Aristides

The Liberals decided no such thing but they should close the loophole that is allowing companies to get away with it.

There is no "rule" but we should be doing it for our own security, not because of the US. NATO doesn't want to increase spending to 5% GDP, that's another thing that came out of Trump's ass and if it did, which country's defence industry stands to make a shit load of money because of it? The US doesn't have to be the world's policeman. No one gave them that job, they decided they were the world's policeman. The US won't reduce spending for two reasons. 1. Their military industrial complex is such a large part of their economy, they can't afford to throttle it. 2. As much as as they complain, most Americans want to be the most powerful country in the world and blaming others for it makes them feel better about themselves.

Our only border is with the US. Our responsibility is to keep things out. We do need to clean up our immigration practices but keeping stuff out of the US is their job. We aren't building an effing Iron Curtain or Berlin Wall to keep people in. I asked this question before but didn't get a response. Why doesn't the US reduce their spending to 2% forcing others to increase theirs? After all, we spent over 6% at the peak of the Cold War. I know the answer but no one else wants to address it. Yes it is but that's our problem. I think if we wanted gunships, we got the wrong helicopter.

Almost all of them. Tell us some that are.

Oh, you finally looked her up. Oswald Mosely "Intellectual merit" That's a hoot.

How would you fairly compensate them for giving their businesses to subsidized foreign companies?You even want to give our ability to feed ourselves to the US. Pathetic. Oh, a USTR report, I'm sure that's not one sided.😂

Supply management is to ensure farmers get a price for their product that allows the to stay in business without subsidies. User pay. I don't know about Ziply. Citibank, PNC, JP Morgan and Coamerica operate banks in Canada. I suspect our regulations are more of a deterrent than actually restricting operations. Not cowboy and indian enough for them. I don't care if they find airlines an irritant, their regulations regarding foreign airlines are more restrictive than ours. You can't grant their airlines permission to fly domestic in Canada unless they grant the same privileges to ours, and they won't.

So why doesn't the US reduce their defence spending to two percent. supposedly everyone else would have to step up>

Most of them weren't communists. The problem with this is that people will make shit up to get rid of enemies and competitors. McCarthy used it to promote himself and gain power, not to protect his country. So in that respect, they are very similar. Beware of witch hunts, some day they may be hunting you.

> The US subsidizes its agriculture. That is protectionist. > How many foreign telecom providers operate in the US? > Our Banking Act protects us from US banking lunacy like sub prime mortgages. > Cabotage. Look it up. No foreign carriers are allowed to fly US domestic routes nor do any other countries allow it other than some exceptions in the EU. The US restricts foreign ownership to 25%, Canada allows 49%. > We get no say in what the US taxes.

I actually think this is a good idea because Trump will play one off against the other.

What a wimp.

Think it’s Nevada actually. Probably to do with gambling.

That and our banks were not allowed to engage in the sub prime lunacy that triggered the financial crisis.

Yes the right split between Conservative and Reform handing the Liberals an easy win.

That's what I figured.

Can't speak to residential schools but I got the strap when I was in Grade 6. It hurt a bit but so what, it sure as hell didn't traumatize anyone I knew. It was part of growing up. Now the little shits can get away with just about anything and teachers are helpless. What kind of way is that to bring up a kid, what is that teaching them?

So you do the same and not dump them in Mexico just because that’s where they crossed your border.

Obviously a fan of Leni Reifenstahl.

What is it you don't understand about un documented illegals. If you can ship them back to Mexico even though they aren't Mexican, why can't we ship them to the US if they came from there, even though they aren't American?

Not Americans, illegals running from your authorities. Well over a quarter of a million Americans live in Canada and about 10,000 immigrate to Canada yearly.

Hopefully that will change. Even most Liberals now realize we were headed in the wrong direction. One of the big reasons JT is headed for unemployment.

We do need to be more careful who we let into our country in the first place but protecting US borders is the US’s responsibility.
