  1. President Trump called PM Trudeau this AM to express his condolences on behalf of the people of the United States.

      See...President Trump can be very....presidential.

      I surprised he had even heard of Canada.  It's so unimportant, after all.

      Trump's name rides high above Canada's largest cities.

  2. BC - you've certainly got your 24 hour coverage (in Canada) now.

      There's the reason for the language awkwardness - some of these people are not well versed in English.

      Isn't this a national story in Canada ?   Maybe the RCMP will offer more English language information and enthusiasm.   These guys seem pretty low on the food chain.

      Will Trudeau address his nation on Monday ?   Or stick with Twitter...like Trump ?

    3. Smallc

      Trudeau will address Canadians soon - and it's not Islamic terror.

  4. And just like that, cash for access is over - thank goodness.

      It isn't going away. He is still going to whore himself to rich people, only now he'll do it in a public building.

      No wonder the Conservatives are going to be up in arms about this: "requiring the events to be held in publicly accessible spaces rather than private homes or clubs". There goes all their backyard bar-b-queues that they pretend don't happen. 

  5.  Try this again: 

    Obama now has the longest streak of continuous job gains in 77 years.

      These are strange times.  Presently 95,102,000 Americans are not in the work force, the highest it's ever been, and up 18% since Obama took office.  Is the glass half full or half empty?  

    3. Smallc

      The same thing is happening here, largely due to changing demographics.

      Hard not to get job gains after the largest recession in 77 years.

      Weird that this is on your wall - not what I wanted lol.

      Yep, I bet there is yet another hefty cancelled check made out to Israel signed by the POTUS.

      That was obvious all through the primaries and election. It doesn't seem to matter.

      Surely a White House Counsel to a past president has a certain kind of experience to back up his opinion that very few others have.

  9. My fiancee hit the ditch tonight - did a bit of damage to her truck, but I'm glad she was okay.

  10. So a few Tory bagmen are upset that the new independent senators might be almost as bad as them.

      number of times I have voted tory: 0

      number of times smallc voted for tory: non-zero

       

      ...

       

      lots of reasons to be critical of Trudeau's decisions with respect to the senate. The NDP has long advocated abolition of the senate. The BC government supports abolition.

    3. Smallc

      Smallc

      And I'd vote Conservative again with the right leader and circumstances - is that supposed to be some kind of an indictment? 

  11. We know she wasn't there for the decision, but she may or may not have been consulted.  

     

  12. Conservatives get angrier and angrier every day.

      If you think this will change anything either here or elsewhere regarding ghg's, you're stupid, if you think this will be revenue neutral to Canadians, you're stupid, if you think China is going to follow suit, you're stupid.

  13. I notice everyone has been posting, and I couldn't even get here. Not that I missed it, to be honest.

      "Pip" is from alt='Pip' because the black bullet img is not loading. There are five bullet objects, hence "PipPipPipPipPip".

  14. A week in Glasgow for $900, and a week in London for $800 (for 2 people per person). Should I wait, or pull the trigger?

  15. I predict some very cheap travel to the UK....

      It's already gotten cheaper over a few hours!

  16. Lesson one in being a conservative - when you say the word liberal, you have to spit is, as if with vile hatred. You don't have to make sense or know why.

      So, according to you, hate is disgusting, but when Conservatives hate it's even worse. Got it.

      You know you really are sounding like a child in a sandbox with your, "yeah but your hate is worse than my hate" schtick. But keep it up, as you are fitting in well with the Liberals.

      We shouldn't be selling arms to regimes that wouldn't hesitate to turn them on their own people. Some things are more important than money.

      Fighting a forest fire is dramatically different from forest to forest...

      Someone doesn't understand the difference between soft wood and hard wood, I guess.

      Fighting a forest fire is drastically different from forest to forest when one of the forests is dry bush for literally hundreds and hundreds of miles around. Those are more difficult to control than ones in smaller forests that are typically found close to civilization.

  19. It's almost entertaining to watch the irrational hatred of Trudeau by conservatives.

      Don't worry Smallc, in a couple of years Trudeau Jr. will be a past wet dream and you will then be cheer leading for whomever is in power at the time.

      Too bad they only costed the first two years out of five. The PBO will no doubt be chasing down some "actual numbers" for the other three years.

    3. Hydraboss

      Best guess? The Liberals didn't supply cost breakdowns because they don't have them.

    4. Smallc

      They actually said in the letter that they don't have them.
