  1. CTV yesterday, ignored Nieto who also spoke to Trump.....and gave all the credits to Trudeau, as the one who knocked some sense into Trump! If Trump doesn't like the deal - the USA will pull out! That's the condition. The ball is now in Canada and Mexico's hands. If they want NAFTA, they better make sure Trump will like the deal. That's the position that Trump got them both into. These two gentlemen that he said on tv, he "likes and admires....." will have to come up with something really good!
  2. I stumbled onto this. Didn't know there are lots that got banned! Enjoy.
  3. Yes. Wouldn't it be something to have been a fly on the wall and listened to that phone conversation?
  4. Of course, you're basing that info from Trudeau and the CBC. What are the chances that Trudeau and Mexico suddenly made a compromise with Trump, just so USA won't pull out? And actually, that's part of Trump's negotiation tactic? He got them in a position he wanted them to be? Notice how Trudeau is subtly saying he knocked some sense into Trump, and made Trump realize that....."gee, so many people with jobs thru NAFTA. Thanks Justin for that info. " Yeah....he does makes himself seem like a "Trump-whisperer." Stepping on Trump to make himself (Trudeau) look good to Canadians. Here we go again with Trudeau preening (and making Trump look dumb to Canadians).......and the likely coming fall-out because of that statement. I say it ain't over til the fat lady sings. Watch!
  5. Faulty Towers! I love Manuel....
  6. Check this out! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/04/25/wild-boars-overrun-islamic-state-position-kill-3-militants/100876844/ Oh the irony.........radical Muslims - killed by PIGS!
  7. Do you notice China sort of washing her hands on N Korea? From what I heard, some editiorials in China are really hard on North Korea. You suspect a deal has been struck between USA and China?
  8. You don't find N Korea's previous behaviours, provocative?
  9. The softwood lumber was brought up numerous times over the years.... I don't know much about it, but from what I heard Trump's decision on 20% tariff won't be beneficial to the USA too. I couldn't help but think that this has something to do with Trudeau, more than anything else. Remember Trudeau's taking pot shots at Trump? Maybe, hopefully....... Trump is working on making it easy to get rid of Trudeau in the next election....
  10. It has nothing to do with charm! Bottom-line: Canada thinks trade with the USA is important more than the USA sees it the other way around. It was the Liberals who were like deer caught in the headlights until they came up with this brilliant idea of using "charm." Nothing wrong about that. Charm could work. But the silly twits went on tv to divulge their strategy! And they were preening like fools - fishing for compliments for that brilliant idea! And they did these media blitz a few days before they went to Washington! They made the Trump team seem like idiots on tv, who'll easily fall for it! It'll be like me posting and announcing on my status update: "I'm going to butter up to Wilber so he'll be more than willing to see my pov.........and he'll give me lots of likes!" Would you fall for the compliments I give you henceforth, and give me likes?
  11. Never mind the hints. I wasn't asking for clues, or hints. Discuss! I didn't experience WW2. How many among here even had their parents - and their grandparents - experience it? Besides, that was how many decades ago? If you don't want to discuss it, then ignore my comments. Your "hints"are noted. Thank you.
  12. When the Liberals went giddy about their "charm offensive," and they were everywhere on tv calling it such, it suggests that Trump and his people are naive enough to fall for that kind of tactics. What more, the Liberals bragged about it in the media! It's like being at war, and telling the public how you'll deal with the enemy. This is negotiations, folks. Negotiations doesn't actually begins at the bargaining table. Why on earth did the Liberals have to brag about their "charm offensive?" Publicly, to boot? Like as if Trump team doesn't watch tv, or keep abreast of what's happening next door. The bragging of the "charm offensive," places the Trump team at an uncomfortable position: they'd look naive in public if they become amenable! What other position would the Trump team be forced to take than to play hard ball? So now, not only is Trump dumping on Canada (trade), but there seems to be hostility in his message! I wouldn't be surprised if this is the result of the so-called "charm offensive".....with Trump saying, "it didn't work, folks. I'm not stupid."
  13. What happened to Altai???

    Did she put herself on ignore? :)

      Yes it always amazed me how she used this ignore function as some sort of bludgeon. I'm not sure I would even know how to activate it because I never have, except within my own mind, which I came to do with her. Oh well apparently she is young and exuberant so maybe she will show up again. I'll probably be on the ignore list though.

      I'm not sure if I'm on ignore. If I'm not I actually feel left out. It's so hurtfull, where's my safe space.

    4. overthere

      overthere

      Me too, I soaked my pillow in tears when I learned I was on ignore.

  14. Unless NKorea fires a missile towards the USA, and we send soldiers to combat, in what other ways are we in Canada - the citizens - going to be affected by it?
  15. What is a "proto-hippie?" I think of someone who's always stoned on grass.
  16. I don't know which section is appropriate to post this. They say nuclear war is more possible now than it's ever been. There's allegedly panic-buying going on in Japan (which is understandable with them in that region). https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3407199/japan-nuclear-bomb-shelters-kim-jong-un-war-north-korea/ Does the likelihood of war concern you? Should it concern Canadians? How would it affect us, if ever this war breaks out?
  17. Read again. Who's complaining about large fonts?
  18. Why on earth would Todd Beamer use his cell phone REPEATEDLY after the crash when he knew he was supposed to have died in that plane crash? If United 93 (and all the other 3 planes) didn't crash..........where are all the passengers in those airlines? They all have loved ones grieving, you know. Are you saying they're all involved in that conspiracy? What's in it for them? Why die for an EVIL, DIABOLICAL hoax? Those are simple, logical questions. But you're doing your desperate darndest to ignore them and turn the page....
  19. Raising the Christian card won't get you off the hook, either hot enough. From large fonts, to religion......you seem to be trying all the tricks. Just answer the simple questions!
  20. yada-yada-yada...... Answer the question! Using large fonts won't get you off the hook! Neither colored. So don't even think about it!
  21. I hope nobody try to make a movie of your conspiracy theory. It's full of holes. Why on earth would Todd Beamer use his cell phone REPEATEDLY after the crash when he knew he was supposed to have died in that plane crash? After that allegedly hoax of a plane crash, Beamer's supervisor (or whoever was orchestrating it), would've had to make sure nothing that stupid will happen, and unravel the hoax!
