  1. And then we deport them.
  2. That is up to the US. You want to be top dog in the world, it's going to be expensive.
  3. Pretty impressive. He is very quick. I wondered what he would be like in the cut and thrust of a political debate. Looks like he would do just fine.
  4. The world is going to shit.
  5. Their vaunted constitution and checks and balances were all an illusion because they have stopped believing in them.
  6. Barely covers Tesla’s investment in China. Apple has invested 275 billion in China since 2016.
  7. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jan/25/move-closer-to-europe-not-trump-voters-tell-starmer-in-major-uk-poll
  8. Yes, Roosevelt let out a huge sigh of relief and Churchill did a dance when Hitler declared war on the US first.
  9. Some but most belong to TC Energy, Enbridge and Transmountain.
  10. Britain was unique in control over immigration as a condition of joining but the dumb twits voted to leave anyway.
  11. Bussels is just the seat of the EU parliament. Brussels doesn't control anything. Interesting idea. Now that we know the US is not an ally, better the EU than BRICS.
  12. Time to start putting Canadian flags on our backpacks and luggage again and wear tee shirts that say, I am not an American. I'm in Mexico now and the Trump is despised here. The first thing the cab driver from the airport said after he asked where we were from was, "what do you think of Trump".
  13. No one is forcing the US to spend 3.8% on defence. If you want to be top dog, it will cost money.
  14. Carney certainly has a more Canadian history than Ignatieff. Even when he was with Goldman Sachs he spent time in their offices in Europe, Asia and Toronto.
  15. His base is definitely a cult but that doesn't explain why so many others voted for him.
  16. Danish official at Davos has message for Trump
  17. How does the US hold a referendum in a foreign country? Do you thing the US should hold referendums in Quebec? It bought Alaska because Russia decided to sell it to them. Denmark has told Trump to take a hike.
  18. 4 million barrels of oil a day go to the US from Canada. Through pipelines.
  19. One of my kids is a farmer and all her kids grew up working on it. They know what hard work is. Their father paid them like farm hands and they were expected to work like farm hands and they did. That work ethic transferred to their later lives. The oldest paid his own way through university with what he saved and is now a civil engineer, The second is now taking her masters, the third is in nursing school and the last just graduated from high school. But you are right, too many of today's generations want to keep their hands clean.
