Professional and amateur psychologists are anxiously awaiting Trump's speech tonight. No amount of practical experience or classroom knowledge has prepared them for what they're going to hear tonight from the cognitively declining narcissist. The money line has him talking about himself, Biden, himself, Obama, himself, Clinton, himself, himself, the economy, then closing with himself. O/U for time is 90 minutes of BS flying left right and center with 342 lies sprinkled in that 100% of Maga dipshits buy hook line and sinker. Personally, I'm looking forward to the crash and burn and having a good laugh tonight!

Now I'm running away from your out of left field non-sensical questions.... You're right.... not playing 24 questions that have nothing to do with where this started. Again, you solve the world's problems and let me know how it goes.

Wouldn't try. You'll kick my *ss in that category. Do you have any idea what you say? How can I have flaws in my position when I said I don't have a position on how to fix mental illness and drug addiction. Don't be a fool.

Cite where I said anything about blowing up cartel members, or for that matter even mentioned cartels. Are you by chance hallucinating? Are you sure you're not partaking.... WTF are you talking about? Murder theft guns and weapons from a mental illness and drug addiction convo... With stuff like that you could be a candidate for both those social programs.

It doesn't sound like you trust them at all.... Fortunately we live in a democratic society and elect our leaders. We just had an election a little less than a year ago and by the chatter not surprising if we had anther one. If you believe the polls it's a liberal majority and the end of your boy with all the great slogans and no real plans. Ouch... But seriously.... do you blame all problems on liberal policies or do you think there may be a hint of truth in Trump trying to F us over?

Have you got your US citizenship yet and become a full fledge Maga-wing Republican, or still just a wannabe?

You solve the worlds problems then... I don't have the fail safe solutions to mental illness and drug addiction.

Drugs have been around as long as you've been on this planet and will be here long after you're gone. People aren't perfect and neither is the world. Where are you going now.... I never said anything about guns and certainly didn't say anything about legalization.

Yes I've seen the wording of the agreement. Try resetting your google search to allow the words left and liberal. You'll be more successful in finding information and less likely to get called out for your usual partisan nonsense. https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2026/01/16/prime-minister-carney-forges-new-strategic-partnership-peoples#:~:text=Agri-food and trade are,China by 50% by 2030. You talked a lot but didn't really say anything as you tried to deflect on deals that were praised by the canola farmers and fishermen it was affecting. You're not connected with either industry are you? https://www.canolacouncil.org/news/canola-industry-welcomes-significant-progress-on-chinese-tariffs/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/article/nova-scotia-lobster-industry-surprised-elated-by-suspension-of-chinese-tariff/ China has investments in Canada but we need more and beyond the auto industry.....think energy. The NA auto industry will eventually get back to a more normal cost and supply chain after tariffs are gone but what is the problem with a Chinese made vehicle competing at the low end of the price point scale? Is it any different than half or probably more of your personal and home belongings being produced in China? I always thought competition was good for the consumer. I don't know what EV's are available in that price range but know if they're quality vehicles with a reliable parts and service infrastucture people will buy them. You clowns automatically dismiss it because that's what you do... anything from a liberal can't be good unless PP thought of it first. Clowns... Anyway, TD Economics 2 cents; Canada and China recently entered a two-pronged strategic partnership. Tariff reductions will add an immediate layer of support to Canadian trade, while foreign investment benefits will unfold more slowly over time. The stock of Chinese direct investment in Canada could grow to around $90-100 billion over the next five years. This projection includes a cumulative $15 –25 billion of investment above a scenario in which no agreement was reached. Investment momentum is likely to remain strongest in Canada’s oil and gas sector, while EV, agri-food and technology investments will begin to gain traction. Investment in sensitive sectors like critical minerals, AI and telecommunication will remain tightly constrained by the Investment Canada Act. Deeper engagement with China has created some friction with the U.S. ahead of USMCA renegotiations, reinforcing limits on how far Canada can expand trade and investment ties. Canada’s economic and investment cooperation framework with China pushes Canada’s global positioning in the right direction. The deal should provide modest near term trade support, though meaningful investment gains may take some more time. Over the medium-term, China will likely regain more of Canada’s FDI pie, an important shift as the nation seeks to drive substantial capital flows into the country. Oil, LNG and EV related supply chains stand out as the most likely beneficiaries, while areas such as critical minerals, AI and data intensive industries remain tightly constrained. Heightened U.S. sensitivities ahead of USMCA renegotiations reinforce clear limits on how far Canada can deepen investment ties with China. https://economics.td.com/ca-china-canada-investment-relations#:~:text=Canada's energy sector%2C particularly oil,over the next several years.

I don't know the actual stats but I would confidently guess that the vast majority of drug users are 'casual' rather than addicts. Whether the decision of demand is logical or not is irrelevant because the demand will always be there. No different than it is with alcohol. Simple economics tell you that when there is demand there will always be supply. Interesting debate we hear often.... Admittedly not sure where I am on this. Who determines a 'mental issue' is and who decides what the criteria is for involuntarily institutionalizing someone. Politicians, health care professionals, law enforcement, social workers, combo of all? If it is either or who chooses them....our sitting government in the politically divided societies we live in? Probably most important to the masses though is who is going to pay for the new and needed brick and mortar institution facilities, phycologists, doctors, nurses, social workers, etc, etc? The masses want these people of the street and cared for, but the masses don't want to pay for it. No easy solutions to these issues...

We do, and think most civilized countries have the same issue. The difference here in Canada is that we don't blame everyone else for those drug problems like Trump does. Like Scheinbaum said, clean up your own house before you want to try cleaning up others. You're missing it... The majority of Canadian's don't hate America....they hate Trump. Big difference but unfortunately he's around another 3 years unless he goes one cheeseburger too many in his out of shape and sedintary body. That would suck huh...

Shady if he had to say something positive; 😶

Yes, your Trump Dick Sucker syndrome is laughable. Go watch and listen to any Trump speech and tell me if he can hold a thought to speak to for any more than a minute. I'm looking forward to the State of The Union comedy hour tomorrow night to see him thoroughly embarrass himself again. I get all the illegal immigrant talk and agree that if you're 'illegal' we have a problem.... BUT if by all intents a solid citizen (ie; no record) then there should be a process to get you that legal path. Murdering people like your ICE hero's did in MN isn't the way to approach that. That said, why did the Biden admin deport more illegals in his last year of term than Trump did in his first when it was such a priority?

Well the ball is in Smith's court now so we'll see if she can make progress, which I doubt. And finding an investor for a diminishing commodity that will take years and 10's of billions of dollars isn't likely. My 2 cents. As far as 'terrible' tanker bans are concerned.... of course they are to you. You don't live on the coast nor do you depend on it for your way of life or livelihood. Who cares if there was a spill in the Hecate Strait right.... F' em, we just need another pipeline because PP said so!

Given its factual and speaks to the agreement I don't refute any of it. I do though disagree with Ford's assessment given our current landscape, but guessing Ford has as well by now and will most certainly change his tune if in fact China was ever to invest in an auto plant here. You clearly have a different definition of sucking up. Removing tariff barriers that inhibit trade for the ~40,000 canola farmers and countless fishermen is sound business in the current situation we're in. Pray tell why I'll assume you had no issues with Harper's China agreements, or doesn't that count?

Well, I said he was a weak president but he did show class, morals and human decency so I guess that's a slight as well as some praise. Your TDS won't allow you to understand the class, morals and human decency thing.

Any ideas why the economy softened.... Think it might have anything to do with lumber, steel, aluminum or auto exports? Try reading a bit more... Chinese auto's have been coming into Canada for years under the names of Volvo, polestar and Buick. By all measures their manufacturers now produce well rated vehicles and if you can buy a good EV for under $35K, hell yeah people will buy them, just like the other 80%of everything you have in your home and elsewhere that is produced in China. But your solution to someone who is trying to decimate our auto industry is....what?

Great copy and paste, that still doesn't answer why you believe the evil liberals are unpatriotic because of this agreement.... what part of that are you hanging on. Is it what Ford said, or...?

lol.... Shady! The guy responsible for populating 25 of the 35 'what the liberals did to Canada' thread. Yes, I figured out long ago that you believe the world's problems are because of liberals.

lol... try again; Canadian canola farmers are shipping significantly more product to China as of early 2026, with approximately 600,000 tonnes of canola already en route or booked following a trade breakthrough. Besides not knowing what's even happening with your beloved CPC Prairie hotbed you seem to also be out of the know in what's happening with the US f*cking our lumber, steel and auto industries over in an attempt to break them. Given you don't understand what's happening next door I'm not surprised you're not aware of the potential trade relationship and discussions with China that are calculated with so-called guardrails. Did you have a problem with the agreements Harper's government signed with China back in 2014, or just compelled to rail on this because it's a liberal government?

So again... who are we going to sell it to and who the hell is going to invest 10's of billions of dollars into a pipeline if selling to the worlds second largest economy isn't an option. Help me connect the dots.

I have no comprehension challenges whatsoever. You on the other hand clearly have challenges with rational thought and explanation of your partisan comments.

No, what's good for me is seeing economic activity ramping up again which the reduction and elimination of tariffs to canola, lobster and crab do for those conservative farmers and fishermen. Seeing that your trusted agent Trump is hell bent on decimating the Canadian auto industry I also see possible opportunity with Chinese investment there. And your problem with any of this is....what?

Well, who do we sell it to then?

Rather than always talking the past why don't you point out all the great things happening today to your democracy, cost of living and foreign relations? Your TDS is too obvious...
