  1. Now Mango Mussolini is threatening to revoke the citizenship of native born Americans because of personal dislike. Anyone else noticed he is now using the Royal "We" instead of "I" when referring to himself. He really does think he is King. https://globalnews.ca/news/11286284/trump-threatens-rosie-odonnells-u-s-citizenship/
  2. You realize that Stellantis is a publicly owned company, largely European. Chrysler is only one division. Americans are relatively minor shareholders. The idea of switching to RH drive is just dumb.
  3. It’s not activists dumbass, it’s scientists. But you are too stupid to know the difference. It isn’t even debatable anymore for anyone with more than a dozen brain cells, or doesn’t have their head stuck in conspiracy echo chambers.
  4. Only the EU allows member airlines to fly domestic routes in other members countries. No one else allows it, including the US. One reason BC gets so many cruise ships is foreign flag shipping companies are not allowed to carry passengers between US ports without stopping in another country.
  5. Yes they are. Deserts are getting hotter and growing. Droughts are becoming longer and more severe. Oceans are warming causing stronger tropical storms, sea level rise and warm water species invading more northern waters threatening existing wildlife. Just a few effects of climate change.
  6. Countries that try to isolate their economies don't fare well. Soviet Union, Albania etc. The US wants to be top dog militarily regardless of what its allies do. You will not decrease your spending because other NATO countries are increasing theirs.
  7. This requires years and billions of investment to produce something that will be uncompetitive in world markets, on the whim of someone who changes his mind on a weekly basis. They are incentivized to wait him out. Enjoy paying more for everything that includes copper, which is just about everything.
  8. Trump's idea of protection is the same as a mafia don's. Pay for our protection or we'll burn your house down. Your protection and $4 will get me a coffee.
  9. If his peers disagreed with it, they would say so. That is the point of peer reviews.
  10. MAGATS still don’t know the difference between weather and climate.
  11. Well, if Carney’s chief of staff is overseeing it, the buck stops there and they won’t be able to deflect if something shady comes up.
  12. The golden mane probably l hasn’t been golden for 30 years, but only his hairdresser knows for sure
  13. Other than that Trump doesn’t smoke or drink, he leads a very unhealthy lifestyle. He is over weight, doesn’t get any real exercise and eats too much junk food. Add the pressures of the presidency and the odds are even worse. He has visibly aged since he took office in January.
  14. Sorry but Alberta doesn't share a border with Alaska. You need to bone up on your Canadian geography. You live in Montreal so you know damn well that Montreal doesn't vote the same way as much of Quebec. So can Quebec which is the big stumbling block to Alberta's access to the Atlantic. BC has a pipeline to the coast, you have SFA. So stop lecturing to BC.
  15. Airport fees in no small part because of rents paid to the feds. Nav Canada fees airport security fees etc, all of which are paid for by the feds in the US. Fuel, aircraft, and a bunch of other stuff paid for in USD with revenues to pay for them in CAD, the same problem our pro sports teams have.
  16. Of course, they have nine times the population. We have a much larger area to cover with far fewer customers to pay for it.
  17. Four US banks have commercial operations in Canada. They don't do personal banking because they don't like our regulations but then again, Canadian banks never go bust like US banks. The US does not allow foreign airlines to fly domestic routes. Other than the EU, no country allows it. We import almost twice as much dairy as we export to the US. The quotas apply to both countries. We do not subsidize farmers or pay them to over produce like the US. How many foreign telecoms are operating in the US? https://www.fcc.gov/general/foreign-ownership-rules-and-policies https://www.paulhastings.com/insights/client-alerts/fcc-proposes-major-expansion-of-oversight-of-foreign-ownership-of-u-s
  18. Christianity but not every other religion
  19. Your dollar is down against every major currency in spite of higher interest rates. You are having to pay more to service your debt because of it. That is not a sign of confidence in the USD. You have become a tiresome troll who has nothing left to offer.
  20. You are only the world currency reserve as long as the rest of the world wants you to be. Your interest rates are 2% higher than ours yet your dollar has lost 10% against the CAD.
  21. Your birth rate is also below replacement level. Your social security system is nearing insolvency. Our CPP is a real pension plan where employee contributions are invested like other pension plans and doing rather well like most independent plans these day. Your federal debt to GDP is 120%, ours is 69%. and Trump wants to add another 3 trillion. Only an id*ot would want to join the shit show you have going on. Fortunately they are a small minority of Canadians.
