  1. Incompetent Katie Simpson of CBC spreading fake news!  She said Trump had a replacement for Flynn but that the guy said,  "thanks, but no thanks."  THAT'S A LIE!

      She left the report at that - leaving viewers to think that the new guy doesn't want to have anything to do with Trump.  It's a smear tactic.

    If Katie is competent as a journalist, she would've researched a bit more and found out the reason why the new guy turned the position down.

    "Retired Vice Adm. Robert Harward cited "financial and family issues that would have been challenging in this position" in explaining his decision to decline the offer.

    "Like all service members understand, and live, this job requires 24 hours a day, 7 days a week focus and commitment to do it right. I currently could not make that commitment," Harward said in a statement reported by CNN's Jake Tapper.

     

    According to the Financial Times report, a source familiar with Harward's decision said he was concerned about whether the top advisers in Trump's administration would allow him to install his own staff on the National Security Council. Flynn's deputy, K.T. McFarland, told The Hill on Tuesday that Trump had "asked that I stay on." "

    Not only does CBC's Katie Simpson spreads fake news, she's also incompetent as a journalist!

    BOOOOOO to CBC!  You're a disgrace!

      It wasn't corroborated!  What she reported wasn't accurate at all when checking for accuracy was so simple.  She deliberately omitted!

      BIG F for FAIL.

      It was based on a story by Chris Hayes of MSNBC, which was corroborated completely.

      It is fine to say BIG F for FAIL, because you wanted a more in-depth story. It is not correct however to call it fake news.

  2. Full coverage of Trump speech in South Carolina on Canadian news channel.  A few clips only for Trudeau and his gff Merkel.

  3. CTV and CBC were almost foaming at the mouth! Aghast that Trump took on the media again! :lol:

    Of course, as expected from lying media delivering fake news, they took his message out of context, and gave their own interpretation!

    Stop giving fake news!  Do your job!

      Foaming at the mouth, and dealing with nothing. "I don't know anything about Russia"

      Shep Smith from Fox News doesn't put party before country. He said: "Your opposition was hacked, and the Russians were responsible for it, and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening, and we’re fools for asking the questions? No, sir, we are not fools for asking this question, and we demand to know the answer to this question. You owe this to the American people.”

  4. Trump nuked the media again! :lol:  I love the long faces from the CNN crew.

    Boy, I think this is how it'll be with Trump.  He'll be giving news conference to keep the public abreast with the news! I love it!

    Now I know why our Cabinet Ministers had to go to Washington to "lay the gorund works" for this upcoming meeting.

     

    "The official versions of the calls have noted the usual niceties exchanged between world leaders and mutual invitations for visits.

    But in a long interview Trudeau gave in December to a Montreal radio station, he hinted that the atmosphere on the Trump call may not have been as warm as expected. "

      :lol:  Oh Bubber.....you better re-read her tweet.  :lol:

       

      She did referred to a resistance - but she invoked the help of the military to overthrow the government.  So, she meant a resistance through coup d'etat.  She didn't have to specifically say, "let's do a coup d'etat."  It's already understood and it's there in her statement. :lol:

      That's it now, Bubber. 

       

    3. BubberMiley

      BubberMiley

      I already told you a military can take part in a resistance by refusing to follow the orders of a president. That's not a coup. They are not seizing power. They are resisting his authority.

      So quit trying to put words in that poor comedian's mouth.

      A white supremacist was needed to make this horrible event fit the narrative. 

      The first thing any police-type does is arrest those giving medical assistance to the wounded...duh.

  13. Why does Manitoba have to plead with the Federal gov to get help with refugees from the USA?

    Trudeau ought to be prepared for this, after all he issued a world-wide invitation. And yet, just having  22 refugees cause crisis? 

    Only 22, and they call it a crisis!:rolleyes:

      “We know this is a federal problem, it just happens to be in our community,” said Greg Janzen, the town’s Reeve, who is sending the federal government a bill to draw attention to the resources his community needs. “We haven’t heard a response yet, but I’m confident we’ll get something, even if it’s not exactly what we hope for.

      This has all been on our taxpayers so far, which really throws our fire department’s budget, for instance, way out of whack,” he said. “So what we’re trying to do now is plan ahead [in expectation] that there’s going to be a lot more people.”

      It's not like as if this is the first time this happened.  Feds should've been well-prepared for this!

      They were not directly mentioning Trump.....they're digs or swipes at him.  It's unmistakeable.

    4. BubberMiley

      BubberMiley

      It's certainly unmistakable that Trump engages in politics of the sort he is describing, and it's certainly true he does that more than any other mainstream candidate, but the reality is he was talking about the political environment, not Trump. Just because you recognize Trump as such a person doesn't mean Trudeau was talking about him specifically.

      Betsy, YOU are spreading fake news now. For shame, exclamation mark. The name is Meharchand, not Marchand. I know it is pronounced that way on the CBC but she is of Indian rather than French origin and was born in Durban, South Africa. 

    4. betsy

      betsy

      Peter, that's why I was asking how the heck 90 days became 4 months.  That's what she reported.    I notice too that bot CBC and CTV pundits on political talk shows had dropped specifying that it's a temporary ban.  Most, if not all, say it's a ban! Hosts, should be interjecting and pointing out it's temporary.

  22. Dos amigos?  Are you kidding?  Who needs a catty, back-stabbing amigo?

     

    Those tweets were meant to be knives!

      Quote

       

      President Donald Trump won’t be coming to Canada for his first face-to-face meeting with Justin Trudeau — nor will that get-together be taking place this week, a source close to the prime minister has confirmed.

      -----------------

      All we really know is that Trump is not coming to meet Trudeau on the prime minister’s home turf. The prime minister has to hope that this is the last advantage he’ll cede to the new president.
