  1. I don't know if I'd call it much of a push. I mean he's right but there's nothing in there that's going to pressure or push trump to do anything different other than basic common sense. Which, I mean we can try that I suppose....
  2. I think I've told you that too much NyQuil is bad for you. Honestly it says more about you than him
  3. After 10 years of Trudeau this is what justice looks like in Canada. High-risk offender released to Vancouver halfway house: police | CTV News Vancouver police are warning the public that a man convicted in the random stabbing of a stranger at a downtown Tim Hortons in 2022 will once again be living at a halfway house in the city. David Richard Morin was arrested on a Canada-wide warrant last month for breaching the conditions of his release. On Tuesday, he was re-released, the Vancouver Police Department said in a statement. "VPD believes compelling reasons exist to warn the public that he poses a high risk of significant harm to the community," spokesperson Sgt. Steve Addison said.
  4. Trudeau or Poilievre: Who do Canadians think would work best with Trump? - Abacus Data So much for Justin's plan to use the trump victory as ammunition against Poilievre. Looks like the majority of people who have an opinion realize that poilievre would be much more effective
  5. So is the English language but you can't figure that out either
  6. And you're wrong and Also ignorant of basic currency trading That is one of the stupidest things you have said in the entire time I have known you. And it was up against some pretty stiff competition. First off that proves my point. A low dollar occurs when people have lack of faith in Canada and a low dollar hurts you. Whether you're in Cuba or not you weirdo. No we are not. In order to make things we must either buy the materials from other people, Or produce the material ourselves. If our dollar is low then purchasing it from other people costs more money and hurts us. Materials ourselves the cost still goes up because people around the world are willing to pay More money for the same product because their dollar is worth more and we still have to compete against that because there's nothing stopping somebody from selling their product elsewhere. So of course they're going to charge the going world market rate. If somebody is willing to pay $10 a bushel for wheat in American dollars and our dollar is low then we have to pay a lot more Canadian dollars to be able to buy that same bushel of wheat even if it was grown here. So you're entirely wrong, but the funny thing is you didn't even address what I said. You claim you disagreed and then went off on a completely different tangent. What I said is that the value of a dollar is a signal of a country's well-being. The stronger the country is the higher its dollar value. And nothing you said there addresses that Why are you so weird? Nothing I've said about is even remotely controversial, it's pretty common knowledge
  7. And still lose. Yes. Pretty much all of the celebrities and other people who endorsed to received massive cash payments to do so. Some have actually released the numbers and many of them are in the 10 million or more bracket. They really leaned into the celebrity endorsement and thought that would deliver a win. If anything it seems to have turned the American public off. It made her seem fake and like a fictional character rather than a real person, while trump's talks with the likes of elon musk and joe Rubin made him seem like more of a person and more relatable. It really is hard to imagine how the democrats could have screwed up this campaign anymore than they did. But it was a perfect storm for them, Kamala was always a horrible candidate. She was a horrible candidate when she was forced to step down due to lack of interest in 2020. And on top of it this was dropped on her out of the blue with no time to prepare. People don't realize it but it generally takes a good solid year of work to really plan up for and organize a good campaign. So it's not like it's a surprise. A bad candidate starting from a disadvantage ran a bad campaign. She overspent in all the wrong places trying to sell herself on popularity rather than policy or engaging with the public. And trump ate her alive. Maybe when he gets into power he can lend her that 20 million she short
  8. Your brain is simple. Learn to speak English if you want anyone to take you seriously
  9. The value of a currency is definitely without a doubt a signal of well-being of a country. In a world of fiat currency, the value is basically a statement on how the rest of the world sees your economy. If they see your economy is strong and that people are likely to invest in your country than the dollar tends to go up. If they see you as weak and your economy failing then the dollar tends to go down. Our current dollar is not a good sign
  10. It certainly not my taste, and wouldn't be if it was of a different political persuasion either. But it's very popular with a lot of Americans and a key demographic that democrats usually pursue and do well in. But absolutely nobody was buying into it this time
  11. Nope, the rest of it is too as you are now seeing. Unless you don't consider a 25% tariff to be a problem for Canada. You can't screw over a trading partner and expect them to still trade with you fair and square. That's just not how the world works. Trump didn't respect us the first time and we lost ground, Biden didn't respect us either and one of his first actions upon taking office was a slap in the face to our oil industry and then protectionism which we had to fight to get exceptions for and now we're back to trump who's looking at a tariff. And the US Has complained loudly about our supply management, border issues and other issues such as bringing in Chinese steel and passing it off as our own to bypass their tariffs on Chinese Steel. When we abuse our relationship with them like that of course they're going to turn around and retaliate. Obviously Trudeau didn't think it was much of a problem same as you do and now you're all surprised that they're going to slap a 25% tariff? Please. We're lucky it didn't happen sooner. Now we'll have to negotiate from a position of weakness and try and resolve this
  12. The order to move them had already been given. Swing and a miss
  13. It did. I mean it didn't end the country or anything but it had a significant impact. Our countries trade surplus With the US went down substantially after Justin's negotiations and stayed there until just after covid where pent-up demand led to additional demand for some of our products for a short period, and now it's falling again. Considering our increase in population and general inflation it should have been about two times what it was in harper's day at this point but most years it didn't even reach anywhere close to what it was and even now except for one year barely exceeds it. That's 10 years later. It wouldn't be smart with any foreign leader but with trump, and just before negotiations, it was just a terrible idea. And speaking out against trump during this election was also a bad idea and his people have come out swinging and talking about how absolutely terrible Justin is which is not a great place to start. Mulroney, Chretien, harper.... You could disagree with their politics but all three of them did a good job working with the united states often even when there were disagreements or disputes. All three negotiated better trade agreements that moved our country forward. But Trudeau moved us backwards and he's not heading in the right direction right now
  14. And would immediately just denounce your source as being too partisan Or claim that it says something completely other than what it says etc etc I mean it's not like he can actually argue with what you said and make a reasonable counter argument. He knows you're right so sea lioning is only thing he's got
  15. Not really. It's impossible to be extremely accurate or anything but it's kind of like predicting next year's stanley Cup division finalists. There's only so many teams, you have a pretty good idea of how they perform, it's not hard to say that two or three of them are almost certain to be serious contenders for the cup. Sure, anything's possible and maybe one of them gets knocked out early but the reality is most of the time you can predict With reasonable accuracy who at least one or two of the teams will be serious contenders. We don't know everybody that's going to put their name in the ring. But there's a few people you can begin to expect will be there. Again not with perfect accuracy or anything but with better than even odds. For example barring unforeseen circumstances it's almost guaranteed that vance will be throwing his hat in the ring to replace trump. Now maybe he gets hit by a falling meteorite and doesn't or something but it's a pretty reasonable bet
  16. you made a number of claims, including that right wing losers are freaking out about a daytime talk show That's pretty much your imagination. Kind of sounds like you're pretty upset about it though. Maybe you think it's a lot more important than even we do The evidence was right in the original article. It's common knowledge the view is popular, and the article mentioned that they had to be corrected for legal reasons a number of times in one show and that they are now concerned about it No, that's the pattern you like to lie about whenever you can't actually make an argument. dismiss any facts or evidence that you don't like Insist that others don't present evidence or facts when they do in order to prevent having to form an argument yourself Lie your ass off until you get caught Then insult everybody and pretend that you're stupid is their fault You say somebody is boring what you really mean is your emotionally distraught and buthurt about them having shot down another one of your false statements. Hey, if you actually thought I was wrong about any of it you to presented your own evidence to the contrary. So it's pretty obvious that you're just buthurt that I'm right yet again You are endlessly hilarious
  17. It certainly wouldn't do us any good that's for sure. At the very least it would be likely to crash our dollar. And yes as you say he's going to walk in and say he wants this and this and that and that with regards to military spending border issues and supply management and then he'll negotiate a small amount to make it look like he was being reasonable and finally cave. In the meantime he'll pocket any tariff money he does get to help reduce his deficit which he's been criticized for in the past. Trump is a bully, and uses bully tactics. And he hates Justin Trudeau and we'll be very happy to make Justin look like a weak little frail girly man yet again. We will get through it. But let's not forget that Biden wasn't exactly a friend to Canada when it came to trade either. We have let ourselves get into a position where we are completely subservient after 10 years of Trudeau. Prior to that Obama talk tough on trade and harper talked even tougher back and we got what we wanted.
  18. A lot of who the democrats push to be the nominee depends on their ability for fundraising. Hillary and Bill Clinton were amazing fundraisers. Biden rocked in the cash like nobody's business. The democrats tend to prize that a great deal. To a degree that plays a role in All American politics. It's one of the things that our canadian federal system shelters us from because donations are capped. There's also an interesting problem that was highlighted by a rather extensive research study. The upper echelon elite democrats are vastly disconnected from the average person. This is why they believed that things like women's Reproductive Rights would win them the election. It was hyper important to the elites, but it wasn't nearly as important to the average democrat who is more worried about putting food on their table. They believed that trump was an existential threat to the democracy of the united states, and the average person just wasn't buying that so that campaign didn't resonate. And they tried once again to put together the intersectional coalition that Obama successfully did and they couldn't.
  19. We did and we lost. Both Canada and Mexico had to give concessions. Jerome made the mistake I was speaking of him insultingly just before negotiations and it cost us. He's been bad-mouthing him again recently and not surprisingly all of trump's people have come out saying how much they hate Trudeau.
  20. Virtually none of that is true. All of that was rejected by America in the last election, and the polls indicate that in Canada the rejection is going to be even larger. What people want is opportunity. And that's what's been taken from them. That's what trump promised and kamala didn't. and that's what trudeau stole from canadians and what Poilievre promises to restore.
