whims of Dictator On Day One
  23. Yeah but wed have to do a major purge of all the undesirable Americans, im talking like. Trump’s planned roundup off immigrants with military and internment camps. Not just to get rid of the Republicans either, USA is full of all kinds of lousy people.
  24. You didn’t get dehydrated under Biden and you screamed and wailed like a little b1tch nonstop. Especially when you couldn’t steal the 2020 election.
