Michelle Obama says people, especially kids should eat more healthy food. Republicans mock her. Robert Kennedy says people, especially kids should eat more healthy food. Republicans say Amen.

Yeah, what does Poilevre do when Trump endorses him? Get a smiling pic shaking hands with him, or actually show some courage? There's the election right there.

Gotta be a place for Carrot Top in this administration. Wait, no. He's too smart.

"This Administration – led by the same President who delivered a medical miracle with Project Warp Speed" Mcconnell praising Trump for developing the Covid vaccine. Woketards!

Yes they still use a lot of coal and are probably the worst Co2 emitters. But they're pouring a lot into renewables to change that. On the other hand: AP News: Jan 24, 2025 —" Trump this week suggested coal can help meet surging electricity demand from manufacturing and the massive data centers needed for artificial intelligence." Trump wants to go backward.

Sorry. It was Deluge and you quoted him. I accidentally copied your post instead of his. My apologies.

Well first off, I don't need to do anything you say. And secondly, which one of you Zealots will be first to drink the kool-aid?

But spending money on Ukraine might interfere with the tax cuts for billionaires. 'Nuff said.

The west, led by the U.S could easily outspend Russia into submission. Russia's already spending a third of their budget on this war and losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It's so bad they need to bring in North Korean cannon fodder. **** 4-3 Canada in overtime vs Sweden!!!!! But Trump will get a promise for a couple of Trump hotels in Russia and throw Ukraine under the bus. Who's next for Putin?

And who knows - maybe Freeland will win. Trump doesn't like her so she must have done something right.

Bet you Putin's poppin' champagne and laughing his ass off.

You should look at what China is doing in the Renewable sector.

No disgrace at all. Just one aspect of our system. We elect parties, not prime ministers. The winning party can choose whoever they want for "Prime" minister. However it is very important for that person to get into the Commons (if they aren't there already) to answer the opposition's questions. Sorry you're feeling ill and hope you get better soon.

So wtf? You think a small surplus or deficit with India is a major problem? Our trade with them is growing and now let's hope it grows more. Looking forward to your next missive. Respectfully yours, B.

Read the damn thread. Look up, way up...

Sigh.. OK. I'll let you have the last

Just google or duckduckgo that phrase.

Wow. I must have touched a sore spot. You guys are foaming at the mouth...

You were speaking of India-Canadian trade. In 2012, Canada and India traded just over $5.2 billion in merchandise In 2014, Canada and India's bilateral trade was $6.4 billion In 2016, India and Canada's bilateral trade was $5.62 billion

Ok, that was worded wrongly. Lets put it this way: Trump enriches himself, taking hundreds of millions from tech giants, foreign countries and corporations... But what is he actually doing for working Americans? Seriously - how has he actually helped working class folks?

Yeah, blame DEI for everything while Trump and his friends rob you blind.

No, Trudeau going over there and inviting someone who killed their political leaders in the past to go along with him combined with his mocking them with weird Bollywood outfits is what led to the decline and almost immediately after that visit we began to see what was a healthy trade surplus dwindle to nothing. Harper had spent years building that relationship and this guy torched it Then there's Saudi Arabia, there's Europe where he completely screwed up the free trade deal so that we don't benefit from it but they do, there's the free trade deal with the Americans where he lost ground. Then there's Japan who is begging to buy our natural gas and was told to f off and now has bought it from America as well as germany. Trudeau's history on the trade front has been an abject disaster You absolutely should and that's what happens with nations. That's why any responsible government make sure that they are not dependent on a neighbor. And it's not just trump, this is not the first time we've been through this. Biden made us fight for our trade relationship too, Obama threatened it, if you go back through history many American presidents have directly threatened or influenced or impacted our economy in a negative fashion right down to canceling the Avro Arrow and disbanding our aviation programs or threatening us over water rights. So you don't leave yourself vulnerable. You don't put all of your eggs in one basket and you make sure that your Country is strong and healthy and they failed to do that. Without any doubt and buy a fair margin Trudeau has been the worst Prime minister we have ever had by far, and a classic example of the liberals destroying and the conservatives will need to step in and rebuild India-Canadian trade has increased both ways since the pandemic. Every Western country had high inflation coming out of the pandemic. Trump only won because of inflation. He promised to bring prices down. He isn't even trying and in fact is pursuing stupid policies which will increase inflation. EVERY economist is saying this. We have trade agreements. Trump signed a new trade treaty with us and of course he's going back on his word. He only opens his mouth to lie. But you gotta keep those tax cuts for the rich. Right? And I just paid off my house a few months ago. It can be done. Easy to get a mortgage with a lower monthly payment than rent. But if you've got grievances it's easy to find someone to blame.

You don't need to tell me about the price of food. I feed a family of four on a small income. On that same small income I bought and paid off a house. Sacrifice the unnecessary and it can be done. Inflation was a worldwide phenomenon. India's government is the problem in our relations. Despite (or maybe because of tha)t Indian nationals have made up the largest per cent of Immigrants for a few years where I live. ) When you have the closest relationship of any 2 countries in the world for at least 80 years you shouldn't have to prepare for a trade war. That's on one man-Trump. I agree our productivity is slipping. Hope the next government can address that.

Yeah, I have to agree with most of what you're saying: bring down internal trade barriers, Controlled immigration and looking forward to the election - policies and debates.

Maybe. On the other hand , if the republicans showed some sense and put up an intelligent nominee with sensible policies I might vote for him or her. But I'm Canadian and thankfully the American political sickness that the other side are always demonic agents of destruction only has a foothold here. Let's keep it that way. I don't like Justin Trudeau. I did not vote for him. In Canada we vote for our riding's nominees and the majority forms the government. I looked at the leaders , the party's policies and the Liberal party was clearly the best choice. I haven't seen anything from Poilevre and the Conservatives that might change my mind next time. Good luck with Trump and be careful what you hope for.
