No. Air force 1 is whatever plane the president is on. It's a call sign. I've posted this already in this thread. While they usually set aside one plane as being the plane the president uses the most the fact is ANY plane is air force 1 if its' got the president on board. No, it's just the name of the plane he's on. And absolutely ALL presidents get to decide the future of such assets. A president signed off on the creation of the plane being developed by boeing right now, regan decided to send a previous 'air force 1" to his museum, etc etc. Dude. Quit lying. It makes you look horrible and makes trump look more reasonable. Like i said you can say you don't think it's worth the money and others can say they do just like any gov't policy but it is not 'for his personal use' nor is it a 'personal benefit' to him. Lying wont' change that.

Sigh. No, it is for the use of the president of the united states. It is not for his 'personal use'. Sorry but repeating a lie endlessly will not make it true.

Honestly the very first thing i thought when i heard that quote.

This is true, but they do follow the commonwealth traditions and are guided by precedent set in ALL of the common wealth countries. They don't just make it up as they go. So they are still bound by the overall conventions if not the monarch directly. But still, good point. This is stupid. I don't know why you can't just stop when you make a good point without having to carry on to demonstrate the fact you said something intelligent was a fluke The whole purpose of the visit was an exercise in symbolism showcasing the fact that canada is not a 'stand alone' nation but is part of a larger national community and history and that we do not stand alone. The comments entirely undermined that simple message, and for god's sake a GG should know better. I expect YOU to be largely clueless but if you're going to serve in the GG'S office you SHOULD KNOW who your boss is, even if it is largely symbolic. To put this in perspective this is like the president of a company showing up at a branch office and having the branch manager say "wow, this is a great opportunity for our two companies to grow closer".

The woke are exceptionally agressive and organized and do NOT tolerate "alternative opinions". It's going to be hard to dig them out.

Thanks for admitting the dems lost and lost badly Historically democrats always win a second term. How's that working out for ya?

... having weird fantasies about being in my head LOL yes we know Funny, you seem to spend all your time daydreaming about me and what you'd say if i could hear you, and i never think of you at all This. Technology has wiped out almost all the jobs that humans have needed to do to stay alive... yet humans still have work and still thrive. AI is not going to leave humans out of work and dying.

Uh oh - @ExFlyer gave that one of his passive agressive down votes but can't refute any of it Always appreciate your little admissions i'm right while you cower in fear in your basement little guy

... and for some reason you cried like a baby about that for a month Which pretty much proves that you have NO idea how ANY of this works LOLOLOL

It is STUNNING that they have not learned from the last election. It is CRYSTAL CLEAR that americans are turned off by the woke. Even the ones who lean to the left and would like to see some moderate socially progressive policies. Even ones who dont' really agree with trump. They are still circling that far left radical drain and they will definitely lose the next election if they keep this up.

No, the best you could argue is THEY know how it works. YOU didn't win. You just sat by with your thumb in your mouth. YOU don't know how it works, which is why so many think you're a teen living in your mom's basement. ONE guy? We're ALL laughing at you kid at this point you should be a comedy club

Yep. there's the rub. "A re-elected Liberal government will cap the number of non-permanent residents in Canada at less than 5 per cent of the population, and limit the annual growth of permanent residents to less than one per cent," So to put that in perspective, that's about 2 million temporary workers and students a year. TWO MILLION. That's his "reduction'. Per year. And 1 percent permanent is still 400,000 new permanent people, which is probably more than we can find homes for by itself. So his intention is still to prop up a failing economy by extremely high temporary foreign immigrants either as students or workers or both. Not only is this going to be disastrous for our economy and not only does it mean that there will be a hell of a lot less tax money to provide the same services that were used to put on top of it every year that passes it gets harder and harder to reverse the trend and get Canadian businesses back towards profitability and productivity without cheap semi-slave labor.

So it's while he's working on the job and then it goes to a GOVERNMENT library after. Presidents don't get to 'own' their library's, those are owned and run by the state for the benefit of the people. So in other words it's no diferent than your job giving you a car to use while you're working, that you have to give back when you quit That is NOT a 'personal benefit', It is not a gift to him personally and we've been over that 1000 billion times and you still lie. They can not give the plane to him. He cannot and will not own it. They are clearly trying to win favour with him but it is not a gift TO him and he's well aware of that and has acknowledged he can't accept it personally. Dude if you have to lie to make your point then you don't have a good point. Not at all. Sorry but that's just not true. And a better plane will become available shortly after he's gone. Theoretically, unless there's even MORE delays. And who knows, he may very well allow this plane to continue to serve and put it in the museum after the new plane is ready. If he doesn't well that's his choice as president. I get that you WANT DESPERATELY for this to be 'wrong' and 'evil'. But Presidents have accepted gifts worth a lot of money from foreign gov'ts for ages. They can't keep them but they can and have used them and benefitted from their use. It's fine to say you think it's a bad decision, i would guess that if you were being honest that EVERY president makes some decisions you think are not good decisions. But painting it as some sort of morally corrupt or lawfully questionable thing is stupid, and you constantly have to lie to try to shoehorn it into that pigeon hole and it just doesn't fit.

I agree that having a GG in a practical sense is a major circuit breaker protecting our democracy and is extremely desirable. But I don't know that your change is going to make much difference. The problem is anything you can change easily can be changed back easily. I mean we have a similar problem with judges. To resolve this harper went through a massively complicated consultation process and came up with a system that produced a committee that would make a recommendation of a few judges for the prime minister to pick from. It included all political parties, the police, and some other groups so that it was extremely non-partisan and judges were Chosen based on their results and service rather than political leanings or connections. It was widely acclaimed as an excellent solution that produced great results. Trudeau killed it 5 minutes after taking power. I would expect the same to happen here. If the conservatives did as you said and put in a selection process that was nonpartisan the liberals would simply toss it out when it suited them and put in whoever they liked.

Again, we've been hearing that forever when it comes to technology. But the fact is mankind exists to push the limits. Whatever we get them doing, we will want to do more. For the vast majority of mankind's history about 90% of the people on the planet were involved with agriculture because it took that much effort just to produce enough food to survive. Eventually we started to develop machines that made that much easier and in this day and age it's something like only 20% of people that are involved in agriculture and even that is falling. Machines have replaced the vast majority of our most important task for most of our existence Yet somehow we're not doing absolutely nothing and living like royalty No matter what, technology only allows people to have the time to push the limits and do more.

It's practically renewable (for canadians anyway). And it's safer than any other permanent reliable source of power. The current one being built is the first of it's kind and took less than a decade from design to authorization to proceed. And any mega power project costs billions. Go look up the site c dam Its genius. There is no 'renewable' energy source the way you mean it that is reliable. The sun sets. Wind stops. we've seen the results. Thee is no effective storage of electricity right now. So nuclear power provides a perfect emissions free alternative that runs 24 7 every day of the year, is safer than any other reliable energy source, and can be placed anywhere. It would make the whole 'carbon' problem go away for good. Which is why you hate it. You don't care about climate change, you care about having something to be angry about.

There's nothing defensive about stating a simple fact. You said something that was untrue, I have said the truth in order to correct you It's kind of funny that you find the act of being honest to be associated with being defensive?

But it's not his personal use. It's for the use of the current president of the united states. No matter how you like to sing and dance that is the simple truth. It's no different than the current air force one, it's not there for his personal use either. You twist and turn and wine and cry but at the end of the day you cannot make this his personal property. If he accepts it he will be accepting it to use as president to the united states unless he just accepts it and allows it to sit on a Tarmac somewhere as a gift. Again your hatred and bigotry blind you. Everything I've said is 100% the truth

Oh I don't think anybody's under any illusions as to the functional head of state, and it's not the king. Harper said essentially that to Queen Elizabeth back in the day. The push came to shove and it was a question of one or the other Canadians would defend Canadians interest and Britain would defend Britain's interest. We all know that The king is the head of state isn't a practical position, but it is symbolic and it does tie us to a certain history. And there are times when that is a valuable thing to remember. This would appear to be one of them

I heard That argument when computers were coming out. Computers, AI, so on and so forth allow humans to do more with less effort. They do not nor will they ever replace humans. Or at least nothing will that we are currently have on the table or on the drawing board. There's no doubt that some jobs will no longer be relevant but new jobs will be created, just this happened with computers And ai isn't real intelligence, it's just repeating what it's been exposed to thousands of times. So of COURSE it's left wing

So your position is that only unhappy people speak the truth? Every single thing I said there was verifiably accurate. I guess it's true, ignorance is bliss and you are living proof I can't blame you for wishing to be a happy fool. Sadly my IQ, being in the triple digits, does not allow for that

according to the voices you hear. And thats fine but it's not reality. Of course they are. As much as a plane that he can't keep is. It's for virtue signaling and personal brownie points in the crowds that they operate in etc etc. Sometimes it's even directly for personal gain as those same organizations will put them on their board of directors after they leave office where they will make a nice healthy amount of money for doing nothing. I believe it was just reported that Trudeau is up to 8 million dollars from that currently? So again you're going back to this personal benefit lie which is simply untrue. Trump won't be keeping the plane. But you can't stop lying about that. In fact I've been critical of a number of things he's done. The difference between you and me is I base my approval or disapproval of something on facts and reality. You base yours on bigotry and hatred. You lied about trump keeping the plane, you've lied about a number of other things, and you've dismissed all facts or reason. Sorry, I realize that trying to convince you of the error of your ways is no different than trying to convince slave owners in the past that blacks really could be fine on their own even if they were free, but the fact is that this would be no different than a president accepting a gold snuff box, a sword encrusted with jewels, etc etc all of which has happened, and he doesn't get to benefit personally. Have fun with your hatred.

The vast majority speak against it, and not that this board is a perfect sample but we see it here as well. BC's ndp just recently renewed a "no nuclear power" law forbidding it in the province under any circumstances. Pretty much every left wing group is against it and at best lefties seem to 'tolerate' the idea and rarely at that. I'm sure you do but that's because you're dishonest. In fact it was front and center in PP's platform, the conservatives have always supported moving forward with that kind of tech and being world leaders in selling it. Conservatives love it - its something we can sell, it's something that we can sell the fuel for, it's safe and efficient and it's great. Conservative gov'ts provincially have been the ones pushing this tech and adapting it, alberta and ontario have been driving it along with virtually no help from the federal liberals. But sure... conservatives will hate it because..... voices in your head maybe?

You really have to tint them rose to think it's not mostly gloom and doom. We're the lowest in productivity . We've fallen from about number 5 to about number 30 in gdp per capita which determines quality of life. We're experiencing serious stagflation, our debt to gdp ratio is terrible and growing worse rapidly, we're likey to add about 100 billion dollars in debt this year (hard to say with no budget but based on campaign promises and the campaign budget errors we know about it's going to be higher than 80), youth unemployment is at a multi decade high, and our homes per capita is at the very bottom of the pile and there's no way to fix that in the near future, and Carney's only plan to do so is massive gov't investment into modular home building.... which his company just happens to have a major stake in. It is NOT rosy right now. And there is really only one party that holds the blame for that. (yes the ndp propped them up but they were still the ones in charge).

Holy crap kid, now you're having fantasies and daydreams about voices in other people's heads? LOL that's pretty bad 🍿🍿🍿 [munch munch] 🍿🍿🍿
