We aren’t talking about just anyone. How low do you set the bar for a Supreme Court Justice when it comes to previous behaviour?

If so, I think the message is don't join the military or RCMP. I hate to say it but that would be my advice.

No, Micheal is right. The Republicans set the bar with Garland.

Na, he's right.

Little Donny is upset because the mean lady won't let him have his way. Sad. https://globalnews.ca/news/4491165/trump-trashes-freeland-ambassador-says-she-is-ok/

I would think it's not really surprising from someone who has lived a fairly cloistered academic life.

So does this mean that Republicans now believe Ford was assaulted. If so, it might be a good idea to find out who actually did it. Who might be the ones to do that do you think?

The wold’s four largest banks are Chinese.

They were also about Roe v Wade. Funny how all the Republican nominations seem to come down to abortion. The FBI also investigated the Thomas/Hill allegations.

Yup. You wonder how they can be so cavalier about a lifetime appointment. At least our founders had the brains to make our Supreme Court Justices retire at 75.

True but you are making accusations just as these women are. What makes yours true and theirs false?

You are charging someone with making false allegations. Aren't they innocent until proven guilty?

Not going to work for the USA or anyone else and the US isn’t the only one that will be driven into a depression.

So let's have a trial.

I don’t like governments that rely on deficit spending but. US federal deficit, 50 times Canada US federal debt, 35 times Canada US per capita federal debt, $62,000 USD Canadian per capita federal debt, $32,000 CAD Debt to GDP, US #10, Canada #20 The only reason the US can get away with this is because the world still sees the USD as the world reserve currency, is willing to buy US debt and allows the US to print money at a rate no other country can. That can’t last forever.

We are only hearing about Freelands alleged sticking to a feminist negotiating agenda from some Canadians. Not a peep about it from Americans. Why is that?

Two more. There is never just one with these guys.

They said that a year ago. Show me where she said that recently. Again, why aren't we hearing any of this from American sources?

We have no idea what stage the negotiations are in. I would be very surprised if those positions weren't abandoned a long time ago and can't believe they would still be sticking points. None of them are being mentioned by the Americans, it's only some Canadians who still have their knickers in a knot.

When the Democrats asked HW Bush to have the FBI investigate the Thomas, Hill affair during Thomas' confirmation, Bush agreed. Trump and the present GOP aren't so interested in finding out the truth. Chuck Grassley was on that confirmation panel as well. How standards change, and not for the better.

See DOP and taxme posts above. Do they represent anything important? Not to me but who knows and there are plenty more out there.

It's not irresponsible or cavalier, it's strategic. It works both ways. No doubt Canada has presented a perfectly reasonable compromise. If Trump wants to meet his own deadline, all he has to do is accept it.

It’s important if enough people share their views and it isn’t bullshit. There are always valid criticisms of every policy. Who gives a shit if Trump likes her or not, the feeling is probably mutual. This is supposed to be a negotiation, not a popularity contest. As far as deadlines go, this was cooked up by the US and Mexico. Their deadline, their problem. Canada had nothing to do with it.

They are respected by many that's why they were elected, but if you look at the comments sections of news articles on NAFTA, there are tons of sexist comments about Freeland that have nothing to do with NAFTA or her job.

Some, but when you look at all the sexist, homophobic crap directed at Freeland these days, I think a hell of a lot of it is.
