You and your "woman" look very relaxed in this pic. Hope you are enjoying youselves.

The MAGA hyenas are up early, yapping their nonsense today.

lol...The idea that people believe Trump can end this war in 100 days or less, is hilarious.

You do a fine job of shaming yourself. Putin invaded the whole country. Not just Donbass. At this point in time, it is a stalemate. You should be ashamed for rooting for an enemy of North America, invading a much smaller country for territorial gain.

Prayer. The last refuge of a scoundrel.

Pete is really getting grilled today.

A "zone" in Florida? She's not in touch with reality.

Canada is preparing to strike back hard with retaliatory tariffs if Trump starts a trade war Published 5:49 PM EST, Fri January 10, 2025 Canada is preparing to retaliate with an exhaustive list of tariffs on American goods if President-elect Donald Trump follows through with his plans to add a steep 25% import tax on Canadian goods, people familiar with the matter told CNN. The preparations show how raising tariffs could kick off a trade war that will ultimately raise prices on a number of consumer goods around the world. Canadian officials are working on a list of dozens of American products that the United States exports to Canada, targeting items that both send a political message and inflict a reasonable amount of economic damage, two sources said. Included in the list of items considered for tariffs are ceramic products, steel products, furniture, certain alcoholic beverages like Bourbon and Jack Daniels whiskey, orange juice and pet food, among other goods, the people familiar with the plans told CNN. American energy exports are also on the list, and – as a last resort – Canada could levy a tax on the energy products Canada exports to the United States. But the sources cautioned that nothing has been decided yet, and the list could ultimately change or not be imposed at all. “I think we have to be ready,” said Melanie Joly, Canada’s foreign minister, during a press briefing in Ottawa Friday, as she was going into a cabinet meeting to discuss the list of retaliatory tariffs. “I think that when President Trump talks, we listen, and we need to take him very seriously,” Joly said, adding that it was important for the president-elect and the people advising him to know there would be consequences if he imposes tariffs on Canadian products and that Canada has “leverage.” The tariffs could deal a blow to Canadian businesses, which are preparing for a trade war with the United States, according to Goldy Hyder, CEO of the Business Council of Canada. Hyder told CNN that his membership, which includes Canada’s top CEOs, have only recently been consulted by the government and are being asked for input on retaliatory tariffs. “We need to carefully articulate how we would respond,” Hyder said. “Some have said we should just simply mirror their tariffs, others have said we should be more temperate in our response to get their attention, others have said we should ‘swing big’ and respond with great strength.” Hyder told CNN that Canadian business leaders have been preparing for a Trump presidency for nearly a year, but he noted that the implications of each strategy are still being analyzed. A budding trade war The announcement seemed designed to show that Ottawa is unafraid to get into a full-blown trade war, one that would deliver real economic pain to US workers, firms and allies of Trump. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced plans to resign earlier this week, following a mounting set of crises, including tariff threats from Trump. As Canada has faced an intensifying political crisis, Trump has piled even more pressure on the longtime US friend and ally. Trump has vowed to impose 25% tariffs on Canada on his first day in office unless Ottawa addresses his concerns about the flow of illegal drugs across the border. Trump has argued that the best way for Canada to avoid the pain of US tariffs would be to join the United States. “If Canada merged with the US, there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Monday. Canada is the United States’ largest trading partner. The United States imported $419 billion worth of Canadian goods in 2023, including everything from lumber and cement to cars and minerals. Canada is also the largest source of foreign oil into the United States. During a press conference on Tuesday, Trump would not rule out using “economic force” to make a merger with Canada possible and said the United States doesn’t “need” anything made in Canada. “They have a very small military. They rely on our military. It’s fine, but they’ve got to pay for that,” Trump said.

Poland is spending an insane amount and it's paying off in dividends. In the condition Russia is in, Poland would destroy Russia if they were to attack right now. Poland has the strongest army in mainland Europe, and they could probably give the UK a run for their money. Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, etc. All historical victims of Russian aggression, are ramping up their militaries, to the point it is actually nearly double the 2% target.

Many on this forum eat up Russian disinformation, like cereal.

Case in point... How is that different than any other industry, especially lumber. Yet we do not see the BC Premier on their knees trying to appease a dictator.

Good job, boys.

So why vote for PP, who by all accounts, is a slimy wimp.

@taxme is infamous on political circles in Canada. He has arguably the worst takes of any poster in history. The Antisemitism that he displays is so on brand, for him.

It's official. Sam Darnold is garbage. 4 sacks, two turnovers. Holds the ball far too long. Release him. He is a glorified backup QB.

It's official. Sam Darnold has been exposed as a piece of garbage, who is phony. He should never play for the VIkings again, and build the team around JJ McCarthy.

Thanks for posting the views of a White Supremacist.

You are what is wrong with Canada. Find another thread to ruin.

Sam Darnold literally playing for the big contract. If he chokes, he will lose out on tens of millions $$$. It's 10-0 Rams. He has to bring them back

I find the forum experience more enjoyable, if I put the negative nellies, who spend each passing day complaining about Trudeau and the "left" on ignore. This way, I don't have to sift through several redundant posts, and if I want to view a post, I just click it. Meanwhile, I can have constructive dialogue with the more rational members. Everyone wins.

That could change, depending on who the Liberal Party chooses as their next leader. in 1993, the PC Party was in the exact same position early in 1993. Once Kim Campbell was elected, she eventually pulled even with 6 weeks to go in the campaign, as the British press compared her to Margaret Thatcher, and she was also the first female leader in North American history. Unfortunately for Campbell, Canadians grew to dislike her, once she started speaking to the media, and during the debates. Looking back in retrospect, if the PC Party chose Jean Charest, they would have probably survived, and had a strong representation in Parliament, albeit in opposition.

All PP has done in Parliament, and in the media, is trash Trudeau and be critical of every move he makes. Would it not be more effective, to offer solutions, to the problems Canadians are facing. One of the main reasons for the Liberals winning one of the largest majorities in Canadian history in 1993, was they issued a whole policy book, detailing their positions on just about everything, while the PC' and Kim Campbell floundered, telling people "the economy may not improve until the end of the decade." The economy started to improved within a year, and we had relative prosperity for the second half of the decade.
