UN said Canada needs more helicopters to meet its peacekeeping commitment?
So.....why's Trudeau promising something he can't deliver? We don't even have enough helicopters! Now, don't we just look so pathetic before the world?
Keep humiliating us, Justin....
-
Boy, we're sending two helicopters! Count them! TWO!
What's the UN complaining about?
-
Quote
'A helicopter is not like a car. They have planned maintenance,'' said a UN official familiar with the talks. ''Therefore, in order to have two available on a daily basis you would need three."

Oh, Canada......humiliation after humiliation......when will it ever end?

Brace up! Just heard this news report:
1,200 marching Hondurans are not trying to settle in the USA. They simply want to pass through.
They will be met at the Mexican border by the US National Guards, and will be bused to a Canadian border.
They're all claiming to have been invited by Trudeau!
Of course.....that's fake news.

Ok. Trudeau's tweet could mean anything.
It's the timing of his tweet, Dialamah.
It came right after Trump's immigration/refugee policy were being enacted - clearly, our very young Trudeau was trying to show how he's the contrast of Trump.
He's inviting the rejects of Trump!
-
I would rather have Trump's rejects than his supporters.
-
I know.
His rejects mostly come from known terrorist nations.....or, nations that support terrorism.

@betsy So is the Toronto Star and the Liberals of course, no surprise there. The game is on.
Actually it’s not new as it’s questionable as to how much coverage the media really provides, and in this case, how fair they would be. Last fall Patrick Brown’s Chief of Staff canvassed media outlets about not providing a bus to follow Brown during the campaign so the PC’s were looking at doing away with the bus long before Ford became leader.

What's wrong with this picture?
1,200 refugees/migrants marching to the USA. By jove, they're determined to get in - by hook or by crook!
What's wrong with you guys? You don't like Canada? Even when the welcome mat's been laid out to you?
I think as a Canadian, I feel insulted by this.

It was fake news that, once again, you and Trump fell for.

I got it from the CBC.....and CTV!
If it's fake (I won't automatically believe your source, you know)......after all, your own source did admit that it's a regular occurrence for caravans.........somebody didn't do their homework.
CTV and CBC fell for it, too!

“How do we know you’re telling the truth?”
The speech of sex workers is under unprecedented scrutiny in American politics right now. Clifford replied, “‘Cause I have no reason to lie. I’m opening myself up for, you know, possible danger and definitely a whole lot of shit.”
Exactly! Why open yourself to possible danger (not only from Trump - if he is a dangerous opponent, or from his followers)? What's in it for you? There's gotta be something.
No reason to lie? Oh yes, you do.
The cynic in me says......
There is one very big reason to lie: 15 minutes of fame for a porn-star only porn enthusiast would've heard about! You and your lawyer are making the media rounds.....
....could there be a book coming out in the near future?

QuoteA few weeks later, she says, a man approached her in Las Vegas."I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter," Daniels said. "And a guy walked up on me and said to me, 'Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.' And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 'That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom,' and then he was gone," she said.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/26/politics/5-revelations-in-stormy-daniels-interview/index.html
How do we know this really happened?
QuoteDaniels said she was shaken by the experience but never told police out of fear.
I don't know about this "fear" factor. You don't look fearful to me now. In fact, your lawyer sounds more like taunting. Just because you went public, does not eliminate any danger. It isn't only Trump you've got to consider here, especially in these turbulent times in politics - there are also the lunatics.
If fear is your reason - I think you, and your lawyer - have chosen a lousy timing to come out swinging.

QuoteDaniels told Cooper her former manager and former attorney pressured her to sign it."If it was untruthful, why did you sign it?" Cooper asked."Because they made it sound like I had no choice," Daniels said. "As a matter of fact, the exact sentence used was, 'They can make your life hell in many different ways.'"When asked who "they" were, Daniels said she believed it was Cohen.
---------------
Cohen has denied he made any threats to Daniels, and following the airing of the "60 Minutes" interview, an attorney for Cohen said in a letter that Daniels had defamed his client.
-------------------------
When asked about Daniels' charge that she was pressured into signing a false statement, her former attorney, Keith Davidson, responded in a statement to CNN: "I do not believe that the assertions in Ms. Daniels' 60 Minutes interview represent a fair and accurate description of the situation."He added that he cannot discuss the matter because of attorney-client privilege."The current legal requirements prohibit me from doing so until such a time that Ms. Daniels, in writing, waives attorney client privilege and authorizes me to speak publicly on the matter," Davidson said.Marc Harris, the lawyer for Daniels' former manager, Gina Rodriguez, told CNN, "Ms. Clifford did not say during the interview that Ms. Rodriguez pressured her in any way to sign the January 2018 statement."Though she technically is not shown saying it during the interview, Anderson Cooper's voiceover made clear that is what Daniels said.https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/26/politics/5-revelations-in-stormy-daniels-interview/index.html
Daniels should be pressured to waive the attorney-client privilege - we have to hear from everyone that's being implicated in this circus.
-
Daniels might be following the lead of what seems like an opportunistic, sleaze bag lawyer - her current lawyer - who could be using her to make a name for himself, to say the least.
Below is a very interesting article.

Hey Bubb, are your awake?
I gave you the sources twice now - once in your own status update. Read them again!
I asked you to give me your source that verified the piss tape - so far, you never produced a single thing!

Jaws - especially Whoopi's - must've dropped when Condi Rice spoke about the 2nd ammendment.
"Here’s what she said
“Let me tell you why I’m a defender of the Second Amendment,” she began.
“I was a little girl growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, in the late fifties, early sixties,” she explained. “There was no way that Bull Connor and the Birmingham Police were going to protect you.”
“And so when White Knight Riders would come through our neighborhood,” she said, “my father and his friends would take their guns and they’d go to the head of the neighborhood, it’s a little cul-de-sac and they would fire in the air, if anybody came through.”
“I don’t think they actually ever hit anybody,” she continued. “But they protected the neighborhood. And I’m sure if Bull Connor had known where those guns were he would have rounded them up.”
“And so, I don’t favor some things like gun registration,” she said to a suddenly silent crowd."
Too bad Condi has no plans to run for office. This is THE WOMAN that should lead!

Obviously you've never heard of an analogy. And Betsy is a Trump supporter (as I figure you must be by how you resort to personal attacks when his name is mentioned), so pointing out the hypocrisy of finding deficit spending "scary" while supporting the current president is fair game.
That's not a good analogy! Jobs are being created in the USA - businesses are coming back to the USA! Last time I heard, he was going to announce some tax-cuts! The people are getting something back!!!
Compare that with the deficit - and the jobless rate you got in Ontario! We're losing businesses! Not to mention we're being taxed on everything they can tax. What do we get???
Right! The comparison of two deficits. Use Trump to compare with Wynn!
-
Okay. I did.
The jobless rate in Ontario is the best it's been since 2001.

"Angela Merkel admits that 'no-go zones' exist in Germany
Conservatives and populists have long warned of the existence of such zones as the partial consequence of mass Muslim migration from the Middle East and Africa, particularly after Merkel opened Germany’s borders in 2015 as a response to the Syrian refugee crisis. Such areas are said to be dogged by high-levels of crime and are described as "no-go zones" because outsiders, including police and other authorities, are unable to enter.
“Today, it seems this taboo has been broken. Guess who is talking about ‘no-go zones’?” a blog post on the Hungarian government’s official website said. "

Mass exodus from 'Mad Max violence' in Venezuela: Thousands flee across bridge to Colombia amid desperate hunger and soaring crime following economic crisis

Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on FacebookQuote....... Venezuela once enjoyed relatively high levels of economic freedom, although this occurred under dictatorial regimes.
And, ultimately, the lesson we learned is that socialism never, ever works, no matter what Paul Krugman, or Joseph Stiglitz, or guys in Spain like Pablo Iglesias say.
It was very common during the years we suffered under Hugo Chávez to hear these pundits and economists on TV saying that this time, socialism is being done right. This time, the Venezuelans figured it out.
They were, and are wrong.
