Aristides

I'm not being critical of aid being cut off, although that is a shame. I'm being critical of the wilful destruction of material that could be used by others to improve the lives of people in the third world.

You go out of your way to make it more difficult for NGO's who are trying to slow population growth in 3rd world countries while you whine about illegal immigrants, most of whom are economic refugees from third world countries. I would be really pissed off if my government did something like this. You really are a stupid, mean spirited bunch. You had a chance to prove me wrong by being critical of what is an obviously bad decision but instead you validate what I said with your usual deflections.

Instead of donating or selling at a reduced rate to someone else who will distribute them, you are going to spend even more money to destroy them so they can't be used by anyone. MAGA logic at its finest. You are responsible for what you do. No one else.

Interesting how you always blame others for your actions.

It is important to the people who rely on it. Where do you think NGO's get their money? Why not ask instead of just destroying stuff? MAGA's can't seem to make the connection between availability of birth control and number of abortions which they are so dead set against.

My mistake. 2 million. Doesn't matter what the offer was, it was more than nothing. The NGO would also have to foot the bill for transport and distribution. They aren't a government than can just print money. Did the US ever ask any other country if they wanted to take it over? Maybe read the article.

Why doesn't the US donate them or sell at a reduced rate rather than just destroy them? If they got a quarter of what they cost, it would still save US taxpayers over 200 million. I guess that doesn't mean anything to you. Your government is choosing to destroy them in spite of being offered something for them by an NGO. Why? Spite?

Did you bother to read the article? The supplies are already in Belgium. MSI tried to buy them but the US government wanted full price which they can't afford. Rather than sell them at a reduced price so they can be used, your government elected to destroy them.

Unless we are misrepresenting Chinese steel as Canadian and trying to sell it to you, Go F*ck Yourself.

Are we selling Chinese sourced steel to the US or Canadian made steel?

Making a man like Trump your champion certainly doesn’t speak well of people who claim to be Christian. If that’s what it takes, I’d rather not.

A guy was jailed for encouraging rioters to attack a building. King Trump wants to revoke American's citizenship for just saying they don't like him.

There are no tariffs under the quota's negotiated in CUSMA which Trump negotiated and signed in his first term . Those quotas have never been reached so no tariffs have been paid. Canada imports almost twice as much dairy from the US as it exports to the US. Canada's system is user pay, the US subsidizes its farmers which keeps their prices low. If you did even the slightest much research outside of your usual social media garbage, you would know all of that instead of babbling on about communism. The US has actually encouraged their farmers to over produce and then whine because we don't let them dump it in Canada and drive our farmers out of business.

Rates are still high because of inflation and Trump's policies are inflationary. He has no one but himself to blame.

Trump just tried to blame Biden for Powell's nomination when it was he that nominated him in 2017, Biden just kept him on. Before the election Trump loved high interest rates because he could blame them on Biden, now the shoe is on the other foot and Powell is an enemy of the state. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-blames-biden-for-appointing-terrible-jerome-powell-trump-appointed-powell-in-2017/ar-AA1IJFjy https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/firing-jerome-powell-won-t-get-trump-what-he-wants/ar-AA1INDU1

We had milkmen here when I was a kid. I can remember the frozen cream popsicle that would be sticking out of the tops of un homogenized milk sitting on the doorstep in the morning.

Too late. Trump & Co peddled the Epstein list from the beginning of the election, claiming there was a Biden coverup. They won’t believe him or Bondi now, they will just claim it is another coverup. Live by the conspiracy, die by the conspiracy.

1. I made it clear why US banks do not do retail banking in Canada. There are no rules that exclude US banks from operating under the same regulations as Canadian banks. They choose commercial banking because the regulations are less strict than for personal banking. Plus, the cost of setting up a complete network of branches just isn't worth it to them. 2. You are the clueless one. Cabotage forbids foreign carriers from selling tickets on domestic routes. Except for EU members within the EU, no country allows it. 3. Last I heard, Quebec was part of Canada. Quebec is not the only province with its own telecom companies. 4. You really have a weird dairy fetish.

Plastic bags is an Eastern thing, we have jugs and cartons out west. Be prepared to subsidize farmers with your tax dollars like the US.
