I told you this a million times kid, nobody here is arguing with you. This isn't a debate or a discussion, you've never been able to make a clear point and your entire time here. You're the comic relief. We all enjoy laughing at you. LOL but i suppose a kid like you wouldn't have realized that It's absolutely hilarious that not only do you think you're actually in an 'argument', but that you think you're doing great! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Honestly, you just can't buy this kind of humour You're here for us to laugh at kiddo. Take a bow

Not really. ALberta sells oil to the us for example, bc sells lumber, sask sells potash, ontario sells steel, quebec electricity... so on and so forth. Not really 'competators in most cases'. No, they exist for other reasons. The fact we all can sell what we have to the states is what prevented anyone from working on that in the past, but not due to competition the way you're thinking. The trade barriers exist because of that underlying fundamental reason. I see you enjoy drinking on the weekend

I have bad news for you, that's what we have been saying for the last 10 years. That's how we got here Mostly liberal, and the worst of it happened in the last 10 years. Which party was in charge then again? Btw chretien and trudeau both DECREASED health transfers as a percent of cost, harper increased them. No, that's not accurate. And we have never had anything remotely close to a 'laissez-faire' market or economy. I've told you not to use words you don't understand. You recall incorrectly. Conservatives were not happy about the chretien way of doing things at all. Maybe some of the red tories but not that many. Sounds like what you're really saying here is that you're desperate to defend the liberals and their record. And to do so you'll make up any manner of bullshit. Why am i not shocked.

not really. Just people protecting their little fiefdoms. LOL sure kid. uhhhhhhhh.... I'd appreciate if you quit playing with your balls while you're talking to me

No. it was quite clear what the dems and the left said was happening. The accusations were not vague or 'subject to interpretation.' It was a lie. A lie built on a fraud that obama and clinton deliberately and with effort concocted. You can perhaps be somewhat forgiven for having fallen for the narrative at the time (tho it certainly calls your judgement into question, a rational person could smell a rat early on and questioned it) but at THIS point.... no. No you don't get to pretend it was valid Don't compound your poor judgement then with lies and bullshit now. It was very clearly a lie and a fraud.

The air force does not consider the big picture. They look at what they'd like to have. As i said, if it were up to doctors every small town emerg room would have mri's and all the best diagnostics. But that's not practical And we can not guarantee that we won't be in a situation where we need more planes not just the best planes. Sooooo kinda goes both ways. And yes, our military today barely deserves the name when it comes to size and gear because the public didn't push for more. LEARN from that. The purchase of military equipment is political, and right now the public is pretty cool on the idea of buying american. Carney is milking that to be frank. But the military isn't doing a good job of addressing the issues concerning canadians, so they may very well get stuck with whatever ottawa buys them and live with it. Frankly the best chance the military has to get more 35's is trump bullying carney, but that's a two way street. And yes, EVERYBODY works the way i just mentioned. Executives who've problably never done the job will buy the computers and software employees use. People who've never been in a high speed chase pick the cop cars. Politicians who've never prescribed a band aid select hospitals and equipment. They get advice and input from pros. But it's rarely the pros who make the decision unless they're a sole proprietor or the like. You keep pretending that you don't need the public on board with military spending. You do. It is not the military that will make the decision. They might give advice, they might share thoughts and ideas and the politicians may find that compelling but in the end the politicians want to look good to the people. Sorry, that's the way the world works.

Opinion: Canada slides downward in life expectancy rankings | Calgary Herald we have fallen from 5th in the world for life expectancy down to 22nd in the world. The role that the liberal federal government has played in this is significant, funding was largely cut under Trudeau and remains low at this time and immigration was such that it's significantly exceeded our medical ability to keep up. We already knew that the liberals had severely impacted our quality of life and that our GDP to capita ratio was low. But now we find that we're not even getting as much life as we should be in the first place The liberals have literally been the death of Canada and Canadians

Anyone with half a brain can see that she got played. He's already poisoned the well so badly that BC government and first nations will never agree to this and he made that a condition of any future deal. And look at the Timeline, this is an agreement to continue talking and to come to an agreement and the first date is end of April 2026. Before they can even go looking for a proponent in the private sector they need to work out those terms, and it would be the easiest thing in the universe to wind up saying well we have to bump that back a couple of months. Experts are saying that if all goes really well and smoothly based on the timelines out lined it's possible shovels could be in the ground by 2030. So all he has to do is stall a bit and it'll be the end of his second term before anything serious happens and then he could just cancel the whole damn thing and walk away and it's too late for her to do anything He's making her happy right now because he's vulnerable. And he's basically bought himself well over a year with this. That will give him time to shore up his support and prepare for an election where maybe he can get a majority. And if that happens as far as he's concerned she can go drill herself I've never particularly thought of her as a fool but she got fooled this time and it's not playing well at home for her. She got booed just the other day over the deal

I would imagine that a 12-year-old would think they're getting the better of people, but they're very clearly not LOL still crying and begging i see I accept your admission of failure

If he's the clown, why is everyone always laughing at you?

The only reason they got arrested in the first place is because the Americans made us grab a Huawei executive to start with! So you're giving them praise for putting some effort into solving the problem that they caused in the first place and we're supposed to look at this as what allies do. Reminds me of the old saying, with friends like this who needs enemies?

Infrastructure is actually extremely robust for our population size. So that's not the issue. The issue is it just became easier to sell to America. It's that simple. The free trade agreement mulroney signed with America hugely benefited both countries and that's where trade got focused. And now that's where our trade pathways are and barriers have grown up between provinces. It actually wouldn't take that much to knock the trade barriers down, but the problem is The Gatekeepers of those barriers are not interested in that and they are many

Best not to put all our eggs in one basket then it would seem 4 times in 40 years.... and never alone. Always as part of a united force. I have no doubt that our planes may get used. The us will pick some fight somewhere someday and once again we'll go. Or europe will or something. And as i said having a small fleet of the 'best of the best' to send at that time make some sense. I'm sure we'll always have a relationship with the US. But we need to move further away from being dependent on them. And i don't feel the issues i raised were addressed by what you said. And don't kid yourself, the opinions of people like you and me matter. I told you some time ago, you think the purchase of military gear is a military decision, but it's not. Its' a political decision and always has been and politics is downstream of public sentiment for the most part. This is a conversation canadians need to have, and it will reflect in what gov'ts do. That DOES explain why none of the military operations in history were named "opertation: Play nice with others and learn to share"

I don't see how it's possible to marry the idea of long-term sovereignty with complete dependence on the united states. In fact the opposite is true, right now the us thinks it owns our military and it's purchases. We're completely dependent. That's not sovereignty. I think we're agreed that we have to look beyond the immediate but it feels like when you do that you see closer ties to the states and i see the exact opposite as being in our best interest. The us cannot be trusted, we cannot hitch our wagon to that horse exlusviely.

looks like you're just making it up and lying robo. That' was already debunked above. By snopes, who's no friend of trump. Biden's program brought the guy in and that's pretty much the end of it.

That doesn't appear to be true. trump took over end of January 2025, this chart seems to stop at the beginning of 2025. (little unclear) So this is ALL biden But it doesn't. That's just a pure lie. It appears to show only the time biden was in office. It ends in 2025. Remember what i always say - if you have to lie to make your point, you probably don't have a very good point

The tariff thing doesn't seem to be bothering him too much, and the deportation thing actually seems to have support. He is getting beaten up with Epstein and I really am shocked but that really is a problem of his own making. We will have to see how the next couple of quarters pan out. A decent and respectable growth rate is about 3%. So far except for his first couple months he's hitting that and quite frankly almost every president misses it during their first few months. What has to be making him happy is the democrats are doing even worse than it. They really should be eating his lunch for it now that they're not. The fact is it wouldn't take much for them to be in a position to flip enough seats in the midterms to be able to impeach trump and actually have it go all the way. But right now that doesn't look like much of a threat just yet. If his economy doesn't pick up a bit then I think he might be in trouble. The simple fact of the matter is people expected lower prices and more opportunity and better jobs and so far that's been really lukewarm Oh I think they're going to be successful at politicizing it. When the stuff is released it will be in the papers again and we'll see how sticky it is. The left's ability to contort literally anything into proof that trump sleeps with 4-year-olds is nothing short of incredible. We'll see how badly it sticks. At the end of the day if people are making good money and eating good food and have a roof over their head comfortably they're not going to care . And right now when you listen to people in the polls it seems like it's still the problem is they feel he should be doing better on those fronts. We'll see what the next quarter looks like

Because you don't get the execution. Carney knows what to say, he knows what the conservatives are pushing is right but he doesn't know how to make it happen. Remember how we were going to build baby build, and do major projects faster than any time in our history? We're coming up on a year and he hasn't actually gotten anything going that wasn't already off the ground, And even if he did get this pipeline going with smith with which I don't believe for a moment that he's going to actually do they wouldn't even break ground for another 4 to 5 years. He failed with trump, he's completely abandoned inter provincial trade issues having failed at that, his housing plan is already failing, he's not delivering on anything. And every day I read in the paper about somebody being killed by someone who's out on bail for the fifth time, he was going to take care of that and even voted down a conservative motion and yet here we are And he intends to run perpetual deficits at a level we simply cannot afford. He's making Trudeau look stingy Hey if he could actually deliver on the stuff that he promises I think a lot of conservatives would be happy. But massive deficits, crumbling economy, continued rampant crime, continued Reliance on the US and no major inter provincial breakthroughs or major projects that weren't already happening, the guy might as well be justin Trudeau

Well here we go: 'This is a battle we don't intend to lose' — Blanchet throws his hat in with Eby against pipeline Quebec is jumping into The Fray. They will be attempting to turn this into proof that carney will happily step over the rights of provinces including Quebec if it suits him and quebecers and First Nations in Quebec may not get a voice. I think carney was trying to be a little bit clever here but it may come and bite him in the butjust a little bit before the dust settles bC nDP Flocked to the liberals last election And carney picked up a number of seats there, and also he did very well in Quebec. If this costs him support in those two provinces it will make it very difficult for him in another election.

So here's my challenge. Canada mostly needs to defend it's airspace. We don't go to a lot of countries and bomb them on our own. If we do at all, and that's getting more rare, we go with other allies like the us. So while it sounds like having a squadron or two kicking around to work jointly with them and collect our 'participation' awards when the US picks a fight somewhere and the rest of us get dragged into it, it doesn't seem like we will ever deploy sufficient numbers of them to justify buying 88. It would seem that what we need most is a reliable figher in sufficient numbers to protect our airspace at home. As to trump, there is no reason to believe the next guy will be any better for us to deal with. Or the one after that or after that. The republican senate and house has backed trump in his attack on us, and many americans have promoted the 51'st state idea. And it's not the first time. a Reliance on America is no longer viable. You need to cope with that. You haven't addressed that at all other than to say "Well....MAYBE they'll start being nice to us someday". Not good enough. As to whether or not my opinion is relevant, I and the others like me who pay the taxes are the ones who are going to be putting the bill. So guess what, it's relevant.

LOL every accusation you make turns out to be an admission All you do is parrot your betters.

LOL aww are you still crying kiddo? I guess i hit a nerve you're getting more and more worked up Yes, i accept your defeat Now to tell your mommie i said you could have a cookie and a nap

In the last 25 years how many times have we gone 4 years between electins? 3. The rest were all minorities. We hare a minority now. I know you feel we should just do away with democracy. Which is how i know you don't actually have a problem with corruption.

LOLOL holy crap YOU were the one who insisted 100 times over that legislation was perfectly fine and the constitution didn't need to be changed LOL I was the one who kept telling you legislation can't do it. Unfortunately you'll never get the constitution changed. Just not possible. Changing legislation is not htat hard, you can vote for a party that supports the changes. But the constitution requires all the provinces to buy in AS WELL as the gov't and it's always a disaster when they try. The only practical form of accountability is the voters. They partiicpate in the parties, they select the leaders they put the parties in power and they can take them out and punish them. If only we could get you to stop voting "yes" for corruption we might do something .But you've made it clear you don't believe in democracy in the first place and won't be supporting honest gov't anytime soon.

Yes, we can see you kiddo That never happened LOL you're having weird fantasies again I'm not happy with him for other reasons " and " i don't blindly support anyone. I don't pretend the leader of a party i support is perfect just because i support that party." Yeah, you seem to pee yourself regularly worrying about him I accept your admission of defeat
